Yo!
This thread is for posting whatever you worked on today.
It doesn't have to be finished.
It doesn't have to be good.
Any size.
Any medium.
Any style.
Any colors.
Just take some time and draw/create something!
Then show it to us.
See how many days you can post in a row without missing a day.
The idea is to turn out lots of different ideas and drawings over time.
Or if you really want, you can post the same thing again if you do more work on it the next day.
Crits and thoughts are also welcome.
But try hard to always post an image of your own along with text.
GO!

I like that rabbit with a huge mouth, PixelPiledriver :D it reminds me of Monty Python and The Holy Grail

thats really cute tijjer, i like the colours. I think this thread is just for sketches though?

Ive been messing around with designs for a balding bruiser for a game, im not a great drawer though, its a bit wonky. upperbody is a bit twisted, his left arm is too far forward i think. pixel art for games is forgiving with its fixed perspectives!

Yo!
This thread is for posting whatever you worked on today.
This tells me that the only limitation for a contribution relates to the time-frame in which it was concieved or changed.

I'm embarassed about still not having finished this secret santa piece. I'm in bit of a slump, because all I ever do with it is go in and make small changes. I don't have a "game-plan" for how to proceed, so I just make corrections, even though the piece (possibly) isn't done on a conceptual level. Anyway, today I made some of those small changes, so I'm posting it.

Perhaps trying to keep up with daily updates through this thread will encourage me to try and do more significant improvements. I hope!

He said any style so it can be either pixel, digital, or traditional.  Maybe even beyond that.  But thanks for the complement!  Its supposed to be Isabelle from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

yep youre right, i missed the 'any medium' part!

@Tijjer

thanks for the feedback! I see what you mean, do you think a lot of that stems from the feet? like theyre not correctly aligned to the floor?

@Mr farenheit

they look cool. the white highlight on the glass helmet looks too big and low to me, id push it up and show more of the mans face inside.

Hopefully this will help motivate me to improve my meager skills. I have been hoping to do a geometric self portrait for some time. Today I started out with some sketches, I think I want to do the 3/4 view. I will continue to post my progress, moving into different mediums and hopefully eventually have an avatar to use.

I've had a wacom for over a year now, and all I've done with it is pixel art. So I've decided to join this as long as I can. First thing I learnt is drawing digitally is very different to the paper medium. Second thing I leant, I suck at drawing. After a couple of hours in Photoshop I started to get more comfortable and drew some concept art for a game I'm never going to make :)

No its the waistline.  I feel its a bit too small compared to the rest of the torso.  Also yeah feet could be adjusted some.

yeah i shouldve thought about the construction more, and the plane hes standing on. though the proportions are meant to be unrealistic, big gorilla arms, undersized lower body. I think i might start practising gesture drawings, realistic proportions etc.

To clear any confusion, you are all doing it right.
This thread is about getting into the habit of drawing.
Pixel, pencil, solid, sketchy, color, grayscale, etc are all good and welcome.
The important part is that you try to come back on a regular basis and post something you made that day.

Post by: Cheetah on February 01, 2014, 06:12:30 am
I was generally disappointed in my original sketch attempts, so I'm just working on drawing geometric portraits from references. So the following is just a rough reproduction. Enough of these though and hopefully I will have more confidence in tackling my self-portrait again. The final work will likely be simpler than these, in terms of number of planes, and I need a better photo for reference of myself.

@Milokey: It looks great, but I agree with your assessment that the doorway is too boring.
@LIJJ: I'm a big fan of pen, otherwise I over think what I'm working on instead of just doing it.

You could practice making animations with paper like that! Easy to draw atop the previous frame because of the see-through.

It's really interesting to see the art you guys do other than pixel.

Cyangmou I like the way you draw, very precise and yeah, clean and confident for sure. No hesitation, good form. A joy for the eyes. I'm a big fan of everything in pencil anyway.

@Pix3m really nice fonts.
Everyone nice work again =)

using a simple mechanical "F" pencil sharpened with a cutter, for some occassions also a "B" pencil. But since those are just sketches I don't use my full set. Usually I'd say I am using all from 4B to 2h if I am actually drawing a pencil artwork.

For today something animation and Anime related.
It's Gilles de Rais from Fate Zero.
Very inspirational character, pure incarnation of joy. It's so sad that he don't made it to the end, but at least he vanished with a big boom.
Regarding anatomy: Fate Zero is really advanced in terms of how they drew and animated their faces, it's definitely one of the animation series which has the highest quality standards and definitely worth to study for every animator.

@Pix3m: ohhh I love that font! I'm a sucker for anything Art Deco, if you couldn't tell from my pull towards BioShock. :]

@Probo: really cute sprite! The animation motions look good to me, but maybe try slowing them down just a bit and see how that looks?
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Probo on February 03, 2014, 08:47:29 pm
@Cyangmou thanks for the pencil info, i didnt realise mechanical pencils were even sharpened! I thought that was one of the benefits, not having to sharpen. so you just swap out the lead as and when you need it? that looks like a fun face to draw, reminds me of blanka for some reason!

@bbreakfast

thanks for the feedback! I have tried it slower, but it was too choppy i thought. I could maybe smooth that out with more frames, but its going to be part of a pseudo-8bit game im trying to make so I dont want to use too many frames.

your sprite looks great by the way. only thing that looks a bit off to me is the hips, they look rather wide, or like he has really full pockets or something? maybe its part of your style.

Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Cyangmou on February 03, 2014, 08:59:05 pm
... ah no.. no mechanical pencil (meant a traditional one I suppose),
although I used a mechanical pencil a long time, but the standard ones are much better if it comes to giving pressure.
You indeed don't have to sharpen a mechanical pencil, unless you are using a charcoal-version or howeve rit's called.

I am using exactly those ones:

Didnt have much time for sketching besides some doodles on papers. I did crash that dropship I drew into some shipping crates. Who loves messy effects, I do!

Also, I find a lot of charcoal pencils to be annoying to draw with because of the friction against the paper is makes it sort of jumpy. I also have a weird thing that makes me not want to shade too much so I dont waste any charcoal  :-[ I assume I shouldnt worry about that right?
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Probo on February 04, 2014, 01:33:35 am
that looks great Mr F!!! is that a game then?

Im not a massive fan of charcoal either, but I went to a couple of life drawing classes about a year ago and the dude running it showed me the technique of blocking in the full silhouette of what your drawing with the side of a light charcoal piece before drawing it properly. dunno if thats common, but i got results i was happy with out of it. obviously its a bit messy though.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Mr. Fahrenheit on February 04, 2014, 01:38:40 am
Its a forum game I play called Picture wars, we could always use more members if your interested  :-[. You basically draw a small pixel army and take turns fighting it out with people on a map, its pretty fun.

That technique seems like a good idea, because you can always use an eraser to draw out the lighter forms. I'll try that soon

I seem to have a reoccurring theme of drawing these sketches when I'm really tired. :|
I got way ambitious on that pose, so I was going to reference it, but then I realized my desk mirror is too high.  First thing I'll do when I get a proper studio is get some full length mirrors.  asflksjdfaslfj (too tired to make photo reference at the moment.)

I did draw yesterday, but it was stuff for other people, more fiddling with tiles, and then I fell asleep before I remembered to make something here. haha.

These sketches make me want to poke at some comic layouts though.  Might sketch them again to get motivated. :]

Day 5! Still doing geometric portraits. I tried to do something much larger scale, still just copying a reference, and it didn't go so well. Somewhere around the lower lip it all went to hell. I'm in the process of shading it just for practice, but I definitely need to keep working at these larger ones.

Milokey: Is that mixed media or fully digital work? I like your stuff a lot but can't tell.

I didn't post yesterday cause I didn't  sketch.. I did today but it ended up being more than a sketch, a finished piece, so I shouldn't post it.

 I made a heraldic family sigil for my RPG project's index;  so far I have 6 of the 12 done.

I guess this is kind of a color key for a comic panel I did yesterday.

Also, yeah, my sketches are all digital in Photoshop.
I use the stumpy pencil brush a LOT.
You can get it here:  http://stumpypencil.blogspot.com/2009/11/return-of-stumpy-pencil.html
I highly recommend getting it, it is so choice.

Great for sketching, but also painting too.  Nice blocky brush.

Also the watercolor one is very nice too. 
http://stumpypencil.blogspot.com/2009/08/watercolors-v01.html
you can actually see both brushes used to great effect in their blog banner.
(although I use the watercolor one a lot cause it gives a nice uniform texture all around.)

I use a tablet as well, which accounts for all the line variation.

@lijj: tbh the designs aren't made by me. Those are art Nouveau furnitures, I had lying around in my reference folder.
I am doodling a lot of stuff, just to see how it's made and how the style works. Sketching is for me mainly a practice of getting things in my head, basically short notes on how something looks.
For sketching I have usually a topic and doodle stuff for that topic, or I have a subject and draw it out of different views.
first practice is mainly for learning styles and details
second practice is for improving on proportions and inventing things in space.

busy day again -.-
just doodled some random skulls, weren't really carefully, concentration dropped quickly, the ones on the right side are somewhat alright.

I see Cyangmou.. good practice to draw such objects.
The skulls.. I like the angle supine one in the second row.

I penciled a stone gargoyle type design. I may use it as one of the heraldic motifs in my collection of house sigils. Took about 25 minutes(cause I work so slowly/cautiously):

Architecture is pain.

sketching quick and perspectivical correct is always pain.

letting it starting slow today with 20 min sketches
constructed some cars loosely, with main focus on the big proportions. Why is it always such a nuisance to add the wheels?.
On top of that it looks odd if the rear axis is wider than the front axis as it is the case for the truck.
If I have time I definitely will come back to those and project those more carefully in an axonometry with some more Dieselpunk elements ....  ;D

(Need more painting practice.. I do plenty of drawing, but painting still feels ugh -- really super vague by comparison)

@Cheetah: Interesting feel. I have done some similar stuff (http://aicaz.deviantart.com/art/Isometric-tile-reference-336255098) myself in Blender. Can I suggest tweaking the water material? Currently the shadow cast by the surrounding grass tiles merges into the grass tiles.. it makes them look 'rounded, with no shadow'. Setting up a real sky and turning up the reflectivity on the water might do it.

of course, lots of sketch stuff is referenced, I haven't nearly drawn enough of most of the subjects to be 100% right with all proportions and details just right out of my head, to improve that I am sketching.

Claymore stuff, anatomy is fun to reconstruct, really long and thin necks and interesting bulked skulls. Torsos are really blocky too.

Cyangmou: The top left halberd head is a  really good design, I especially like the curves on the left side of it. bottom left looks very functional. Those old vehicles were very impressive for such quick drawings too.

Today I sketched another thing for my project, a little baby dragon bursting forth from its egg.. about 15 minutes spent:

What do you mean by this, Ai?



@ p-driver    Lovin' all the little characters! Feels like they have potential.
Owen the Oranger. Orange Owen. Ralph the Ripe. Ripe Ralph. Citrus Bomber. Sytrus Steve. I want him to have half of a orange for a hat/helmet and there be a green leaf sticking off the top for a color accent. Less monotone color scheme (though this char set if very color-coded in nature). And the leaf could rotate like a helicopter blade and give him limited flying/hovering ability. And for his finishing move, he morphs into an orange tree (with his hat on top of the leaf canopy) and all the oranges rain down like cluster bombs on the enemy.



@ ||||    Very random and interesting. I recommend tinting all that dead grey a certain color. That much straight grey next to saturated chunks of color almost always feels too jarring. Hard to explain why . . . I guess because "grey" doesn't really exist in real life, it makes it look to digital-y.
If you don't mind - basically, how'd you create all that in PS?

 :) Thanks Mathias. I made another as suggested, just some quick color changes using curves and selective color in PS.
(http://i.imgur.com/Q56VJ8T.png)

How'd I make it? I made two large textures 1st, then just colored them as psychedelic as possible ^-^. I then made some amoebas, or paisley shapes, and just kept layering the textures and painting over them 'til I had 4 solid pieces. I then made a new file and dropped the shapes there, then I converted them to smart objects so I could easily place them to make a tesselation.. once accurately placed I rasterized them. From there I just kept adding more shapes easily by lasso selecting the existing ones and tweaking the hell out of them with the almighty liquify tool to make them into somewhat new shapes. I went over the liquified ones  by painting over, and cleaning up the edges with the brush and eraser tool to keep those sort of clean. Then made those into smart objects and pasted them precisely so they would also tile. Then I painted over again adding some breaks to the obvious patterns here and there. It was fun to make something abstract.. I don't think I've done so in a long time.. felt almost care-free (altough I ended up spending like 3 hours total).
 I set it to my desktop last night but it's far too loud :blind:, so I'll revert to this simple tile I was using before:
 (http://i.imgur.com/1V2llrI.gif)['//// special']

Edit:
Cyang: Zodd kinda looks like Bateau (or Bato?) from 'Ghost In The Shell'. Very much enjoying your posts, as well as all of this thread.

 I probably wont sketch or draw today (gotta work on some tiles for my RPG). Maybe I'll make a new desktop tile though (a simple one).
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ai on February 11, 2014, 08:41:10 am
@Mathias Well, you know how when you just have a pencil and paper, there are a lot of things you could draw, but a limited number of ways to draw them.

When I'm drawing digitally, I have a frequent awareness that there are a virtually unlimited number of ways to render any given thing (extending from things as simple as brushes and modes, to tools and filters, all the way out to different apps that specialize in different things like Blender, Inkscape, Knotter), and I have to resist the feeling that I should be doing so and just finish using the current method.

Finding the degree of choice oppressive is probably an expression of perfectionism. Optimize ALL the things!

on-topic:

(https://d3hzxuizpdmi2q.cloudfront.net/o0LKk63g5YFC.jpg)

Just scanned the 110 pages/items of analogue art from January today, am going to try to render all of this batch digitally or digital/analogue mixed (at a rough guess, that will be 190 individual items). WIP, obviously (image is not filled up, not all items are rendered).

I <3 my pixel-ink MyPaint brush.

I want to do a few variations of each character.
Did another pass on Pink, as I didn't really understand the initial design ------> magic stuff or something?
Made her food based, but with candy.
I think it works well as a rival to Orange.
Might mess with it some more.

Thanks.
I'm trying hard to keep it extremely limited and still look interesting.
I really want to stick to black + white + one color for all the characters.
Another lighter/hue shifted color, along with a few grays will be used for effects.
I'll still try accents like you suggested.
I realize it's kind of an odd choice, and retinal burning.
But there's something I like about it.


Also thanks for the name ideas!
I might actually use one of those.
The best I could come up with was Egnaro.  :lol:
Somehow I forgot Owen was a name.

Finishing move idea is also cool, noted.
Would be awesome if the scene became very peaceful, with the opponent sleeping under the tree, and then the oranges sprout and bombard the crap out of them.
Definitely gonna add a few more things to his move sheet.

@Lijj: Batou is another canditate, although he differs a lot in the basic construction

I'd refer this archetype of face as "warrior/king" face. All of those are quite square shaped, have small eyes and a huge nose and a broad mouth. On top of that all the characters have a beard or a fur - which refers to their physical power.
Batou is similar, but since his basic face proportion isn't square shaped, but a rectangular, he reads much less brutish, but much more intelligent. He also lacks the fur, but that could also be because Ghost in the Shell is sci-fi - he has his detective coat.
In general I'd say the bigger the distance of the eyes, the smaller the eyes and the bigger the nose gets, the more brutish and lion-like the character feels. The mouth is always very broad.
Those proportions work very well with characters who have a very straight thinking process, a moderate intelligence and a really strong physical appearance.

Still, I don't have any frontal/sideview style guidelines for exactly measuring out the exact differences. The Drawings are really small too.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Pix3M on February 11, 2014, 10:38:09 pm

skull in profile. my sketching looks very rushed when i compare it to people on here!! maybe i should slow down

Hmmm.... a caucasoid skull.... While we're on the topic of skull construction... I'm in the mood to ramble...

I started learning this through Andrew Loomis, but first thing I notice when looking at Andrew Loomis' advice on skulls was the implicit racism. It was advised to draw ideally-beautiful faces to make illustrations that 'sell', and his faces were very clearly 'white', and so were their skulls. I grew up around a rather colorful variety of people of different racial backgrounds, and the implicit racism from a book written so long ago sticks out a bit.

If it helps, you could pay closer attention to the variety of skull shapes, and they can be classically divided into three major types: The Caucasoid skull in Europeans, North Africans, and those from the Middle-east and the Indian subcontinent. Negroid skulls from sub-saharan Africa, and the Mongoloid skulls from Central and East Asia, and the Americas.

Careful of these rigid archetypes though... East Africans tend to have more Caucasoid-like facial features than Africans from other regions (prob because of interracial relationships with the Middle East), and from personal observations as a Chinese American, the Japanese have sharper faces, and those from Southeast Asia can have longer jaws when what I normally see from people of my racial background. Some googling also tells me of three additional subcategories of Caucasoid skulls, but they are not things I could know in-person as White Americans have all integrated into one white race. I'd imagine that somebody from Europe may have a sharper eye for racial differences as people are varied enough to not be integrated into one race and ethnicity.

(This is dangerous research though, I've bump into a lot of questionably 'scientific' racism along the way as I start looking this up.)

I've seen many drawings of people of very ambiguous racial backgrounds though I can imagine it may matter for different artists more than others.  The things I wish to one day do in the future though, this would matter quite a bit.

While I'm looking at how Japanese anime's get the construction of African skulls absurdly wrong, hey.... I think if I wanna be looking at how a cartoon stylization of African faces are to be done, the Boondocks (http://"http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/TheBoondocks"), I find, is a very convincing example.

I recommend col-erase for the under sketch. ------> can also be used for the over sketch.
Non-Photo Blue is really nice and plasticy, doesn't smudge, and works really well with a light table if you have one -----> but isn't necessary.
It's what most paper animators use, but it's also good for just plain sketching.
Easy to draw over, visually recedes, adds a bit of character to the drawing, and if you really care can easily be removed ---> hence the Non-Photo.

Here's a place to get them.
http://www.dickblick.com/products/prismacolor-col-erase-pencils/
Look around for other places to buy, better prices than the one I linked probly exist.
I think I payed around 20-40 cents a pencil but can't remember where.
Gray is also good, can be light or dark depending on how much you apply, mostly smudge free -----> a lot less than graphite.

The erasers on the back of the pencil are not great.
Get a hand ersaser.
Here's a few I like.
Magic Rub (https://www.google.com/search?q=pentel+eraser&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS553US553&espv=210&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=dVf8Utj1I9XAoASgz4G4AQ&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAg&biw=1920&bih=947#q=sanford+magic+rub&tbm=isch)

Some old examples.

If you're just starting out no need to go crazy.
I'd say get like 3-5 NP-Blue and 3-5 gray to see if you like them.
From there try a few other colors.
Be warned, the other colors vary in consistency a lot.
The NP-Blue/Pink are very hard like plastic and don't smear.
Scarlet Red is moderately hard and smears a bit.
Indigo Blue/Brown/Terra Cotta are soft and smear a lot.

after all, all you need is a pencil and an eraser Zizka

I am doing stuff like that everyday, usually I am just not uploading it, for the sketchy stuff, mainly because I don't think it's really interesting to look at. After all for this the interesting thing for me is the process and the understanding of a subject, not the outcome. To post it in a sketchbook thread is fine though.

Was drawing some stuff from Peter Paul Rubens today.

It wasn't much of a new year resolution, but I decided I'd do more art from now on.
(the fact is, I wanted to make a 2013 summary of art meme, and realized I had 5 whole months where I had absolutely nothing to show)

So, since I'm trying to do something daily, either a game asset, a drawing or some pixel doodle... This looks like a good place to show some of it, I guess? So here goes nothing:

Yo!
This thread is for posting whatever you worked on today.
It doesn't have to be finished.
It doesn't have to be good.
Just take some time and draw something!

If you say you drew it, just post it
Cars are damned hard to draw, but if you know that it sucked and where it sucked, sketch the next one and try to make it suck a little bit less.
If nobody posts, it feels also odd to post things.
In the end you will always have the feel that something sucks, question is just on what level it sucks. My stuff is also off in a lot of spots.

A work in progress of some schoolwork.

I guess for me the reason I wasn't very interested in posting was because it didn't get any sort of reaction. I don't demand people to comment but usually I don't feel very motivated to take the trouble of sharing something in a given place if nothing seems to happen.

This sounds like I'm whining for people to comment on the stuff I do but please do not take it as such. I'm just explaining my reasons for not posting very much.

(also of course I have some fallow days when I just waste the entire day because of some stupid little inconvenience.)

@Lijj: if you see what's off, just try it another time and try to get it right. The forms are nice

Trying to teach myself how to draw simple toony characters.

@ ||||   Whoa, sweet car. I love that. Perfect. 35mins seems really fast for that.
And thanks for the Photoshop rundown.

@ Cyan   Thanks for the warrior/lion face bit. I'm going to remember that. Very helpful.

@ Ymedron   That's really cool. A storyboard eh? Keep it coming. Post more.


About pencils
I think they're all similar enough not to care about brands, especially the ones that overcharge because they're an "art brand". It's the hardness scale you should care about.
9B (softest) - 9H (hardest). HB is right in the middle.
9B, 8B, 7B . . . HB, 1H, 2H . . . 9H. The variable "hardness" is modified by changing the ratio of graphite to clay in the pencil's mixture, during manufacturing. More graphite = softer. More clay = harder.
Really hard pencils are annoying because they can carve into the paper and make erasing more difficult or impossible, but don't require sharpening as often.
I like soft pencils. Got an electric pencil sharpener beside  my drafting table so no problem.
I just buy the cheap-o HB's.
I'd venture to say that paper matters more than pencils. You want smooth, non-textured paper for fine, detaily sketching, and if you're after smooth gradation/shading.
Tools don't matter. Skill is all that matters. GET YER SKETCH ON

I guess that's true, I always take a "no news means nothing happened" approach to online communication. A difficult time.

@Cyangmou, Mathias:
It's a re-arranging of a comic I did for the yearly publication my school always does - the topic of the book-thing is "world-improvement", which is a frustatingly open topic actually...
The storyboardy look probably comes from the focus in the individual events? Oh well.

(https://31.media.tumblr.com/86fcf7e45d8af0f2906dc1b70c9b46cd/tumblr_n11cspWtzc1tpafdho1_500.png)
I was feeling really uncomfortable about the fact that I have no idea how to draw or design cars, guns or other mechanical objects.


I should remember to comment on people too.
--
Surt: The designs have a good natural feeling to them, very nice. I especially love the line-style and detailing of the sky jelly.

Cyang: The torso-pic has a very good sense of line. Very confident. I mainly keep looking at the middle drawing's torso and the chest area on the right.

Mathias: I like the running-sketch on the far left, also the demon/alien dudes below that.
You could push the poses to be even more... Animated? Exteme? Taking the direction of the movement and just pulling the whole character through the funnel of movement. That probably sounds pretty weird.

I agree with Ymedron, it's nice if there's some interactions as opposed to a series of drawings.

Mathias I like that style a lot! seems very unique. And that previous one, I especially like the touch of the Daily Sketch title; you also have some good looking handwriting.

Glad you guys liked that Trabant. I was able to pull it off so fast cause I already knew exactly what I needed to do, as it was the second attempt. I only changed the angle a bit and pretty much re-drew it the same, correcting some things.

All the new posts today are great!
 
 Ellian: Those bottles are super pretty!

Surt: That skypede is quite majestic.

Ymedron: Looks like a Jeep Grand Cherokee with some suped up qualities. :)

P-Driver: That poor balloon guy lol (that's an awesome style with the grey values)

Cyang: I forgot to mention I loved the armor sketches you made yesterday and I really like that middle pose on the latter torso compilation.

 I am always happy to check this thread out when I can.

Trees, with semi-automatic flatting via GMIC Colorize Comics filter.

I took the time to make a little tutorial (http://pintafema.tumblr.com/post/76822912786/gmic-color-flatting-tutorial-1-the-gmic) showing how it works.

Basically two layers in: color marks (at approximate location.. mainly just should be 'inside' the relevant area you want to end up that color), lineart layer. And you get a layer with the flats out. Pretty straightforward.

@PPD: Hah, that bird has a real 'horror movie' vibe for some reason :)

@Mathias: I like the tentacle-guy on far bottom left the best. He knows what he's doing, some of the others seem pretty unsure.
The 'blade hands' frames near the upper left have a good flow and momentum, too.

More doodling, got really bored of drawing the cars.

Zizka: Actually the comic is the "world improvement" topic. : D It's still extremely vague, it has some thought about it being better if the creation myth concerned snakes or something. Human respect for nature. My mother read it as "well humans are pretty much vipers already aren't they"..

Ellian: I love the bottles and the bar-desk - I've always been a sucker for colorful stuff.
Mathias: One solution is coming up with a more realistic design and trying to draw it with as few lines as possible, exaggerating or simplifying where detail is lost. :O
(also her*)

mini valuestudy... 8 cm height... (Space-Nazi from Iron Skies) wanted initially to sketch out the gas-masks, but got carried away because I had to make a break. Decided then to finish it up.
My scanner however seems somehow to increase the contrast significantly. Have to check that out as well.

I actually really like that square crab design. Develop it further.

@ Ymedron
Nice mutant. Imagine a big crowd of those bouncing towards you, chomping their mouths, tendrils whisping and waving around.
Did you try specular highlights? Like on his lower lip. But more. It tends to help creatures look even more disgusting if their bodies are all snotty and slimey and shiny.
Thanks for the link. That's clever.

@ PPD
Haha that was unexpected! An edit in the sketches thread. Cool. Hairy arms and legs!?
Beautiful polishing of her/his/it's toony characteristics. I think you taught me a few things. Thanks so much, man.

@ Cyan
Your scanner is applying sharpening. Look in the settings.
Well done as always. YOU MAKE ME SIIIIIIICK

Good jorbs, everyone. It's nice to see your guys' work in "real-time".
Everything starts with a sketch. Sketches are paramount. Sketch lots, but only polish the best.

Fetal things are cool, globby, organic things to draw.



Mental trick I'm using right now:
(http://i.imgur.com/S1hvxWq.jpg)

Grabbed some nifty small paper scrap from work (a printery) to sketch on.
It's fun to fill up lots of little sheets, rather than draw on a big one. My original thought was to use one per subject/character.
I dunno. Just a mental thing. Try it.

We were talking about tools. This is the crap I use. Nothing too shmancy.

Cyan, I don't know exactly what your scanner is doing, but it makes it looks rad.

Mathias, the "fill this paper sheet" thing is a good idea;
I usually work with very small surfaces, because when you fill the space it gives a valuable sense of achievement/progress, and you get more motivation/satisfaction out of your work. :)

Elbows, terrible suck at it if it comes to imagination. Same goes for all muscles of the lower arm.
Have to o something against it.
Most of the stuff drawn after Hogarth, to get warm with a stylized approach.

To be fair, it's a rather ambiguous looking thing. Who knows, really.
I liked your interpretation. THAT much more disturbing. Which is always good.


Cyan, those are some strong lines you got there, sonny.
My style has always been sloppy and manic when trying to find shape. But it does make polishing funner - the difference between sketch and final draft is even greater.


@ ||||   Fave post? Sweet. That's saying a lot. IN YOUR FACE, CYAN
That's a complex pose you took on there. Tough one. And not enough paper haha. She needs more butt. And them legs . . . look at 'em.
Your writing ain't too bad, yourself!

Honestly, I'd rather design pure, non-human monsters, but artistic choices and errr... audience's desires are two different things.
(not that I complain that much, mind you, I truly love lamias, no matter how monsterish they look  :-*)

I added scale-ish features on the neck/hands, but that's hardly an improvement.
Also another lady~

Ellian: give snake lady more mass towards the booty! I like those a lot. really gestural. try experimenting with colored outlines, see where that gets you. also i dont think you need to AA everything, its not very noticable and just makes the borders look fuzzy. try to compromise with the colored outlines and little-no aa and i think your work will look considerably crisper

Mathias: It seems like your line quality in this thread has improved a lot, i really love the energy in those sketches

||||: You're on the right track with your people, check out posemaniacs.com and practice a little, some of your figures could benefit from studying cohesive muscle structures. they remind me of dolls, this site will help you a lot i think. your facial features are distinct and dainty, a great start

 :) I didn't think people would like those sketches much. Thanks for the comments fellows. Also, thanks for pointing out some of the things in that pose. I like the pose so I will try again; only I'll, this next time, go about it more carefully. I rushed that one. It looks like she needs a pillow,   the angle is wonky, among so many other things;  so I'll adjust that in the next attempt.


Mathias: You crack me up.

  More CREEPY/COOL, VERY well done on the shading.  Also..  yes, a little more rump in the next one guaranteed.
 Funny, I under did it in this depiction of Celes.. but in this one I over did it:

(http://i.imgur.com/x6OPVRH.gif) (very old)   .. I also have another depiction of Celes in my gallery at PJ (damn I'm obsessed or something).


Ellian: Loving that sassy chick; great pixels... Much character.


Atnas: Glad you posted. All the more reason to check out the thread. Give us more! (I admit booty is almost constantly on my mind). I'll definitely check that site out. Thanks for the information.


& Cyang: Very clean anatomical diagrams. So glad you post consistently. You're owning this thread!


I put a long session in last night digital painting but it's only about half done.. and I'm not sure if I should post it here since it's not very sketchy.. I wanted to put my somewhat new tablet to use and get some digi-painting practice in. I may post it here or in Low Spec Art once I'm finished.

Messin around with the blue design.
Decided to vary his size from the others.
He's like a giant penguin, chicken, bird, thing.
He doesn't look quite as silly as before, which I liked a lot, but I think this is a more interesting design.

Mathias, yeah the anatomy is way off, but without any knowledge it looks impressive.
PPD: I think the first one is designwise the cutest - maybe you should mix him up with number 4 to see what happens.

@Ellian:
I wanted to say I really like your naga, and it reminds me of the roguelike DCSS (http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/) in style. I've gotten a good deal of artistic inspiration out of that game.

@Cyang: your studiousness is indeed inspiring. I want to do something similar, but probably mostly digital (layers.. there seems to be a certain limit to how much structure you can show in a single layer, static drawing, and I'd prefer to build it all together..)

@PPD: variations on the original design, or chronologically ordered revisions? I like #2's eyes best, has a sort of zen feel, though I can see that they might seem squinty on the larger sprites.

I really wanted to make sure that I included a sketch in every post, but that doesn't seem like it's gonna happen.. My current organization of art stuff presents a challenge to it -- I pick out items I like and batch scan at the end of each month, because scanning is tedious and a bit of a production to actually even get started. So the stuff I currently have on the computer is January stuff, the only present-time part of that is the digital inking. I also manage uploading to tumblr. I suppose that just means that posting here is the most confusing part currently.

Anyway, I guess I can post this, since I inked it recently and it's not part of a set:

(http://i.imgur.com/4b8aWMw.png)

A little bad, a little good.. eh.

Did I mention that white backgrounds are my mortal enemy?

Currently I'm pretty happy with my focus on thumbnailing / quick drawing.. seeing progress there and seem to be vindicated in the belief it's pretty much THE most basic and vital skill for building a good solid picture without mindless fiddling.

Then again, I'm quite suspicious of 'story'/narrative in general, so my idea of a good picture may be -- seems to be -- different from many other people who are posting here.

Ai: Those hands show a lot of promise, do you do an undersketch first? If not I'd suggest to try it, if they just had a sturdier framework those lines would be kickass

||||: I think it'd be a good exercise to try a drawing like the pirate lady but don't use uniform detail. like in areas of non-interest make the details become non gestural, or play with lighting. it will help focus on important parts of the image.

