Hey all! Sorry for being away for awhile. Time to get back to drawing!

A quick one here - first up is another perspective practice drawing of mayan (or at least, attempted mayan) city. Followed by some sketches and a bunch of collaged doodles that I had done during my free time overseas.






That's all for now. I'll be definitely be pumping out more stuff asap!

The Mayan city looks great!

[tschayssen]

WOW! All those studies really seem to pay off. You improved your skills big time since the last time I stopped by. the mayan City is great and the poses come out really great too. keep them coming!

[Voodoo-Mama]

ohh I really like the perspective drawings! awesome stuff.

[LongJh]

Mack - Thank you !!

tschayssen - Haha, thanks man! Really nice of you to stop by again lol. I plan to keep on pumping out those studies and hopefully improve EVEN MORE! MOOOORE!

Voodoo-Mama - Thank you very much! I think all those perspective practices did the trick haha. Still got a bunch more to learn though!

Another quick update here. I've been trying to plan out my practice schedule abit better, but for now, here's some portrait studies! Done a bit more rushed than I should have, they've got tons of proportion errors. Linework needs improvement too lol.






Aand some more figure studies. Proportion, proportion, proportion.

And line quality.

Hello again! Got some drawings here.

Some figure drawings from photos. Still using a skeletal construction method (you can see hints of it underneath the darker linework). Still have some problems eyeballing the right proportions, though.





And some ID style studies of insects. Borrowed an insect book from the library, gonna study the heck out of it!

[d13598]

Your studies looking good so far

[LongJh]

d13598 - Thank you!

Got an update here. More ID style studies of bugs!







Plus some sketches! The last two pages are part of a little portfolio project I'm doing right now.





Aaand that's all for now. More stuff on its way!

Nice work! Good studies. And I really love those drawings of insects. Never seen anything quite like them before, and they're awesome. Keep it up!

[LongJh]

Ross - Thank you vety much! You can check out FZD student works to see way more of these ID style studies. I'm kinda taking them as one of the guidelines for my own study drawings lol.

Okay! Got a small little update here. First is a really quick study of a town in bird's eye view. Really quick and sloppy with this because I had like only 20mins to paint before I had to rush off. But I think I managed to capture the colours proportion pretty ok, it looks way better zoomed out! Might do a couple more of these.



Aand more bug studies. Again, using an insect book for reference. It's called Insects of the World by Anthony Wootton. Pretty cool. I'll be attempted to translate these isometric drawings into 3D perspective the next time.




And last are a couple of sketchbook pages. More visdev sketching and studies for my portfolio project - a redesign of Guardian's Crusade, an old PS1 game. The last page I was trying to draw some baby animals in order to learn how to capture "cuteness" lol. Trying to figure out how to redesign that little creature on the top left hand corner of the page.

Hey all! Got another small update here. Sorry for being so slow, been pretty busy on my side lately and working on some other stuff. I'll definitely keep as consistent with my practice as much as I can!

Just some quick studies of modern architecture. Sloppy, and weak colours. Architecture like these needs a different approach to painting and brushwork that I still haven't seem to grasp properly yet. Gonna have to practice them more.

[LongJh]

Hi all! Getting slower with the updates, but I got some more drawings and paintings now.

First is more digi studies of modern architecture. All of these are done pretty quick. I think I'll need to spend much more time and do some proper, patient studies instead of these quick speedies. It's a little too sloppy for my liking to be honest - still struggling with brushwork and colour for these.







And more ID bug studies. Had to return the reference book I loaned from the library, soo in the meantime I'll be brushing up on my perspective construction and line confidence (which were severely lacking in these studies).

[LongJh]

Hi hi!

Got some stuff here. A couple of studies done along with Scott Robertson's tutorials. First is just some value studies and second is me learning how to plot simple cast shadows.




Plus some more sketching! It's a character for my portfolio project.




Also I've been working on these two characters for awhile now.




Aaand that's all for now. See you guys soon!
