OMG

Humans are attractive

I used to hate drawing faces but it's kinda fun now. I mean it still doesn't look quite like the actual being but it's getting there. Hopefully. Very quick sketches. Pardon the language. I was feeling kinda of grouchy.

ANYWAY, it seems like I didn't update for a freaking long time. I decided to start a tumblr called horrible portraits. Basically, it files all my ugly attempts in drawing celebrities, musicians, actors and more. Check it out here. Feel free to drop your request and name/nick at the "Ask me to draw someone"  section and I will draw an ugly person for you. Thanks!

MORE POSES

TOO MUCH PROCRASTINATION! I only did 3 pose today.

I'm suppose to be working on a super short animation that I conceptualized.
I'm suppose to revise Japanese.
I'm suppose to do more animation.


I don't know why I only started working at night. Am I a night worker? By the way I went to fix my back and now I got bruises all over and it hurts. The good thing is that my bones went back to their rightful position and the numbness reduced.

More poses

More poses to make up for the last 2 days I MIA! More drawings rolling in!

Figurative sketches

Sorry about the obscenity of the figures. Haha. Little did I realize it till I'm done. I was trying to squeeze in a small page. These poses are from 30s maniac. I used the 90 seconds interval because I wasn't fast enough.

I did these after watching a small segment of Glenn Vilppu's masterclass video on figures. He is so amazing I suggest those who want to learn more about figures to watch them. He knows the human anatomy inside out from anatomy, gestures to rendering them.

These aren't good but I'll keep on drawing!

Heidi

Sorry this sucks. This was one of those doing it for the sake of doing it. I have to put in more effort

Like wo

I was trying to paint my favourite character. I failed. At least he looked human.

EDITED: The more I look at this, the worse it looks. Need more practice!

How I wanna spend my afternoon

Feeling lazy today. The color scheme was totally unexpected. I was on the train today and was staring at the diffuse shadows of trees so I was inspired to try painting something like that. I kinda like painting from my imagination now. I love light. Gonna study about them and observe more. This one was quite fast, after I found out why my wacom tablet mouse cursor was jittery and all.

This is how I would want to spend one of my lazy afternooon, alone by myself, underneath a magical tree. I still need one more painting to make up for the day before yesterday.

Imagining things in my head

Feeling angry today! RED. Actually, I'm starting to paint according to the colors I like on a certain day. I'm starting to understand a little more about lighting. I just have to keep doing it even when  don't know what I'm doing.

I'm starting to think about storytelling techniques as well. Very inspired by an environment painter. This one took me around half an hour to paint. A little time taken to think about what I want.

I kinda like the mood of it. I realized that it is not that I can't but it is sometimes that the stuff I imagined is a little hazy that makes the painting a little hard to depict like the previous ugly drawings I did. Once I know what I want to do, it  becomes clearer.

This one is about a boy going to the volcano to obtain the mystery stone. A little cheesy story for a cheesy day.

Don't give up, keep painting.

Thirsty

I was thinking why this sketch is kinda bur then I remembered I kept this zoomed out when I was painting. Three trekkers in the desert. I'm starting to see shapes and tones so it is a good exercise. Using the brushes made by hannes. Really cool brushes, just hope I can paint better.


I didn't post for the previous 2 days because I was modelling objects, so I'm gonna post 2 more work today! I will make up for each day I didn't post. I will try stick to posting everyday and make up for those days I didn't post.

I decided to add what song I was listening to while I am painting.

Listening to: Oh land while painting.

Sick of ugly paintings

It just gets uglier.

Hi my imaginary friend

I don't know what I am seeing. Sneaky cobra.

Watercolors B&W

Tonal studies. Very spectacular view (The photo reference of course) I hope I brought it out. Haha. A very quick one. 20 mins or so I reckon.

By the way I had been using a lot of reference for all the pictures so if you find one of yours, I probably got it from tumblr or google.

I'd been reading Noah Bradley's posts. Very encouraging. I really do need some encouragement. As an amateur artist, those critiques hurt bad. I'll just gotta keep doing it.

If I do do 1 or two pieces a day, I hope to see some improvement after 6 months.

I am seriously gonna stick to this and no procrastination. See you tomorrow.

Imaginative

Doing a bit of imaginative work here. No reference. Experiencing some technical errors with wacom. The tablet does not react to the pen instantly, it takes around 5 seconds for it to detect the pen above the tablet. I seriously do not know what is wrong.


The start of a bad drawing means I'm on the way to improve.