@PPD: make bluebirds tiniest version be his babies cus they shouldn't die! purrsimmon was the one who drew cake wizard on yesterday's sketch so i told her to join the thread.

Ellian: [...] try experimenting with colored outlines, see where that gets you. also i dont think you need to AA everything, its not very noticable and just makes the borders look fuzzy. try to compromise with the colored outlines and little-no aa and i think your work will look considerably crisper

This is a terribly good piece of advice.
I'm not sure I can do that with my current project (already spend a lot of time making sprites, and colored outlines would mean redo everything)...
But I have this bad tendency to keep doing AA even when I know it's too much. You have no idea how much AA I -removed- from these sprites... I totally lose all sense of the drawing itself and just focus on making AA, and at some point I, like, zoom back to see the whole thing and realize it's ugly. It's very annoying.
And colored outline... Well I have no idea why I didn't think about it (I love doing colored outlines, on top of that >_>), but it seems like the perfect idea.
At first I thought it would take more time to do a sprite with colored outlines, but considering how much time I lose with all this AA nonsense... I might actually save some. I'll give it a try whenever I have some time. Thank you very much.

@everyone else :
Thank you <3

Love you character in the middle of that last batch of sketches. Atnas eating chicken nuggets, it seems? Love the style of this one. :)

Screen share day!

To join you need to have a Google+ account.

Follow this link to the Google Hangout:
https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/76cpijtu5ojb4rfmbimjq6717k?hl=en

Download the Google Hangout plugin if you don't already have it.

To use screen share move your mouse to the left side of the window.
A bar with buttons will appear.
Click on the green button with the white arrow.
Then select the monitor/application you want other people to see. ------> for some reason Graphics Gale does not work with the application option, you will need to choose a monitor to display it.

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jBb0dzaHax8/UwiOHRKy2GI/AAAAAAAAJJ0/QsTCRg55r8w/s1600/HowToScreenshare_1.png)

Now you are ready to draw stuff and chat with other Pixelation people!

I will be in and out of the window, doing other stuff.
But I will try keep the hangout open all day, even if I am not around.
Voice chat is not required.
I will most likely be using the text chat window.

That's it!
If you get some time join up!
See you there!

Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ai on February 22, 2014, 11:03:26 pm
Oh, okay, that makes more sense.I agree then.. Only the one in bottom right corner really approaches 'satisfying' for me (but still needs better volumes -- finger sizes are close to correct but not the hand itself). The one in top left is obviously wrong, particularly the thumb. As Atnas said, I need to actually construct these things. It'll be interesting doing that without creating a mess of indistinguishable scribbles, unless I do it digitally.

Means I'll have to spend more than 5 minutes a page. Eh.

@Ymedron:
The middle one looks the most solid IMO, except the head -- I'm not reading the head as an object in 3d space. By contrast the top left dragon has a pretty 3d head. Maybe it's just having just-enough shading to suggest depth?

Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ymedron on February 22, 2014, 11:56:16 pm
I think the lack of 3d in the middle one's head is because I had more trouble with the design of it. :O It seems I draw better when the design comes to me quickly rather than having to noodle with it a lot...

Shading is probably also a factor, otherwise the cheek-spurs etc would be lost in the lineart.

while I was testing the whole screen sharing thing, though.

Notes:
* Browser window and window to be shared must be on same desktop/virtual desktop. Probably on same monitor too (I only have one so I can't test that.)
* Minimizing the window you are sharing causes the screen-sharing to lose track of the fact that it is sharing that window (so when you restore it, it doesn't continue sharing)

ribcages, before adding shoulders + deltoid
Bammes' Method for sketching it out felt a bit odd, though his other diagrams were great.
Top one at the left is sketched with a point method from the diagrams.

Let's see if I finish this some day...

(http://i62.tinypic.com/m7q3yw.png)

I had an interesting idea in my head, and got started with it. For a while, I thought of drawing an American home, but not only that, but I had an additional idea to spice that up with hints of "Land of the Free" and "the American dream". Outdoor barbeque ovens for special family occasions, white picket fences, a swinging hammock, a trampoline, an old crickety treehouse built on an apple tree... All on a secluded floating island connected with the outside world only through radio and TV signals.

I'd post a new thread on this but I wanna get done with the idea before then..., then maybe polish this up beautifully.

Cyangmou, the more I see your stuff the more you impress me! You are one heck of an artist man!

Btw, I am trying to get better at drawing as well so can you guys link me to some very good anatomy, posture, etc tutorials? Someone sent me Glen Vilppu's videos but the quality is way too low to clearly see and understand anything. Also, I am aware of Proko but he seems to charge as well for complete tutorials.

More copy-catting. These chars are so well constructed it's painful.
Redrawing toons is great for analysis. I make lots of little discoveries along the way.
And watching as an advanced cartoonist's illustrations (though horribly distorted, to be honest) emerge from my own pencil is an interesting experience.

If you're looking to watch proko, try his youtube channel. The videos are shorter but they have the full lesson, his paid versions just have more examples and he does feedback. You can gleen his wonderful knowledge fine with just the youtube videos.

This is what I'm working on today:

field test without any references of my rib-cage constructing approach - with heads.
Seems to work aside for special cases like "7" where the sideplane isn't good visible
Also not sure wheter if it's better to go with the width like in 8, 9 and 10 (broad ones) or with the other approach from 4,5 and 6

It's often better to leave old stuff behind and forge ahead. Don't dwell. So, wise thinking, I'm sure.
That looks like a healthy sketch habit you've got going there.

@ tim   Great sense of melancholy in that. Lovely!

@ Atnas   Whoa, man. Some chaotic energy going on in that clown piece. That would look so cool printed at like 3' x 3'.

@ Grimsane   Hey Grims, glad you could join us.

@ Cyangmou   You're killin' me with those anat diagrams.

@ ||||   On your wine night lady painting, I really like the nose and mouth area. Too bad the whole thing didn't get that sort of attention to contour/shape. I know it's WIP.
On your sketch, I think you did achieve a decent vintage look. Reminds me of Audrey Hepburn or something.

Today a Glitch model from Starbound. I've been fighting with the weighting of the vertexes to make poses etc.

@tim The colors are very good on the face, it gives an atmospheric look to the picture. On a glance I thought it was a 3d render because of it. c:

@Mathias, you seem to be getting better. Tapering the fingertips gives a slightly creepy/alien-like vibe to the hand combined with missing pinky, consider whether that's what you want.
In the full-body picture the character looks a little bit dazed, it's a good idea to connect the iris/pupil to either the upper or lower lid (upper lid looks more natural) so they don't have a constant wide-eyed gaze. :O

Edit: Added an animation + fixed the textures + added an incandescence map.

foot construction, only knee is left, but I actually know quite well how that one looks, and maybe I should also look how Bammes actually simplified the bones of the fingers and toes.

@mathias Cheers ;D glad to be joining

btw Ymedron you can try Weights > assign automatic from bones, I find it works 9 times out of 10 without needing clean up especially on lower res meshes like this,
hope you don't mind but i reckon that model might look more spiffy with something more like these (http://i.imgur.com/9QCbytn.jpg) kinda proportions  c:
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ymedron on March 02, 2014, 07:04:51 pm
Grimsane: Yeah I did that at first, but it was too troublesome to fix around unweighting the rigid light gray parts (as they're supposed to be metallic and thus not move at all) so I just went manually weighting the edgeloops.
I had never done manual weighting before so it was a good learning experience.

Those proportions do seem better, I'll play around with the model a bit more.

@Ymedron: Hope you were using selection masks they are awesome in this regard, dunno how much you know so i'll elaborate anyway; selections in edit mode, are masks when selection masking is enabled in weight paint mode, then Ctrl+K will fill the selection with weight strength set to in the left panel (100% in this case) normalize will make sure that you don't have verts allocated to multiple bones.

Quote from: A2J2TIWARI
I am starting with gestures. Here are some 45 second gestures(shucks I couldn't complete any of them)
Suggestions: Use a softer pencil for those (5B) and do them on plain paper if you have any. Then, try to not copy contour but rather look for the long rhythms and limit yourself to 4 to 5 confident strokes per gesture (that's almost 10 seconds per stroke which should be enough). Then of course the most important thing, keep drawing. Do not stop after just a handful of gestures. Also check http://www.proko.com, he explains gesture drawing quite well even in the free versions of his videos.

Relax. :) Toons need love. Well yeah, I am struggling with them too. Funny thing is, back in school they came easy to me when I scribbled them in my books (even without construction) and nowadays I struggle with construction but that's in everything not just toons... maybe toons do not like being carefully constructed too much?

I dislike 3D models for live referencing purposes, since well... it's just a model. Maybe great to look at how the joints are actually working. For measuring out things and getting reference experience values I prefer real-life objects (photographs)

Well... and since I don't trust my anatomical drawing books, I just used my medical book for actually measuring out some jaw/teeth proportions which should help with the next round imagination drawing.

Was this by any chance inspired by this fight, 3 days before you drew this?  ;D

Yeah.. if that's in ref to me posting Dusty's pic from 2012.. I kinda just forgot 'til it had already been up for awhile. I just scanned a few of his pics, decided I liked it, and posted it (after asking of course).. then regretted it for that reason when I realized that the next day :/... So, sorry 'bout that.
I like your work today.. Rockets are cool!

I got another friend's sketch.. we drew in red chalk on huge newsprint earlier. I don't want to post mine cause it became a smudgy mess.. but his is cool I think. A 5-legged cerebus:

Mainly Deltoid, also moved then to Pectoralis and Trapezoid
In fact I don't have any idea how the peak of the Deltoid moves - seeems I have to look at it connected to the upper arm.
Maybe I should also check out all the muscle structures of the ribcage more detailled.

@Cyang : on the left portrait, the eyes looks very, very slightly misplaced. That may just be the pupils, but... It looks very slightly off? :(
The single ones are awesome though

Ellian: I like that. Her knees and face are most appealing to me.

well yeah, there are more smaller problems I have left to solve with the eyes.

Really like your piece ellian (no one dislikes B's anyways =)  .
But I agree with Surt that at least one foot could be illustrated just as dark shape - there would be space - "her" left hand looks really awkward too.

"her" left upper arm is to short or elbow wrong placed, breasts are different sized, neck don't corrects right with the head, side plane of the head is too small, minor stuff.

been rather engrossed in UE4 in my free time, got a license soon after announcement, and it's everything i had hoped, the shift in productivity and usability, and empowering non programmers more than any other tool available, dawned on me a lot of it is things i've loved about blender and blenders game engine but never really saw in anything else, it's mostly in here, not to mention a system akin to one i figured out on my own last year the same as the multiple layer materials, rather intuitive all around

it's pretty much a testy sketch sculpty thingy, and testing the engines features so posting it here  :P

Once I finish one more, I'll have all 13 done; a set of heraldic crests for my project.
This is the one I did today.

@Regulus Awesome: like the red in the second one, dislike the green as shadow color though. Maybe it should be tinted a bit more towards green-blue?
@Lijj: flow of the mermaid could be a bit stronger.

after being off with proportions by a lot I made another study, at least from the front, added some musculature on t he skeleton

body drawn by reference, head invented, at least the eyes are looking about in the same direction and look kinda decent. Anyways it's by far to small for all the necessary details, however it might take much longer until it's possible for me to draw them right and on top out of imagination.

Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Gil on April 09, 2014, 01:25:30 pm
Cyangmou, it seems like you have problems dividing different face types into facial planes. What worked for me, trying to figure it out, is studying exaggerated 3D wireframes. The way that 3D artists NEED to conservatively preserve facial planes makes them experts in the matter. The following image was wonderful for me:

http://i.imgur.com/TVeHC3d.gif

If I find some time, I'll dig up some reference sketches I did. Basically, try drawing the faces in the image, paying extra special attention to what is similar in all four and what is different and why. It seems to me like you understand the facial anatomy well, but have problems seeing how it deforms, so your construction is lacking. Your perception is fine, so the resulting image looks fine, but feels slightly off (because it's not volumetrically solid)

Values are mainly sketched in, no need for more detail or form shading. I think I found out what I wanted to know.

Mainly the especially sexualized drawings.
I'm ok with nude studies (there is a feeling of professional attitude there) but I'm feeling really uncomfortable when an image gives the vibes that it's done mainly because the artist finds it sexy, you know?

It's a hard distinction to make in text.

Eh, I get it; To be honest, I do draw those equally for the anatomical study and the fact that drawing sexy stuff is kinda, huh, cool, I guess. I'm not gonna try to explain it more because it feels like I'd just make myself sound like a pervert  ::)

I guess for me since I'm already kinda unhappy with sexy stuff that most of them make me a bit uncomfortable.

would have been cool to have a lateral photograph of the baby skeletons as well. Would have been really interesting to see how old those cuties got.

I think it'd look "better" either if the text was more natural, or if you used actual computer fonts rather than hand-written.
That's just my opinion, of course!

Love the second one, the background really makes it stand out.

Ellian, you're right about that. D: Text is bad times all around.
Maybe it'd look better if I had better handwriting, as well.

Much fabulousness with your characters there, liking the samurai's leg area and the kappa's body.

Especially loving Atnas' concept art. Looks unique enough to be interesting, but not so out there as to be off-putting. Very nice! =)

welcome back Lijj

covered some muscles, some more observation on teeth/jawbone relationships.
Also looked into the skull bones, after checking them out for the babies. Cranium needs to be deeper in both cases, skull construction otherwise seems to become more ok with every try.

That second skull with the eyelid muscles looks perfect. Thanks for welcoming me back Cyangmou.

actually it's quite off, what I think about it:
-the form of how the teeth shape the mandibula is really off (due to lack of knowledge, well I actually don't cheecked that out in detail until now)
-the size relationship of the horizontal and vertical part of the mandibula is also really off
-the cranium is by far to small

or to sum it up, the jaw is to big and round, the cranium to small which gives it a rather roundish and cute impression.
But it anyways gets better and more accurate with every new construction, since always a new observation is coming along and most of the relationships already coming just straight out of imagination, so I am getting somewhere.

Do you have some kind of contest going on with the fat man?

second layer of mouth musculature.
It's indeed interesting how complex something like the face can get compared to limbs.
At least it' really interesting to see the connection of the outside skin, the muscles and the bone beneath and how the lips can move around the way they do.

Bought a Sharpie brand brush tip pen at the office supply store; it's a cool pen :)

Thanks for the feedback on the font Ellian (and Mr. Farenheit again). Yeah, it wont be the dialogue/narration font. Just a fancy map font heheh.

 I'll update the old post with a new test including the updates later today.
Never got to editing last night. Instead I saw the documentary called 'Jodorowsky's Dune' last night at a theatre; good, inspirational yet tragic piece.

@Cyangmou: Your dedication is pretty inspiring. When I quit the programming game forever I hope I do as many studies as you.
@Pixelkh: I'm a pretty big fan of ink stuff. Keep it up!

PPD tried to get me to post here a long time ago. Told him I basically never drew. The last programming task I completed was aggravating. So I'm taking my first real break in a few months. I'm going through every other frame of a small clip of two videos. Left side of my sketchbook gets the girl. The right side is the guy.

Drawn from (nsfw: nudity) STIGMA (http://vimeo.com/51946189). Used with Kind permission.
Another reason I don't often post studies online is that I'm pretty crazy and tend to like to get photographer/whoever's permission unless it's implied. (Like art book copies, or one website I know that asked their most popular photographers who allowed it so I didn't have to ask directly.)

In any case, I got permission from the owners of both videos, so I guess I'll post some of my progress here. There's like two more pages of each done today, but no need to post all of it. You get the idea.

Edit: Heh, wow. I think this is the first art I've posted here of any kind? I do do pixel art too, but don't post it for some reason.

That second batch of hands is pretty damn amazing, Cyangmou...
Some of the nails look inconsistent though; on some fingers they're round, on some others they're more or less square-y?

Also lower-left is weird because of the way the index and middle fingers are hidden by the ring finger... damn you, observation drawings!

looks like a mixture out of tetris and dr. mario - wonder if it's as fun as those =) looks definitely interesting

well nails are hard to get right, was more focused on the consistent size of the fingers above
because I don't had much time today, just a half hour baby hand.

Actually, so far the gif shown above is a total and direct ripoff of a game called Puyo Puyo (Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine for westerners, I guess).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5RZXoUVKLM

(but obviously that's not my end goal here, yet I'm trying to get a game as polished as possible before I move on to the "original" game modes)



Also finished all those sprites, for said game modes:

well I plaed Mean Bean Machine a lot, but wouldn't have thought about that game, because for me it always was more an action based simplified pvp version of tetris.
I Really liked the character portraits and the sense of pressure the game build up, it was nice that it also could switch multiple times during a game.
MBM was for me all about really quick action filled rounds, while somehow tetris felt a lot more tactical to me.
So if you leave out the enemy and the pvp mechanics I am wondering if it will work from a gamedesigners point of view, because you decrease the level of challenge substantial.

Quick construction, gesture based on reference, forms always more on imagination the more left you go, was trying to repeat / check out various spots.

Hurray Mathias is back;
 he left with a great animation.
Though these angular objects.. I'd have to agree, are not his strong point.
Yet all the better reason to tackle them down now. The toons on the other-hand... dayum!

This thread is getting too good (daunting almost; how bad-ass it gets).

Been working on lots of things lately.. some to be shown soon (likely).

Recently, I made an R&B logo sample for a potential client; I should be working on that now, but I'm not getting any good ideas. Hopefully the person who requested it is as laid back as I am about it (1st design/ rough prototype):

(http://i.imgur.com/yXKjc5F.png)

Just getting a basic shape down with incomplete elements... kind of a mock-up.
I dislike them;  but they're based on what was asked for. At this point, with this initial visual, I hope we can move on and trigger more ideas.
The client wants it more realistic yet logo-like at the same time.

Is it meant to be viewed x2+ ? I love it but I find it hard to read on x1 (look who's talking...)
Also love your logos before, though they look too detailled for "logo" purpose imo; as an idea/mockup it's solid though

Might want to tweak some frame's delay a bit, though (mostly... slowing the first ones? I think?) to give it more punch?

Haha, if it makes it less disturbing, it was referenced from a slow-motion video of a water melon exploding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMjL76obRLI I later realized that it makes for a really good reference for gory explosions

I'll give that a try when I polish this up to stick into a portfolio or something.

Tumblr is a blogging site. It's like a forum, but only one person posts to it, and posts are ordered from newest to oldest.

Since it's a networking site, you can follow other blogs. On your dashboard, which is pretty much the home page of tumblr, for every blog you follow, there will be a list of posts from every blog you follow, also ordered from newest to oldest.

It's more casual and more personal than deviantART. Use it if you want people to basically have a live news feed of what you do, and I don't recommend use it to archive things into a gallery like you would with dA or PJ.

Fair warning though, Tumblr works weirdly with pixel art, particularly small resolution GIF's and anything with a bpp of 8 or lower. Partially due to scaling issues a part of web design to keep posted images consistently sized.

Well, what Pix3M said. :I
There's probably way better for an art galery, but they have that stupid nice thing of being able to scroll endlessly through the blog, so I always thought it was a nice way to see an artist's progress (backward, which is more fun in my opinion).


EDIT:
Alright, I'm taking a short break from Rogue Puzzle and spending the weekend on the Fuck This Jam jam, which is about making a game in a genre you hate.
I hate racing games... So here's that:

And I was like ... when will it happen... when will it happen (anticipation)
and at the end was such a beautiful image of snow angels.
Read the books, guess for the non-readers it was kinda disturbing. Although I will miss the actor(s ?), both did a fabulous job.

and some other parts are quite off in terms of perspective as well, especially the knuckle-plate.
It's hard for me to get the initial quick concept sketches, when I am initially exploring the form details right.
Maybe that's just how it is, maybe my skill level or the level of my imagination needs more care, as most things I do it's always getting better with the second drawing, means once the idea was already clearly nailed down -
For the pencil drawings on paper there is no quick copy paste resize shortcut (I love digital drawing for that aspect), but that's also a point why I am drawing with pencil and paper for practice purposes, because most lines are absolute once you drew them (except if I am really off I am using an eraser)

nice portrait, seems to be in line with your avatar =)

Well, it's not that bad; I think you progress a lot more by moving on than staying on the same drawing trying to make it perfect. When it comes to improving skills I think "quantity over quality" is more useful D:

Hi again, posting this before I decide it's crappy ;)

(http://i.imgur.com/d58lAiC.jpg)

20min or so 'platform' drawing. That is kind of a genre with me.. I like cliffs.

Trying to emulate Henk Nieborg's rock rendering. Kinda satisfied with it. Flirted a little with mottled/pockmarked rock, which he also likes to do, but not happy with that part.

Doing more lettering stuff these days, it's fun, infinitely varied, and trains your measurement accuracy and hand-eye coordination.

In the last 14 days, gestures. I have about 300 pages of them here, plus whatever portion happens to be done in digital. Sure as hell not gonna scan all that, but may post a progression montage of the most interesting ones.

@Ellian: Like your latest one, good gesture and rendering. I think the hip structure could benefit from a little elaboration

Ryumaru, that is really impressive!
How exactly do you do a "master study"? Say if I wanted to study the work of a specific artist because I like his technique or his colours (or some such). How would I go about doing a study without just blatantly copying what they do?

For example this guy from DeviantArt: Cushart (http://cushart.deviantart.com/). I love the colours he uses and the way he shades his pieces. I'd love to some how transfer that into my pixel art, but I have never even done art and I haven't the foggiest idea how or why his artwork looks like that. I also do not nearly have enough talent to mimic it, but I would really like to get to that point.
Other than the obvious point of practicing a lot and reading every tutorial ever, do you have any tips on how I might be able to recognise the facets of art that I like and why I like them, and then ideally how I could transfer that to my own work? I would be greatly appreciative if anyone could shove any stepping stones my way.

Cyangmou, you have made some really massive improvements in such a little time, I am utterly in awe. And so dedicated it is inspirational.

This thread is actually full of really good art.


Not to be off topic, I'll post what I was working on today:
(http://i.imgur.com/yNoewl8.gif)

I realise it is but a tiny sprite, but I've been trying to come up with a style for your average top-down RPG and creating assets that match one another (in colour, composition and viewing angle), but it is quite challenging. This piece is clearly not 100% completed, but it is in the general direction I would like to go.

How exactly do you do a "master study"? Say if I wanted to study the work of a specific artist because I like his technique or his colours (or some such). How would I go about doing a study without just blatantly copying what they do?

As far as I know, a master study is not different then just copying a given style someone painted in order to learn about how that certain person solved problems, simplified, used composition, color etc. The copying of the image isn't really the point if you are drawing, because you are rather trying to understand the underlying ideas.
However to understand the underlying ideas of a master or in general to understand what someone did, you need solid practical knowledge of art basics, to be able to see what's exactly going on in the masters painting.
The drawing/painting part is just for yourself to effectively check if you understood what you saw or to practice it with reference.

There is no right or wrong way to do a master study, it depends just on you want to learn. You literally could just roughly capture the shapes with crude blocks of carefully chosen colors, if you are interested in the color schemes. If you are interested in anatomical simplification you rather draw the figures carefully and if you are interested in something else you do that.

As far as I know there is no way to get better than the obvious way and working on your weak spots.
If you know some of your weak spots, you can effectively remove them one by one through aimed practice.

I would be greatly appreciative if anyone could shove any stepping stones my way.

The point IS to blatantly copy. The truest form of a master study is to do something at the same scale, with the same medium, and same technique as your chosen artist. Do not paint a Rembrandt, but BE Rembrandt. Of course, this is extremely difficult to do but is the highest form of master study. You then take what you absorbed by channeling that artist and bring it to your own work. You can also do master studies for a number of other reasons, such as learning their composition, color, treatment of values/ edges. You can do a master study in a medium you don't know to get the hang of it, or one you do know to excel in it.

The artist you posted is pretty advanced, and is doing some complex things, perhaps some that he's not even entirely conscious of. If you haven't taken your drawing to a decent level where you could feasibly copy his work, that would be the first step. Then you would want to analyze his color use, and do a copy of one of your favorites. Perhaps even 2 or more. As far as recognizing what you like about a work, know that in painting, this is what everything is composed of:

- Drawing
- Value
- Color
- Edges

Learn about these fundamental elements and how to separate them ( for example, all color has value, but sometimes you may not care for an artist's use of color, but the underlying values may be applied in a striking manner). This will help you identify what you like most about the artist and from there you can learn how to apply it.

Mr. Fahrenheit: Thanks!

Do not paint a Rembrandt, but BE Rembrandt. Of course, this is extremely difficult to do but is the highest form of master study.

Offtopic:
just curious how you want to be someone you never met and you just know pictures of. Work of that person(s workshop, or work labeled as their work) made for clients and not even the complete Opus is at your fingertips due to time and a lot of pieces got lost (at least if it comes to "old" masters)
At the end trying to be someone else just will always end up with yourself imagining something, at least as far as I understand.
YOu yourself Imagining and acting like some idealized/idolized view of someone.
is acting in in someone you don't know and you won't ever met and you don't have valid information about his personality truly the highest form of the master study?
I think it's possible to reproduce style and even to reproduce someones ideas to a certain degree. I don't think you will ever be able to really "be" someone. You just don't share the exact view of world and experiences as this person and you might miss key experiences which were important for the artist - conscious or inconscious.

Maybe I just misunderstood or misinterpreted what you wrote, but I am curious what's the big idea behind this. I know some actors actin gin certain characters, but that sounds to me like a completely a different story.
Quite late... uhm early here.

My verbiage was hyperbolic.


By " very difficult" I really meant impossible. Sometimes however, even if the goal is impossible, it is still the clearest aim. Depending on the artist, we can know what time they lived, what was going on around them, and perhaps get a sense of their personality and world view by letters they write and work they create.

But I didn't mean to that extent. More so, become the artist in the moment of your painting. For example, many artists seek the " secrets" of the old masters, yet they don't use flake white, make their own pigments, or paint exclusively by daylight. Of course, the more experienced someone is, the closer they can get to the essentials of a certain artist's work, despite not following things such as these. These are things that may seem trivial at first, but when they compound on each other they grow into a direction that differs greatly from the path of someone who makes no attempt to " become the artist". One could copy a painting by John Singer Sargent using glazing and multiple layers, making their brushstrokes invisible, taking reference from a digital image etc, but that is sub-optimal. If an artist uses loaded brushstrokes with a flat brush, standing an arms length away from the painting, it's in your best interest to do the same.

I merely meant "be the artist" in a technical, and to some extent, environment, manner (tools, process when known, color palette etc).

However, Master studies have many uses beyond this and this is definitely not the only way to do one- but I do think it is the most sincere way, and most useful in absorbing all qualities of an artist's work at once. If I have video tutorial confirmation that one artist uses painter, it's stupid of me to do a study from them in photoshop if some of the qualities I am after in their work may be due to the painter workflow. If I am after just color, just value, or just drawing however, I can really use any tool or medium to replicate those aspects in a more segmented way.

@Ryumaru really love that sketch, totally agree with the discussion on master studies, and picking up on intent, technique and trying to get into the artists' head can be useful thought experiment.

did a quick edit (http://i.imgur.com/pWS42mx.gif) The first thing i noticed even before comparing it to the original was the torso is too long, another thing that grabbed my attention was the shoulders of the woman, in frazetta's work even when they are subjugated, women tend to have strong round shoulders, dare I say it was one of his hallmarks, great work on the study, amazing subject matter.

I did a piece earlier this year heavily inspired by Frazetta, failed quite hard though in many ways, long way to go and all that. it did manage to convince someone it was traditionally done though, they thought it was pastels
(http://i.imgur.com/rZjeLFkl.jpg)

also regarding rembrandt :P did this (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OW1Ccfqwmcc/Uj80NNr7OLI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/lYwcCJcj6qM/s1600/rembrandt_study.jpg) master study last year, it was only a 4 hour study, but i learnt a lot, particularly using background contrast for silhouette emphasis

here's some recent stuff
early start on a bust

a snap of some matcaps i did the other day, in an evening just painting them in 2D i got up to about 80, just a handful

which turned into implementing it in unreal 4, and seems from a running conversation with Epic staff, going to be released into the marketplace to the community for free along side a blog post :)

Thanks a lot for the advice guys!

I think I will have to just do regular studies for now then until my digital painting is at an acceptable level. Then I can start considering a master study on a skilled artist.
I did notice that the last time I made a breakthrough in my digital painting it really helped my pixel art as well, so it is ultimately worth it.

In the meantime I continued with the daily task of making some art and made a little stone to go with my tuft of grass:
(http://i.imgur.com/fOHhrCr.gif)

The perspective is off, but I think I got the colour and style pretty close. Again not a polished piece, but I don't want to spend too much time on each bit until I have a mock-up going.
It takes me hours just to make these as it is after all.

(http://i.imgur.com/AjkZiUw.jpg)

another thing about master studies or studies in general is to do thumbnail studies, try to capture the composition, and colors by eyeballing it, if you do quite a few of these it can help with composition and your ability with colour. it will flow on to your other work. to some degree it's about training your eye, your abilities of observation.

I personally find doing a series of 20 minute speed studies during which you just try to observe and copy every aspect that your eye perceives, with painting constructing it as broadly as possible and working from big shapes to smaller shapes, and afterward having a short period of analysis, scrutinizing what you did compared to the source material.

you'll start to realize early on how you have to train your eyes to observe the subtle things.  Your mind tends to generalize things when you don't focus on them, becoming blatantly aware of the subtle relationships between things, intricacies, the subtleties of tone etc. and on larger scale pieces.   As you copy a specific effect you may not notice during,  but in retrospect you can have insights into the technique, and possibly realize that there are some really smart and specific techniques being employed to achieve certain things, and thus you end up adding it to your own palette

Thanks for the advice Grimsane!
As a thumbnail study, do you mean to literally take a reduced size version of a normal image and just try to shade it (the equivalent of using a massive brush I presume)? I'll give that a try.

For now more work on my tileset:
(http://i.imgur.com/Nm4kiTu.gif)

My thought process on this one:
Quote from: my brain
Hmm, what should I add to my tileset now? Maybe... a fence! Yes, I am so massively original with my ideas. I want my fence to look kind of like this. Yes a fence was a good idea, how did I come up with that?

*Pixelling ensues.*

Wait a second.
This looks strikingly familiar to the SNES game I played more than any other game ever!

*Google image search for 'Harvest Moon'*

Oh god damnit.
True story.
Added the Harvest Moon versions for each one.

Slightly different perspective to the other two, but I think this is where I want the perspective to be, so I'll change the grass and rock. I didn't get the style and colours quite right, but I am out of time today, so that is tomorrow's task.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Grimsane on July 03, 2014, 10:52:41 pm
Nice Kaneda rik  ;D

yeah that can work, but to clarify it doesn't really matter the resolution, just have the full reference image visible, if you have a larger canvas just zoom out of your canvas and just capture the broad strokes with a large brush, set a timer and try capturing as much as you can in the time, a technique is to gauge what the most utilized color in the piece is and lay that down as the base color, then build up the form and composition from there, never laser focus on any one area just work the entire thumbnail, once you lay in the basis and adjust it sufficiently then if you feel there is far more to capture and you have time half your brush size and do another pass. there are countless ways to do studies but i find that type of time focused session can help with your observation.   

Value studies would be taking a piece and desaturating it and then reproducing it with the same method strictly in greyscale so you don't overwhelm yourself with the colors, other exercises are less about the composition accuracy and values per say as it is about recreating the colors by eye alone.then you can always do some eyedropper comparison afterward to see how close you were, with paintings. if you haven't been acquainted with the science and art of light and colour you'll be surprised how relative colors really are, ie grey looking blue in a warm scene and conversely looking a dull warm orange in a cool scene.

