Today's feature artist/reference for is this BEAUTIFUL rock set by @ZestyDoesThings! LOVE how this shows that NO MATTER WHAT your subject, you can achieve a MASSIVE range of designs by thinking about FORM, SILHOUETTE and VARIATON! INSPIRING! #gamedev #animationdev #conceptart

Low angle view of a dove flying through the windowed opening set above the entrance to the ruins of an abbey. Moss and wildflowers grow along the rough wall of uneven stone. The top of an archway—cropped in the immediate foreground as if providing a view directly over the viewers head—catches the golden light of sunset. A weathered copper heart hangs from a chain over the archway. A crescent sliver of moon shines in the lavender and blue sky above it all.

FLIGHT OF DISCOVERY (2013)
Acrylic on Canvas - 16" x 12"

The stonework was based on ruins we saw in Wales, near a place called Three Cliffs on the Gower Peninsula. We had spent most of the day walking on the gorgeous beach there and looking for fossils in the rocks nearby. 1/4

tried doing colouring in overlay... i will try some more, because if i can just do grayscale then overlay, that should speed things up😞
until then
at least i can get laughs out of these... surely that will be enough to motivate me until i start making something better...

Pixelart illustration of a chicken drawn in an abstract manner. The chicken's body is comprised of many wavy lines mimicking the original patterns seen on plymouth chickens. There is no outline on the illustration, the wavy patterns imply where the body is against the background. The illustration uses warm browns and reds.

Experimental plymouth hen.

i like your shape design, it communicates the subject really accurately but also in a very interesting way(i don't usually spend extended periods staring at citrus fruits until this)😑👍

frangle... i have no idea why this one is making that face, when i went to sleep i was thinking that frangle looked great, that was clearly sleepy talking

i'm getting more used to making bad art though which is good, since i have less of a sense of doom that comes with frangle

anatomy diagram

anatomy time, yay😑👍

glorious painting, i like how you use a lot of hue to show depth a strong sense of depth 😑👍

My painting TROUT WATER

thought it would be interesting to show some of the preparatory sketches this day... was trying to be more loose, and more strict with timer, so that i could have something resembling a sleep schedule... progress is there, i just need to keep studying😑👍

i like your composition👍

wicked goblins, i like how you gave them all pretty distinct features while still keeping them all looking like they could belong in the same universe👍

The first part of a four part image series covering deer ear anatomy. This image slide covers the musculature. The overall shapes of the ear can be broken down into a conch-like shell sticking out of a rounded cup.

The second part of a four part image series covering deer ear anatomy. This slide covers common art mistakes that creators make when depicting deer ears. Some examples include putting the ears behind the antlers, making the earbutt too small, drawing canine-like ears, and incorrect shapes.

The third part of a four part image series covering deer ear anatomy. This slide covers perspective and how to draw the ears.

The fourth part of a four part image series covering deer ear anatomy. This slide covers the placement of the ears and how to align them to the rest of the deer's head.

Posting some of my guides here to bsky! This one covers deer ear anatomy. This can also expand to animals like antelope but of course it is not 1:1

1 week... that was my original goal, but i still have a lot more to learn so i will not be stopping here
i've realized that my messy sketches seem to cause a lot of issues, so a lot of time is spent adjusting things

will probably do this 1 week more then move to other subject

i really like your use of colour, and how despite using a lot of super chaotic coluors, you're able to still make them work for, instead of against, the composition👍

i don't usually get angry while painting, but something about spending the hour before my sleep making the sleep paralysis demon to then haunt my nightmares, coaxes the rage out of me

at least this giraffe has a forehead,progress😡

Q: what d'you'll draw that angers you?

#frieren #art #fanart

this is awesome, i really like the strong shape hierarchy you gave the creature, it makes it look really distinct👍

A beaked horror treads through hazy clouds of a dusty apocalypse. Black legs, nothing more than bone and ligament, are thrown so far in front in defiance of gravity it may as well be sitting on the blocky slope it descends. It tip toes on a trio of bird-like feet. There's a notch in its beak where nostrils would be, and the remnants of flesh of its victims stretches between jagged serrations.

My painting NORTHERN LAKE

it's easy for people to discount their own skills, but it is clear to see that you have put a lot of work into yours👍

frangle

o man... this one came right after struggle portraits, so i was not feeling like drawing frangle

the results show that...

the good: freiren no longer looks like a titan
the bad: frieren no longer has forehead space for brain

woe is me, i have to practice art more😞

#freiren #art #portrait

i really like how you painted the foliage in the background, keeping it low contrast to maintain the focal point but also adding a lot of interesting hue variation and shapes👍

you painted the hands with a really strong sense of action here, great work👍

drawing based on Solomon Joseph Solomon's "A Page Buckling On A Knight’s Armour" but with Henry and Hans from Kingdom Come Deliverance

a pages caring hands

some improvement...
for the 1st ~20 minutes i was cooking, then i decided to turn the sketch layer off and try to freehand the nose...
that was a huge mistake and ended up throwing the entire painting way off
happy with progress but still malded about the mistake
😡👍
