Some basics from my sketchbook!
4yr
Vincent Aquilina
Been studying fundamentals slowly but surely! I used to be an artist who only knew how to paint through observation but never touched fundamental stuff!
Holy crap the quantity!!! The skulls!! π ππ wow this is so awesome! My sketchbook certainly dosnt look anywhere near this brilliantly presentable hahaha! I love how you organized the pages. It all looks so well done super solid π― The hands, and especially the skulls!! That exploded one and the turnaround are just so awesome. Is that from a MDJ tutorial? Super Great stuff, itβs inspiring to see so much!!
Essentially the pages in the book are mostly Loomis studies, some of Peter Hans Dynamic Bible and then the odd youtube study here and there from Proko and MDJ! I find Proko especially good for breaking down the more complex forms of things like the Pelvis!
Great focused practice Vincent! I wish I was that disciplined...
Trust me my dude! The more you study the more it ramps up, I potentially may have ADHD given my mannerisms towards how I study and how erratic my life can actually be so Im actually getting that checked haha.
It helps to create a good philosophy for yourself as to why you love art, thats mostly what fuels me, other than that though as someone who has had learning difficulties growing up its hard to rationalize in your head that studying is gonna make you better but you'll be hard pressed to commit yourself to the fundamentals and not get anything out of it so keep pressing!!
I love your linework! It makes everything very clean and that helps a lot when you want to improve at art :)
According to the last two panels, I think you need to put in a little more focus in perspective, that's definitelly going to be helpful.
Keep up the good work! :)
yeah perspective without photoshop and grid lines is a real struggle for me from memory so I plan to build that up. The first course I plan to do will be a perspective course to so you read my mind ^^
