Commission in exchange for custom art software! It's a political cartoon for a LARP, I think it's the second-nerdiest thing I've ever drawn.

Working on a design for a new mural. Still very WIP. Trying to figure out how much graff / graphic design aesthetic should be incorporated.



Variations.


I'd probably just stick with the art nouveau border and lose the background geometry, it feels like an afterthought and doesn't really gel with the flowing curves of your subject. I'd also reverse the values between the background and the border as the heavy black forms are overpowering. Having a darker background will make the figure stand out more and the border will feel lighter and less confining. Like so:

This is great advice. Thank you!! Waiting to hear back from the client about the pose. Sunflowers is a big element so I am trying to figure out how best to incorporate them. Maybe like this? https://pre00.deviantart.net/16f2/th/pre/i/2010/197/f/e/sketch_rally_in_mucha_style_by_ckirden.jpg

Since my morning isn't bogged up by lectures at the moment I think I'll try going to bed earlier and instead doing my drawings in the mornings.

So this morning I did some more sketches.

Nice work here. I would have been tempted to add some god rays but that's heavy handed and often cheesy.
I sketched this a couple of days ago. How do you guys stay motivated to create art every day? Some have said in the past to clear out "me" time in a day and find a quite place to be alone. Weirdly, I do most of my sketching out at bars, which can be very crowded. However the drawings aren't always great and inevitably I see a friend or some drunk wants to talk to me about the drawings. Trying to get back into a daily routine but am finding it harder than it should be.

Radio your contour is always so loving good. You wouldn't happen to have any recommendations on like art books/tutorials/anything regarding how you learned because God drat do I love your style.

Thank you I went to a different session that had longer poses so the ones i posted were a 25-minute and a 40-minute (EDIT which gave me the time to really focus on the inner forms of the face). Also I came late so I didn't get discouraged or bored and I didn't psyche myself out. Just jumped right into a 25 minute pose. It worked out pretty well.

Thanks. Yes I would recommend "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." That's the only art book I've read, that I can recall.I found it pretty useful for contour drawing but am still struggling to see value and form. I would also recommend, after you do a life drawing session, go home and trace the major contours in pen. I used to do that a lot when i was starting and I think it' may be helpful for muscle memory and line-confidence, especially if your life sketches have wiggly or choppy lines.

drat, that looks wicked good! Love your colourwork there. Like, the red is so bright it's almost too much, but just avoids going from eye-catching into overwhelming! Not meaning that in a backhanded way, it's well good.

Sitting in the park in the sun drawing people, had a conversation with a tiny little old lady, and drew a security dude who noticed me and started pouting and posing for me. :3:

You too! :hfive:

I don't really do anything with them, they're just random people I think up while sketching to try out different things.
I've been trying to work on a script for a short comic recently, but I can't seem to figure out how to end it, so I haven't gotten to drawing it yet.