I rather like yours better, I'd probably go more top down.
(http://i.imgur.com/sMVOyJs.png)

some more render tests, marmoset Toolbag, sub-dermis/heat maps for subsurface work well
(http://i.imgur.com/9zj0kgal.jpg)

(http://i.imgur.com/BhRZFdNl.jpg)

(http://i.imgur.com/1WbyPZil.jpg)


just did a quick 25 minute one to give an example.
(http://i.imgur.com/OSkpw4B.jpg)
a point to be made is to pick and choose what to concentrate on, even adapt, in this one i started with an A4 divided into 3, (so i could do 3 seperate studies on the same canvas), resulting in a more vertically compressed panel than the source image, I realized this, so i set a task to myself to compress the composition to this ratio, Also if any details of the source image are not to your taste or liking, or you take issue with it in some way, then you are free to just omit it, or if something like the deer is not important to the intent of your study then feel free to omit them too, just make sure that you are paying attention to the relationship of colors and values, warm and cool, light and shadow as you go :)

a while afterward you will start to notice the discrepancies easier. and if you wish polishing it further can be a worthwhile task. one of the big things about many artists that people forget is they use reference strongly and some artists take months to finish a piece. so you look at Frazetta's work and he had live models and photos, he did sketch sessions with models, and took photos in pose, and he'd take a long time on his paintings.

and artists took their lifetimes finding and honing their techniques, so learning from all that work and experience can be really potent.

progress every 8 minutes or so
(http://i.imgur.com/23MC2Kt.gif)
just a screenshot to clarify the configuration here (http://i.imgur.com/W5sUMzh.jpg). 33% zoom, but you get the idea of the screen space.

is it perfect? no far from it, but for 25 minutes you can be pleased enough for what you manage to accomplish, taking an hour or several hours you can go more in depth and study the details of a painting. but decide atleast vaguely what you want to capture and "study" whether it's predominantly color, or composition, or detailing/rendering techniques. and focus on that, this one was mostly about color and comp.

having two monitors with different gamuts doesn't help, I recently upgraded i now have 2 27" LCDs my latest an IPS (in plane shifting) the color on this one is fantastic :D the older monitor the ref was on not so much.

P.S i'm really tired so if any of this is inarticulate nonsense my apologies  :lol:

I stumbled across surt's sprite gen today and I was happily surprised to see it had an update with new features, color palettes etc.
It inspired me to make some random shapes designed to be mirrored and assembled as some kind of mandalas.

It's only at an early stage of experimentation, basically just doodles but I think it might get interesting.

I have lots of things to say and everything is pretty and well done, but I'm really tired so I'll leave that for tomorrow.
EDIT:
Thanks Grimsane for the description and example. I may just go with value studies for now, because I seem to struggle getting values correct.
Also thanks for the advice with the tileset stuff.

Updated tileset:
(http://i.imgur.com/CjJne7d.gif)
EDIT:
I made the rock bigger (for no reason) and changed the perspective. I might just make it smaller again, but I wanted the practice of changing the dimensions without losing the style.
Changed the bush/tuft's perspective. Very exciting.
Changed the fence's perspective, colours, and a bit of the style. It seems to fit better now. I may consider replacing it with just one post for when tiling becomes a thing, but I will cross that bridge when I get to it.
Left the Harvest Moon sprites in for no reason.

Tried that thing:
(http://i.imgur.com/phhPY4l.png)
EDIT:
Alright so this thing. I don't have dual screens (although I do have an IPS of course), so I had to alt-tab each time. This was dumb and made it very difficult. Next time I'll just stick the images next to each other like this prior to starting drawing.
As you can see, I suck at values (most notable on the left there. WTF was I doing with my eyes to miss that?) and my colour choice isn't much better. Also my choice of paintbrush (normally I just use the round brush because I couldn't be arsed).
Despite all that this was a valuable exercise and I learned a fair bit. Will continue to do these when ever I have the time.

Yes, I suck. I'll be better at life some other time.

Attempt while purposefully defocusing my eyes:

I feel like it came out a lot better. My main focus was on the mountains. I originally took a massive brush and just went over the image at something like 25% zoom while squinting, but that left a lot to be desired, so i zoomed back to 100%, shrunk my brush a bit and touched up the mountain ranges (and some on the clouds and trees, but that's not well done at all).

That is fine. I would limit yourself to 5 values. It makes you focus more on how a composition is created and it's shapes designed. Try doing more work with the lasso tool and getting a better attempt at reproducing the shapes you're seeing.
In this one you made the light hitting the edges of the mountain bright enough. They make up a small amount of the picture, but are very important in describing the lighting conditions of the scene.

Nice Character 32 :y:

Ambivorous, I took a stab at a value study from the ref you posted. I think you are quickly outgrowing the brush tool as your only means of mark making. Don't be afraid to use the lasso tool to better nail the shape. Value shape is what produces a likeness.

Also I should say your post 607 and 611 are good efforts. make more like those.

(http://i.imgur.com/ivydCzK.png)

I used soft brushes for gradients and such, but if you absolutely wanted to, you could still stick to flat colors. This technique can actually be used to produce a finished product with strongly designed abstract shapes and realistic rendering on top. You could push an image like this further with texture brushes etc for that finish.

I originally made this entire image with only the lasso and gradient tools. Then I went over it with a normal brush at 60% opacity. This was my first time ever doing this kind of thing, so you'll have to forgive me for this one.

My spacial replication seems to be seriously lacking, even zoomed out and with rough colours and my polishing process seems to lack any concept of value.
It's actually amazing just how bad my eyes are at seeing things.

It's pretty bad I think, but this is my first drawing where I actually tried to learn something instead of ugly doodles.

Thanks Psylent. Cool concept and fair enough with the spoilers.
These things really help. I actually decided to do a comparison thing today just to illustrate (to myself) the progress I've made.

Lark I meant forgive me for my lack of shapes and incorrect value use. The picture only looks prettier because of more colours and cheating on shapes, but the actual values are still wrong. Did a quick edit to show what I mean:

There you go.  :y:
I would also recommend a bit more scrutiny in your reference choice. Landscapes are great, but try and go more for ones that focus on shape and form over texture. Scenes like the close up sand and the previous landscape have too much of it to capture with flat colors in a short amount of time. You can still learn from these of course, but your studies may feel wanting when you have to omit large portions of them ( which was the right thing to do) and those sorts of references would be better when you start going after texture and indication.

Just so I'm not all talk and no show, here's the latest of the Frazetta study. Nearing the end of how far I'm going to take this one. a lot of little daily bits in one  :crazy:

Well, it's not any one thing. For quick studies like this, you want to avoid anything that cannot be easily categorized as one or a few masses, and/ or does not have a form interesting enough to warrant it's study, OR if to get an adequate likeness of it, it's rendering would take too long. Things like the shine on the granules of sand, and the haphazard shrubbery are examples of this. Depending on the lighting, pretty much anything can follow, or break these "rules", so it's just a case by case basis.

If you were to start using texture brushes, you would open up the things you can indicate in a short amount of time, but there's still a lot to learn without them.

Not too sure about the path, I think it looks a lot better without it, but what kind of village doesn't have a road to it. Story behind the image is that some sort of mounted warrior (coming soon) is returning home to his village but finds it burning, I know, #cliche

Since this is the Daily Sketch, I guess I'll start with a group of sketches I got done in a day.
Still got like 200 drawings left of these (http://wayofthepixel.net/index.php?topic=16253.msg150742#msg150742) to do... Could get it done in a night if I had a night.
Turns out this was true! I decided I wanted these done before I left to see family briefly, so I could finally use my sketchbook for something else. I did the following 40 pages the day before I left:
(http://i.imgur.com/av0hAhc.gif)

And I'll link the animated result of the compilation of the frames, because together they're around 7 MB  ;)

Does anyone know any good pixel art studies to do? Given how effective this study is, I'd love to start doing some.
I used to think I was getting the hang of this pixel art thing, but now I can see that I didn't actually understand a lot of it, I was just getting better at copying others (coming up with new, original stuff I find tricky).

This is a sketch thread and should emphasizes just the fun part of drawing and the fact that people posting here actually draw something.
The purpose of a sketch is neither to to be great nor to be fully detailled.
I guess nobody here will offend anyone because of his/her sketches.

left ones out of mind, right ones for going more in depth about where the differences of female/male faces are.

A lot of growth in your value studies. You still make things a tad too light, check the top of the sky gradient in the photo and in your study.
Also, if you're going to do gradients now, you should also include edge control. No more brushy edges; if something is hard edged or soft edged, make it that way. I'm looking at the trees, their shadow, and the horizon specifically( good treatment of the clouds). Use the lasso tool to make the process easier.

Honestly, it's a good idea.
I've taken a break from game making about 3 weeks ago due to a post-game jam burnout, and I'm having trouble getting back to it.
Also, make a devblog, so you can post something everyday, it helps, because you have an audience to show something to, it's not just you. It's easier to bail out if the only person waiting to see what you're doing is, well, yourself.

Yep Ellian, I've been thinking about starting a devblog but I just haven't gotten around to it. If people are interested in it, I'll throw one together soon.


Character 3 out of 5- Fear/Air.
Prolly gonna redo the last one before I move on. This one's palette may need a rework... the contrast is pretty low. I suck at making palletes.

Taking a break from characters.

This is kind of a pickup, well sort of. Its part of the core mechanic. Its called a catalyst. Eventually I'll animate it so that it cycles through the four elements (fire, water, earth, wind). For now I just have fire done.

Fire is hard and I clearly have no idea what I'm doing.

Day 8.

Any ideas for how to do earth? I would like to do the same kind of swirl thing I've been doing, but dirt and rock obviously don't flow like the water, wind, and fire do. I was thinking about about doing vines growing up over it, but I'm really going more for the dirt/rock side of earth.... the earth part of the game has a "meaninglessness" theme.

That looks really cool, Psylent. I especially like water so far.
I guess you could try having rocks erupt upwards, sort of like the way Edward uses the ground in fullmetal alchemist?

Cyan that horse stuff is really useful! Saved it to my drive so I'll have it when I need it.

Really smooth animation, wolf.

Don't know how exact it is, not really far with reading through the whole bunch of things available and not 100% sure if my sources are completely thrustworty.
What's noted there might be outdated tomorrow - it's my own stand of knowledge and if I think of horses, there is not a lot I know so far.
So if you want to use it, keep that in mind.

Good progress and dedication with the value studies.  :y: On the ball, you should make it so that it slows down when nearing the crest of the jump, and then speeds up as it nears the ground. As opposed to it being the same speed the whole time, as it appears to be now. Looks good though, I like the squash. :)

But yea, I finally finished it. :)
52 frames total... probably a bit excessive, but its technically 4 animations in one, so I guess 13 frames each isn't so bad.

Hopefully I'll be able to convert my value studies into normal thumbnail studies now!
I am significantly satisfied with the progress I have made (in only a month no less). Truly daily studies are the best way to learn.

Mm I see, Psylent; looking back I really could have made quite a difference with more carefully placed frames on that animation.
I should do more of them (animations).

At least it made my art brain work a bit.


The reason for this is combined with why I will probably not be posting anything for the next three weeks or so. I'm going to Europe for a holiday tomorrow to spend all my money! Yay!
Taking my sketch pad with though, so I'll keep up with those at least.

Keep up the good work. See you in a few weeks.

By the way, I've decided for the time being that Wednesday will be my day off so I don't get burnt out on this and keep having fun with this, which is after all the goal for me. So far having a goal of doing one small thing a day has inspired me to be more productive in the past couple of weeks than I ever have with this project. Though that's not saying much. :P

Today, I downsized the health icon from 64 x 64 to 32 x 32 and cleaned it up, so now its not as big as the character. lol.

Also made a quick credit card thing. The player will be able to load it with Purple Points at the carnival, much like the Silver Points in the fair on Chrono Trigger. For those of you who haven't played that, basically its just for fun bs things like carnival games or what have you rather than actual items to progress in the game, like weapons. I decided to make it a separate item that will go in the inventory rather than a money counter in the HUD, since this currency is useless outside the carnival.

I drew this today. It took about two hours hand drawing using a font I found online as a reference. I was going for a circus flyer font, but I'm afraid it looks too much like a Western font.

Its for social media outlets (which I'm in the process of setting up), the dev blog I started on this forum today, and the start of the game.

Possibly? (Disclaimer: I've never played Portal, the piece is based off of what the friend described to me, so feel free to tell me if I'm wrong.)
From what I understood, GLaDOS is a computer in-game and doesn't really have an established human form, but some parts of the Portal fandom like to depict an alternate universe where GLaDOS is human or has an android body, for shipping and fanart purposes. And in those communities, she usually has white hair and clothes. Whereas in-game Chell's the brunette with the tank top and orange pants.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ellian on August 12, 2014, 08:57:18 pm
In Portal 2, you visit a part of the lab that is from the early 1900s, and learn that GladOS is more or less an human put into a computer, that human being the one portrayed above, Caroline. I can't remember if the game actually confirms it, but it's so obvious that it has to be canon.

Cyangmou: Nice traditional study sketches all around, all the way back to when you started posting them here earlier this year :y:
They inspired me into getting a bit into drawing traditionally from reference as well. There's a special charm to it :)
Maybe I'll post some of it here, even though it's spread out throughout the last few months.

Ellian: Cool pixel fanart of one of the more experimentally successful games of the series (which I got back then, as a kid, only because it was on a golden cartridge :lol:)
I enjoy how you emulate the heavy shading used in the official art for the game. ;D
Did the Poe Collector also make an appearance in Majora's? In any case, I wanted to point out that the highlight makes it look like an Olimar nose, instead of... whatever it was supposed to be (neck stump?).

Just post the new stuff if you do some drawing. After all the thread here is rather for actual practice sketches and not solely intended for finished work - alhough if you post finished work, it's also fine.
Obervational drawing and sketching is for me the solid foundation of my art and my understanding of the subjects I draw.

guess it shows off that the initial image was done as perspective group drawing with applied depth through coloring Tijo brighter and making the piano guy darker because of the overall shading style

where there is a lot of space to improve is actual weight, flow and proportion which is imo solved really well in the original art
roughed it out myself with the size you used.

Yeah, I didn't realize Evan was a regularly colored zora (he's actually blue in the game) because of that artwork.
Also I have this very bad/stupid tendency to mess up with perspectives because my brain goes all "2D GAME SPRITE MODE ENGAGED" and remove all perspective so the characters can stand on a flat plane. Oh well.

Love your edit, it makes blue backlights a lot easier to add. I should try to make some outlineless art some day. And the pose is a LOT better... ugh. Stop making me want to remake it all.  :blind:

I worked a lot on the face, did some sketching and a final higher res lineart to get the proportions nailed down in an exact way to serve as a solid base.

Interesting how you're building it up in layers.. Are you using a light table by chance Cyangmou?

Something kinda old.. I was going to use it for a border for a couple character designs but scrapped it due to it looking too traditional while the characters were much more digital looking. Plus I thought the design was weak overall.. The only thing I do like is the pillar and bust:

That's quite a weird effect. I can see you used EGA palette, but for some reason.. When I look at it, it feels like it's a mix of square pixels (pink bars and girders, crates, grass), wide pixels (brown ladders/grey chunks/), and tall pixels (the blue wavy tube? things and the red ladders). Really difficult to describe.
This is not a criticism exactly, it just seems to surprise the part of my brain that tries to predict what I'll see next.

Read about Van Gogh's life on Wikipedia yesterday (Seth MacFarlane conned poor uncultured me into believing he had gifted his ear to a girl :mean: ).
He led a sad, lonely life despite giving so much to art. :(

I played with one Pirange 5 High palette a little bit (from a very useful image with a collage of palettes I'm sure has been posted many times in this forum). Undecided on the girl's hairstyle/brows.

This time I misuse a different palette!

The little thing to the left is an unfinished attempt at a tilable palm tree, but can be misconstrued into something else :blind:
Actually went and continued the palm tree for a little bit (it was that bad :lol:)

I didn't do anything yesterday or the day before, so I just forced myself to throw together something to get the ball rolling again. It's embarrassing, please don't look.

Yesterday's stuff.
The two pictured 'Pirange' palettes would be good for some Giger-esque/elaborate monochrome style stuff.
(Although I'm still a little uncomfortable working with low-saturation :lol:)
The 'scene' is supposed to take place in an idealized American south (wheat field). Still 4x4 tiles, to leave room for further detailing if I decide to.
I also made a lil' knight. :)

Made this over the past 2 days for a contest to win a new laptop (which probably isn't worth it but I figured it would be good practice)

Hey guys, its been a while. Progress has been slow since my first "test week", and I'm afraid the second test week will kill it off completely, so I'm trying to get my project started again in earnest.

Here's a WIP of my background. The rollercoaster is upper layer of the background. The left part is obviously unfinished. The part spiraling into the distance feels weird.

The mid player of the background will be hills or something simple. The furthest layer will be the sky/sun.

Ugh I'm always overdoing it with AA, huh?  :(
As for internal outlines (wait, that doesn't make any sense XD) I try to only use them when I need to show a real separation and break it with lighter colors when not (kinda like the cap in my current avatar) but sometimes I just forgot / am lazy / make poor choices.  :yell:

Ah, I didn't mean for you to have to defend how you do things in a casual thread :-X; just having seen a bunch of your stuff at once, seemed like things you might have been doing out of habit, unnecessarily.
 
I meant the AA seemed so low contrast as not to be that useful really; which I guess would encourage extra too.

Some people casually mentions trying to sell games to China, then next thing I know, I'm constantly researching modern Chinese culture to get a much better idea of how it exactly takes to be successful in a Chinese market, at least compared to the usual local market we all know well enough. No doubt is gonna be important for me to get familiarized with "my" culture.

Also decided to do some costume studies, and especially compare depictions not from Asia, other Asian countries, and depictions from the Chinese themselves. I got a looot more to do, hoping I keep up with this  :ouch:

Trying to break down Hiroshi Fujioka to its most basic recognizable shapes as Segata Sanshiro so I can try and draw a Sanshiro that doesnt necessarily look like Fujioka but is recognizably Sanshiro.

@Ellian- that looks utterly amazing and I'm envious of your knack for animating small sprites. Oh my god, the pants when she jumps, so good.

Reanimated the walk- I prefer this, more fluid. Still some wonky bits though.

And this... I'm divided here. The idea is that this is after Shinobi World, so Alex kept some Ninja stylings. My first reaction to this run though was "eh not working I'll do one with less frames and lots of motion blur".
Looking at it again though, I'm starting to find it charmingly goofy. What do you guys think?

More costume studies, grabbed a propaganda depiction of the Chinese before the boxer rebellion, clothes that people wore during the Tiananmen protests, and a tvtropes cover example of a Japanese stereotypical depiction of a Chinese girl.

Anyone know a picture of a real-life Chinese girl with the Japanese-origin stereotype of 'odango hair'?

Now I'm curious. I reverse searched this and the image was related to a Bun festival in Hong Kong, not the hairstyle, but the food 'bun'.  The background also makes me curious as I wasn't sure if that festival was in China proper as some people don't look ethnic Chinese  :-\

Attempting to search in Chinese got me interesting results. My only leads where that it was called 'Ox horns' in Chinese, but no sources provided me the actual chinese words for them, so I took a shot in the dark and looked up the characters for the individual words in a dictionary, got "牛角发型“, which got me pretty close to what I think I'm looking for.

They don't look anything like how the Japanese draw them, but I'll trust that they're called ox horns from what little text I'm able to read, some of these are very literal too  :lol:

I should attempt searches in foreign languages more often to get results different from what English-language searches usually give me
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: API-Beast on November 19, 2014, 01:46:56 am
Searching for "Odango", "Odango Buns" or "Double Buns" gives plenty results  (not chinese girls though). Most look absolutely hideous with them though.

Japanese... the term seems to be "お団子二つ" there, or at least I get good results with that on Google.

Wikipedia says "Chinese paintings of children have frequently depicted girls as having matching ox horns, while boys have a single bun in the back.", so I think the depiction comes from that and is supposed to show a certain element of innocence.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Pix3M on November 20, 2014, 09:26:54 am
I was looking at a movie named 大明劫 (i.e. "Fall of Ming"), and I think I have a good feel for what Chinese interiors look like.

Also realized that the odango hair stereotype partially came from the 14-17th century. People back then over there wore cloth wrapped on top of the hair buns, though most of them had only one bun. The practice may or may not have been made illegal in the next Qing dynasty so it might be only a renaissance-period thing. I found this kid though, has what I'm also looking for, which I'll trust is a historically accurate example
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83822168/oxhornhair.PNG)

Anyways, I made another study absorbing what I can from the movie. I'll trust that it's acceptably accurate if it is made by and for a Chinese audience with reasonable expectation that it makes sense to them

Miiverse is just awesome. I don't even remember the last time I've been drawing this much as I did since I got the Wuu for birthday.
Those small pics are also great for coloring afterwards
Though it helps that I use a normal sized Wacom stylus instead the one inside the gamepad to avoid handcramps. It already served me well with ColorsDS back then

Well, I posted the actual sprite animated a couple pages ago!

But as for this specific gif... I just threw in the sprite into Zack Bell's engine. It didn't feel like I'd done anything new since it was just importing the spritesheets into the engine... So I dunno! I was just checking everything was working properly, it's so unfinished and lazily thrown into game maker that it didn't even cross my mind to post this here. Sorry.  :-[

Oh, and because of various personal problem/stuff this is kind of... on hold now I guess.  :yell:

Me and Probo were talking about it a bit.
And wanted to suggest the neck of the guy would be closer to the viewer than the bottom of the jaw.
It's an inner connection like a tube meeting a bigger tube from underneath.
Making it overlap in front.

Coincidentally I was missing the exact same type of wrap around form in my sketch, and we were talking about that as well just a few hours earlier.
I think this type of intersection is easy to miss in 2D.
Something that I want to try and pay attention to more.
But I don't think it's something I can catch every time on the first few passes.

I did something for this week's compixellated challenge (http://compixellated.tumblr.com/post/104627373250/challenge-65-december-07-2014).
Design is a bit weird but... I dunno. It was fun to play around with the water and cables.

Dyluckk, the pigtails are 400% more powerful than in the concept :crazy:

PixelPiledriver, I see a witch offering a green apple to some kid. It took me time to see that it's not vertically symmetric :o

Ellian, that's just rich ::)

PsylentKinght, I finally get to see some more of that clown! First time I saw him was a while ago :lol: since you started working on other parts of your game and such ::)

Let's see if I can sit down to sketch for an hour a day, since my semester is almost over :P...

FYI, the body/head bouncing up and down should usually be two bounces rather than one in the loop, high points when the legs pass each other, and low points when the legs are furthest apart.

You've given him a sort of pronounced comical limp (which I agree does look fun).

@YellowLime:
Yea, I've been moving pretty slow. I mostly got hung up on that background, lost steam and then abandoned the project for a while since I got busy with classes.

I like your colors for your sketches.  :y:

@Dyliuckk:
That girl brought her pigtail A-game.  :lol: Interested to see the run animation, could end up with some pretty cool results with those pigtails.

@winkatawink: Nice squash and stretch. That's something I often fail at in my animations and they seem kind of lifeless as a result.



3/4 NPC idle animations complete. Note that these idle animations won't play in a constant loop, they'll be played every few seconds with the characters just sitting there in the intervals.

I didn't notice that her boob is twitching. lol. I fixed that.



Today's animation. I was pretty lazy with this one, but whatever. Probably going to work more on it, or completely redo it. Not much a fan of the idea in general. I'm trying to convey that he's an angry person with his idle animation... he's supposed to be throwing a temper tantrum. I wish I could think of something more memorable for him. He's my least favorite and least memorable character anyway.

I'm coding something hopefully simple on javascript to learn javascript better. working out what the game might look like now. Should be an idle game, goal is to create as many classes possible, within reason, that would look impossible to balance. However balance is cleverly forced by engineering monsters that are at a constant difficulty no matter what stats are given. Inspired by a Ludum Dare game that complained that they had a hard time with balancing... then I had an idea that would prevent any balancing issues and wanna put this idea to the test and learn javascript  :)

sure, have to join in if everyone posts girls.
I simply haven't scanned most of the stuff I did practise wise the last months.
If I would scan everything i produce I would need an additional hour every day just fo rthat.
If I would just scan the stuff which doesn't wander to the wastebin right away, it would still be hell a lot of work.

evidence:
a 7 cm pile of all physical practice drawings just from 2014 which haven't found the way to the wastebin immediately.
Guess I don't want to see what I produced if I count in the digital stuff and think of the pile which reached the wastebin.
 
I definitely have to sort that stuff out and store it somewhere else that I have space for 2015's practice stuff -.-
or just pack the whole thing together and make a nice fire...  :crazy:

Post by: RAV on January 03, 2015, 06:08:10 pm
I felt that in my last shot, the house actually was sort of... uncanny compared to the GBA version. A new sort of uncanny introduced by a dynamic perspective. It would seem, if a design is too simplified it can feel uncanny when viewed too close. Every sort of detail has its ideal distance. Apparently the brain has basic expectations on detail to distance. When viewed from afar, it accepts less detail and even unrealistic detail, in the assumption there is more detail and more correct detail when going closer. You might even say, it's about managing a suspense of disbelieve in the detail/distance.

Conversely, too much cramped detail far away may be uncanny as well, but first looks just too busy/noisy to be of any other concern.

Normally, this is less of a problem in pixelart, since the artist has absolute and final control on the perspective, and plans the design fit accordingly from inception.
As well as there have been developed accepted norms of designs for certain scenes.

That too is the reason why a well made dynamic level of detail system is important the more dynamic the view on the scene is, aesthetically as much as for performance concerns.

The following scene overview is more akin to the GBA sample that the house was designed for, with a bigger shop sign above door accordingly:
(http://www.tidesofblood.com/download/file.php?id=513)



Hrrrrm, but I'm not quite so sure yet. Maybe it's the different iso angle on the scene compared to the classic oblique perspective. Or the different colours. Or resolution. Or maybe the contrasting detail of the unfinished surroundings messes with my senses. or is it an imbalance of detail between rooftop and lower stage of house? Is something amiss?

Your senses are more refined, does it look strange to you? or fine? for what it is? Does it look just like a soulless render, or does the simple design maintain its charm in translation?



So basically, I wonder if these designs/forms/abstractions and graphical "tropes" that worked for GBA kinda games are mostly tied to their exact conditions of implementation, like resolution and perspective, and the moment you go beyond these conditions it looks sorta stupid? Does it? How big is a need for entirely new standards of design in this new medium to start with, or do the old standards suffice? slightly revised? These are the questions weighing heavily on my mind.



Well, it's prolly fine for what it is, looks fun enough. I'm making up weird esoteric problems just so I don't have to face the real problems of my work. way to procrastinate. ;p

Honestly, nothing bothered me at all in the previous version. Maybe you could have fiddled a bit with FOV if you thought something was wrong, but it looked totally good to me...
I like the bigger sign, though.
And the ground is kinda meh compared to the cute detailled house  :lol:

Alright, Elian, I take your word for it. =) If it doesn't bother someone like you, it can't be that bad.

It's a goal of the project to enable an aesthetics different than being or looking low-poly or very blocky.
So whenever it's not showing that technical effort obviously, I kinda tend to somehow explain why that's bad, when there's really nothing bad about that.

Simplified designs are a fun part of the game like it always has been to pixel art itself, so that's how it can end up geometrically, more or less directly translated.
But I want to see all sorts of designs and scene complexity explored eventually. Even your latest piece has quite a higher requirement when interpreted fully 3d.

P.S. I guess the crappy unfinished terrain really made the house shine, huh. lol

And it does look low-poly/blocky, but the way the doors and sign are slightly "popping out" breaks that a bit.
But yeah, it just look simple, clean and cool to me. :)

Seriously; I love monsters, and I especially love half-human half-animal monsters; You want to make it interesting? Don't make a Horse Centaur, make a Giraffe centaur, an Antelope centau, a gnu centaur. Don't make a mermaid, make an octomaid, a scorpion fishmaid, a starfishmaid. Don't make a regular harpy, make an owl harpy, a colibri harpy, a... you get the idea.

So yeah anyway, make it interesting by looking deeper into the centaur concept. :)

Not sure about the anticipation in the beginning.

Try reversing his windup so that it looks like he is building up resistance. Winding-up in the same direction he is going to swing kind of make sense, but not if he stops before actually swinging. I think it will be way better.

Alternatively I suppose you could keep it the way he is but go straight from the windup in place to the actual attack without the pause. It would be an improvement on what you have but a very different effect then what I think you were going for.

Pix3M: It looks like he's just striking a pose before he attacks. Considering the type of rpg it looks like I think that's fine,
It's like an indicator that the char does before each attack to let you know which party members' turn is up.

@yaomon: I'm really like your BOI remakes... my gf got me that game for me for Christmas, and while I really enjoy it I'm very unimpressed by the graphics. They're very flat and I especially hate the thick black outlines. Your remakes are a vast improvement.

@PsylentKnight  For me first version looks much better then second one. It looks more like boss, like bubble will burst in any second and creepy spiders legs will show up. Second one is just unappealing, at first sight you can't even determine what it is.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: PsylentKnight on January 13, 2015, 12:43:51 am
@HarveyDent

Yea I agree, while its much closer to the style of the rest of the characters and its generally better quality, its just not arranged that well and the pose doesn't convey what I want to at all. She's supposed look old and tired. As for her looking like a boss: as I noted in my post, she will look more like a boss as her egg sac grows and her body is dwarfed in comparison to it.

Funny that you say you can't tell what the new version is at first glance... people said that about the original when I posted it on reddit and I thought I did better on that this time.

EDIT: Ok I think this is a vast improvement

@PsylentKnight Maybe first was a bit clearer at first sight because of the animation. I definitely think that because this is important part of your game, design needs to be clear and effective. I still don't know what this mother should be, spider or something else? This is Daily sketch tread so I think we shouldn't spam it.

I don't.
Looked around in the help file and menus and couldn't find a way to do it. :blind:

This isn't really a solution but:
I highly recommend using the spacebar popup menu.
Just delete all the shit that you don't use much and then add tools and actions that you use frequently.

The default looks like this:

Ugh, I'm so busy with work, freelance stuff and preparing to move out that I have no time to post here... so have some animations for one of the freelance project I'm working on :(

You are doing great stuff with the eyes and facial expression that really add to the animations.

Idle: A very slow and minor rustle to the cape might add a bit of movement to the rest of the sprite.

Crouch/Grab: Looks good. I will note that in other previews I have seen, that the pull animation that I suppose follows this I am not a fan off. Bending all the way over to pull is just physical very difficult and doesn't provide good leverage, and the animation look awkward.

Run: Animates well and I like the movement of the cape, hair, and glasses. She just don't look to be going very fast and is kind of skipping rather than running. If it is just a walk animation then it will probably work fine.

Roll: So if this is actually two animations, one for face planting (tripping) and the other for getting up after being knocked on her back, then they look great. If it is supposed to be a full roll animations, then it looks really awkward. She needs to be tucking her head in and scrunching into a ball if she wants to roll.

Jump: Amazing, spot on. Excellent use of stretching in your animation with the cape. Also nice details like the cape fluttering and her squinting one eye as if she is moving quickly. It adds a lot to the animation.

Attack Fall: From her stance and facial expression I'm guessing she is supposed to be holding a weapon as she is falling to attack. Looks good.

