One a Day (image heavy thread)

eyestrain's picture
Please join me in posting one a day. This is a challenge to encourage you to work on your craft every single day.

This is a thread for everyone. This is for you.

page:
2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47

There are no content requirements ( you can make whatever you want )
There are no media requirements ( you can make it however you want )
It can be something you've posted elsewhere.

It isn't about posting perfect work. It's about posting your work. It's a way to keep track. There is only a sense of accomplishment for making at least one new thing every day. As you create, you learn.

It's fine to ask for advice or critique. Please do not offer critique unless it is requested. Please use a link for Not Safe For Work (NSFW) images.

The only rule: post only what you have done today. Not yesterday or last month. Only today.


ps- for those who are shy. Don't compete with others. Compete with yourself. Do not be discouraged by others' success. Learn from them instead, and continue forward on your own path.

I'm working on this picture currenly, want to color it and make it pretty. But I'm having a bit some problems with anatomy, the arm especially.
Any critique, help and advice welcome to improve it. D: -flails helplessly-

hi Tuhka I wanted to try and

hi Tuhka
I wanted to try and help so I did an experiment. Took a photo of myself doing the same pose in a mirror (it was a little painful so I tried a slightly different pose). From that I drew some guidelines. Maybe this isn't so useful overall but looking at yourself in a mirror can help with proportion and making a pose look natural (you can probably pose more like you want him to than I did).
Two things I thought to point out- one, when the arm is folded, the wrist starts at about the same distance as the torso meets the shoulder. Second, to keep in mind the 3D space the forearm occupies. When you bend your arm there is some forearm that presses against the bicept (drawn in blue where they connect) and this prevents the arm from bending any more sharply.

To do this same sort of photo-mashup if you want to try it you just have to match the photo to the drawing, desaturate it, and use the photoshop filter "find edges".

Hope that makes sense and helps at all, please ask questions if I didn't explain well

Eyestrain, I could kiss you for that!
Was more helpful than you might think. I've been struggling pretty hard with that arm and simply couldn't get it right but I think now I understand how it's supposed to go.
Thank you for taking your time and effort to help me with this Laughing out loud

EDIT:

Finished it, omfg. -headdesks-
This one was such a challenge.. surprisingly.

Reference. Referencing



Reference. Referencing actual deer anatomy is extremely helpful, especially for unusual poses.

thank you for creating this,

thank you for creating this, eyestrain. ^^ I will try to post on here whenever I can. Also, it says "One a day", does that mean we can't post more then one drawing if we drew more then one today? Sorry for asking such a silly question. Cool

Tuhka, I'm really glad you were able to finish. You did a great job.


Disorder, thank you for participating.
You can post as much as you like, I just find it easiest to post everything from one day together.

There is slight nudity in this one, but I felt that due to its tactful concealment, it shouldn't bother anyone.

If it does, please tell me (:

In any case, just a winged human Pandora. I figured, if she wears no clothes as a fawn, why would she wear any as a human? Haha~

(by the way, I really cannot draw humans. No references were used. So i apologize for failing haha~)

Thanks, Unplugged! Hopefully,

Thanks, Unplugged! Hopefully, I'll get some doodles and stuff up soon ^-^

Pandoras, It looks really good. I see no reason why it should bother anyone!

And here comes more human practicing. Only that now I added my worst enemy in it - canines.
A little project of mine actually that I'm not sure I'm going to finish completely but we'll see how far I'll get with it.
I'm relatively happy how the wolf turned out considering I actually had no any actual ref for it, only watched some pictures in general. Though, paws.... yeah.

Critique/help is welcome again. I really want to improve in these fields.
