The Daily Sketch

[Ellian]

I like that mechanical stuff!
Something seems weird with yesterday's perspective (the left drawing), the arm is round and the hand look really flat in comparison.


Self-portrait I made as a part of this week's compixellated challenge~
I finished my first commission, but I'll have to wait a bit before I can share it

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 =)

@DatMuffinMan
Welcome here~!

@Cyangmou
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
And I never draw much because of the lack of copy/paste/etc, so I totally understand ahah



Aaand here's my first commission ever. Yay!

practice

Plant lady!


I have a bunch of other, errr, stuff, but I won't post it here.
(I mean I COULD use the spoilers tag, but it's from my game's hidden secret easter eggs, so...)

[Cyangmou]

you mean p... o... stuff?

not much, just played a bit around with semi transparent crystal rendering, reflections and the value (db's 32)

you mean p... o... stuff?

I mean <censored>, <censored> or even <censored>. Yes, that's a thing.


I finished animating all current beans (I probably will make more, but eh) + coins for my game!

EDIT:
Also mermaid.

[Cyangmou]

a c'mon ...  I will support you with putting some additional p's in the chat sooner or later 

hat and sword icon are really really lovely =)

started Sunday with another round of the portrait game.
Uma Thurman and Kit Harrington for practicing drawing actual people relatively quick
random Asian girl, I did first with frontview for warming up drawing a kid and practicing the Asian physiognomy
feeling like I am getting more confident with every practice drawing I do =)

initial sketches.
Guess would need a cleaner drawing for the actual mechanism and some more detail, but the rough idea works (at least in my imagination)