Fall: So you utilized the stretch well, but you need to use a bit more squash to really sell this animation. Often the stretching and squashing exaggerates proportions briefly, but instead you have this awesome cape to take advantage of. The cape should flair out more at the peak of her jump, but even more so when she lands she should crouch a little more and flair out the cape a good bit. I think you could do this without adding extending the animation so you still maintain really responsive controls.

Bow: I really like this animation. The bow pops in rather abruptly and could use an extra frame of reveal. This would slow down the attack animation a bit, but maybe that would actually be desirable from a gameplay perspective.

Not Featured:
Rope Climbing: I know Mega Man has established the tradition of looking at your character from the back while climbing, but I think with a rope Crown might look cool facing forward as she climbs up. Might be worth experimenting with.

Push: It might just be a wip animation in Zack's previews, but I feel like Crown needs to be leaning into the object a bit more. Again there needs to be some squash, and probably some stretch would help the pull animation.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ellian on January 18, 2015, 11:42:18 pm
Alright, I'm pretty sure at this point it would be a good idea to create a thread for posting the stuff I do, get feedbacks and hopefully improve the general quality of the game.
I'll have to discuss this with Zack I guess, but in the meantime:

- Idle; I'm actually going to make a bunch more idle animations, some of which will include a rustle to the cape. I want them to be rotated randomly. so it's not just "eyh I stopped so of course my cloak is gloating in the air".

- Pull (not shown above): Yeaaah I think I'm gonna go back to this one later, hopefully near the end of the project, but I wanted to make it look like she's having a hard time. Pulling a big block without any handle isn't easy anyway, so I kinda like the idea, but the actual execution of that animation isn't the best.

- Run: That's actually a fast walk, yeah, I'm gonna work on a running animation where she's leaning forward later on.

- Roll: The one show above is a single animation. I'm not too fond of it because... well, as you said she's not "ball-y" enough.

- Attack fall: It's actually a wall slide. :)

- Bow: Right; but that's actually a gameplay problem; for now we want that as soon the player press the key, the arrow is shot, so we can't have pre-shot frames. (actually, I do have some, but I'm not gonna use them) Technically it's even worst than what you see above, the first frame of the actual animation is the one where the arrow is already shot. We're considering having a charged shot as well, and if we do so I'll add more pre-shot frames.

- Rope climbing: That's... an interesting idea, actually. The fact that she's showing her back is because the animation share a lot of stuff with the ladder climbing animation... so yeah I just went with a classic look. Technically if the rope physic wasn't so touchy programming wise, I'd use something like that because it's way cooler:
(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2015/018/c/e/spearlady_by_thisisellian-d8egexd.png)

- Push: You're right, now that I look at it again, a good squash when she push toward the block would look great. Thanks. <3


Anyway, this is getting kinda lenghtly, I'll see if I can create a thread to discuss this further.
Thanks for the feedbacks anyway <3

Those are not the usual portraits one would draw, but rather it's like that I am drawing the base of the skull, try to get this one right just by observation (because the minor proportions of the skull change quite a lot) and I am considering then every muscle before I draw it in.
To add some difficulty I tried with the later ones to get close to the actual people and I also used an increasing difficulty with stronger facial expressions.
This method leads to some quite interesting observations.

looks great, Cyangmou :) out of curiosity, how do you choose what to draw? you went from humans to horses, then humans, and now dinosaurs.

did a few anatomy studies today based on photo references; spent the most time on this one (30min I think?):

I am studying the design of the things I like. Last year I also did some armor, architectural and machine studies.
While humans are important for multiple easy explainable reasons, the other things have to do with personal preferences and interests.

btw: IMO the abdomen wouldn't ever have a sharp square edge there were you drew one in. If it's exactly like that in the photo I'd be really curious to see your reference.

Funny that I'm doing more on this project now that the semester has started than I did during Christmas break. I intended to get a lot done then but I did absolutely nothing, mostly due to the fact that my sister got me a $20 steam card for Christmas and so I bought like 1000 games during the winter sale.

Some notes from the book by Michael Hampton. I'm tired of my ignorance of structure, so this is what I'll be studying for now.

And does anyone know where I can find decent pictures of actual skeletons? Tried Google and DeviantArt, it's like they don't even exist. I'm looking for some in standard anatomical poses, but not models—actual skeletons. There's so many discrepancies between all my anatomy books I just want to see it for myself, and make my own judgement.

@ PPD: Spiky ?spider? is a neat design. Might feel more aggressive if you lift up and foreshorten the outer pair of legs (so he's posing like a boxer - tight stance).
I notice most stuff you post is pretty low res. Do you have any comment on the value of higher res stuff (disregarding whether it is pixelled or not)?

Personally I understand that condensation and simplification are skills naturally learnt from working small /low res. I usually get the impression there is some unique conceptual* benefit to working quite high res, but find it hard to say exactly what (except that it has some relation to the expansive feeling I get standing in a large uncluttered room)

* that is, a benefit that effects your thought processes, rather than technical benefits such as 'more area -> the impact of small inaccuracies is reduced'


Today, I came back to a periodic project of mine: constructing a tileset that will allow me to use Tiled to quickly throw designs and measurements together from standardized-unit-sized building blocks.

(http://i.imgur.com/FixDeoJ.gif)
(188 unique 4x4 tiles; Tiled (http://www.mapeditor.org) makes it easy to grab chunks of tiles, so I used the 4x4 base size to construct any tile size divisible by 4 -- 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 ..)

I was planning on, once I have the base tileset, generate 16 recolored versions using DB16 palette, loading them as separate tilesets.

Just like previous iterations, the main struggle is to organize them effectively, My current thoughts (only partially carried out in the image) a) have a base 'block' size (12x12) b) include enough space on all sides to allow 8 other 12x12 blocks to be located around it, with single-tile padding, and c) any tileable patterns should be shown repeating at least once (both for visualization and easier application on large areas).

I'm not sure how to respond without getting really generic.
No worries.
We can grind thru some thoughts about it, that could be fun.
But you'll have to provide specifics.

I struggle to work larger though (it's weirdly intimidating sometimes), and looking at your stuff, I started to wonder if you also struggled with that, or had any insight into it...
I can definitely answer this tho:
No need to wonder.
I find any art I do to ALWAYS be a struggle.  :blind:

@PPD I think that's actually C64 charmode (no great difference, except that non-alphanumeric characters won't necessarily be ASCII characters, since they can be redefined).

@Dennis I haven't attempted to break down tile usage, but I feel that the primary 3 eyes could stand to be a lot more round and protuberant, even at the expense of other details, if possible -- they are one of the most emphasized parts in the design of Tachikoma, that give them most of their personality. If you look at some clips, you can see the way they roll their eyes (this is more literal 'eye rolling' than for people) adds a lot of expressiveness. It's kind of funny how well that club character works for the pupils, I would not have guessed that would work.

@PPD

Personally I agree that art is always a struggle, I was attempting to express that it seems much more so for larger pieces. One reason, I think, is something I've noticed recently -- If I don't place the object / canvas I'm observing directly in the centre of my FOV, my observations of it's proportions can get hilariously out of wack. I actively zoom out references for this reason. So the logical extrapolation is that a larger canvas (especially if it's a non-digital canvas) requires a lot more checking than a smaller one.
(roll on transhumanism -- larger eyes FTW ;)

Hope you're pleased with the texturing in your latest post -- I think it's significantly improved over earlier posts, particularly in  .. uh, fitting together into a thematic whole, I guess is what I mean. Very illustration-y.

@any
I did some 32x32 tag icons with DB32 palette

(http://i.imgur.com/UmdBPHP.png)

Intended to be used in conjunction with TMSU (https://github.com/oniony/TMSU/wiki) and lighthouse (https://github.com/emgram769/lighthouse). It's fun typing in lighthouse to select tags and seeing my icons come up as I create them.

I made a reusable shell function out of the commandline I used to create the montage:
Code: [Select]
# accept a geometry (like 32x32+16+0, for a 32x32 area with a 16pix horizontal margin) and a list of png files
# compile all but the final argument into a montage, with the final argument being the output path.
named_tile_montage() {
 GEOMETRY="$1"
 FONTSIZE=6
 BG=gray40
 shift 1
 # this is a hack that results in the final argument ending up in DEST.
 # cf. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1853946/getting-the-last-argument-passed-to-a-shell-script
 for DEST; do true; done
 montage -geometry "$GEOMETRY" -pointsize "$FONTSIZE" -background "$BG" $(for V; do; if [ "$V" != "$DEST" ]; then; echo -label "${V%%.png}" "$V"; fi; done;) "$DEST"
}

Also updated my design kit

(http://i.imgur.com/bZwLeSV.gif)
making tiny tiles is alarmingly addictive; up to 508 unique tiles now. 4x4 is an excellent choice for many sizes of repeating pattern -- see the stippling patterns, a slope of N generally takes N tiles before it meets up with itself -- less for higher N.

@PixelPileDriver: Thx! ('tis the petscii charset).

@Ai: Thx for your input. I am currently not concerned with finishing/polishing things, just trying to gain momentum, get into a habit of regular pixelling/doodleing to fight depression and get motivated, so stuff I post in this thread is very unlikely to receive any refinement from me.

"What does every game need to be a good game?"
"..."
"Right! That's it!"
"A schizophreniac."

Hence, I made one

Thanks.  :blind:
It's getting closer to what I want to do with that process.
I need to do a bunch more pieces this way and explore its potential.

Those look dope.
Hope that goes with the animations you posted before.
Cuz I really liked those as well.

Spent a couple of hours on this today. Far from finished, but I've done a good bit.
LOL!
oh man..... great.
what does he throw in his mouth tho?

Quote
my observations of it's proportions can get hilariously out of wack. I actively zoom out references for this reason.
Yah definitely.
Stepping back from art and seeing the entire canvas at once is important.
It's always good to have 2 or 3 views going at once.
But getting lost in a tiny portion as you clean it up is important too.
Try drawing with a grid on, even if you are not using it for size restrictions.
It helps to focus on an isolated part of the image when needed.

Redid the characters in a different style, because the other one was too cutesty and I couldn't really play with silhouettes(didn't do it a lot here either, but whatever). Left the naked templates and some pervy stuff I had to make for a friend(dn't know why I abided :'D), So I guess you could call it nsfw

Thanks guys :) I really like the stuff everyone's been posting too. Love the rim of light around the girls head on the thing you posted a few pages back PixelPiledriver, I'd never do something like that haha. And that moonman piece looks great AlcopopStar. They weren't really planned as part of the same project but probably a similar style for what I'll be doing for the other ones. Just needed to do something that didn't have an actual game concept riding on it. Really just trying to knock out some folio stuff.

Done last night. Bottom right is from alternate universe where I decided to start rendering shades, but right now I like the upper right one the most (I'm a sucker for large areas of uninterrupted solid color). Would re-touch right sleeve and change the shoes, but meh.

Thought I'd try to work at 32x32 just for fun, stuff I want to do with her is a bit of a nod to wonderboy 3 for the sms and I really like the creative problem solving you can see in a lot of the sprites for that as a result of that resolution. You're not wrong though, usually I'd expect something like this to take 3 hours but it took 5 :ouch:

Programmatically generated a 256 colors palette today (modified a NES palette generator I wrote some time ago) containing an index reserved for transparency, 15 shades of uniform gray from black to white and 16 non-linear chroma variations with 15 linear luma levels each:
(http://abload.de/img/2015_02_08_generatedpizrio.png)

The purpose of this palette is to serve me as a solid starting point when picking colors for new pixel art pieces and quickly testing ranges with different hue shifts without having to manually redefine all colors each time.

Tested that new palette in a quick alien scout vessel for todays #pixel_dailies:
(http://abload.de/img/2015_02_08_alienufowtq3n.gif)

I've had the inclination to do some cute Rainbow Islands-like stuff lurking in my skull for a while.
Do it. It is great fun and generates happiness.

Neat. I guess that means Taito made Rainbow Islands?
Yes and the tune in Rainbow Islands sounds very similar(different timing though) to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" from the Wizard Of Oz...

Dennis, pretty cool! :) Although the tin man isn't supposed to smile, and the scarecrow also looks kinda smart :lol:
...they are all somewhat happy in this scene, the lion is only scared of copyright infringement lawyers because of the tune thing.

It is all hand-made. The empty space above is where I drew intermediate top views to get all the rotation foreshortening right. It was made in two sessions, about nine hours in each session (submitted super late, several hours after the theme for the next day had already been announced). At first I tried to pull an all-nighter to finish in time but there is always that point where one just needs to take a break and sleep.

Quote

Tried doing that, maybe it needs to be vastly exaggerated. Maybe it also needs shading to look convincing. Stared at this for too long though, so the piece will rest until I feel like picking it up again.

No repeats.

Do not worry about that "deadline". Folks tweet stuff a day or several days late all the time. It is not a contest or challenge or anything. There is nothing to win, no judging. It is just a for fun thing really, where people send in their thoughts under a common daily announced theme. At least that is how I understand it. It is not anything to stress over.

Yeah, but the idea of a "deadline" has always been a huge motivator for me. I'm one of those people who work waaaaaaaay better under pressure but take slacking off to a new level without.

Anyway, that piece was supposed to have a tree growing around the robot. But I was having to much trouble with creating a decent palette between the tree and the robot.

Laying down some lines.
The challenge is to not use references.

EDIT:
Damn Cyangmou got me second guessing my poses now.  ;)
Trying to push things a bit, make it more interesting. Still no references. From my first month here, I've been working on my female figure studies, really think they are coming together. Though I've never talked with Ellian, he was my inspiration for studying woman. Thanks man!

It fell off the front so had to do some digging to find it. That water is something else I tell ya.
I was about to post references for the female figures but that would have ruined your challenge  ;) Nice job, I can't do anatomy for shit even with references lol

Holiday tomorrow so no school. I also have mt.dew and Doritos some i'm good to pixel well into the night!

@Yaomon
I think tomorrow I'll ask for and look up references myself. I see things that are wrong, and it is a struggle to fix them, but I think overall the exercise is helping me think more critically to find solutions. A lot of going back over to find what works too. That being said another edit:

(http://i.imgur.com/GEdp8b1.png)
I brought her heel down to ground her more to the floor, trying for a heavy mid-run look.
Reduced her hips significantly, also trying to add in a hint of hipbone in there. Still need further refinement, it is remarkably hard to pixel nice curving hips.
Also made her head length and width smaller by a pixel, reduced the shoulder size and brought that whole group down a bit.

A question though, do ya'll like the head looking at the viewers left side of the screen(current revision), or the head looking to the viewers right side(previous revisions)? Leaning towards the left myself.

EDIT:
Messing around with flats. Just kinda happened upon "Scarlet Pool". Oh well, i'll role with it for awhile.

Actually I don't make any of the final choices for this character.
That's why I'm providing a labeled sheet with variations for the dude to choose from.

Since im starting to desing my new game i was trying to draw a new style, and what is the best way to start? Not walls, as i discovered.

i was pretty shocked to know im not a demigod of drawing (this joke sounds way more dumb when i typed it.) and i did see i draw this ugly piece of monstruos wall.

so, what is the better way to stop myself for destroying all evidences of startig this? obviusly posting it on internet:

thanks ppd x) I wonder where he got *that* gun  ::)

Love your monkess. And i really like the moves you come up with for her. They look pretty authentic for the most part.
Something that cought my attention though is in the first row, she does punch forward and backward. nothing wrong with that, but you wouldnt throw your upper body towards one direction, or it would cancel the other punch. You'd go into a horse-stance to be centered and able to equally deliver into both directions.
To compensate the abrupt stop in motion i made her turn around the other way to bring some flow back

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12237727/Sprites/wotp/ppd_monkess.png)

But agreed its def one of the weaker drawings of the bunch.
Yours looks nice.

I had some research going but also made quite a bit of it up.
The last kick is meant to be something like this one of Yuen Biao.

Which admittedly I did from memory, and got mostly wrong, because I couldn't think of where I had seen it last night.
It could be improved a lot.

Today I'll be working from these two videos:

The way I see it, the pose as you drew it works, better understandable as a complete animation, because this is an "all-in" power punch. This means the power comes from the core of the body, rather than just extending the arm. So the force of the fist comes mainly from rotating the body and falling forward. The other arm backwards is not meant to be a punch as such, but flinging the other arm backwards helps rotate the core body / shoulder faster, which flings the forward arm harder into the front. The whole body is shortly tensed for control and conducting the core power into the tip of fist. Something like that I guess.

Something to improve in the drawing of it could be making the rotational aspect of the body more obvious, so that the body is not facing front in the end but sideways, left shoulder back, right shoulder forward. For actual animation: the correct power punch is an incredibly complex movement. the main force comes from coordination skill more than total muscle, in that the physics of momentum on whole body mass are fully utilized and make the actual power leading into the fist. As far as raw strength goes, the most important force is originated by the hips actually, on the lower body, initiating the rotational momentum of body, which travels slightly delayed into a rotation of upper body, where it is further exploded, and has a loose and leading shoulder sling shot the arm forward, almost like a trebuchet. It's very snappy, and the right timing of being loose and tensing up for a moment is key. But I'm not sure how much of this finesse makes for a good pa frame animation.

The body mass momentum / rotational / hips aspect is always most important, but sometimes more or less pronounced, depending of how much you want to expose yourself in the end as price for committing. So sometimes you barely even see it, but it always makes the brunt of force of any given punch from a skilled fighter.

Yeah, that's pretty nice actually. The fallout-steps are kinda gimmicky for the most part in practice. Personally, I tend to just twitch the hips into a snappy-aggressive micro rotation without loosing much stance, which forces the rest of the body to follow suit, and augment that in the upper body, so that the shoulder whiplashes the arm forward. whiplash is a good word for that, yeah. Try it. forget about your arm. loose all strength in it and leave it dead hanging, and try to whiplash this dead thing forward with your shoulder, which means you need to work a lot the upper body. Now next, forget about your shoulder, it's dead loose, and try whiplashing your shoulder forward with your hips twitch rotation. That's the real trick, a double whiplash. your hips whiplash your dead shoulder, and your shoulder whiplashes your dead arm. Once you figured this out, you realize what part of your body you actually concentrate on when punching -- least of all your arm -- you start to augment this more precise. And I think that's how you figure out understanding animation of a convincingly powerful punch of any sort.

Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: RAV on March 04, 2015, 01:11:49 pm
But one mistake is when it looks like the tiny flying fist drags the body forward. It's key that it's obvious that the body throws the fist.
Remember, it's not a donkey(fist) pulling a cart(body), it's a catapult(body) throwing a stone(fist), so know the right sequence of moves and force translation.

I warmed up with some really crappy gesture scribbles and  realized how weak they were; but I told myself I would practice just a little bit more often from now (I don't wanna post those; but maybe soon I'll warm up a bit and feel cozy enough sharing some). Ideally I will practice daily, even if just for 20-30 minutes.

Some tiles from this week:
(http://i.imgur.com/v77e5SD.png)
A few are finished, most are not (eg. that 'polearm' icon next to the spear icon. Yes, that's a question mark on the end.)

I have to be careful with color here as I'm considering a mono-colored thing to indicate 'white/red/pink/blue/etc X' rather than just plain 'X'. So most icons are rendered in greys.

Unicode fonts, with a character map application, are a great design resource. The vehicle icons are adapted from the Vehicles/Traffic section of Unicode (starts at U+1F680 "ROCKET" and continues until about U+1F6B8), dunno what font.

Pix3m: Very oil-paint-y. Have you tried working with restricted colorspaces (CPC, EGA64, Genesis, Amiga)? The smaller ones are especially good at making you deal with the necessity of high contrast.

Worked on the hands for an hour and a half and they still look like crap. I should really do some studies of hands and limbs... I suck at them. Finished the legs and did a little general touching up.

6-8 hour skull study done for my portfolio (college apps!!)

(http://i.imgur.com/Vhs2xvP.png?1)

Does anyone know how to get best results with getting "paper art" onto a computer with minimal quality loss? The shadows aren't the same, and in a way that can't be fixed by messing with sliders in photoshop. Is it better to scan or to take an hd photo for something this size (slightly larger than printer paper)?
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ai on April 02, 2015, 08:24:25 am
You have the option of doing both (using the camera image to restore the shadows). Keep in mind that if you want to get a good result taking a photo, you need to get really even lighting, keep the media very flat, and the camera very close to perpendicular to it. Same stuff that the scanner takes care of for you basically.

But before you resort to more difficult options, consider whether you can selectively apply a filter to recover the detail (assuming that what has happened is that the local brightness relationship changed, rather than actual destruction of data). If it were me, I would make a duplicate of the image, greyscale it, normalize it, and invert it, so I have a selection mask that affects pixels in proportion to their darkness. Then I would probably try some spatially-sensitive filters, like GMIC Local Contrast, Bilateral Blur, or Unsharp mask, according to the exact symptoms of the problem.

That's what I'd do if it was the same kind of shadow distortion I've encountered (which I think probably amounts to 'pigment on receded parts of the canvas scans as a different color than my eye sees it as'.)

There's not really a one-size-fits-all solution IME. Getting samples of different media, making some shading samples, and seeing how truthfully they scan is an informative exercise for the future -- some media is great to work with but scans weirdly, or vice versa.

Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Pix3M on April 05, 2015, 08:44:07 am
So, I decided to sit down, give my personal art project a major facelift and this is what I got. Basically, the art project is an easy-to-program idle game written in Javascript, and the art direction is something JRPG-like basically Frankensteined out of Western, Chinese, and modern styles.

Of course, that earlier motif study of what makes a setting look Chinese, I shared earlier pretty much gave me an obvious suggestion to try an art direction, much like what Fez did, to abuse the hell out of right angles.

(http://i58.tinypic.com/scggu0.png)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/5xnae9.png)

Named this new font 'Central Square' because the setting as suggested earlier intends to use China as one source of inspiration, which I named my setting's starting country "Centralia" which is a bilingual joke considering China in Chinese pretty much means something very similar. So... Center + Square font = Central Square.

Sounds awfully city-like for something used in a "East-ish-Asian-ish aesthetic" but who cares?  :lol:

Post by: Pix3M on April 06, 2015, 07:36:44 pm
The result of the motif study is worked into the UI and I borrowed the use of geometric shapes. Pretty much, "cherrypicking" parts I find particularly interesting

The characters were intentionally JRPG-esque bastardized creations

I suppose I can look at more ornate designs used in East Asian design though.

Just trying out GIMP 2.9's new 'Lock brush scale to zoom' option:
(http://i.imgur.com/IkichBs.png)

Makes it pretty easy to do stuff at different scales without messing around changing brush size. I intentionally avoided changing brush size even once for the entire painting. My habits got in a bit of conflict with that, but overall I think this will be very useful for any process that uses iterative refinement.

@AlcopopStar: Like the orcs. BG color that isn't white would probably make them read better.

@Ai: Man, with all those features that sounds like GIMP will be the ultimate pixel art tool. As long as it is not about animations at least. :crazy:

Oh, you read my other post that describes the full indexpainting support? Yeah, it's pretty damn handy. Didn't use it for this particular picture though, it was done in RGB mode / Normal blending mode @ 100% opacity.

WRT animation, I agree the default setup is not very helpful, but my experience is that GIMP-GAP is pretty good. For a small simple anim, GrafX2 is more comfortable, but for more complex things, the multi-layer-per-frame setup (and all the other things!) GIMP-GAP provides is more convenient (eg: scrolling BG / parallax, moving animating objects over a complex path.. ). Unfortunately GAP isn't available for 2.9 yet though.

We don't have HDR indexed images yet. I mean, that might sound stupid, but I suspect it is quite useful if you need to model changing light conditions.

Personally I have both 2.8 and 2.9 installed, which allows me the best of both worlds (2.8 has more plugins, especially GIMP-GAP and the remarkable GMIC, and is a little faster, 2.9 has HDR support, canvas rotation, recent colors palette, indexpainting and 'indexcompositing', and some other new tools). I can have them both up at the same time by launching whichever one I run second with the -n (new instance) commandline option.

Currently using GIMP in preference to GrafX2 because GrafX2 has a scary bug  relating to save-as:  Supposing you load a.png, modify it, and save-as b.png. If b.png already exists before the save, a.png will be erased when you do the save.

Overall though I wouldn't strongly recommend 2.9 yet. It has a lot of compelling features but more developer know-how is currently required to effectively operate it than 2.8 (or the eventual release 2.10 that 2.9 will become).

If you're just trying to do indexed transparency, GrafX2 can do that for you.

Is there some particular reason you seem to be using airbrush exclusively (rather than, say, a fuzzy brush)? My own experience of using airbrush to *draw* (as opposed to using it just for modelling) is lots of pain and eyestrain.

No criticism intended, I honestly just don't understand why you are doing that.

But to answer your question, i'm trying a different painting process where I block in forms then erase to get my line work as opposed to just drawing line work.

Challenged myself to make a 8x8 medieval font. Of course, being mindful of the grid, you have to draw smaller than the grid size, so the biggest I have is 7x7. the annoying thinness of the lowercase "i" is less annoying if it's 6x7 instead, so there's extra natural room to make the 'i' work out better.

And something from yesterday to get my feet wet at actually using human anatomy in spritework. Uploaded to tinypic but just checked and they don't like adult pics  :-X Hotlinking from deviantART in case that image gets randomly removed

Yes. To be honest I didn't plan the head to well. It was the last thing I worked on, and as you can see from the unfinished ear, I didn't take a lot of time to work on it. So for the hair I just made a quick brush and quickly whipped some strands in. Not ideal but my main focus was shading and blending

tried some gesture studies for the first time as suggested by Mr. Beast.

interesting how I could see a noticeable improvement from number 1 to 3 (biggest one is 1, laying down is 2, and bending over is 3). 2 is probably the worst as a final result, but in terms of time efficiency and comfort I definitely got better with each one. Perhaps it's just me warming up after not drawing anything tho

I'm trying to get some practice with animation. I'm starting with just finding a stick figure frame that I like and practice that a lot before moving forward. I have an 80 page moleskin and a ballpoint ben and hopefully I will just get a little something drawn every day to post. Today is Day 1, and I just copied some stick figure references.

WHAT UP, SKETCH THREAD


Some quick image posting advice when your image is gigantic.


1. Use imgur.

2. Find image in your account that you want to post and click the "Large Thumbnail" or "Huge Thumbnail" size links in the bottom right (if your image is too large originally):

(http://i.imgur.com/IQoSZVJh.png)

Notice how the URL changes for each different size. Just add a lowercase H for Huge Thumbnail or a lowercase L for Large Thumbnail.

3. Once desired image size is selected, hit the BBcode button to copy URL to clipboard. Post it.




So Lachyrmose could just add an "l" or an "h" to his image's URL - large thumb: http://i.imgur.com/FucdDMTl.png (http://i.imgur.com/FucdDMTl.png)  -  huge thumb: http://i.imgur.com/FucdDMTh.png (http://i.imgur.com/FucdDMTh.png)

You ever have a great idea/thought in your head AND drive to put it down on paper/digital medium? Then you start doing it. It eventually peters out and you lose fuel QUICK. I think this was one of those moments for me. It was larger, but I shrunk it down to 50%, as to not take up so much room here. Any hoo, here was my poor attempt of a piss-poor attempt at Photoshop-thing that I began about a year ago and never quite picked it back up...

Yup. The following drawing was started (and abandoned) in December 2013. It then occupied my drawing board for about a year as I kept thinking I'd return to it eventually... at some point I put it away onto a shelf where it continued to dust around since the beginning of 2015 only to be scanned just now after reading that. I probably will not ever finish it as I'm so out of practice now that I would only ruin it for sure:

@Joe: Personally, I'd push the shadow up or down according to how stiff I wanted the parchment to seem. Right now, it seems fairly floppy. Nothing wrong with the angle of it IMO.
The dark line next to the back face of the parchment forms a tangent with the house roof  -- my eye wants to get stuck there.
Widening the parchment by a few pixels might help.

I did digitally paint a skull that turned out alright though:

A 4Liter milk bottle with an identity crisis (it wants to be a set of scales).

Also that flag makes it look like the country has an open mouth.

Pretty modest, but done today, at least.. while I was implementing 'Strong zoom' commands for Grafx2 (http://pulkomandy.tk/projects/GrafX2/ticket/28)

I also would ask, my banner or not, to push it back to the front of the news queue. I think this kind of practice is too important to fall to the wayside in an art community.

Looks good from what I can see.....
Which isn't that much, on this background.
IMO it would be good if we had a way to post images with a custom background color. For an image-centric board, it would be a lot more useful than other things we already have (glow, shadow)

really unfinished and unrefined practice drawing I did today while waiting (approx 30 min), also done on cheap paper so I also won't finish it.
Has no deeper meaning to it, than that I just tried to construct everything out of mind, no references used.

Wolfenoctis: Thanks about the fonts. :)
 I would like to try a sketch library like yours sometime (soon would be good). That Frazetta study is sweet.. well most of the library is. Is that Frazetta one gaussian blurred or is it actually done like that as you go?

DMM: Thanks! hope you mean Erde's portrait :), assuming so cause the cop portrait is silly  :blind:

Yaomon: Nice sprite animation!

Made a 'speed painting', but I ended up cleaning it up for like four hours so it ended up not being a 'speed painting' but I did mange to make it pretty fast overall (thanks to the flat black in part).. about 5 hours total (not counting the pattern in the BG which I made before):
(http://i.imgur.com/XKI8KIy.png)
Based on an image from a dream I had.
Very short description: The mother of the prince of the universe is shown here. Her son, in the dream, after being crowned by her and the faceless or invisible god, stabbed himself in the heart. His caustic blood (think Alien) sprayed onto him and his mother melting them into a pile of black smouldering muck from which the dancing god of chaos was born. The dream scrambled a bit after that aboriginally decorated god rose up from the muck... I wasn't sure where the invisible god was, cause well I couldn't see him; I just remember panic in his voice. The whole scene started to melt.. at that point I woke up thinking 'damn that looked awesome'. If only I could recreate that scene somehow.. it'd be too big a task but I did capture 'the queen mother of the universe' pretty well at least, except the dress was different (I can't really remember the dress clearly actually).

Nice avatar 32  :y:

Thank you ;D Loving your paintings.

The animation is looking great. If you don't mind a bit of critique I think you should try to get some of that nice roll in the hips into the shoulders for counterbalance, looks a bit stiff. And on the farthest back frame of the each leg the knees pop, I'm not sure that pushing it up onto the toe tips is necessary for a subtle walk like that so keeping the toe a bit bent should help stop the knee popping. It also doesn't rise as much on the step with the back foot which makes for a bit of a limp.

'sup RAV?

perspective construction... define units, set up camera height, define horizontal angle, vertical angle, picture plane, determine area of view, derive units for top view, derive first unit of depth, define stuff, track and place it into perspective... the tedious way:

oh I know. The downside is that you gotta be painstakingly thorough. But that is also the upside. It's maybe not what you do on every drawing of any asset, but when you do you really got it pinned down through and through with a great overview, which can be an advantage later on when you relate to it otherwise. Basically you produce a shared design document of it on the go, a great point of reference and orientation for later on. It's comparable to constructing a figure from layers of bones, muscle, clothes. And maybe even first thinking about a character's motives, worldviews, relationships before starting its visual design. So here it's first thinking purpose, inner layout & design, and giving in the end a truthful outside depiction of this deeper idea of a house. You show a structured approach to that.

the horse seems huge. I am not saying it's impossible, because there are coldblood horses around which can get that big,
but to me it definitely feels too big compared to normal knight horses (which always were on the smaller side and with a shorter back)

Making the legs 1 px thinner and the whole horse 3-5 pixels shorter (head smaller too) would help a ton with the size impression I guess.

Aside from that great work, love the value composition.

