The recent year has been slow due to work-related stuff and relationship commitments... Been getting back into it over the past months however and feeling pretty good about it.

 

Started this in August and it sorta grew over the months. I probably should've worked more on the construction and pose, since it became a problem as I tried to push myself in terms of detail. I still like it a lot, it's a bit of an homage to the futuristic soldiers I used to draw as a teen, trying to keep to an 80s aesthetic instead of the over-complicated designs that are prevalent nowadays. The face needed a lot of re-dos.

 

 

Recent studies that went over well on artstation and the level up Facebook group. First one is Caliban from the Logan film.

I'm not sure what the implications are here, or what you specifically mean by tracing, but I do use a grid for some of these studies (part of artists' repertoire since the Renaissance) during initial stages. Another technique I use heavily is moving your eyes rapidly between the piece and the reference. I think you underestimate how much time I spend on them. Different exercises are suitable for different purposes, I think an exercise like this is good for practicing rendering and believe it's more important to not color pick your hues using the eyedropper than to not use construction aids. As for whether photo studies are art or not, I don't really give a shit, it's a considerable part of artists' work these days.

I hear what you're saying, but I wanna see you working on drawing and structure first before you start worrying about finished rendering

[Lewps]

Youre so good prdctvsm

why did you choose to use different inks for each half?

[prdctvsm]

thx hps lewps (^: its the 1 & olny same ink tho, but diluted w. water from the place drawn.

coz its so bloody hot & muggy here, thinning the ink helps to keep the drawing flowing.
