Konstantinos here. I am a doctor from Cyprus, currently working in Greece and I have a pretty heavy weekly work schedule. I do have a dream though of one day drawing my own independent comic book, not in order to join the comic book industry, (I'm quite satisfied with my job) but to show my own love for the medium. I was influenced a lot from american superhero comics, manga, and the giant robot and tokusatsu genres of Japan. I try to get to a decent level as an artist where I will be able to draw panel after panel from imagination. So far I practiced a lot of gesture and construction, mainly via pencil. I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to rendering although I have dabbled in inking and digital coloring. As I said my workload allows me to draw for about 2 hours per week where I try to do some focused practice. These days I study a lot of gundam mobile suits, cars and industrial design in order to be able to draw aesthetically appealing mecha. Those drawings have been done in the span of about 3 years of work in different phases of my art learning. Any help is appreciated.

Hospital's Hope. I love Berserk and I am a casual Green Lantern fan. I drew this during the first quarantine. It's a "Blue Lantern-style" superhero symbolizing every person in the hospital's staff playing their part in the fight against disease. Spreading hope as well as drawing power from it. I myself worked in a covid clinic a few months ago and I got to see live what unexpected heroes look like real-time. So that's my tribute.

Gundam head concept side view. Anyone else interested may post as well.

Hi! Nice intention there :D I don't use facebook much but I'll go check it out :D. Also why not post some of you guys progress on the forum? it would be nice to have them here rather than being diluted by facebook algorithm :D

Gundam head concept. Anyone interested may contribute any helpful feedback.

A Kaiju I came up with last year on Kaijune. I love Pacific Rim and Kaiju/mecha related themes. This year though for me is all about learning mecha and industrial design so far.

Hello Siqi!!! I am a doctor from Cyprus, studying in Greece in my first year of medical residency, second year of training after medical school overall. i started drawing as an amateur in my final year of medical school and it was indeed hard to find the time and energy, but the emotional reward was indeed something else. A few years later its the same story. Long working hours, lack of sleep, studying of other subjects can indeed take their toll. That being said I do love drawing very much so one way or another I am gradually building a system in order to be able to keep drawing and even improving over time. I am glad to see that there are other people in the same boat.

I don't think I'm in a position to offer a class on the subject atm but I do have an interest in mechs. I've been drawing them since I was a kid. Gundams can be pretty challenging. For the technical skills you'll need to study perspective and some anatomy. For the design you'll want study the gundams you like to understand the design language then focus on taking inspiration from real world things like armors, robotics, or other subjects you want to Gundamify. I wouldn't mind starting a study group on this subject where we set up challenges and critiques.