So big reveal on why I am drawing peregrine falcons: Ra!

I drew this mostly to test which areas I feel I'm lacking in. My ability to draw cloth is just horrendously lacking. I also struggled a lot with the pose and I just never draw men, so I don't even understand the muscle definition. Also don't know how to draw metal.
So yeah gonna work on this, and start doing more drawing on these things.

@wzl: first one reminds me pleasantly of C64 / Wizball. Second one I like but not sure I understand the level of saturation in the hills (I guess I mean there are some things that make me think it's a sunrise image but there are other cues that make me think it's supposed to be an sunset image.)

Still slogging through my backlog. These were all inked from 1-2m sketches yesterday:

Trying to get a feel for digital inking and also minimalist quick gesture.  I guess by the time I finish my backlog I'll have covered value, atmospheric lighting, and color too.

@Ambivorous: Thanks, S-LIB stands for "Shape Library". There where one or two days I didn't post anything because of real life BS, but yes practically every day. (I also did some master studies and other stuff that didn't count as S-LIB so technically I had done more than a 100 daily sketches by the time S-LIB reached it's 100 benchmark)  :P

Haven't draw in 2 years, trying to ease back into it all.  I have to study cranial/facial anatomy before my next attempt at something like this, but I forced through a constructed study of papa Ezra Pound (with a reference, which is his most famous picture):

Day 3.  Starting to internalize the nose and eye area a bit.  Turns out my guesswork construction was a bit off.  Middle face was from imagination, so I think it's starting to sink in.

I'll edit this post with a drawing of my own a little later today. =D

@Ambivorous Damn dude! Those studies are amazing! Looks almost real. How do you do it? And are you using Photoshop? I am impressed!

Thank you!~ All my effort is finally starting to pay off! Still have a long way to go though.

How? Fifty value studies into another ten of these. :P
Just practice, practice, practice. Probably a hundred hours of practice. The value studies helped immensely, and I really need to thank whoever got me on to those. Changed. My. Life.

I use Krita, but honestly I could use anything that has a round brush since that's all I use. :D

Away for the weekend, so either I won't be doing any studies (because I'm too busy having fun), or I'll post a batch on Sunday evening (because I doubt I'll have internet where I'm going).
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Atnas on December 11, 2015, 03:49:36 pm
Ambivorous, very nice studies. Are you working at a larger resolution and scaling down? If not I would recommend it. I only ask because your images are rather blurry, and they could benefit from hard edged brushes or working on the edges of forms more precisely, zoomed in with a smaller brush.

I think your values are super solid - next up is mark making. The challenge in traditional can sometimes be preserving stroke economy while hitting the right values. Luckily in digital you can rework it as much as you want without destroying the physical canvas or changing the texture of the paint terribly.

Thanks! ^^

So at present I don't even use the zoom button. I used to zoom out when I first started which helped to see glaring issues, and zoom in when something needed more attention, but these days I just do everything at the same zoom. I definitely realise that zooming in and/or using a smaller brush would make my drawings look much more realistic, but each time I half my brush size I double the time taken to do the piece, so I'll have to figure out a way to keep my time down, but spend the right time in the right places with a smaller brush.
I've never changed the hardness of my brush though, that should be a thing I investigate.

Actually, I have literally NO IDEA what the process anyone else follows when drawing. What do you guys do?


Yeah I can definitely notice the impact my value studies have had on my ability to recognise and replicate value. Feels good!
So what's mark making then, and how to I practice it? And stroke economy? And all those other words that make no sense to me?  :-X


Didn't get time to art this past weekend sadly, not because I was busy, but because a) I forgot my tablet at home, and b) I have the flu. :(



(http://i.imgur.com/s69eduF.png)

Some experimenting. More of a "look at an object and then try to draw that object" approach to give the piece a more unique feel rather than going for photo realism.

Yeah I was just so overwhelmed that I missed a lot of colours, but at least I learned that without all those reds my drawing looks much less dry than the reference image.
I like the idea of drawing details from sprites - think I'll try that some time.
How do you record your drawing btw?

@Atnas: Well.. I wasn't actually creating a story but just a model posing. But then this hilarious/creepy idea came to mind and the piece ended up like this :P  Model is posing for a photoshoot when a kid comes and sees the boobies followed by him drooling.

And man, your latest work is so amazing!

Value studies were inspired by Ambivorous' series. They still feel 'too easy' (in the sense that a semblance of an object is very quickly carved out by a few tones, even if its precise volumes are ill defined)... but I feel like I'm improving my ability to intentionally restructure values to clarify form, so I'm continuing.

Full album (http://imgur.com/a/ZmxFJ) is 37 pages, varying quality. I tried to get horizontal album layout but it doesn't seem to exist anymore (?).

Current learning priorities:

A. Gesture, esp. coordinated multi-person gestures
B. Measurement (correctly measuring objects by locating extrema ('fitting object in boxes') and subdividing from there, drawing a minimal number of 'contour' lines as needed)
C. Consistency - redraw same object N times
D. Value
E. Color

@A2J2T: Like the hatching technique on the tree. Feels like a moderate amount of dark grey or greyey-blue hatching would compliment it, depending on exactly how sunny you want it to look.
Hip structure is what stands out to me. I have to work on that too, I'll be aiming to study Bridgeman's construction methods more.

@Ai  Hey,thanks for the comment! The tree is unfinished; I got frustrated as no matter what I did I was unable to add volume to it. I was thinking of using black but then me and my friends had to leave from location.
Anatomy is the weakest part of me.. I am still trying to learn it though but not from tutorials but live drawing. I might end up taking some classes somewhere or not or will just ask friends to sit infront of me.

I have not posted in a while, but that does not mean I haven't been doing my dailies! No, not at all!

Obviously on the 22nd I did Pheno's secret santa present, but couldn't post it here.

On the 25th I attempted to draw this:
(http://i.imgur.com/qvXrCXV.png)
Learned I have no idea how to draw poses or how to draw bodies in complicated positions, and have no clue how to do foreshortening.

And then I started doing this lot which is for DracoDragon's secret santa because actually I wanted to try out this "Duelyst style" thing and also I like mecha.

And so begins my practice of poses and complex perspectives!
Interestingly, for this picture, I drew her face at a different angle (because I'm stoopid) but it still looks like her (well as much like her as my other face sketches)! Yay, a great accomplishment.



Oh also, given my new-found confidence following the secret santa, I've been helping out with edits around the forums again, and that totally counts towards my daily stuff! :-X

Also also, cool style PPD!

@Ambivorous: Don't really use them to draw, the main lines of importance are highlighted in green, it should look familiar to you, it's the gesture. I will use some horisontal lines sometimes to align things but they are not consistently the same and don't serve any constructive purpose:

Doing these value oriented studies, I really feel the gamut limitation of paper+pencil (or charcoal). At other times I've tried mixing in other things like texta, biro, various types of marker for greater contrast.. generally looks incongruous with the pencil though.

@Ambivorous: The left one is a clear improvement in .. clarity. Are you using a single grade of pencil (eg 2B), or more than one grade (eg 2H+2B)?

@Ambivorous
To put it another way, not every mark on a page has an immediately specific or unique description.
Or a 1 to 1 relation to a physical feature, like a line used to represent an anatomical form.
But they all fall under construction, and each is a tool to help the artist create the drawing.
Volumes, length, alignment, angle, projection etc are examples of using relative marks as tools without necessarily "drawing anything".
These help you create and judge 2D and 3D relationships.
A combination of those marks together lay out a guide for you to apply another layer of construction marks or marks with a physical and polished intent.

Whether you leave them in or not is up to you.
A lot of times I erase out construction lines from my drawings as I work, after finished a mark as a tool I no longer need it. --> more often when using a single layer approach rather than having construction on a layer below
But it's useful to leave it in while working for overall comparison as you develop the art.

@PDD and Ambivorous: I used to do a lot of construction lines with my drawings, but it got really technical and produced mechanical results which took a much longer and would be suboptimal for animation. I think it's a useful exercise to do some of these mechanical drawings to try to give you an idea of the 3d shape of the body but not for your main drawing technique as you tend to lose the flow/gesture of the figure. Some old examples below:

Oh I'm not actually supposed to be focusing on clarity - it just makes things take longer. :lol: I get carried away sometimes though.

So funnily enough, on all my sketches, I write down what pencil I used (you can see the B on both of those). This was useful in the beginning because I was learning what kind of things the different pencils do (I have from 2H to 6B), but I guess now it's kinda superfluous because I can recognise what pencil I used just by looking at my sketches for the most part. xD
That said, I only used two pencils on one piece if I remember correctly. I think I used my H or 2H for the lines and then went over those lines and did my shading in one of my heavier Bs (I marked the sketch as being 2H + 3B or whatever) and it made quite a massive difference. It's a lot easier to draw the lines with the harder pencils and obviously shading with blacks is the best for that sweet contrast.

@PPD and @Wolf:
I feel like I should use more construction lines then. That rotating thing looks like extremely good practice in fact.

(http://i.imgur.com/sWHW50y.png)

Meanwhile I've been practicing drawing metal and also more light stuff with the gem. Woo!
I just go to town with the edits these days as well. It's quite fun and feels more useful than just copy pasting.



Well, thanks for reminding me about using different pencil grades on the same image, Ai. xD

Hmm? I didn't necessarily mean 'reproducing the source image accurately'. You can get clarity by simplifying line and tone too.

Ah. That's pretty much what I was going for; many of your drawings remind me of my old drawings, which had some kind of 'coarse' characteristic which betrayed that they were done all with one grade. Working with a harder pencil (2h) helped pinpoint and eliminate the construction/design problems that led to that.

Yeah, that has a good line quality + solidity, though the light is very diffuse (common problem with studio photos, they don't show form clearly due to excessive number of fill lights).

"H LSB"? I guess I should be reading that "H & 5B"?

Have you tried charcoal? It's commonly regarded as good for tone studies AFAIK, and my own experiences certainly back that up (very fast and 'solid feeling').

Your newer post reminds me of this (http://imgur.com/kToE5JN) page from Bridgman.

I have never tried charcoal. I only have more than an HB pencil because someone bought it for me for my birthday.

Just making a note for those who don't read the Off-Topic thread: Crow's just added imgur album embed support. You can see what it looks like over there (http://wayofthepixel.net/index.php?topic=17756.msg168737#msg168737),

and embed albums in a similar way to youtube videors -- specify their album id, like:
Code: [Select]

FWIW I requested this feature on the basis of it being useful for anyone who wants to post multiple related images here. I think it should eventually get an icon, so that it's not a hidden feature.. but I'm not sure what can represent an album legibly at 16x16px.

Wow, nice skulls.

Man, Wolf, when are you going to draw a full piece? I'm really looking forward to what you'll produce!


I wanted to do animation today, but couldn't get a pose I liked so instead I spent my time drawing up a bunch of poses!

(http://i.imgur.com/yByo4mb.jpg)

The character is supposed to be trying to stay strong while carrying the burdens of others. I could go into more, but I will not bore you all. I tried to get a pose that has despair, courage and solemnity in it. I wanted a very static pose, but I added some over expressive poses just to get a feel for the feelings they provoked.
I am pretty happy with the last pose for now (but hey I might change my mind), so hopefully I'll get to animating tomorrow instead!

To stop this dry spell of mine from continuing.

Nice work on that girl, Wolf! Crisp lines and wonderfully chosen colours. You'd definitely sell a lot of manga with artwork like that!
Maybe spend less time on that octopus though, because he is so detailed it's stealing some from the rest of the piece. :lol:

Like that you're doing more expressive poses now. Can't wait to see more!



And I shall end my dry spell with gusto!
Even did a progress thing this time.

These are the construction lines I am using these days.

Basically connect the dots at this point.

Add some shading and I'm done.

I am using a Intuos Pro M, they are very expensive though. Had a small 50€ graphics tablet for the last 6 years, so I wanted a proper upgrade this time, not more of the same crap. But the basic functionality is the same, if you are just starting out a more basic tablet should be completely sufficient.

For digital painting a graphics tablet is a necessity, for pixel and vector art mostly useless.

@wolfenoctis: My mind is having trouble not reading that leg as broken, maybe the curving in the fabric texture needs to be more like this instead (foot perspective might need adjustment as well):

Title: Re: The Daily Sketch

It would make more sense if the foot was rotated differently, e.g. that it is facing away from the camera, especially since the torso also faces away from the camera.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: 0xDB on February 01, 2016, 06:24:54 pm
Looks like the foot is wrongly rotated, not the leg, e.g. that it was supposed to be facing away from the camera.
I thought so too at first but that would only be possible if the upper leg (as the original curving suggests) was indeed going into the screen (knee pointing away from us then) but then in that case (making the foot face away from us), the curving on the lower leg would need changing... but... BUT... we see the front of her panties under the skirt and if the upper leg would in fact be intended to face away, then we would see her ass there... and then the other leg would need changing as well all the way down to and including the other foot.

I think the issue is that the foot shouldn't be facing the way it is, combined with the shapes on the stocking.

Definite yes to that, changing the stocking alone would not fix it.

Thanks for all the helpful edits guys  ;D . I've redrawn the pose and adjusted the foot as Mr. Beast suggested. The stockings in combination with the bow drawn in the wrong perspective worsened the broken look of the limb. I'm just exploring some outfit designs so that is the reason for the sloppy work  :-[

Nice car, pipes.

A while back I suggested gym leader badges in various forms to help with things for reasons. Back then I didn't have the skill to actually make one that I'd want, but now!
Made Brock's boulder badge to test things out.

(http://i.imgur.com/3tJRpyU.gif)

Realised this is way too big for the purposes, so would have to go with 16x16. Might not be able to get the sweet angle in at that resolution, but whatever I'll test when I'm bored again.

@wolfenoctis: The final version is very polished, but this sketch (http://i.imgur.com/3TBHbbm.png) had a lot more energy and the pose was more natural. Mainly her left right arm and her torso were more naturally posed, the torso in the final version is twisted in a way that looks impossible without rotating the hips more.

What has the world come to that I am making edits in the daily sketch?

More contrast! Also make the closer rocks blurry for depth (same with the distant ones really).

I'm making a game, so don't expect much daily art from me, because I'm doing daily programming. :P
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ai on February 16, 2016, 12:47:45 pm
Yeah, the nearest mountain on the left looks a little odd, but you can probably get away with it.
The one on the right has a similar problem to the central object, but it's also stealing focus from the central object and IMO needs to be redesigned- dark areas need to lead the eye back into the picture, not out.

The chisel-shaped block of blue near top left is a compositional problem imo. Fading the diagonal bit of cloud as it goes down might improve it and leave a logical place for that blue to 'escape'.

I'm not sure what scale the focal object is supposed to have, though based on the person, this is how I would change it:
(http://i.imgur.com/nV7grSC.jpg)

and the reason why I would do that is because large objects tend to pick up the sky color on their upward facing ..faces. I also did the reverse (radiosity -- in this case picking up color from the sand). To me, this (very quick) change appears to place the object more firmly in the surroundings. This might make the shadow seem a bit weak

I made another quick edit (with liberal use of blur, and fading out sky in corners of image) to attempt to improve composition and focus. IMO I largely succeeded but the result might be perceived as brutal, cause I'm actively throwing away detail. Link (http://i.imgur.com/aHFHkNE.jpg). There is still stuff that's overdefined -- those individual bits of sand really wouldn't be that discrete at that distance, for example.

One final point is that the central element has a colorless shadow, but it should probably be blueish, since lightsource is yellowish. A quick brushover to this effect looks like a clear improvement to me.

@Wolfenoctis

Your pose drawings are of a consistent quality, the problem is that they're not advancing your skillset much. It comes down to what you feel the point of these daily studies are, but trying out different styles and body types could have the potential to help tremendously, as well as varying the kinds of faces you sketch.

SL113-166 was a refreshing example of what you're capable of. Do more things that flex your painting and form skills all-around.

I disagree

Care to explain why? I'm always grateful for advice like Prism just gave to Wolfenoctis. Even if it's just something to keep in mind. Yesterday someone close to me pointed out all my faces have my own face's feature distribution and ratios. It was something I hadn't noticed, and my gratitude was overwhelming.

For what its worth, I agree that Wolfenoctis could benefit from some studying some different body types or something. They are his own personal sketches, so what he does is up to him, but it's brought up out of good intentions, of not wanting to see a member of a community stagnate or plateau.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Gil on March 04, 2016, 11:56:43 pm
K, so the slack convinced me to elaborate. I will do so :)

Basically, first off, I don't think Wolfenoctis is "there yet" with his gestural studies. They don't feature a lot of anatomical knowledge, besides proportions, so the subject matter shouldn't matter much. Once he starts going in-depth with anatomy, I do recommend doing different body types, as idealized figures are maybe overused in teaching.

Secondly, we have a tendency in western society to go for variety when we learn something. Usually this is counter-productive and a result of a global ADHD society. Wolfenoctis is focusing on a subject (one that he hasn't mastered yet) and we shouldn't advise him to break that focus.

There is a time for flexing your art muscles, pushing that comfort zone, but focused studies is not that time. I highly doubt that a few exercises in random subject matters will improve his skill much, though it might provide insights that let him refocus his studies.

And lastly, very important, I very adamantly disagree that these studies aren't advancing his skillset much. The studies I've seen from wolfenoctis are wonderful and make me coming back to this thread. It makes me cheer him on and I think what he's doing is exactly what more people should be doing. So when someone comes in and says he's not improving his skillset doing these? I disagree :)

You can study a lot of things at once. How do you think people get to be world renowned concept artists and illustrators in their 20s? They diversify. Everyone gets by with varying levels of "good enough". You shouldn't have to perfect one thing at a time. And art is such an interconnected subject to study. Studying fruit could lead you to an epiphany about some mildly related body part that has similar overlapping forms.

Secondly, we have a tendency in western society to go for variety when we learn something. Usually this is counter-productive and a result of a global ADHD society.
This "global ADHD society" sounds like a personal theory or sore spot of yours and I'm not sure how many people would agree with its relevance to studying art. You know what I see? Comfort zones. Crutches. Laziness. Ruts. In society, I see these most often. Diligence is rare. It is not ADHD.
Quote
Wolfenoctis is focusing on a subject (one that he hasn't mastered yet) and we shouldn't advise him to break that focus.
There is no harm in offering a differing opinion to someone. Its not like he's a robot being issued commands and we need to be careful about suggestions. People have their own discretion, why would you want to seemingly shut down well intentioned advice.? I think it is fine if Wolfenoctis is offered a different perspective that causes him to question his focus.

edit: sincerest apologies for that sentence

I.. From experience I can tell you you're very wrong about the first part. Every waking moment is an opportunity to grow and to realize new things. And I highly expect a few cursory studies to the well practiced artist are substantial enough to understand new material at a usable level.

No, I will be blunt, but I just see the same anime girl. I am elated when I come to this thread and see him studying something else, like animation or environments. This was advice that should have been given a while ago but people are generally self absorbed because we are too busy. We hardly talk to each other, we just throw our art in here and leave. I don't desire this behavior, so I'll try to change on my part. I wish I'd given this same advice sooner. I wish people gave me advice like this. Good on Prism. This is how we should treat each other. With care and respect, genuinely concerned for the wellbeing and advancement of each others talent.

Both are correct of course and that is because it is the same anime girl and consistency is the point these exercises, the eventual goal being animation. I absolutely agree that varying the body types and doing other things like environments are great ways to increase skill and learn new things. However as Gil has aptly observed:
Basically, first off, I don't think Wolfenoctis is "there yet" with his gestural studies.
Indeed, there are a lot of problems that I still need to solve regarding flow, dynamism and perspective.

During the week I do full time commercial work so I'm not particularly creative at the end of the day when I do my daily sketch, so I usually just do some poses using the same character to "practice my sword arm" as it were. I generally have more free time on weekends so that is when I'm more likely to experiment and do other things. But as Atnas mentioned, maybe I'm just using it as a crutch, an excuse for my own laziness.

Maybe I should vary things up a bit...

I will take these suggestions into consideration, it is heartwarming to see these kinds of discussions and I truly appreciate everyone's input on the matter. Debating these points is a healthy and good thing for the community in general, and for me in particular.

Thank you very much :y:

Testing a technique that seems like it might be the CG equivalent of selout, for any simple alpha-transparency:

(http://i.imgur.com/3xxrpUt.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/m3nnB1F.png)

On a dark grey BG here (http://imgur.com/a/gmJ0C)

Technique is essentially to modify pixel color according to transparency level: fully opaque pixels are of color X, fully transparent of color Y, in-between levels of transparency interpolations between X and Y.

Result seems to be that the image is at least moderately visible, no matter the background color.

(that's a technical explanation. But it's easy to do with Color to Alpha, layer masks, and QMask mode.)

I'm beginning to think that I can't really keep up with this thread's guidelines.
I do 'turn out lots of different ideas and drawings over time' -- and typically finish most stuff same day
[for some value of 'finish' -- "shows what I wanted to show and is defined enough that it's easy to compose with other stuff.").
But posting same day is unlikely for anything I need to scan (ie. most things).

Anyway, I'll just quote the OP:

Quote
This thread is for posting whatever you worked on today.
It doesn't have to be finished.
It doesn't have to be good.
Any size.
Any medium.
Any style.
Any colors.
Just take some time and draw/create something!
Then show it to us.
See how many days you can post in a row without missing a day.
The idea is to turn out lots of different ideas and drawings over time.
Or if you really want, you can post the same thing again if you do more work on it the next day.
Crits and thoughts are also welcome.
But try hard to always post an image of your own along with text.
GO!
Emphasis mine ("along with text"). I think the consistency of text being posted with images is.. spotty.

Here's some of my stuff from the last 9 days

I like gel pen but it has no subtlety.

Profiles are a bit of a weak point. Mind you, I tend to think they look crappy even when executed well; that probably doesn't encourage me to get better at them.

Typography now:

(this one done over two days, unlike the others)

(http://i.imgur.com/mQJShfV.png)
Even a huge permanent marker (5mm thick at stem of "brush" area) has more subtlety than gel pen..

(http://i.imgur.com/UsJ47th.png)
Middle -> right stroke should probably get wider gradually on W.. wasn't sure how to solve that at the time.

No worries, you are free to dump multiple days all at once.

My bad if it doesn't make sense.
The part about text is to encourage people to always include an image in their posts.
Not that you should always include text.
But I see now that it can read like that.
Will edit eventually to be more clear.

Sort of. This one looks more donkey-like (stockier, shorter) than horse-like.
Eliot Goldfinger has some pretty clear diagrams -- googling "horse eliot goldfinger" (https://www.google.com.au/search?q=horse+eliot+goldfinger&tbm=isch) shows that the middle section of the head is probably too chubby and the location of eyes is a bit off.

"Get over here!"

Wolfenoctis:

Congrats reaching S-LIB 200!
I can see where all your gesture drawing is leading; that Scorpion animation's great. Along with the others.. it almost looks like a storyboard.

Hrmm about the horse. Yeah, it's pretty messed up. I was looking at a pony when I drew the original outline... bad idea. Though ponies are beautiful (something about their proportions, I can relate to all bronies in that) :P. Also, making the body fatter via warp tool made the legs end up looking  donkey-like as AI pointed out. I think the head size is ok but maybe off in perspective as Yaomon said.. idk, horses are hard.

 I decided to move on and start a new one from scratch.
Warning only spent about 2 minutes on the rider, mainly focusing on the horse for now:

I wish someone would have told me to model only with quads and keeping an eye on mesh topology before I found out the hard way, hehe.

Those 2s of video are the result of 4 days of repeatedly throwing away my work and starting over and over again.

Totally would not have expected modelling something that "simple" to be so difficult to get smooth.

Still a long way to go to a fully rigged face+body.

Might have to redo the eyelids as they're currently a separate model but if I add deformable eyebrows and other morphing face features they should be modeled as part of the face mesh to animate correctly.

(software used: Blender (still learning not just Blender itself but also all the 3D modelling/rigging/animating is new to me, so everything takes me forever and countless trying and erroring until finding something that works))

edit: now with 100% more working embed code and a fancy staged in-tool shot :P

Restarted from scratch once more and tweaked vertices all day, this time sticking to pure box modelling with the subdivision modifier and paying even more attention to mesh topology with animation in mind, trying to arrange quad stripes to follow imaginary muscle flow over the surface. Also using straight on lights from different sides to get a much better understanding of the surface curvature everywhere than just from looking at the hints from the wire-frame. Modelling with light and shadow so to speak.

The model is turning out much better this time (still far from done) due to all of that (although I'm getting some creepy Blobfish vibes from it under some camera angles and lighting conditions):

Can you give us a bit of explanation about that one Wolfenoctis? Is it a planes study or a muscles study? Why did you demarcate the edges? I ask because I think I want to try that exercise too.

I'm leaving pixel art in favour of pursuing digital drawn art as my main medium from now on. It's been fun

Here's an anatomy sketch.. My third digital piece ever actually
It comes out decent because I already have experience in traditional mediums. Took like two hours or so.

Highlights of gelpen sketches of trees/'roadscapes'. Focused on getting better perspective / center-of-vision awareness, and correct occlusion of lines -- surfaces facing sky should get less lines / semi-broken lines due to increased light. They should also get more uniform tones on their underside where applicable, but well, gel pen.

Started this to increase my tolerance for detail and duration:
(http://i.imgur.com/bZooTYh.png)
Continued it over a week and a half, a bit each day.
4H + 2H + a little 2B pencils. Very faint on paper, heavily releveled. Notice I forgot to draw in the shadow cast by the roof extension, but overall happy with picture and how it's changed my attitude.

Speed colour sketch today. Basically I'm learning how to speed up my process by laying colour/shading/form/likeness in a quick and efficient way.
Before, I was slow like a pixel artist is, learning to detail bit by bit, and experimenting, and figuring out how to shade and such, which is why I closely followed references to a sufficiently acceptable level of detail.

(http://i.imgur.com/ffxlQ83.png)

It's somehow odd to see actual pixel art in the daily sketch thread ;)

What do your preparatory sketches look like, Ashe? (re:stiffness)

Can I suggest using no aa on the white edge of the top? IMO AA adds a roundness that fights the impression of cloth; rendering of cloth in King of Fighters sprites provides some good examples here.

Overall style reminds me of Breath of Fire.


..
92 sketches in the last 12 days. Well, 92 pages, probably about 92*[average=2] = 184 drawings, 1.5Gb of PNGs. Hmm. This is getting kind of crazy, I need an additional backup system.

Something relatively technical for today:

@Wolfenoctis:
Interesting idea -- like collision detection with invisible volumes. Are those more or less straight copies with the people removed, or significant adaptations?

---

Not sure if this is Sketch or OT-thread material, but thought I should share this exercise as it's been very helpful to me:

(http://i.imgur.com/veHTo10.png)(http://i.imgur.com/ubVO9LE.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/WY4GooT.png)(http://i.imgur.com/ofUDXp3.png)

Started because I wanted to be able to think in cm, rather than a indefinite mix of cm, inches, and feet, and "measure with my eye" reasonably accurately. Expected sideeffect of better ability to draw and space objects in perspective

Basically: Get tape measure. Guess all the important dimensions of something, check the actual measurements, calculate the degree of error. Repeat. Aiming for <15% error in all dimensions, and selecting objects with a wide range of dimensions.

Was very effective. Currently using the length of my palm as my main unit (9cm) -- cause it's easy to imagine putting my hand on something and then alternating hands to measure out the dimensions. Probably need a few additional standards for smaller or bigger things - 180cm my height, 1.5cm the width of my index finger.

Errata:
* Ignore the 'exponential measurement' comment; I wasn't able to make that work.

@AI: They're straight copies with the people removed, so I don't focus on the figure but on the cloth.

@DracoDragon42:
Batch processing programs can take care of that for you automatically. I use Artscript, or more recently ImageWorsener (http://entropymine.com/imageworsener/). Both of these are for Linux mainly, though; maybe someone else has an idea of good batch processors for Windows or other platforms?  I've only heard of DBP but never tried it.

@Nagariku: if you're looking for help with pixel art, even if its a sketch, the critique forums are more suited.
@Wolfenoctis: Great clothing studies from earlier. Are you getting your clothing references from one place or just looking them each up?

Forms are getting noticably cleaner on your newer studies, wolfenoctis. You've inspired me to practice values/forms more.

(Right now, though, I'm still slugging away at stitching large scans.  Haven't really done any sketches to speak of in the last few days.)

WIP - Pixel Witch
Super new to pixel art. I tried like twice in 2014 and didn't touch the stuff since then. Haven't done a coloured piece before.
Giving it a go again, inspired by the syosa's pixels. Still pretty bad at picking my own palettes though.
Started up as a pick me up, since I was feeling super down today.

(http://i.imgur.com/ISKZW92.png)
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ai on June 10, 2016, 12:47:29 am
Elm: That's a lot of pixels. Like, 9 times the number of pixels found in Syosa's work (example: A writer and a Dragon (http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/46270.htm) : 201x225 pixels = 45,225 px, vs yours 500x800 = 400,000 px.).  If you want to take an oekaki-style approach, no problem, but if you're aiming to work on pixel technique specifically , I strongly recommend reducing the number of pixels you'll need to work over. Right now, it's more like an illustration (nice hair, btw)

Regarding picking your own palette: I'd suggest looking into MyPaint. Its HCY color selector is much more intuitive than your average HSL/HSV/RGB selector, and it also includes gamut masking, which is a really nice way of simplifying the problem of creating a unified palette (http://www.livepaintinglessons.com/gamutmask.php).

@Atnas: I haven't decided completely yet.
For small stuff I usually just start with pixels.
But trying to do sketchy stuff more just to see what I can get out of it.
Will post more like it as I make them.

@Elm: Welcome to Pixelation!  :)
Try to theme your colors more.
Tweak your palette as you go, it feels too pre-determined.
Also build a feel for the materials.
It will help you choose colors.
The size doesn't really bother me.
Still plenty of pixel level work you could do on this.
But you could definitely cover much more ground if you work on smaller pixels.

First time posting here aha.
I'm not sure if this is a wip or not because honestly with drawing in Sai I get kinda lazy and don't color-
That and plus I can kinda rush im a very slow with drawing ^^;
my only complaint with my own style is just the lineart I feel like its off somehow  :yell:
That and also sizing with canvases .o.

Basically its sorta a concept sketch of a character of mine I want to pixelate in a later date. Picture to the right I tried to imagine her what she would look like alive sorta? but then I got lazy and just yeah.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Elm on June 11, 2016, 08:05:56 am
@Ai
Ahh yes. It's pretty big, I was definitely approaching it more from a illustration eye.  I've been using PyxelEdit and I've find it to be quite comfortable for creating spritesheets, and animations. I haven't heard of MyPaint, but I'll be sure to check out the HCY selector. My colour theory is pretty awful, since I never colour anything.

@PixelPiledriver
Ahh, I love what you did with her. I'm pretty awful at colours, so I guess I didnt really have a lot in mind for it. Still a massive WIP. I really like your use of blue for the highlight. I may just have to take that on myself.  :-[

Kas, your forms have a lot of motion to them, so good job so far. I think it partly has to do with how little your lines seem to break. (even when they're different segments) That combined with the various camera angles you chose.

@Yokai: I know that video. Nice line quality! Expressive stuff.
@Jun: Nice text. These are getting really solid. Can't wait til you get your tablet.
@Wolf: That's shaping up solid wolf! I think the side run definitely needs something passing by the camera to sell it, but its cool!
@PPD: These types of multi view rotations make me so excited. I want to eat a handful of those cubes.
@Dennis: Solid construction. Looking forward to seeing many more by you. Would love to see how line hinting could help the density.
@Beast: Your figures are shaping up, it's great to see you going back to constructing them from geometric shapes.
@Ambivorous: Where you been!? And neat sketch. You have to post another if you want to answer this! :P Next time stroke the hair into existence?
@DatPixelArtistTho: Hey that's striking. I'd love to see a lineup in that style. Study arm proportion a little.
@A2J2TIWARI: I hope we get to see more of this as you work on it. I think letting that white outline eat into the contour of the bot where there are gaps in the panelling could help.

