I got my younger brother, Erik to take a look at it. I don't know, i became desperate and soon regret hit. His words for my drawing is "it sucks." No detail, even when asked, his only opinion was really"it sucks." Way to go younger brother, I'll just continue doing what i was doing.This was probably one of the most infuriating projects I've done through the end. As of now, I'm not currently happy or proud of what I've done. Yet, even though it turned out worse than expected I can't help but feel like I need to finish it. I absolutely dislike the eyes as they look like weird aliens. The 2nd girl from the right has a head that has shrunk into wombo, the girl clinging to the guy has a neck of a giraffe and the girl next to her to the left has eyes bigger than egg yolks, and I think the girl at the far left turned out okay except for the weird legs. The most successful I feel, turned out to be the male. I really don't practice drawing, which seeing this, it really shows. That being said, I think the peice turned out okay. I really like the bodies and that was my main struggle. That and hands. Usually when I got stuck, I looked at drawing guides on tumblr.I got so frustrated with eyes that I decided to go with a more cartoony look. Which I regret not looking at them inked. I don't think cartoony is bad, infact the peice already had a cartoony feel to it because of its 2D style. I've always been fond of cartoons and not only that but my favorite type of art is SuperFlat, which I believe my influences shine, especially in this peice. If I could start again, I might just take advantage the cartoony look and exaggerate the background to something more trippy. Also, I would change the eyes. Don't know what to but I know it'd be something more detailed and better looking than the ones on them currently. In conclusion, I've grown a lot as an artist, I've learned how to draw a female without their garments, I improved in the art of drawing a hand, and I have taken enough risks to see what works and what doesn't because to me, there are a number of things that don't work.
Since I've started, I had difficulty with sizing and finding a center or focus point to have all the objects align to. So I relied on the angles I could make out with my pencil and ruler. The picture taken was an early quick sketch of the lines and yeah it's off. I had to get used to repositioning the paper all the time on my lap since the clips get in the way. The way it is now, it is a lot more proportional as I came in and reworked with things. Thus far I can say the best thing about it is the porportions and I want to shift focus to contour as I progress. It's a bit different than atocipated but it's not too off the path I wanted to take that I can't fix it or focus it a bit more
A quick crappy shot of my room devoid of mess. I'm using a corner of a room as a center to make a more dynamic. The angles spread out to present the rest of the room. The morning light will seep into the room through the curtains as the whole room is in the dark. Laundry will be intitionally laid out on the floor for a more interesting contours and to symbolize my lifestyle. Last but not least, my younger brother being lazy while playing videos to show our easy going lazy life's and create of air of fimilarity for those with similar lifestyles. I'm mainly relaying on contour and shading to make this interesting to look at instead of just another drawing of a teenange boys room. The biggest risk for me is probably the shading since I'm a total noob at it.
The last project will be made in the comfort of my home. I want to sketch out a corner of my room with the window, T.V, closet, and my brother being lazy in view. My room is a reflection of dorm life's for its uncomfortable sofa bed, pile of laundry all over and dimly lit. I feel like mph room will be interesting enough to look at with light casting into parts of the room. It'll be reflection of my lifestyle and hopefully it's pulled off stylishly. The inspiration came from what my art teacher told me to do one day for figure sketching and to " sketch out your brother playing DS." So I got the idea of capturing the place where I spent my entire teenage years in. It's the ultimate idea for peice about me!
This was a lot more difficult than I anticipated it to be. Not only was I challenged to shade the drawing, I also didn't know how to draw a popcorn. It was far from byzantine and popcorn would always look like a new continent other than an actual popcorn. Regardless, this was a challenge and it really helped my grow as an artist as now I have some idea of what it is to shade. I would always try to avoid shading because I really never knew how to therefore I was afraid to even try it out. As I got more into the exercise, the better the contour got but the shading was still really awkard. All in all, now that I have tried this out, I can now say I'm willing to experiemnt with shading more,
One of the most basic things in any sketches is value. The value scale helps with my understanding of shading. It became undeniably difficult to determine if one shade is different from the other because sometimes they're so similar in shading. Still it showed how simple it can be to shade just by being lines closer to each other. Regardless, I now have something to compare to so I hope it helps me make more interesting art work.
Again, the opinion of my partner was " I like it". No criticisms were made except for the theme which seemed like a bunch of girls that are clearly out of league forthe boy they're attached to. So no, there will be no changes as of now.
For this one I think I might keep it simple once again. My skills as an artist are stil more or less the same from the last project and it makes it difficult to draw lots of people in detail. Still, I'm planning on making them realistic and stylish enough to resemble human being. The style of it will hopefully add to a more melancholy feel. The hardest so far, drawing women in provocative poses. Holy crap do they just have curves. Especially since some of these are tampered with. |
