AAAAAHHH it's the fattiest fatfat raccoooon aaahhh :kimchi: I actually did lol when I saw this.


Thank you for giving a female fantasy character proper armour, seriously.



Quick n messy noonwraith-ish monster (from witcher 3, the reason I've gotten nothing done for a week).



Might do other monsters from it, all the female monsters in the game have such glorious hagtits, it's incredible.

I use a bunch of tools for 3D but my primary workload is handled by a mix of ZBrush and Maya. If you want to try and get into 3D sculpting I recommend Sculptris, which is like a zbrush lite, more for hobbyists or people who want to test the waters a bit before dropping hundos on beefier software. I'm mostly recommending it because it's free, but it's pretty nice.

Blender is free and also has a sculpting mode, in addition to other cool stuff.

I've been trying to assemble a nice small set of tools in Procreate, and drew some zombies meanwhile two of which don't have there dicks out

Not a daily drawing, but my first bronze casting. Casting metal can be really dangerous, but such a different sense of accomplishment vs. making a 3d model in software. Foundries are cool. This is a coat hanger and keyring holder. :)



These are so loving cool. My husband used to do casting and forged stuff in school, after we move I'll have access to a mondo workshop so I'm going to see if I can get all the tools together so he can start again.

This months thread is full of really great stuff!

Here's a buncha stuff I've cobbled together over the month. ...I guess that's not really daily, but oh well. I swear I did some sketches and work that wasn't quite this cartoony, but it's a heckuva lot rougher.






The last one in particular is a bit of disappointment to me. Besides the somewhat botched hatching everywhere, I feel like the color choices still don't really gel together. Anyone have any good readings or work studies that help a fella get better at that? I'm pretty sure I'm too attached to the notion of 'ah yes, blonde hair, that should be yellow' as opposed to being able to adjust it to the light source.

In the event that you make sense, I will still send you to the 7th circle.

These are all really fun to look at! James Gurney's Color and Light would be a great source for tackling the problem you mentioned. His approach is to create gamut masks that limit your pallet to colors that "belong" together. He's a realist painter, but the concepts he teaches apply to pretty much all illustration.

Another Procreate thing. I like the little car which I did redraw once.

I think the colors on the last one are the best actually. If I were drawing in this webcomic style I would avoid simple gradients cuz they look too digital, and airbrush shading like on the apples there. I'd also pick between shading with inks, hatching, stippling and so on, or clean inks with digital shading, or I'd go very light on one and heavy on the other.

Colors yeah, colors are important

http://www.huevaluechroma.com/index.php

This site COLOUR THEORY MADE DIFFICULT by some guy pretty much lords over everything else on the internet and elsewhere for color theory. He talks somewhere in there about digital color as well, sRGB all that sgit. IIRC he also tlks optics and basic physics of light like Lambert's laws, grazing angle, refraction... Or maybe that's from elsewhere.

Read through that and then watch those Feynman's lectures that are aslo available on some website that looks like it came from 1997, in case you ever begin wondering why light behaves like it does. Wikipedia is also helpful.

All of that is simple secondary school level crap, like all art theory, it's super easy to understand and remember. The challenge is to apply it properly.

Generally I draw flat on a table but I have RSI, so I have built a standing workstation for my computer. Of course that is digital stuff and I have only just started using an easel again. Working in a standing position is always better, but it is a hard habit to break when you have a laptop and a sketchbook. As far as angle goes, that is generally just flat / straight on, rotating the sketchbook a little if I need to. Probably the most unusual thing is that I am left handed but born blind in my left eye. Not sure what kind of bearing that has on my 2d or 3d art.

Does that answer your question? No one has ever asked me that before.

Not a daily drawing, but my first bronze casting. Casting metal can be really dangerous, but such a different sense of accomplishment vs. making a 3d model in software. Foundries are cool. This is a coat hanger and keyring holder. :)



Nice work! I miss casting bronze. I haven't done it in over 30 years. Gotta get back to it, somehow.

This is what I did today instead of drawing:

Will post a thread on the bronze stuff soon. Made another one today.

Ever have one of those nights, when you have a million things to do, and instead you draw a dragon bursting through a skull? . . . No? . . . Guess it is just me then. :(

That linocut rocks.

Did a quick header sketch for my new blog, this is my new home for at least the summer. Not gonna lie, I'm loving all the awful 70's style the thing has.