@Prism: Late Thank You! I gotta post a sketch to respond. Your landscape studies are nice.

I typically draw featureless, faceless people floating in space. I'm now finally trying to work on heads and framing. (Being able to constrict what I draw into a given space. Like say... a comic panel.)

My ref is uh... less than tasteful at the moment. I'm using it because of the really extreme perspective the photos have.

Here's more or less a framing success.

Decent head:

I'm doing construction line stuff too, don't worry. I'm switching off between pen, brush pen and pencil. They're teaching me different things, but switching to brush pen tonight forced the most out of me I think. Hopefully back to better line quality next time!

Heyyy! I can try my best to help you and stuff for the colors. Honestly coloring can be a difficult thing-
Especially with skin since finding colors with skin that can make it really pop out as to say-

Firstly since your pixel size is a bit small I think the kinda shading that you did do was pretty spot on of course I think for since a small pixel like that it can be pretty difficult to shade with colors so close to each other without making them look all blended-

I think I would pick colors that are just maybe a bit different not too different but perhaps a bit brighter to be able to distinguish them-
I would also recommend to follow your light source as it seems a bit off on the left arm leaning down as well as its fingers.
Your shoulders and chest area is also missing a proper light source.

And for your hair I would recommend some sort of highlights?

Also I'd like to know the concept for the eyes im curious  :) 

I hope this helps!

Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ai on July 03, 2016, 03:11:10 pm
MyPaint
Krita
GIMP
Inkscape, if vectors is what you want.

Probably others (Drawpile? And some pixelling programs like MTPaint support pressure sensitivity). That's just off the top of my head. I use all four of the ones I listed at the top.

Thank you,Yokai90.
I was thinking about the chest/shoulder shading just now.
I will let the hair for later,i'm scared of hair shading haha,about
the eyes i dont know if i do then closed or something like it was now,
its sort of a meditating/enlightened guy connecting with space/cosmos
and that kind of stuff.
I've done some progress,starting to figure better colors i think.

@beetleking: Outstanding atmosphere :)

Today:
[Architectural modelling - Blender]
(https://s25.postimg.org/xn8drzlxr/image.png)

Things I learnt while doing this:
* For a simple box volume (or something that has an equally obvious relation to bounding box, like cylinder, sphere, torus, cone), use the Dimensions section just under Scale, in the right panel (Object mode)

* Learn to set the origin (select a vertex, then 'Snap Cursor to Selected', exit edit mode, Ctrl+Shift+Alt+c, Origin to 3d Cursor). For example, placing the origin on the side of an object facing the wall means that when you scale it, it will grow 'away' from the wall rather than expanding through it.

* Use the heck out of x/y/z (axis locking keys during transforms), Ctrl (snap), Ctrl+Shift(Finer snap). And the Ruler/Protractor tool (in GreasePencil tab in left panel). Also GreasePencil (for things you have measurements for but don't want to put in yet)

* Edit the parameters of the last operation (eg. Translate, Extrude) in the bottom left panel. This means you can input exact measurements (extrude along an axis by whatever random amount, then edit in the amount you actually want) to get precisely the lengths you want. Another example is duplicating line(s)/vertex(es) and then adjusting the distances (to establish known locations of corners, without needing to work out all the inbetween topology to get there.

In the recent past:

maybe think for a second what it would entail if more people started coming to this activity thread which is intended for ephemeral content specifically for critique like you have done,

I'm sorry you are not happy with the critique you have received.

This is also not a solution to the problem that caused you to come to this thread, but perhaps try coming to the pixelation slack. We have a critique channel for quick crits.

for anyone in this thread who does want to critique this pepper: http://pixelation.org/index.php?topic=20466.0

Apologies for not posting a sketch.

I keep an semi-organized collection of any text I've drawn that I particularly liked. Yesterday I started thinking about posting some of it on r/penmanshipporn/ (https://reddit.com/r/penmanshipporn) -- pushed around some thumbnails in the image viewer, creating semi-absurd phrases, and then took this note:

(https://s25.postimg.org/5p5sbkslr/misc_7.png) (stylus: Fax pen)

Limit of about 1.5mm-tall for legible text with average-width point seems to still be holding.

also more onions
(https://s25.postimg.org/q7w32wh5b/misc_2.png)

Do the above two images show up grayed-out to anyone else? I've tried viewing them separately (still grey), and downloading them + viewing with sxiv (lines are properly black). I think it might be a browser issue. (I'm using Firefox 47.0.1 on Arch Linux x86_64, FWIW)

EDIT: Fixed (and verified as occurring also on Chrome) with PPD's generous help. Seems to be associated with PNGs that don't have a gamma level specified; Choosing to save the gamma level when exporting the file fixes it (but presumably the actual bug is either in libpng or the browser color management code)

(http://orig15.deviantart.net/6b89/f/2016/189/7/4/hand_study_by_boogie45-da9adzd.png)

This originally started out as a hand study. Which honestly, I haven't drew a hand at least realistically anyways at least a long while ago or never?

Then I decided hey lets draw a nose and paint that I probably need to improve on drawing noses-

Then I drew a clown nose...

And it kinda got sidetracked and just played around lol.

Also forgot to say thanks to anyone that commented on my last little doodles.
Glad you like them!

Thanks Wolfenoctis. It's great to see some full-fledged traditional 2D animation being worked on... Looks amazing so far.

Made something sketchy. I got lazy on it because once I started to draw the clothes, particularly, the neck piece over the body sketch, I realized it killed the pose by obfuscating the neck and shoulders; so I didn't think putting much time into it would be worthwhile. The pose actually looked good until I added that collar I thought.

Jun was watching for a bit while I made these but I guess he got bored with my dilettantism eventually and just left without another word. Was still fun. :D

Have not managed to capture any of the refs likenesses yet. I wonder if I'll ever beat all the inaccurate angles and feature sizes(I seem to have a tendency to draw the eyes/nose/mouth/ears always bigger than they are in relation to everything else) and light/shadow errors out of my system. Should go back to drawing basic building blocks or to making only very slow paced structural studies for a while.

Every iteration is looking nicer and nicer, Wolfe. I do have some feedback regarding the close shot of her face - it's pretty static, and cold probably use some gesture changes to give the animation a bit more life.

Since she twirls and fires to her sides, maybe her eyes should shift to the left and right? As if she was scoping out some Kabane as targets or whatever. Or she could smirk, blink, etc...

It's fanart of a 12 year old girl from an anime last season called kabaneri of the iron fortress, she's in general naive about everything, because she's 12 years old.

@A2J2TIWARI: The character is very carefree in the anime, often smiling and seeming oblivious to the danger she is in, of course she does have supernatural strength and agility and you get the impression that she is "playing" with the kabane since they are too slow and stupid to keep up with her.

I'm not sure what to think of the cloud slow-scrolling on the third scene instance, or the cloud choices used. And also, anywhere else, really.

There's too many clouds. It's distracting and noisy.
Ground is too noisy as well on the first scene. I was expecting something more dynamic when the animation was by itself.

The scrolling really feels off for some reason.

In the first scene, you could try slowing it a bit.

In the third scene, I'd suggest a different and more dynamic layout, to aim the eyes into the character as she flies through the air. Composition matters, everywhere.

Ground and distant forest could do with improvements as well, especially the ground when she leaps. Play around the shadow before the leap, as well as having the ground zoom out accordingly at the right timing.

take my time XD
This took me about 4 days and the whole process was lengthy but I think it was worth it.

got a smudgeguard. Fuck. it helps loads. As soon as spring came around I stopped being able to draw digitally as well, turns out it was bc ive worn down the coating on the cintiq so much that the change in temperature was causing my hand to stick to the now less-than-smooth surface.

Hey Atnas, my own Cintiq still has the screen looking like new because I picked the habit of always drawing with one of those smooth wipes that often come with glasses. Been doing it ever since the start because I've used it often in hot climates, and resting the hand on the hot screen overheats it, plus the sticking and body sweat.

The thing is that using a sliding cushion like that improves my drawing speeds considerably. I can do clean smooth strokes from edge to edge with my hand resting comfortably on the screen.

Ah, yeah, I assume the smudgeguard will prevent further deterioration too, except for from the pen itself. I'm tempted to peel off the original coating (they actually replaced it in the winter when I sent it in for repairs, but I destroyed it in 6 months again) with an off brand one that isn't as grainy. I was also using one of those microfiber cloths for glasses to clean it about twice a day, and a clorox wipe every day before work, but whatever else I was doing caused the entire middle area to have a rough feeling from just using it all day. I suppose in your case, never touching the screen with your hand has preserved it... But I also wonder, how often do you change your nibs?

Every time I draw, it's as if I'm wiping the screen, technically.

But that's the other strange thing. I've only ever used three nibs- In other words, I never change them unless one day I think I kind of have to, for who knows what reason. The last one, I changed it to an older white nib, because I like how it looks on the black pen.

@Vagrant: Thanks for the feedback  :y:, I agree that the current cloud setup is too noisy. I plan to redraw them more sparse and closer to the horizon and see how it looks. The backgrounds are in a rough state atm, I wanted to try out some experiments before I commit to them fully.

@yokai
You put it under the side of your hand when drawing, traditionally to avoid smudging your drawing, though in this case it is to prevent you from rubbing out your tablet (or however you phrase it).

@yokai

just anything that acts as a barrier between skin and the cintiq, because if your hand sticks to the tablet, it means you cant draw with your arm, and kind of have to pivot around on sticky flesh.

I bought the 2 finger version from this site: http://www.smudgeguard.com/

Vagrant just uses a microfiber cloth folded up under his hand like the kind that they give you when you get glasses.

YOu could try to take out some of the contrast in the trees (brighter green highlights could use some darkening9 and generally you could move the green more owards blue.

Also the contrest in the clouds seems to be quite high.
Maybe get riid of the dark 2 blues in them and keep them more white.

If trees and clouds look more like silhouettes they should detract a lot less from the awesome char animation.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Atnas on July 25, 2016, 11:41:58 pm
yeah, the background art looks like art made for a game, not for an animation. it even has a visible palette! and it tiles, and is locked to a flat horizon.

Also the speedlines? on the ground dont work, it looks odd to jump to it from the detailed ground and back again, and when they're shown together in the side run, they're different colors, and the line at the top of the speedline ground is jarring.

check out https://www.reddit.com/r/BackgroundArt/top/?sort=top&t=all , there's some great examples of backgrounds made in a way that does not detract from a character moving in front of it.

@||||: Thanks, maybe when I get a little better at it I will try making some videos. Right now I'm just experimenting with brush settings, mostly just using the hard round and soft round brushes and playing with scattering, spacing, angle jitter and roundness jitter settings with both opacity and flow set to pen pressure.

Did some relaxed sketching with a friend yesterday, so here's some stuff to make everyone else look better. ;)
I should probably do this more often if I ever want to get competent at this.

The left is whatever; The right is a non-serious pokemon evolution chain based on mantises where butterflies somehow got added in as well.

A little more serious, this a mech thing that I had an idea for for a while. The shading on the actual sketch looks slightly better.

Been a hell of a long time since I used to post here, and even then it wasn't regularly or anything. Decided to get back into the swing of things and finally start working on some games and pixels and stuff. Some doodles:

(http://i.imgur.com/3TvYtpT.png)

(http://i.imgur.com/sWLCUDH.png)

Started cleaning this one up and decided he looked too human, so I doodled some more alien looking variants and goofed off. He's supposed to be a humanoid alien that's kinda dumpy and out of shape. A grumpy packrat sorta guy who wanders the backwoods of space looking for derelicts and wrecks to scavenge for scrap parts and salvage. Wanna make a mildly metroid-ish game with him cause I like the notion of having the player cast as a character who is not equipped to handle a game like that, so you'd be trying to just keep the guy alive, killing a few enemies and avoiding most of them instead of rampaging through caverns blasting things. This guy would not survive Zebes.

Boss fights would be about trying to escape, not trying to kill it.

EDIT: more exploring. Think the bottom left guy looks like a winner...

Post by: 0xDB on August 20, 2016, 08:32:48 pm
Yeah the chunky one on the bottom left turned out really good, like he could be the star in a Pixar movie.

I noticed that in most of my "gestures" I am still trying way too much to just very quickly capture contour or center lines and major masses and focusing too much on details which causes them to look... well not like gestures but mostly like uncontrolled messes of sloppily thrown down impressions without really looking for the flows/rhythms that connect the masses/features.

So... I tried to slow down a bit, taking more time for each, starting with 120s as a base and spending more time looking at the model to find rhythms before starting to put them down and then when I did not finish within the 120s I just allowed myself to take more time to finish instead of stressing out and getting even more frustrated about not finishing within the time limit:

From imagination(not having put in proper anatomy studies yet), started doodling a head then added neck, torso, legs, banana, arms (in that order) not thinking or knowing how the whole pose would turn out as I moved from part to part and only decided how to pose each individual limb when I got to it. And that is NOT how it's done, should have thought of the pose first(whole slipping on a banana thing was just as invented on the fly as everything else) and should have made a gesture drawing which would have tied everything together... (yeah... it's crap, still posting it, if just to preserve proof to how much I sucked to look back at after achieving mastery in 20+ years from now):

I know "we" said we'd just post without comment when we devised our secret plan for world domination but I need to add this description for the image below does not make much sense without.

First drew some (totally wrong) simplifications from imagination to capture where my current raw understanding(or lack of it) of feet was/is. Then eyeballed feet from page 186 in Loomis' "Figure Drawing For All It's Worth" and attempted to find some simplified rules/structure in them. Of course this does not mean I am done or that I could now draw feet from imagination accurately. Feels good to do some targeted studies though as opposed to just pumping out loads of drawings and never really analyzing them:

Based on this (http://senshistock.deviantart.com/art/Nap-Pose-Reference-for-Drawing-612058061). Got slightly more serious with art stuff, so I tried drawing a skeleton. Spinal proportions are certainly off (the line through the face is where I estimated the head to end) and I accidentally gave her a 13th thoracic vertebra. I also just noticed that the left fibula ends at the wrong side of the foot distally. Oh well.

exercise 1C from Nicolaides The Natural Way To Draw (for some reason... it never says to do 1B but 1B is the same according to the included schedule)

Nicolaides' "gesture" exercise differs from Proko's "gesture" instruction. Proko's is about simplification of the rhythms through things via mainly C, S and I curves which leads to a clean result while Nicolaides' is about scribbling down the figure almost without ever lifting the pencil from the paper. Since I have not yet read the book in full, I don't know whether Nicolaides will move on to something similar later. It's a bit strange to see the same term "gesture" used for different ways of looking at a thing, especially since Proko recommends Nicolaides' book in some video.

Should it worry me that the blind contour exercise I did while being mildly drunk resulted in something much more readable than any of the blind contours I did while being sober? Nah... it's probably just coincidence or rather a first sign of improvement from all the practice and not related to the beer.

The rest of yesterday's batch:

There are some "potential gestures" in there which are similar to gestures but instead of capturing the pose exactly as seen, one is required to capture an imaginary pose which the model might transition into next.

@DB32: Really like that last gorilla -- very expressive! I've looked at Nicolaides before but felt he was kind of guru-ish in that I wasn't satisfied that I knew roughly why a particular exercise was on the plan. Looks like his exercises are working for you though.

I've been mostly working on text recently.

Today's batch: The third image is "flash pose" exercise which is like gesture but instead of looking at the pose while doing the gesture, one just looks for 1 or 2 seconds and then captures the gesture from imagination based on that short "flash" impression.

@AI: Uninterrupted 3h blocks are not strictly necessary but yes, you need to make a lot of time to work with Nicolaides' book. He says somewhere in the beginning that he assumes readers will take at least a year or so to do the exercises. Whether my steam will reach that far remains to be seen.

@0xDB: I see he says there are a few ways you can divide up time. I understand how you can apply the 14 x 1-hour option, but it seems that the 7 x 2-hour option would make responding to 'Draw according to schedule X' prompts a little odd, since some of A would become part of B, some of C would become part of D, etc.

Anyway, I've started (1 hour done of schedule 1C today, after tons of frustration about materials), but it's out of order.
The first "draw from schedule XYZ" I encountered was schedule 1C -- which surprised me, but after quickly reading back, I didn't find any other ones, and concluded it was a strategy to surprise the student. So I did 1C.

Now reviewing more carefully, I see the prompt to do 1A is attached to a diagram of some apples. Definitely not clear.

A prompt to do 1B seems entirely AWOL, not occurring between pages 13 [the prompt for 1A] and 20 [the prompt for 1C]. Have I missed it?

For the mean time, I'll just use my judgement based on the idea that he does in fact intend the order to be A B C D E.

Sorry no pics, it's nearly midnight.

@AI: Yeah, the prompt for 1B appears to be missing. I did not do it because I thought it might appear later, but I think the important thing is to just draw a lot. Most exercise blocks inside a single schedule are very similar if not entirely equal, so the gist of it is: draw/drill. I do not always manage to keep my focus all the way to the end of the three hours, so I take longer breaks here and there or just split the time however it fits. I have even cut the 1h blind contour exercise short by as much as 30m on one day. It does not seem to matter as long as the practice is somewhat regular and plentiful.

Wanted to rest my drawing hand today but felt a strong urge to draw, so still did a few untimed but lose and fast gestural observations of hands outside of the Nicolaides schedule (also to practice with the tablet again which is very different from pencil and paper because of the disconnect between drawing surface and screen... though I feel like especially the blind contour exercise helps with adapting to that as a neat side effect):

today's batch of studies:

There is a new type of exercise in there, called "weight" exercise. I had heard of gesture, contour, blind contour and cross contour before starting to read Nicolaides but I had never heard of the "weight" exercise before.

"weight" exercise description inside spoiler:
He describes it (in my own highly condensed words) as modelling the figure in the paper space (and imaginary paper space, think 3D) like a lump of clay, handling the pigment emitter (he recommended lithography crayon which I don't have, so I tried charcoal first which is way too dark and then decided to use the same 3B graphite pencil as for everything else so far but working with the long side of the graphite instead of the pointy tip and with careful variation of pressure) like something that spawns "weight" into a hollow imaginary volume(of the observed object/figure), filling out the masses from the inside, working from center to surface, imagining going into and out of depth as well as moving up, down, left, right (so it's all about thinking volume, mass, weight, NOT silhoutte or contour or surface or gesture) and going from light to dark, putting darkness where one feels the most weight.

After doing the "weight" exercises, I read the exercise description again: pretty sure I practiced them a bit wrong, putting darkness not just where I felt "weight" but also where I presumed "tension".

Post by: Ai on September 14, 2016, 05:53:41 am
@0xDB: could you spoiler at least the description of the exercise? I suspect I'm not meant to be reading that yet, interesting as it sounds. I'll be doing the same once I get to 2A and onwards.
(I really appreciate that Nicolaides is a thoughtful teacher here, and understands that frontloading on information can have a stifling effect.
That said, I did skip to the last page and then rewind til I found the final schedule, just so I could figure out how many 3-hour sets there were in total. I found the answer acceptable)

Gesture gets me absurdly pumped up physically (I think I got maybe 2-3 hours of sleep last night, but I feel totally fine, fantastic even.. it's quite bizarre.). The 'really feel the action' part of it is like.. theatre, without worrying about an audience. Each drawing is like a little sprint.

(sorry, no pics yet. I do have more, but the logistics of photographing meters and meters of drawings requires some thought.. I'm thinking maybe a wire-mesh bedframe plus excessive amounts of clothes pegs. Or I could just hang them on the clothesline, which would be vaguely surreal.)

@Ryumaru: (potential book spoiler)
I'm still unsure whether I'm doing the "weight" exercise correctly (which is what results in those "silhouettes"... actually pretty sure if they look like silhouettes only then I'm doing the exercise wrong).

The mind is having a hard time resisting an urge to model/construct volumes or to shade and thinking light/shadow as usual  according to what I "know"(I have to actively force myself to not draw upon previous experience when doing the exercises in the book, none have been about creating something that accurately represents the observed thing so far as a picture but about capturing other aspects of the things/figures). Also still jumping between thinking "tension" and "weight", so the results are a bit inconsistent... which is ok though, if there's one thing I've learned from that book so far, it is that the results of all of these studies are not important (even meant to be thrown away afterwards). The important thing about these studies are the thoughts and insights that come to mind while doing the exercises, all aiming towards building a kind of understanding that goes beyond looking at the mere appearance of a thing, to develop an understanding that includes feeling the things, perhaps even being the things.

Not sure if someone with your level of draftsmanship could get anything from the book though, you already seem to have it all "figured"(pun totally intended) out. And yeah "natural"... the results certainly don't look natural but I feel like after only two weeks with the book, I'm already starting to get a glimpse of where Nicolaides is going with this.

Very different than any other instructional book I've read before. I'm thinking the "natural" aims at the process to go through, the things to do to gain an understanding which is deeper than memorizing some facts. Also think that everyone has their own nature and what feels natural to Nicolaides, does not necessarily have to feel natural for anyone else... BUT... book says he worked successfully as a teacher using these methods for 15 years, so... it might not be a total waste of time.

Too bad he's not alive, so questions to clarify intent behind certain exercises can't be asked, nor can one find confirmation about doing them "right" but here also, I feel by the way he writes that he's the kind of guy who puts more importance into students making their own observations and feeling their way through it than into spoonfeeding them information and demanding them to memorize it.

@0xDB: I think you actually did describe why it is 'natural':
"to develop an understanding that includes feeling the things, perhaps even being the things. "

i.e. it is about understanding and sympathizing with things (==grasping their nature), rather than replicating their surface appearance.

The other sense of 'natural' (feels comfortable) I think is generally overrated, especially in the context of learning -- comfort mostly comes from familiarity IME.


I'm keeping up with Nicolaides, though I still don't have much time to photograph the results. Latest contour:
(https://s25.postimg.org/aw27cfw0f/DSCF3359.png)
Pretty happy with the sensitivity of the bushes. Overall I'd like to work on completeness of the plane (that is, trace contours out to the edge of the picture plane / paper promptly, so the overall layout of the space is complete before detailing sub-spaces.)

Also I do a lot of labels, so a little compilation of recent ones:

@PPd: \o/

new Nicolaides exercise type is:
Called "modelled drawing". Similar to the "weight" and "cross contour" exercises, combining the two by first quickly bulking in the masses but without darkening like before, just preparing a rough base, then cross contouring over it vertically and horizontally, applying more pressure (gets darker) where surface curves into depth(away from us) and less pressure where surface curves out of depth (towards us), while imagining to touch the model and feeling the volumes as in the cross contour exercise. I dub this the "pillow shading" exercise because of the similarity of the results to that frowned-upon shading technique... but it has its' use, builds a deeper understanding of surface curvature, thinking about modelling the figure with clay again.

random thought:
Forcing the mind to ignore light and shadow for the "modelled drawing" exercise really causes one to analyze and think about surface curvatures, where it sinks in, where it rises, in relation to the core of the volume it's on.

No Nicolaides today, just keeping the digital hand warm with a couple of 60s gestures trying different fat brushes for a change.

new "gesture" variant
(the "stick" figures in the middle) in these from exercise called "memory drawing": basically stare at three gestures for 30s each, then try to draw all three from memory within 60s(20s per gesture)...during the staring phase don't intellectualize the poses and make no attempt to formalize any kind of system to memorize them, just try to feel them with the whole body and draw from the (muscle) memory of the feelings in the drawing phase

straying from the
"modelled drawing" technique a bit here, using "cross contour" hints into eyeballed "contour" (proportions are a bit off especially in upper body/arms but I'm not trying to measure too accurately because measuring hasn't been in the book yet and I'm trying to force myself to forget what I "know" to work with the book)

Kasumi: ty

new gesture exercise variant is:
"moving action"(bottom eight ones) where the practice is to look at looping footage of a changing pose or life action for 180s and drawing multiple impressions of the movement action in place
(https://abload.de/img/2016_09_21_nicolaidesveu8t.png)


I am taking the liberty to
at least rough in the outlines for the "modelled drawing" exercises now even though arriving at an accurate representation is not the point of the exercise. If there's anything that remotely resembles anatomy at this point it is bound to be inaccurate and it is the result of feeling the figure as the exercise demands by modelling it like clay with the medium, going over the cross-contours in all directions and increasing pressure where a surface appears to curve away and not a result of actively trying to model any anatomy knowledge(which I don't have yet and won't have for a long time... anatomy seems to come in really late in the book, so maybe in half a year or even more).

@PPD: Thanks! I might, after I finally finish my current font-related project.

@0xDB: So are you journalling some of this stuff? I've started to, cause I found I was having some interesting thoughts I wanted to come back to later - for example, whether there might be merit in a color-coding [not actual color] contour exercise, to separate the 'feel's of different objects. Or more recently,
(http://s25.postimg.org/vetf6iifj/cross_contour.png)

After recovering from an illness, I've just finished schedule 1E. Adopted a more 'bony' approach to gesture exercise - I felt previous attempts to feel where muscle pushed out and stretched didn't really help me sympathize properly with the gesture, so I would find the gesture but then lose it (particularly when mindful of 'move rapidly'! I think that most attempts to really follow that resulted in sculpting of minor rather than major muscle tensions, or worse, vaguely contour-following wibble.)

@Wolf: interesting crayony effect; I really love the effect they give on textured paper. I think you are using PS? I'm hoping to find a way to get that effect digitally (probably in Krita I guess, MyPaint is philosophically opposed to using bitmaps as input.)

For me, a few of yesterday's Nicolaides stuff, and a bit of the obligatory precision/design practice that typography is:

Fairly consistently happy with gesture now. This writing is also based off gesture (and the standard brush-work motto "think carefully, stroke decisively")

the current Nicolaides schedule...
appears to introduce a new exercise in every block... "descriptive poses" is new which I had to adapt to working from myself as ref lacking a model. In the original exercise one is supposed to tell a model how to pose verbally, then first draw that pose from imagination and then again using the model in the pose as understood from the description as reference.

I will finish Nicolaïde's 2E schedule today and move on to schedule 3. There's a fair bit of organization involved!

(I do little label things that I fold over the media for each exercise, eg "2E:3 E2 x 15", and queue up the media for a few subschedules at once, collecting them in order so I can just take the item on the top, read it and go.
Based on experience so far, I'll queue up all materials of schedule 3 at once (and maybe schedule 4))

A few scenic gestures:
(http://s25.postimg.org/pej5pivnz/DSCF3361.png)

My view of gesture has evolved several times.
Currently, I consider it as showing an object's paths through space, and something that should always be "drawn-through" because of this
(developing a strong sense of perspective attenuation and ability to estimate hidden masses in objects). The emotional element Nicolaides emphasizes is highly effective as a tool and you should definitely use it whenever possible.. but, it is not *true* —
it merely is a way of getting away from 'layouting' into 'sympathizing with the processes of an object's creation'
This view of gesture shares a lot with the cross-contour exercise, of course, since you typically aim to bisect a volume along the line of greatest tension.

It's strictly necessary when doing this, and all other exercises so far, to keep in mind: stay away from representationalism. The point of study is to *learn*. A tidy result may indicate your method is converging on solid theoretical basis, or it may just indicate that you are trying to draw what you see, rather than attempting to see through it. When you think 'ah, this looks good!' — forget that! Ask 'does this make me think about what is true?'


Part of my collection of improvised pencil holders [I usually get pencils down to about 1.5cm long before discarding them.)
(http://s25.postimg.org/eqfeqolov/DSCF3363.png)
(the shaped gel-pen type is really good -- they have threads on the inside so it's dead easy to just screw the pencil in)

I also made a flash-pose helper script, which I'll put inside
Shell script functions that enforce the 'flash' part of flash pose automatically. Depends on bash (of course), xdotool, and utimer.

Code: [Select]
# show pose for this time
FLASHPOSE_SEEN=5
# plus this (time for the image to load)
LOADING_TIME=3

# Go to specified desktop,
#  cycle sxiv to next image,
#  wait for FLASHPOSE_SEEN+LOADING_TIME seconds.
# Then come back to current desktop.
#
# It's expected that you will execute this from a terminal
#  on a different desktop/workspace than your image viewer.
#
# It's also assumed for simplicity that only one image viewer window exists on that desktop,
#  and that it is in 'view' mode rather than thumbnail mode.
#
# Adjust the search key 'sxiv' or the advance key 'space' if needed.
# I recommend using xev to determine what keysym the relevant key produces.

flashpose_step () {
local DESKTOP=$1
local SAVEDDESK=$(xdotool get_desktop)
xdotool set_desktop "$DESKTOP"
xdotool search --desktop $DESKTOP sxiv key space sleep $((FLASHPOSE_SEEN+LOADING_TIME))
xdotool set_desktop $SAVEDDESK
}

# sound files used by below functions. YOU WILL NEED TO SET THESE TO FILES THAT EXIST ON YOUR SYSTEM
# (if you want sound).

GETREADY=/usr/share/sounds/KDE-Im-Contact-Out.ogg
GO=/home/kau/zgi/_mine/sfx/simple/timeup.wav
ELAPSED=/usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-App-Positive.ogg
DONE="/media/k_exthd/zgi/chip2/sms/mp3/Shinobi - Stage Complete.ogg"

# you can change this to "alias mfx=true" if you don't want sfx.
# or to reference some other commandline media player if you prefer.

alias mfx='mpv -really-quiet'

sfx-done () {
  mfx "$DONE"
}

sfx-elapsed () {
  mfx "$ELAPSED"
}

sfx-ready-go () {
  mfx "$GETREADY" "$GETREADY" "$GO"
}


# Given a repetition count, a duration in seconds, and a desktop number:
#
#  * Prompt the user audially to get ready
#  * for N repetitions:
#    * Perform a 'flashpose_step' using the specified desktop number
#    * Count down the remaining time
#    * Cue the user audially that the period finished
#  * Cue the user audially that the entire set finished
#
# NOTE: Currently we block while playing audio. This means that we wait until
#       the audio file finishes playing before continuing the loop.
#       For this reason I prefer to keep the 'elapsed' audio file short in duration.

flashpose_seq () {
local N=$1
local DURATION=$2
sfx-ready-go
for V in $(seq 1 "$N")
do
flashpose_step $3
utimer -c $((DURATION-FLASHPOSE_SEEN-LOADING_TIME))
sfx-elapsed
done
sfx-done
}


You can save that as a file and then source it, then type eg "flashpose_seq 15 58 4" to do 15 flash poses with 58s time/pose, with the image viewer on desktop 4.

PS: the forum "underline" function is unfriendly - it blocks unicode input. "ï" is U+00EF, which on Linux is entered via Ctrl+Shift+U EF Enter.

Scripts are nice. I also have been using scripts to assist myself in timing various exercises. I have not automated the "pick and show reference" step though, so I just use the scripts to time things(it talks to me via text-to-speech) and manually run the source material through a randomized slideshow with an image viewer (xnview).

