We'll use one idea per day, and it'll be updated at midnight EST everyday.

The first idea is a fantasy character of any fantasy race, i.e. goblin, orc, elf, etc.

Good luck! In general, spend 45 minutes to 2 hours on your sketch

Try using a much bigger brush for large areas like the sky. Also it helps if you draw strokes into the direction of the "surface", which in the case of a sky is almost always horizontal.

I'll set up today's(in case someone still wants something for today) and tomorrows idea.

Saturday: Design a dress for a female character in either 21st century or 20th century clothing.

Sunday: Draw a character, focusing on the gesture and accuracy of the hands (and have the hands be an important point of focus in the drawing).

S-so-soon g-guys, I'll get a new phone so I can post my things.

I'll set some more up for the rest of the week.

Tuesday: Design a 'mount' suitable for a fantasy character. It should be capable of fast movement.

Wednesday: Paint/design a character of any Asian ethnicity. Use reference to attain accuracy.

Thursday: Paint/design a transportation vehicle for the sea/ocean. Ships, submarines, etc.

That's too bad. If you want to, start reading Perspective made Easy by Ernest Norling and I'll create some ideas that can be executed with the skills learned in the book.

Friday: Replicate the photo, but do not copy it exactly. Instead of painting/drawing an un-even ground plane(and thus, an un-even fence), in your drawing make the ground and fence level. Establish a horizon in your drawing at the height of the vanishing point of the fence; do not guess.


 No.4027

>>4026

Ahh, and also, if doing this traditionally, and you're focusing on the perspective, focus just on getting the fence to sit right on the ground plane. Don't worry about the background or establishing the tones/values in the picture.


 No.4029

I've been just reading about perspective in Loomis and 'Perspective Made Easy'. Basically getting the right angle of that fence corner is most important right? (with setting the horizon ofc)


 No.4036

>>4029

Well, even if you got the angle wrong and the angle was significantly off from 90 degrees, you still have other things of equal importance to think about.

On the wooden side of the fence, you essentially have to draw 8 equally spaced lines to the vanishing point to set up the 4 horizontal planks.

On the right, 6 equally spaced, equally THICK horizontal lines(to simplify, instead of trying to draw 12 lines).

On the left, you'll need to use diagonals through the midpoint/midheight of the fence(vertical), to set up the spaces(which is necessary, because the spaces are decreasing visually).

These three things, plus the angle, are pretty much the most important. If you get any of them majorly wrong, your image will be funky.

When you draw the snowcaps, you'll want the bottom curved line to be correct in relation to the horizon.. They're essentially segments of an ellipse. You should be able to estimate these and aren't as important. The snowcaps are just spheres, so as long as you draw them correctly diminishing in size, you're good.

Forgot to mention that part.

Done that exercise yesterday. Pretty nice book btw.

Great book in my opinion. Loomis books are always intimidating for beginners, but the truth is theyre worth read anyway because they explain and teach to do everything with a very simple logic behind them.

I'd almost call them "art for Dummies"-books because thats what they essentially are once you just start reading them. Stuff like perspective dont seem so scary anymore.

This works well. Thanks for formatting something like this, considering I keep forgetting to update. If images weren't posted for an idea, I guess it makes sense that we recycle it.

I had completely forgotten about it, sorry

How is it? I haven't drawn in a while so I might have forgotten a couple things about perspective. I tried to make the posts spread evenly but I fucked up(tried to make the line go through the middle of the post and all the way to the top) so it's kinda random.

>tried to make the line go through the middle of the post and all the way to the top

Nevermind, I'm retarded. I tried to find the center as if it was horizontal intead of in an angle and it fucked up the spacing.