Mine is a two-piece script, one is just a progress bar, the other (exchangeable) one contains the schedule itself which can be redefined for different exercises.

progbar.sh
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash

# simple timer with progress bar using zenity, notify-send and espeak
# usage example: progbar.sh 60 "title" "message"

# init variables
COUNT=$1
TITLE=$2
TASK=$3

START=$COUNT

SAY="for ${COUNT} seconds, do ${TASK}"
espeak "${SAY}" &                                                        # announce task via text to speech

until [ "$COUNT" -eq "0" ]; do                                                             # loop count to 0
((COUNT-=1))                                                                             # decrement count
PERCENT=$((100-100*COUNT/START))                                                         # calc percentage
HOURS=$(($COUNT/3600))                                                                   # calc hours
MINUTES=$((($COUNT-$(($HOURS*3600)))/60))                                                # calc minutes
SECONDS=$(($COUNT % 60))                                                                 # calc seconds
echo "# "$TASK"... "$HOURS"h:"$MINUTES"m:"$SECONDS"s left"                               # update zenity message
echo $PERCENT                                                                            # update zenity bar
sleep 1                                                                                  # sleep 1 s
done | zenity --title=$TITLE --progress --percentage=0 --text=$TASK --auto-close           # zenity progress bar

if [ $? = 1 ]; then exit 1; fi                                                             # skip notify if cancelled

notify-send "${TASK} completed."                                                           # show notification

scheduleMemoryDrawing.sh
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash

REPEATS=8
R=0

# define tasks
# seconds "taskname"

TASKS=(
   30 "look at pose one"
   30 "look at pose two"
   30 "look at pose three"
   60 "draw poses"
   
)

until [ "${R}" -eq "${REPEATS}" ]; do
((R+=1))
MSG="in tasks repeat ${R} of ${REPEATS}"
echo "${MSG}"
#espeak "${MSG}"
for (( i = 0; i < ${#TASKS[@]} ; i+=2 )); do
        run="./progbar.sh ${TASKS[i]} \"currently\" \"${TASKS[i+1]}\""
eval $run
EC=$?
if [ $EC = 1 ]; then
        MSG="schedule cancelled"
echo "${MSG}"
espeak "${MSG}" &
exit 1
fi
done
done

MSG="schedule finished"
echo "${MSG}"
espeak "${MSG}" &
exit 0

So for example with the "Memory Drawing" exercise, I first open xnview, set the slideshow interval to 30000ms, then I hit enter on the shell to run the schedule for that and at the same time click to start the randomized slideshow in xnview so that both processes are roughly synchronized (100% precision is not necessary for stuff like this).

In the "moving action" exercise I have a task of 10 seconds to give me time to jump to another random clip in vlc-player playlist and setting the player to repeat the current item.

Did not really write these scripts specifically for Nicolaides. In fact, I don't remember what I originally wrote them for but they're sufficiently versatile and adjustable to be used for anything that involves doing any number of things repeatedly.

Just so that this post is not without any image, I believe I did not post this here yet(watercolor pencils and a tiny bit of opaque white for water splashes):

@0xDB: Thanks for the demo. Progress bar is an interesting idea and I'll keep it in mind. I use a bunch of other helpers, nothing too helpful for specifically Nicolaides. I do use TMSU (http://tmsu.org/) to categorize/search by tag, you might be interested in that -- I find it more satisfactory than solutions that attempt to store tags in the file itself.

modelled drawing with ballpoint.. sounds like an interesting challenge. Probably easier in warmer temperatures. I figure I will catch up to you eventually. Hoping the required amount of paper gradually reduces in future schedules -- 170 pages just for gesture per schedule is nothing to sneeze at.

----

Nothing much has been happening on the drawing front for me in the last week, for reasons including but not limited to: being sick, ridiculous quantities of rain and wind, and doing maintenance necessitated by the latter while affected by the former.
Also prepping stuff for next Nicolaides schedule (using up various inconvenient formats of paper means I have to do my own cutting. I have an efficient routine.. it's just a lot less efficient when doing so little is so tiring ;))

Still somewhat sick but plan to get first 4 slots of Nicolaides 3a done tomorrow.

So uh, for this one I have some trees, and tones, and tree tones, even.

Also a rather odd portrait from imagination. More of a test of media, really -- this is a HB pencil with chisel tip. Works rather like a knife in that you get a gradient between sharpness and blending according to relation to the 'blade' axis.

@Mathias: Those 'rilla sketches are really nice, especially the first (colored) one. Now we're just waiting for Jun to finish his and we can move on to the next topic.

Beginning with schedule 5B in Nicolaides, one is supposed to do a "daily composition", scribbling down something one has seen recently(preferably on the same day) into a ~5x7 inch (mine are 12x16cm instead) area from memory in up to 15 minutes (in addition to other exercises on that day) in the same fast and lose manner as in the regular gestures.

@0xDB: though I chronically use A4 for everything, the larger size does help feel out gestures easier, IME. Am considering getting A3 in semi-bulk (500 sheets -> $10), as they are suitably sized ( a little bigger than the suggested 10x15")

This weight exercise is informational, bit of a slog though.

Sometimes, you like the current state of the drawing so much that you simply stop after twelve minutes of scribbling instead of going the full sixty minutes as originally planned (of course, it may also be the craving-to-continue-playing-Dark-Souls-2 growing too strong to be left untreated).

Tired today, getting up a tree and sawing bits off can do that.

Anyway some recent gestural stuff, not from Nicolaides, more experimental. I felt it could help to go along a more pure 'spatial thumbnailing' kind of direction

6B for this more planar/space definition stuff, plants, things that have an excuse to be excessively flowy. I have moved to 2b for Nicolaides gesture exercises, as it seems to be more helpful for making properly rigid pelvises and diaphragms. No pictures right now, but I guess I'm headed in the general direction of Bridgman -- after hitting the really basic gesture, wedging mildly-bendy triangles of volume together is doing the best job at creating solid, natural, sanely proportioned limbs. Also developing a few semi standard gestures for shoulders -- really the same basic idea of finding the places where anatomical features are tightly packed, since they are the most constrained areas -> force concentrates there, they lead the gesture, looser features tend to simply follow them.
(I can spoiler that stuff if desired. Not intended as instruction or suggestion, just journalling)

Had some media issues getting modelling exercise working how I thought it should. Test drawings minus the uninteresting ones:

(https://s25.postimg.org/6ztihqcwf/800_hi_21.png)
Ended up using 6b pencil for mass, extra soft charcoal for modelling.
Still want a way to apply broader pigmentation (when I consider the blended appearance of the samples shown for this exercise, I think that the 'lots of threads' construction shown by 0xDB may not match the overall intent of the exercise)
Digital is honestly much superior here (layers and layer modes == no problems with your mass pigment blocking the addition of your modelling pigment)

This 6b+tissue for blur+Charcoal modelled rendering feels quite graphic (for lack of a better term). I enjoy it. Still some lack of subtlety -- I feel like I am compressing dynamic range (ie. values become nonlinear/ locally normalized) on features that are further away (we have, uhm.. black.. and slightly less black ;) as shown on the feet, whereas I think it would be more clear an exercise if I could make a linear depth map (a darkness of X meaning exactly a depth of X, no matter where it is in the picture).

Quote from: Nicolaides, The Natural Way To Draw(1969), p.37
Different students may work in different ways and yet all be right.
In other words, do not obsess about materials and about doing it 'right' too much or about judging another students results according to what may or may not be the original intent of the teacher(who does not live to be asked and if we could, I have a hunch his answer would be like that of a Zen master, advising to search for answers inside yourself and draw the answers from your own nature). Focus on your own progress as there is no single 'right' way as I see it and adapt, become your own teacher, using Nicolaides as a guide, not as law/rules.

That quote and reading between the lines and soaking up Nicolaides' vibes in all his writing so far in that book do lead me to believe that "THE natural way" is not meant to and can not be a one-size-fits-all-way (I think I may have written about this before in this thread), but rather natural in the meaning that the emphasis is clearly on natural and everyone has their own nature according to which they explore life/art. There is not THE(single) right way. Well there is but THE right way is different for everyone. Your way is the right way for you. My way is the right way for me. Jane Doe's way is the right way for her. That's imo part of what is meant by 'natural' way. If it was any other way, a one-for-all-way, all art by everyone in history would look the same. But it does not.

The book could as well be called "explore and find YOUR natural way to draw" and it shows the exercises to get there but does not present insights or facts to memorize on a silver platter... and for good reason I think because that would not work. Insights come as the word implies from inside and the only way to get there/them is to do the work, gain the real experience, not just gather/memorize facts or "rules". That's summarized nicely in the very first quote in the book: "The supreme misfortune is when theory outstrips performance." -Leonardo da Vinci (so... walk the walk, theory alone does not have much value and without practice/experience only leads to frustration upon observing the results that stand on 100% theory and 0% practice)

Quote from: Nicolaides, The Natural Way To Draw(1969), p.37
Different students may work in different ways and yet all be right.
I hoped you wouldn't respond with that quote, because I had considered whether it applied, and concluded no it doesn't.

My comment is really just about the intended starting point (which he is clear: that is all the exercises are. Whereever you end up, I'm not criticizing you for ending up there, but I have to think about what starting point makes sense to me, and I don't think that all starting points are equal. For example, my current approach to gesture wouldn't be such a good starting point as it divides attention between hitting the basic gesture and locking the figure solidly into space so the proportions stay sensible. I think a starting point should effectively focus your attention on just one thing. Then, naturally, my question is: what one thing was this exercise aimed at?).
I don't care if I ultimately end up doing a bunch of strings kind of thing.
Just, when I look at the samples they have a smooth, continuous appearance that makes me think that a broader tip was used. In addition, I have tried using a broader tip, like a chunk of graphite, and IME it gives more of a 'surface' feel (not describing it well: I mean a surface has an amount of stiffness and does not turn instantly; it is comprised usually of a majority of slow turns plus a few fast turns; therefore a naturally slower-turning wider tip will produce turns that fit closer to the characteristics of most of the surface)

There may also be a definitional issue with 'contour'. Both the sample drawings and your drawings seemed to have pigment in places where I didn't consider there to be vertical or horizontal contours. So there is a bit of a conflict between what is described (heightmapping only contours, which is similar to a kind of light-sourced wireframe you could render in a 3d program) and what is depicted in the book (heightmapping every part of the surface). I think a bit of thought is necessary to reconcile those.

This is not a big thing. I don't mind experimenting to find what I think is the right starting place. I was just journaling my experience as I thought it could be an interesting explanation of the images following it. Mainly my experience was having the stylus skid off the paper in phase 2, as the media used for masses apparently repelled later pigment quite effectively ;)
(ie. the concern for materials is also purely out of necessity; I thought I had appropriate materials but they simply didn't work -- I physically was prevented from properly doing the second phase of the exercise. You can see what happened, in 3d:2 below.)

I hoped you wouldn't respond with that quote, because I had considered whether it applied, and concluded no it doesn't.
And I say it does. And I had hoped, and please excuse my upcoming rant about this and don't take it personally(it's more me talking to a past version of  myself for the most part), you would not respond in that manner as there is that tendency(entirely my fault because the urge to reply is strong in me) that this will just lead to long-winding, tedious and rather pointless 'you said/I said/he said' arguments, wasting a lot of time collecting 'facts' or verbalizing thoughts and concepts and interpretations(all prone to be understood in a different way as they were meant on both ends) instead of drawing and I am not available to have these kinds of discussions neither in this thread, any other, nor in PM.

I consider it a complete waste of time and mostly just ego-driven(my ego, perhaps yours too) jibber-jabber or technobabble, throw in over-thinking and over-analyzing if you want, spawned by the ego's urge to be 'right' and perhaps even coming from the rather pointless hope for some nebulous form of praise from society/community or any authority figure as a whole, that 'good dog, have a cookie' pat on the back (all of which one should want to free themselves for the sake of being a free man). I think the primary point of importance in all the exercises is not arriving at a specific depiction of something but to go through the exercises, to make the observations and feeling the things, building the muscle memory, gaining the knowledge and the experience (and here again I think I wrote about this before in here).

The exercise results that are left in the mind(all the non-visual parts, the concepts formed beyond verbalization, depiction and (over)analysis, the parts in the mind, wherever they might be located, which are responsible for keeping understanding of the things perceived through the sensations of touch and movement) are what it is about, whereas the marks that are left on paper are merely evidence(and I mean this in a judgement-free and neutral sense of the word, not in the sense of having to worry about proving anything to anyone(including oneself)) of having gone through the exercise but they are meaningless afterwards and looking at them does not provide any of the insights and experience gained by the mind that went through the exercise.

If one worries or fantasizes about the visual results or judgement about them, whether it is negative criticism, constructive criticism or even praise, one is full of preconception about 'how things should be' and not free to explore and really gain some good experience which will bring 'improvement' of results automatically over time. Worrying/fantasizing is not the mode I prefer my mind to be in as I art/live. The mode which focuses on the practice itself, the doing, making, being, here and now, not in the past, not in the future, not in any moment of any kind of possible response but right there with the thing and the process. That's the mode I prefer.

Ok, end of rant. Keep drawing.

I can't comment very directly on that, as I'm unsure what was really intended.

But I can say that personally, learning in the correct (ie. most laser focused on efficiently addressing my weaknesses) manner is far, far more important to me than simply drawing a lot (something that I am very used to doing anyway). I recognize that each practice that I could possibly do will have different results (as in, the state of my mind will be different; what I learn will be different) and I need to actually think about this stuff rather than dismissing thought about it as masturbatory, as I have in the past. I regard tracking where I am, where I'm going, and why, as strictly necessary for me, despite its tediousness.

This is one major reason I make myself write about what I'm doing. I don't really see that I can in good conscience stop (although I'm happy to put stuff in spoilers if that helps). Nothing is intended even slightly personally, other than personal to me. Much of it I'm not even sure that it's at all serious; but it helps me feel more like a person, so..

Remainder of 3E:

I was feeling ambitious today:

Weight step was kind of part mass and part weight (I don't really understand the structure of a car well enough to do weight fully; I can only guess the major weight is a kind of I-shape  with the horizontals of the I equalling the axles between the wheels.). To fully complete it I guess would take about another hour (missing or inaccurate gradients along primary and secondary axes)

Conclusions:
* 6B chisel is a little hard to apply uniformly, but has a clear and IMO likeable aesthetic -- knife-ish.
* 6B by itself can do most of the modelling -- but charcoal is needed to get fully dark. Unfortunately it's a bit hard to apply when the paper's already semi-saturated
* H-2b are actually OK for weight, when used correctly
* something finer, like HB or so, maybe a technical pencil, is needed to resolve particularly finely spaced areas in modelling (see the book image for example. Paper edges 'turn' very quickly which isn't very representable with a coarse tip -- unless you scale up excessively)
* Modelling fully accurately (ie. increasing darkness globally, not just locally, with distance) is more doable than I thought, but still a challenge (cf. lack of value range). Some work on seeing if it could be compensated by simply making 'strips' of modelling more dense as the object recedes (which is physically accurate anyway.)
* particularly planar objects like bricks can be reduced to a pointcloud (collection of weighted contours) which can then be blended between relatively quickly to complete modelling

Ambi, forget about soft brushes. Good paintings that use mostly soft brushes simply don't exist. For gradients with hard brushes you just need to layer multiple strokes at low opacity.

Also try to chose one focal point for each picture, at the focal point you should add a lot more detail, and outside of should be more rough and less detailed.

@0xDB: Did you switch to a different grade of pencil from 09 Oct onwards, or just change technique?
(Personally I'm beginning to think two pencils may be better than one, hb-ish one for laying in and 6b-ish one for tone)

----

Have been keeping up with Nicolaides, Haven't been posting. It's really tedious to do all the sorting out, photographing, etc tbh.

So here's a few things from the last batch of scans.

(https://s12.postimg.org/59t2fsji5/480_dcomp_etc_07.png)(https://s12.postimg.org/bfz40a2t9/480_qstudy_08.png)

Minor logistical holdups currently with watercolor brushes. Hopefully resolvable on Saturday. In the meantime (after I finished schedule 5, probably about a week ago?), I'm cycling through the various exercises-that-were-current-as-of-schedule-5, with particular emphasis on weight and gesture (honestly, though I'm making quite clear improvements in gesture, I feel like I could study it for 100 years straight and still be learning new things. )
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: 0xDB on November 04, 2016, 04:45:16 pm
@AI: It is my opinion that pencil grade is irrelevant for all of these throwaway exercises. They are not about the marks they leave on the paper but about the experience and knowledge gain happening in the mind outside of verbalization and technical details, about building muscle memory and training the mental model of things, observation skills, creativity improvement, living through the performance, not about leaving graphite trails or any other markings on the paper. For artworks, that's different, there material matters.

Either way, I don't know as for the throwaway exercises I'm using up a bunch of old pencils that just accumulated over the past 25 years or so from all kinds of places. Giveaways from hardware stores, ownerless pencils found on the street, leftovers from pencil boxes. They are all kinds of different grades, Bs, HBs, 3Bs, 2Bs, some are of really grainy/crappy/broken mine quality and not even marked. Also not using the same one each day, just grabbing any random one, usually one that I don't need to sharpen, so that I can just start drawing.

If there's a fluctuation in appearance, it's likely due to fluctuating mood, coffee level, random pencils, varying scan settings, different pressure and or speed while drawing or anything else but again, that's all irrelevant for the throw-away exercises.

Also yeah, if it wasn't for body deterioration coming with age, practicing for 100 years and still learning new things every day is well possible. I have slowed down a bit, been on schedule 7 for two weeks already (only did A,B,C so far minus the 5h long study). 3h a day was killing my back/neck. :D

Well, tendon and muscle strain is an issue for me, so switching grades is more of a practical 'takes less force' thing. I don't at all disagree about it being about the experience of concentrating on these different things, but I would add that the media you use affects exactly what that experience is. eg. softer grades wear down quicker so you're using a broader tip for more of the drawing -- unless you re-sharpen before you strictly need to. Another example, after I bought this ream of A3 paper, I found I just liked drawing on it much more because it has really good contrast (80gsm + 150 whiteness, compared to the probably 50gsm+ 80 whiteness miscellaneous paper I had been using) so I didn't have to squint at it at all.

I was having serious issues with the Modelling in Ink exercise for similar (tendon + muscle strain) reasons. Partly because I tend to use more force than I need to.. I've been taking the opportunity to train that out, as IME it leads to worse measurement and gesture of individual lines, as well as reduced speed.

(I developed a technique for reviving previously-thought-to-be-dead biros through that, too... "go so fast that you heat up any stuck ink through friction" :)

It's pretty consistent actually, after that date everything has more contrast. But yeah, that particular change could easily be attributed to switching HB -> 2b or unbreaking scanner settings.

Apropos of 2b, I bought like 100 2b pencils from Woolworths for $10 (2 packs of 50). I am no longer worried about running out of pencils for gesture work.

It's funny how you say 'coffee levels' like it's some kind of RPG attribute.

Hmm, is the centre of your display pretty much aligned with the bridge of your nose?
I found this reduced my neck strain from 'frequent' to 'basically never' (but to be fair, my posture has also improved over time)

.. alright, I do have a few pictures I can put here.

Today I managed to come up with a concept for a great sword that uses two parallel handles for more effective use.
(http://i.imgur.com/7vkJGMg.png)
Though the benefits are clear I'll mention that you should notice how the dual handled great sword is easier to wield, strike with, and sheath. Something that's a bit harder to see at first is that the dual handled great sword actually has a lower mass than a regular great sword.
Surely if the knights of yesterday thought of something like this. we'd be calling them knights of today.

Nice work, but is the thumbnail really supposed to be so tiny? It's barely big enough to tell what's going on.

I've been busy with RL stuff but have kept up DComps and slowly progress through schedule 6. Probably will edit some images in later. Really think I am doing something wrong with watercolor modelling cause I really can't imagine the paper retaining moisture for a whole hour.. certainly it hasn't been my experience so far, I've had to actually drip water on the paper with fingers in order to keep modelling (and then the result is more watery than it's supposed to be.). Current plan WRT that is to get some thicker stuff.. cardboard.. and see if that will retain more water.

old dude.


Heh.. I went '.. can't see that he's old, particularly'. Then I realized that his nose was what I was viewing as the entire head, in a scene of someone exiting a cave down a slope, one foot up like they are about to stomp.

---

Kind of in a 'destroy everything' mood, so don't really want to post scans, but it'll get stuff off my to-scan pile.. so here is yet more monuments to nothing:

DComps (especially boring ones omitted)
(https://s13.postimg.org/ugcsv3olz/512_dcomp_03.png)(https://s13.postimg.org/f91eohm53/512_dcomp_07.png)
(https://s13.postimg.org/6s1wdkhg7/512_dcomp_15.png)(https://s13.postimg.org/djsbgf6fr/512_dcomp_18.png)

(https://s13.postimg.org/a6k2tpcuv/512_dcomp_34.png)(https://s13.postimg.org/u2g298tw7/512_dcomp_37.png)
A sort of tension about level of close-up-ness is going on here. Most comps feel like they are unable to capture much about the person's action because of the level of context. OTOH things like the skateboarder feel like they are too close. It's kind of interesting that there is no real in-between.

(probably-no-less-than-200 gestural drawings also omitted)

Went to uh.. 'art group' recently (it's not a class.. sort of just 'we'll meet up in this room and draw the same subject'). Did a drapery study sort of thing on an uncomfortably large piece of paper (A1?). Atmosphere was slightly pretentious IMO, but challenging.
(https://s11.postimg.org/980g6fapv/720_DSCF3425_leveled.png)
(actual size ~= 42x54 cm. Session duration was 3 hours, which is well into the 'danger, you can't really see the subject anymore, only your preconceptions' zone for me.)
 Might be able to push forward with Nicolaides stuff there, for at least some exercises like modelling and right angle study.

Post by: 0xDB on December 06, 2016, 09:32:09 am
There is a story to the bottom picture. I was happily riding along on my bike on the right half of the path, slowly and and very carefully as always, when 20m ahead of me, an old guy(~80 years old I guess) was walking in the opposite direction on the left half of the path. I saw him long before he even noticed me and slowed down even more... at about 5m distance, me on the bike now at walking speed, the guy looked up and he saw me, his face turned grumpy and angry and he left his side of the path to walk right in front of my bike.

Now this was not the first time this happened... couple of weeks ago, same situation, same grumpy guy.

The last time he lectured "road ain't big enough, eh?" and that last time I did not even reply because I was in a really bad mood at that moment so I just drove past him, evading onto the road and said nothing, completely ignored him but still was angry about the stupid comment.

Well this time, I again had to evade onto the road because he actively blocked the whole path again instead of staying on his half but before he could say anything I told him "There is enough room here for you AND for me." to which he replied in a really pissed voice "No there is not.", me "Yes there is." and continued on my way without looking back. Man... I'm still upset about this dumb old stupid bloke.

Well it was good inspiration for the daily composition, first I wanted to draw a different scene, a scene where I would ride FAST and grind that shithead into the ground instead of depicting my thoughtful riding and the insane old man with his grumpy expression and adding an invented shaking fist and a cane or rollator. But I reconsidered and did not want to honor the guy one bit, not with a single line was I going to acknowledge his existence. So the memory of him is instead represented by that small puddle of smelly piss in the bottom left corner of the picture. I should really let go.  :crazy:

Working fairly well + the different feel helps remind me to make strongly-articulated turns rather than flopping around.

10B6 Modelling in watercolor+ . Still struggling with modelling, I think I definitely need a type of paper that will hold more water. The adding-of-yellow technique that's now permitted helps somewhat.

Focusing primarily on punching through to the back ASAP in every drawing of every type, preferably drawing from back to front (gives me much better perspective feedback than the converse). Slower with the weight in this WC as a consequence -- 1 whole hour. This focus helped me from being distracted by brush feedback - 'I'll just paint in whatever direction the surface plane is sloping'. Still some technique distraction -- eg. the slashes on right side, since I felt that a noticable depth gradient was present there, and thought just painting over it would get no blend, just a binary yellow/brown.

Yeah, I was planning on holding off a bit longer for fear of that and I was loathe to give money to Facebook, but this is what I wanted the instant I tried Tilt Brush and realized the creative potential of one-to-one 3d input.

Had a go at something inorganic, obviously not so well suited, but could be improved by increasing resolution.

I'm pleased with the test results. Works well. Configuring the right transparency and brightness/contrast settings for the camera is a todo, as well as building a proper clipon fixture to attach the camera to the tablet.

advantages over a real screen tablet: less heat under the hand and the hand and pencil never block the view to the art being worked on and... it's cheap!

disadvantages: not very useful for doing coloring

I'll experiment more when the clip-on-swan-neck-monopod arrives. Yeah, maybe some edge detection filter which turns the camera feed into a black and white line-drawing would work.

Latest Nicolaides (11A2, so the next one I'll do is 11B1. Schedule 11 departs from the typical pattern of durations, with only two, longer, exercises per subschedule. Obviously this is a drapery exercise, that
is planes-focused. Intended result is discrete 'chunks' of tone -- no blending except for the 'going behind' indicators -- describing the 3d form near-completely

@wolf: Pu-lease! Read my thread about the negative effects of autosuggestion. Then counter that statement about your own competence (though, I'm sure you don't really mean it).

@PPD: Enjoyed watching you figure out those heads earlier.

@pusty: Try to get rid of your eraser for practice. Just draw and do not interrupt your flow of throwing down lines by erasing. Instead of doing something like "line, correct, line, correct, line, correct", just do "line, line, line, line". Draw the correction right next to the "flawed" line and leave the flawed one. Saves time and still builds understanding without breaking flow.

My last 'Long Drapery Study' was much less clear than this after 4 hours (2 hour session * 2 days); This is the next instance, after a single 2hour session.
When I began thinking of it as a wireframe study it became much easier.

This one is supposed to be studied for 2 hours over 3 sessions; I'm not sure if there will even be anything left to nail down after the second session.
the interpretation of 'base'. It doesn't seem entirely clear whether this is supposed to mean 'water level' (absolute low Z depth) or 'the level that is the base of the protrusion of this particular fold' (relative low Z depth)

@wolfenoctis - how do you animate sketches like that frame by frame?

Do you use some kinda light source behind the paper and draw each frame atop the other?

Or are you one of those who use a notepad and flip the corner of the pages like a magician?

@Runeseeker: 'something else, different styles'? I'm only aware that I keep drawing, if there is a style change it's a natural process, nothing I actively think about. That's good, means "draw, draw, draw" is working.

@skittlefuck:
Wow, great ambience.. kind of Out Of This World / Flashback-ish

Long drapery study is the second Nicolaides exercise in which clarity is a primary goal, and the first one in which erasing is permitted:
(https://s25.postimg.org/ic330011r/photo_0004_ldrapery.png)
This is 5 hours of work (due to a mistake; it should be done in multiple 2-hour sessions, but the latest one got mixed up with Quick Drapery Study)
TBH, I also have some doubts about exactly what the method is supposed to be;
I am setting the value in accordance with global depth, roughly speaking, but in the example, some features are rendered as if the value should be set according to *local* depth. But only *some* features are rendered in a way that clearly references local depth. There is yet another possible interpretation where the dark value simply should be assigned to those areas that are relatively flat. In many cases, comparing the assigned value could be explained by more than one of the possible interpretations.

In conclusion: The diagrams and drawing supposed to illustrate this exercise are simply too unclear, and the verbal explanation fails to resolve this ambiguity.

I did a dcomp overview page like 0xDB tends to do. Sort of messy.
(https://s25.postimg.org/kvypu3olr/dcomp_montage_dec2016_jan2017.png)
In some of these I construct myself into the picture, which tends to slow my drawing down but IMO is good practice -- gives you lots of human/object proportion reference points that always remain available to you

The above summary ends at 2017-01-22. I have scanned the following ones but didn't bother remaking the montage, so I just picked out the following as one I particularly liked:

(https://s25.postimg.org/norxe4oy7/dcomp_023.png)
Am continuing to intentionally draw-through whenever it would clarify the proportions of the objects involved. Also minimizing characterizing details with same intent -- "only include if it illustrates proportions vs objects"

(https://s25.postimg.org/p6hz3fj2n/tree_060.png)

130 other drawings from same period were scanned, after discarding 297

Also made some interesting observations in Blender today about perspective distortion, fov and about radial lines emerging from the station point: Seems like a no-brainer in hindsight that they all end up as parallels in the projection but my mind could not believe it at first and wondered... WHY?

Was thinking of ideas for my AV (I still haven't come up with anything yet) and I worked on this for quite a few hours before I abandoned it. The sun is incomplete but the earth I considered completed.

(http://i.imgur.com/Sm2CUuk.png)

I intended to add the moon too, set in front of the earth and sun with a separate caption for all 3 parts. So "hell" over the sun, "heaven" over the moon and "purgatory" over the earth, but I felt the religious aspect to it would be offensive to some and it didn't make a lot of sense either. I was inspired by rap songs/albums like "Nas - Heaven" and "Mobb Deep - Hell on Earth" etc

I did enjoy making the layers for the earth (the first part I made even if it looks terrible) but I took a few lazy shortcuts with it , copying layers like the clouds and then moving them 1 pixel with a small adjustment to the transparency.

@PPD : looking at that revised version makes me think.. With your 'standard' way of sketching things, are you going for a chalk-like feel? I haven't really done much chalk stuff, makes me think that I should.

@0xDB: Dinosaur-themed bus? Reminds me of Scott Robertson's videos (eg. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9hqkyGrNQU))

Doing a lot of design stuff recently. As usual, most of it is not scanned yet. But I did bother to scan this:

(https://s25.postimg.org/mb9zh7xvz/large_exercise_books.png)
(real size: ~ 5.5 x 3 cm (downscaled to approximate this size). Media: 0.5mm fineliner, 2b pencil)

Then I thought I should probably polish up my tablet drafting skills, so did a bit more iteration.

(https://s25.postimg.org/igb6se43z/labelling_001_traced.png)
(https://s25.postimg.org/t4exr8e33/labelling_001_traced_v2.png)

Thoughts:
* Lined paper is really useful for design work (not limited to typography) once you get to the point you can 'switch off' your awareness of the lines
* z-sorting everything is pretty important to a clean result [1]
* Picking out some section lines ahead of time, rather than putting lines in STRICTLY according to z values, is too.
* might be possible to do the fine lines traditionally (with an 0.1 fineliner), to improve drafting skills more.

[1] not that I would call this a clean result ;) Topology comes and goes, much like my mind at this time of night.

@Atnas:
Maybe he just didn't want his masochistic tendencies to be known ;)

Trying a slightly changed approach here for the daily composition using a combination of the usual unsharpened fat 1cm thick graphite mine for roughing it in in two 5min steps and a sharpened pencil for a third 5min step to "refine" a bit for clarity.

so each of these is: 5min roughing in environment + 5min roughing in characters/objects + 5min "refining" some lines for clarity

So this.. The art study thing I'm involved with, this time was looking at copying a photo with a grid. Pretty basic stuff.
I decided to do it without a grid and also exaggerate some forms, iconify it a bit. I'm happy with the eyes. As usual, anything that I nail down too hard I generally feel it's made pictorially worse by it..

To balance that out, here's something that I like more, that IMO is much less senseless:

trying a different camera angle


(hint: when recording a pencil drawing and uploading it to youtube, ignore their offer to "fix" the lighting in your video (takes hours and looks much worse afterwards) if you don't wish to re-upload(which is faster than their offer to "undo"(takes hours again))  :P)

@Night : left two seem pretty solid -- clear grasp of depth and atmosphere.
By contrast, I am not sure how to read the bottom right one -- IMO the foreground platform needs more cues as to what exactly it is (and probably darker? this will visually push it away from the mountains in BG)

@Risenshiney: Your character is lifting it's legs too high which makes it look almost as if its running, people tend to hardly raise their legs at all while walking, that is why they sometimes stumble if there is brick sticking out just a little on a pavement for example.

Proportion/framing study.
Most of these are about postage stamp sized (scale on side)

(https://s25.postimg.org/okij4sjf3/800_propstudy.png)

Conclusions:
* drawing the whole set of proportions with one or two lines (which may turn only at right angles) is effective once you overcome the feeling of unnaturalness.
* Using X-subdivision on the picture plane is also a helpful guide to aspect ratio of entire object
* This is definitely big enough to fully plan all major picture characteristics
* The process of picking a suitable frame helps get whole-figure proportion a bit more correct.
* Very uneven proportions (1:6 or worse, eg the candlepines on right) need a lot of checking.
* Needs to be red so that it goes faster.

All frames were drawn (more or less arbitrarily) before the first thumbnail was drawn.

@Wolfenoctis -  :o Thank you! That's brilliant! Turns out I've been drawing and referring from exaggerated 'walks' all this time and it did look more like a run. I love your works and really appreciate you taking the time to crit. Do you know places where I can find good references like what you showed me?

And with that, here's an ACTUAL walk cycle after taking the advice.

Still trying to foreshorten. Also, wild arms appeared! Could've made 'em move less robotically, but later.

@Risenshiney: No problem  :y: If I remember correctly it was on pinterest (I wasn't actively looking for walks, just happen to see it by accident a long time ago). New cycle is already looking better, maybe try making the shoulder movement more subtle.

Used some cheap layer style effects  :D

@Risenshiney
You're welcome. :)
For the animation, try using something like a grid, based on the perspective you're using. Apply to the body as well, like on the hips and shoulder line.
The legs in the latest animation are looking better for sure.
Attempted to do an animation like that as well, messed up the legs a bit

Btw, I know the question was addressed to Wolfenoctis, but google "Eadweard Muybridge", lots of good material.

@Wolfenoctis and Night - I really appreciate the feedback, guys! I'm humbled. :angel: Oh, yes, I have seen those images about! Thank you! I'm also happy I influenced you to do a walk cycle too. :P

Included guides this time, not sure they're right, but I see errors a little more. I also gave the arms a bit more life even though the closer one is off...

Turns out I already to know a good reference site too. If nobody knows heres http://www.referencereference.com/ (http://www.referencereference.com/) didn't know the vids could be downloaded using flash video downloader.

standard four hole puncher + homemade pegbar drawing board = "animation system", total cost ~16 EUR (not "professional" but beats spending ~600 USD ( https://t.co/VtbxaIRxfP ) on the hole puncher alone and probably an arm and a leg for a lighttable frame + disc):

@Risenshiney
Try using a guideline for the elbows as well, they both should be on the same line at their extreme (like when it swings back to the end, not both elbows on the same time though of course), you could also try doing that for the knees and other parts like that, since the human body is symmetrical for the most part.

The reference site you posted is pretty cool, bookmarked it; I kind of want to get more into animation myself. :P

@Jam - thank you, kindly, happy you like what you see!  :angel:

@Wolfenoctis - I find that highly relatable.

@0xDB - That's pretty sweet! Kinda feel like sorting one of those myself. its even nicer seeing it animated traditionally

@Night - Thank you again! I'll do just that! Glad the website seems good for you. ;D

No walk update today. Decided to work on an animation study instead after seeing all of Wolfenoctis' studies. I enjoyed doing this, and wish I thought of doing it in the past. I feel like I've learned a bit more and plan to do these more in future. Can't get enough of sakuga in anime.

@Danmanr98 - That's really cute! Looking forward to seeing it finished. I need to practice backgrounds more.  :o
Update -
Used more guides, changed legs and arms, but still having trouble. Not sure I've really made a difference? Maybe I should just learn foreshortening more before animating foreshortened things... :-\ Also, excuse the blotchy brush mess, this was all neat as I was sketching on sai then animating on photoshop, but I then decided to just do everything on photoshop.

@Jams & Risenshiney:  :lol:

@Risenshiney: Made a rough edit of your walk, I would suggest you try doing plain 2d walks before tackling perspective walks, there is a lot going on in a walk cycle and it can be tricky to pull off  :y:

Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Night on March 12, 2017, 09:05:40 pm
@Risenshiney
It's getting there, in the latest one you made the arms shorter and over swing a little though. In regards to foreshortening, yeah that would help.
Also on a general note, it wouldn't hurt if you cleaned up the lines a little, so that instead of having many lines to define a single line (the frontal thigh for instance), you would have one; I think it would help you to see the errors a bit more clearly.

Final (got a bit tired of over working it)

I spent way too long on this - maybe  3 hours. Over working feathers/leaves . Wondering if there's a better technique to this.

It has been suggested that I use layers to work over the background so going to try this with the next one. Also need to mess around with brush settings and general computer settings all of which I am not familiar with.

 @Wolfenoctis and Night - thanks very much for your ongoing tips! Getting used to plain walks is a better option for now. I have a bad habit of trying to run before I walk in general (literally in animations too, heh). And yes, I'm a very messy sketcher when animating, feel like I can't exactly sketch naturally like when I'm not animating, which is something I need to work on...

Here's a new walky ani w/o fancy foreshortening. The leg further away is a bit iffy when it drags back though, forgot to fix that...

@PixelPiledriver - Ah, your animations look so fun!

@PPD: Bucket dog is bucket horse and there's a rather grim NSFW/18+ story to it:
(made late at night after 3l of beer or so after my brother ranted for about 2h about a disturbing unknown stranger) so, as there was nothing else that could be done at that point, it felt most appropriate to make fun of the situation and the stranger: it is conceptual bait(trojan) for a perv/sadist/psycho who's going around torturing&killing horses... he's also in the image, buried under that pile of rocks with the little pool of piss nearby.

Thanks but I do not think it would give the results one might have in mind because it is not that I am 'better' at drawing animals(or anything), it is rather this:
One exercise is doing slow studies(no time limit) from refs (animals at the moment) and another exercise is fast and furios sketching(15m time limit) without refs, freely inventing and drawing from memory/imagination(the daily compositions)... two very different skills being trained, not comparable until(if ever) the "fast from memory/imagination"-skill catches up with the "playing human camera"-skill.

Translating directly from imagination is my focus for the time being and is still harder to me(but more enjoyable) while drawing from refs is relatively easy to me(and less enjoyable, often dull and mindless even) but does not train my raw creativity and does not enable to draw things that do not exist as much and I feel like creativity has always been the part I lack the most, whereas I'm already fairly proficient at eyeballing refs or reconstructing from refs or doing slow constructions, so that is is not where my focus needs to be.

Yet another exercise is to do slow and careful constructions from imagination but with the daily composition the goal is to eventually arrive at results that are as good as what one would get from a slow construction(after cleanup of course) by a natural progression of skill over a longer period of time(years) which enables one to visualize fast and clear, skipping the tedium of construction(still done to a fair extent but mostly in the mind then and not so much on the drawing surface anymore and the visual memory will end up knowing how stuff looks much better than the slow facts in verbal memory which always need to go through another layer of translation before reaching the drawing surface).

Imo, it can not be trained by constructing and then trying to just construct faster but only by regularly practicing drawing directly from the visual portion of the mind without crutches like perspective grids, measuring proportions with a ruler or breaking up everything into the infamous building blocks(cubes, spheres, etc...) that tend to make art look so stiff when it's applied mindlessly without thought of gesture or motion.

The results are full of errors, yes, the exercise is to notice them but to move on, and to slowly nudge them a little into the right direction with every new drawing. It's a natural way to improve, a non-verbal way which transcends memorizing facts through numbers, texts and diagrams. It's a perfectly natural way, a visual way which trains just that, visualization and visual memory.

Anyway, long rant is long: It will all come together at some point and then stuff can be created combining all the different methods, fast and furious visualization/sketching, slow and tedious construction, utilizing refs where imagination is too vague to render stuff... each has its merits and drawbacks...

...also you know all this already. Keep rocking it everyone!

@Ambivorous: have you checked out SNK stuff (King of Fighters, etc).. or Segmentation filter (GIMP+GMIC is the easiest way I know to experiment with this)? Your simpler painting actually looks a lot like the result of segmentation filter on a somewhat-simplified photo.

Segmentation filter is far from perfect but it can often abstract clusters very well, so it can give many hints on how to paint a subject.

Good call on the shoes, the reddish color unifies it more. You might be able to push the depth more and get a bit more hint of local color by using greyish shadow tone.

@Samaramon: I love those, the clean architectural look and the well-unified pattern work (my Pinterest (https://au.pinterest.com/finticemo/) is filled with these drafting-related type of things, heh). Some of the later ones where you quickly cycle light grey/ dark grey/black on a face get a bit busy looking though.

The shoe is originally greyish color, right?
In the simplified versions, you made it a kind of pastel pink in two shades -- dark and light. if the dark shade used grey instead, it would emphasize the lighter pink by hue/saturation contrast.
(although in retrospect, perhaps you don't want to emphasize the shoe?)

I like the looseness that comes from indexpainting with a truecolor 'backbuffer' (this is basically how it works in GIMP 2.9) -- you can 'invisibly build up' paint until it passes a threshold and becomes visible. More and more this is how I prefer to do pixely stuff. Manual pixel work is necessary, but too much of it and I think the result becomes 'pixel' first to the considerable detriment of the 'art' (overall impression/feel) aspect.
(https://s25.postimg.org/3k0e0b4un/iconstoo.png)

Each icon took ~10m (I find alternating A B A B A B ... where A and B are different tasks in at least slightly different locations helps maintain staying power on both tasks). Mostly with paintbrush and airbrush; DB32 palette.

Please explain. How do you do this in GIMP?
It's actually pretty easy (assuming compilation isn't scary to you ;)

* Compile and install a recent version of GIMP 2.9. Ideally the very most recent (https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp). Installing deps (especially babl and gegl) may be required.
* Launch GIMP and create a new image
* Prepare a palette with the colors you wanna start with.
* Convert the image to indexed with custom palette set to the aforementioned palette. Uncheck the 'remove unused colors' checkbox.
* Paint with anything that isn't pencil tool. Airbrush, or paintbrush with a fuzzy brush, for example.

Experiment with the new Force parameter to get paint coming quicker or slower. Everything is fully functional (eg. use whatever paint mode you want, it'll work)

* Also make sure your painting is using Default, not Legacy, blending (that's controlled by the new widget sitting next to Paint Mode in the
tool options). This isn't strictly required but makes everything much easier to predict.

* Layer modes work as expected, except the result of blending is not indexized before display. IMO this is a bug. Need to merge layer down to fully indexize. Non-binary alpha and masks also work as expected -- eg. I used Levels on alpha channel of text layers in images below, to get a likeable indexized result.

Basically you can use any tool as you would on an RGB image; the 'pushing through' is really an effect that comes about due to the fact that you're painting in RGB but the displayed surface is quantized to the given palette, so the change only shows up when the "real color" is different enough to be quantized differently

Some indexpainted demos of Force vs Opacity (using standard brush tool w/ white fuzzy brush); hopefully this illustrates that Force works similarly to [Flow in Photoshop]

(https://s25.postimg.org/i4hgv4ztb/gimp-force.png) (Force)
(https://s25.postimg.org/4oug5orbj/gimp-opacity.png) (Opacity)

If this is not an adequate explanation, I was thinking about doing a video. Let me know if you'd be interested.

Ah, not what I was hoping for. I've been wanting painting to RGB buffer with realtime display quantization to custom palette. This appears to be indexed buffer with RGB painting being quantized onto it.
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: Ai on April 18, 2017, 08:56:01 am
Yes and no. It's not quantized until the stroke is finished (pen up) -- so it does have realtime display quantization. It's just that each painting operation takes the indexed data, converts it to RGB, paints on it, and converts back in realtime -> after the stroke, indexed pixels are finally stored in the layer.

Because painting is always in either GRAY or RGB now, I suspect a patch to make just the display (not the actual layer data) indexed wouldn't be very complicated.

Hey peeps I'm back!

@Ai I'm really loving your plants! I've actually been asked to do some trees for some band posters and freaking the fuck out because my forest drawing abilities are minimal. How did you go about articulating the leaves?

Trying to get back into the habit of this - was in a rush this morning and krita only saved halfway. Still playing with landscapes.Or the idea of them. Will try check out Shaddy Safadi's tutorials apparently they're quite good.

@Ai I'm really loving your plants! I've actually been asked to do some trees for some band posters and freaking the fuck out because my forest drawing abilities are minimal. How did you go about articulating the leaves?
Thanks :)

My approach definitely depends on having pencil sharpened with a long 'bullet' point (https://youtu.be/Nw-piPn9d6Q?t=3m50s), as this lets me put the gesture in in very light tones (side of pencil, with overhand grip) and sharpen it up later as needed with the point. You can see this in the leaves on the second pic: most of them have thick lines, a few are sharper.
This might not seem like it makes a big difference, but I find being able to switch between general and specific like this extremely helpful.

Beyond that:
* Whenever joint articulation is especially important, I remind myself to think of the spaces in the object as being tangible (eg. a huge irregular balloon straining to expand against the solid forms of the plant). This helps make the members more firmly 'ranked'/'sorted' into clear locations in space.
* If you are using tones rather than just line, the planes at joints usually turn over one axis and then fade into another axis. Clearly tracking the turning of those planes helps a lot to give depth

* Leaves are spatially-sorted series of front edges (the remainder is easy to fill in given a good front edge, or can just not be filled in as in the lower leaves in my second pic. In any case, leaving it till late in the piece is usually good). Reliably distilling what you see into a definite spatial ranking is pretty much down to practice.

If I look at what I've done here, I'd say what it most lacks is clear punch-outs (some level of crisp silhouetting -- not on the entire drawing, just on the most important parts so the viewer automatically extrapolates them to the vaguer parts). The tiny yet non-tangential spaces where different clusters of leaves overlap, are what sells the scale of the leaves; And fading out some of the higher 'see through' parts of the overall foliage conveys that the space inside the tree is.. well, a space (ie. some light from the sun penetrates). For a forest, I'd suggest each tree should have only a few such spaces shown, and using other cues like changing overall value to add depth without making the big picture messy.

If that isn't quite enough, you might also gain insight by investigating L-Systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system), which describe the regular pattern in which joints develop in plants and trees.

@Ai

Thanks so much! The advice got me quite excited so I had to go out and try it. Drawing from life as I'm not quite accustomed to using sources yet.

(http://i.imgur.com/y6V3MlO.jpg)

That's my practise paper. First one is top left.

(http://i.imgur.com/f5QJ3SH.jpg)

The above is, admittedly, a tree that is easier to draw. But your advice about the spaces between the trees ballooning from a central point helped with this one. I still need to figure out how to articulate particular leaves it seems. The L-system is really interesting, checked it out and the concept definitely changes the way one looks at natural forms.

Realised now that you lightened the sketches digitally. Made a cool effect.

On a side note: Does 'Ai' come from the Left Hand of Darkness? The main character is named Ai.:P

Second side note: Should we limit our posts to one a day? If so, sorry bout that will 'edit' next time.

I don't think there's any per-day restriction. Personally I just try to think about how much vertical space I'm taking up, and put some images in spoilers to reduce that if needed.

Glad it helped. Right now, I need to go to bed, but some quick comments:

* Nice consistent tone application, you're obviously comfortable with it.
* Not such a fan of the zigzag motion on foliage, it directly creates tangents.
* Pretty respectable planes
* Except at the base of the tree. which feels like it isn't turned in 3d near the lowest joint.
* Left Hand of Darkness sounds like it might be funny, but nope, not the reference.
* Don't know what is going on with the line moving towards top-left. Is it supposed to be the edge of a block of leaves ?
* Yeah, ground plane was added digitally. It really helps a lot IME, I'm trying to get in the habit of putting a ground plane clearly in most drawings to begin with.

Thanks for the feedback Ai, I also don't like the zig zags - I'm out of drawing practise so gestural marks don't come so easily to me.... I was trying to copy the fluidity you managed with your leaves in the first one. Perhaps it's just a case of trying it with leaves only for a bit and focusing on that. Tried to draw a tree with overlapping branches and ended up 'colour coding' the ones on different planes so I could keep track of where they were placed in space. O_O

(http://i.imgur.com/x8A144P.png)

I tried to do that thing that so many people on here seem to get irritatingly right, which is to use previous practise on form to make more things. I think there are certain things I'm lacking because everything looks kind of flat. [Will upload later because internet is broken]

Still broken but hey


Had a Skype chat with a friend last night. I think we ended up talking for 3 hours - but I drew her while we were chatting. It was interesting because the conversation got heavier and the colours I was using got more expressionist.

Haha, that was actually pretty much a polygonal blob (think cel-shading / anime, except I try to think of it as a cluster of simple 3d shapes); one way I get it more gestural though is I don't draw shapes continuously A->B->C->D->E->F->A , instead I move my arm rapidly and put in only the line segments that line up with the gesture (eg A C E -- often consecutive line segments use different or even opposite gestures). It requires concentration to keep the full shape in mind.

I regard the way gesture is described in Nicolaïdes 'Natural Way to Draw' as the gold standard. For me, it was very effective in levelling up my gesture skill several levels, but I'm also well aware that there are more levels to go (gesture is deceptively simple).

For a lot of it, it's simply volume of work (eg. I've done 3000+ gestures in work for Nicolaides alone). But one part that I feel is particularly helpful is where he says 'every so often, do a session where instead of 25 gestures x 60 seconds per gesture, draw each of those 25 gestures in 7 seconds'. That really forces you to get the lead out, because you simply cannot capture the movement of all major parts in time if you *don't* move loosely and quickly.

very curious to see what coloring you do, if you'll color it all.
since doing such dense pencil texturing, to color it you'd probably have to either scan into Photoshop, boost the contrast way up and color digitally -or- use the pencil version once main lines are finalized to trace out a less densely detailed ink version for colored pencils then you could do a daily composition of doing some coloring - might be cool for a change. but . . . this would hardly be complacent  :shades:

@Wolfenoctis
Sure, no problem.  :)
Just a suggestion, try to divide the face into two parts(vertically), usually the nose will be around the middle of that line; the more the face is turned to either side the more the two parts will become imbalanced, with one bigger and another smaller. in the pic I edited for example, the two parts weren't that far from each other in terms of size, so the nose remained relatively close to the middle of said line.

More random stuff:

PPD: I want to play that gameboy game. make it I say

Mati: I really like that colorscheme with the blue background and green midtones. cool stuff. Since when is a ribcage for a head a dragon tho? consarn it that darksouls

Daniel: I like the bottom to right one, I like how she's twisting and it works with the way you render em, very expressive. No clue if it's correct or no tho  :crazy:

Mathias, we were chatting about DS just yesterday on slack. I grabbed the base game of DSIII without any addons and will consider getting the DLCs later. Never finished DSII since it didn't captivate me as much as the first game so I abandoned that after about 65h.

...
so today's daily is obviously DS inspired  ;D

Here are my tree drawings. Just googled 'how to draw a tree' and tried some of the techniques while the dude was talking.

Drawing with a pencil and ink got frustrating so I used acrylics to try to the clumpy thing that the dude advocates with the leaves - highlighting the top of each clump. Not so sure it was too successful but the paint is better than before with the ink and pencil.

Hey Guys, been away for a while - started various new projects and have been a bit distracted. Recently met some animation students who gave me some tips and photoshop brushes so I'm happy to say I've improved a lot. Still working on light though and form -not so great when it comes to drawing from my mind. Which is the end goal for me. Animating things would be nice too but for now here's some of the things I've worked on recently.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZZ827Hj.png)
probs took me 3 hours - was playing with all the brushes and used curves at one point to change colours

(http://i.imgur.com/fGAqcOs.png)
so yeah still need to add a lot of subtlety and tone but this was a quick one

(http://i.imgur.com/EcKkWeB.png)
This one was a lot darker but used photoshop to make it lighter. I have a weird block when it comes to colour + tone. Find midtones hard to identify and so I think it hinders me when trying to make things for 3d


Drew this from memory:

 :o at Wolf's latest stuff


more of these.. there's a reason for the outlines being this way. Been thinking about making some of those enamel pins. like these https://defendneworleans.com/collections/pins (https://defendneworleans.com/collections/pins)

So far I think the only one I'm going with is the droopy flowers and hand (still not sure):
(http://i.imgur.com/KAjYVBG.png)

The logo/symbol is called the 'Trin Yang' but it's too logo like so I probably wont make it into a pin but I do like the concept.

hey Night, if you don't care, would you please give us a quick instructional on your edge painting tech thus far.
The horse's edges/muscle definition is the first thing I noticed when i saw your above pic.
Are you painting large soft strokes then sharpening up one side with a smaller harder brush, are you using selections, etc?
Edge stuff is something I'm very interesting in right now.

Edge stuff is something I'm very interesting in right now.

Sure, what I've been doing so far is very similar to the first method you described. Although I use several soft brushes, one that is very soft, one that is average, and another that is harder but still a bit soft (I'm not sure to what extent this is useful yet btw, seems to be working though), additionally, I also sometimes use an edited smudge tool brush in Photoshop:
(http://i.imgur.com/m8Gzr5M.png)
With the horse the way I went about it, which might not be very effective now that I think about it, is that I first used a hard brush to lay in the shadows and light, then started softening it using the brushes I described; with the degree of softness being based on the brushes' softness, meaning that on the harder areas I used a harder brush and so on (I found myself using the softest brush very often, alongside Photoshop's default soft brush actually).
There's also the whole thing with "lost edges" I think it's called, which is the area where you essentially leave a single colour/shade in without any definition, so that it doesn't distract the viewer; I noticed that this is often complemented with the edge it leads to being darker on the rim, in that sense it's similar to reflection but exaggerated.

In terms of the brush's size, the process I go through is pretty common I think: when I begin I use mainly large brushes and near the end mostly small brushes. But I have to say that I do that with both hard and soft brushes, although the soft brushes I use are indeed usually larger.

After that I used as you said a smaller harder brush for the details, you do sometimes have to use a larger hard brush however.

Also, it became very apparent to me when I started practising this that the order in which you place the brushes is very important as well - that is, which brushstroke is going to be on top/below of the others (on some occasions when you make hard edges it kind of feels like you're "cutting" through what ever brush stroke was there before) , so that's something to keep in mind as well.

Another thing that might be of importance is that I play around with the flow and/or opacity when I paint.

Here's more..

Great response, Night. Thanks for taking the time. I believe I understand all that.
It's a good use of this thread for us to take a minute to ask questions and learn from each other, rather than just an image dump.
So, I almost never use the smudge tool. Need to stop under-utilizing it. Might make that a goal for my next thing. Good reminder.

Hey everyone ! I've haven't been active on this site for over a year, and I haven't done much pixel art in the meantime. Despite that, I have been doing a lot of traditional art with pencils, oil pastels and pens. I hope that experience will help my pixel art in the long-run, since I'm interested in picking it up again.
Any general advice for improving this piece ? I was also wondering how to map out the base layer of pixels to form the eventual shape of the character. I'd love to get a better understanding of the basics at this stage, thanks for your time :)

Share it! Yes it will. As for advice for that piece you might want to start a thread in critique for that as it would probably just get lost in here where people mostly just dump their dailies.

I'm sure wolfenoctis can tell me all the things wrong with the anatomy :p it kinda looks like a pastor collie....it's just an inkblot that grew a face tbh :p

Attempting a one year daily sketch challenge. Not sure they're all going to be pixel art but that's where we're starting at least.

Day 1/365 - Conan the Barbarian, based on Jason Momoa's Conan

(https://i.imgur.com/QpM0aHu.png)

I'm not really a fan of doing fan art but it's easy to find references for things that don't only exist in your head so that's what we'll do a lot I think.

Crit is welcome, but it's just going to be 1-2 hour jobs and I'm not going to go back and redo anything.

2/365 - L-lewd

I wanted to practice some anatomy so I drew one of the characters from my game on the beach. She was supposed to look kinda embarrassed but I think she just looks cold.

Thx. No not a storyboard, it's just random stuff that floats around in the mind, drawn from scratch/imagination, sometimes purely imaginary, most of the time inspired by something seen in real life, usually something recent, sometimes stuff that happened many years/decades ago. So in a way, it's a bit like a diary, a reflection of the world as the mind recalls it or mixed with imagination when the real thing felt too boring.

Thank you as well.
Hm, I practiced drawing in general especially lines and ellipses and sausages. You just have to put these things together to get plants, I guess. I'm surprised myself how good these plants came out. But yeah, I love plants. Maybe that's why. ^^
But there is still a lot to learn. xD

I finished the palm tree. I plan to draw a strawberry bush next.

Another dissolvable piece (to be forever lost in the ephemerality of fan arts of Celes from FFVI), but I love canary yellow [pants] and practice is practice. In this runic wielding version she dons soft doeskin leather clothing. Could have been better, but I couldn't justify putting too much time in.

When you get into it (construction and all this) you start to notice when your blueprint does NOT fit into all the varied stuff that life throws out. These used ref, I had to deviate from the Bargues' "advice". (Tho it was not intended to be a "construction guide" in the first place, but there's usually something there if you see it.) Life drawing is the key, so the next ones must stick more closely to ref, some exaggerate em too, and then branch out.

Dear gott im himmel, over 750 sheets of practice in this series according to his numbering?
At this point I'm sort of hoping for a "you should start here" sort of recommendation,
I get that I should practice till' the end of times, question is, where to start? because my only current direction is MikeyMegaMega's tutorials and I'm wondering if there's anything specific I should practice, or if I should just "follow and polish every single damn tutorial on the internet until I'm good at drawing"
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: API-Beast on June 18, 2018, 02:16:39 pm
@Chironyx:

That's a extremely difficult topic. However I would suggest you to start with improving your drawing accuracy, else the journey will be incredibly frustrating. One way to improve your accuracy is by doing so called "Bargue Drawings" (https://archive.org/details/CharlesBargueDrawingCourse).
Title: Re: The Daily Sketch
Post by: wolfenoctis on June 18, 2018, 06:46:49 pm
@Chironyx: It's just from practice. Hard to say where you should begin, it depends on your individual skill. The best advice I can give you is to start and never stop drawing, get some references and get practicing already.  :y:

@API-Beast
Anatomy guides are just a point to jump off of. They simplify, they water down. Some more than others. I respect the value of that but eventually you need this original info back.
Basically insanely detailed medical diagrams and life drawing.
Build up a great ref folder of those.

Did I post my colored dargon. Well here's a link just for continuity. (https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/006/632/444/large/matt-shaw-finel.jpg) (what if the gaping dragon was female).
I remember your sketch. Still wanna see a trippy dennisCOLORSCOPE rendering. Your pencil rendition is great. Are you using any little eraser things to make lighter/highlight areas, like the rim lighting on bottom side of forearms, or you're just not penciling there?
If I were you, the most I'd do on paper at this point is ink lines over the pencil. Actually no, I'd do that digitally too - why ruin all that nice pencil (imean I would definitely scan it in BEFORE inking over it so I had a scan of the pencil-only drawing, but still) . . . So if I were you, and I wanted to take the rendering to the next level I'd scan in, and actually stay in black and white and work on the values, since right now it's all rather evenly lit, darken the trees up, darken the ground up, make the dino pop, etc etc, just my thots.

'Tis the strange magic of dragon-bro-ship. Also, you're too kind, I wish the part about pwning anything was true. pistachio also recently wrote I'd be outpacing everyone... but I think that's far from the truth. On many days feel like I'm walking backwards, not making any progress at all.

Yes, I remember seeing that dragon mommy queen in all the full color glory. Still looks great (also recently started another Dark Souls play-through (vanilla not remastered) and managed to beat the dragon king on the first attempt this time with the help of Knight Solaire).

I always try to just pencil or not pencil first and only erase if I f'ed it up or if I feel like I need to lift someplace that I made too dark... there was a hard limit to how often I could do that however since the paper I used was low-quality-stuff, so there are many mistakes I just have to accept as staying there forever. Lived in constant fear of tearing the paper and in the end I did not dare to try balancing the values anymore. wip states in the spoiler:

Many thanks for the c&c, it's much appreciated. There are other things besides the values that I'm also unhappy with: flat plants, boring trees, perspective issues, inconsistent line/shading style on dragon, lack of interesting skin texture... and then last but not least, the composition feels kind of dead and boring as well now. Drew it on and off between 25th of April 2017 and yesterday, happy to be "done" with it. Pondering whether it's worth trying to fix all the problems or if it's better to just start a new dragon scene from scratch, because I feel like that other piece is dead beyond repair (already sprayed fixative over it, so the only way to continue it would be digital).

I remember the day you re-launched your anatomy annihilation campaign in the Pix Slack server - if you really feel you're stagnating or going backwards, thats a HUGE deal. Try and figure out why. Pistachio and all of us are just casual observers, only your opinion matters.
My biggest thing I notice is your consistency. I'm never that consistent. Definitely a weakness of mine.


New DS1 playthrough? ALWAYS a good time to start a new playthrough.
Personally, I love starting new chars and seeing how far I can get before dying (I once beat Dark Souls 2 without dying a single time - possibly the FUNNEST thing I've ever done in the dark souls world).
Eh . . . the Remaster ($%^*$^%$%$%$%). I was really bothered by the Remaster they released. Could've been SO much more. I admit, I bought a ticket for the hatetrain as soon as it left the station. Still riding it. NEVER GOING TO BUY IT. TAKE THAT, CORPORATIONS!
(super secret text: if uhhh, if you get your new char to a point where you got the armor you like and your char's aesthetic look is in place, gimme a screencap. NO REASON.)


Oh boy . . . highly detailed drawings on cheap paper that tears after erasing a few times. been there done that. it's horrific. Maybe these new-fangled kids with their dang digital paperscapes have a point.
Sounds like you shouldn't render the dragon since you feel that way about it. I recommend taking what you learned and applying it to your next one - as you know, shmancy coloring won't mask a weak composition. If you spend 50 hours rendering, you'll hate yourself by the end. Don't dew it!



Playing too much Terraria at the moment and I was thinkin' bout what cool stuff slimes could do if they had stretchy physics-y abilities. Slimes are kewl!

Post by: 0xDB on September 12, 2018, 05:55:53 pm
There is an entire game design somewhere in those slime skills!

My DS1 char is currently in full Havel set, grass crest shield and heavy black knight sword. Not sure I want to continue playing, would have to grind souls at this point to level up for the Anor Londo bosses and grinding is just so boring. DS2 without dying... impressive feat!

Anatomy-annihilation-campaign? Are you referring to complacency-club? Maybe I need more of that again instead of more practice and stressing out about it too much.

Could also be that my theoretical knowledge is too far ahead of what I can practically achieve at the moment, creating a feeling of discomfort and being too judgemental about the output.

Reflecting about it (the feeling of not making progress) some more, I 'should' come to the conclusion that it is probably just mood swings and not something directly related to my practice or a combination of this and the theory/practice mismatch.

Also I think I am a bit burned out after that dragon (on the final stretch of it, I had been listening to the swedish 10 hour loop of "caramelldansen"... the entire 10 hours of it and then some of "they're taking the hobbits to isengard" too).

So I need to slow down and pick up the steady practice again before I really end up hating it.

I want to do more digital work but I also want to train the traditional skill, pencils, pastel chalks, paints, ink... it feels very satisfying to work with "real" materials and to be independent from electricity and equipment that costs an arm and a leg to get started.

When I try to upload the original colors it turns to grayish for some damn reason. No matter if I use png. There are still some errors that I haven not yet fixed. The perspective of the top part of the weapon does not fit with the rest of the weapon. The down shadow are also placed in wrong direction.

No-erase 2B sketches at McDonalds. Levelling up pressure control etc. 'Atelier' tip (inch of lead exposed, long 'bullet' taper) helps a lot with tone + keeping gesture sketch light. Brush smudging afterwards for the expanse of smooth metal.
