Posing 3D Figures Part II - Non-humanoid Figures
Digital Art Week Preliminaries To avoid misunderstandings: My 3D coordinates widget runs as follows:
X-Axis from left to right. Movement around this axis will be called BEND (as if you bend your knee).
Y Axis from top to bottom. Movement around this axis will be called TWIST (like the dance).
Z Axis from front to back. Movement around this axis will be called TURN (as in turning your hand upside down). Non-Humanoid Figures General tips on posing Remember that even fantasy creatures and aliens should have a skeleton, tendons and muscles (or anything else that supports, connects and moves their body). If you have a creature whose design is ...
How to avoid common mistakes while drawing horses by Astralseed, journal
How to avoid common mistakes while drawing horses
Digital Art WeekHi everyone,
Today I'll be writing about how to avoid common mistakes while drawing horses.
If you're not used to drawing horses, or you haven't studied their anatomy extensively, you're likely to make one or more of these common mistakes. Let's learn how to avoid them so that your horse doesn't end up an eccentric mess like this guy below. (gif by @thetadonaldson) References This kind of applies to anything you intend to draw and not just horses, but I can't stress this enough so I felt the need to include this here.
When I talk about using references, I mean work from photos or real life. Please don't use other art...
Bringing emotion through values by SarcasmNymph, journal
Bringing emotion through values
Landscape Art WeekendEvery painting has a feeling associated with it, a central theme, an emotion, a mood. However, when it comes to landscape paintings, the mood of the painting takes center stage. In a large setting, the mood is one of the fundamental ways you can grab the attention of your audience. This could mean the lighting, color palette, composition and of course subject matter. Now subject matter is often the most influential aspect and the main thing that will determine what mood you want to set for your painting. However, it is just as important to make sure that the rest of the elements compliment that mood rather than confli...
Anatomy of the Human Face by NykolaiAleksander, journal
Anatomy of the Human Face
Digital Art Week Mirror, Mirror... Faces are most definitely the one thing we see a lot of in our life, and yet, many artists struggle with drawing them.To be fair, faces are one of the hardest things to draw, as they are not like landscapes, where it doesn’t matter if a tree is a few centimetres off in height or width or even position in the painting. If you move any of the facial features just a little too much to the right or left, up or down, a portrait immediately looks strange, if not completely wrong. And that’s just one hurdle, because the individual parts that make up the face pose a challenge, too.In this article, I’ll be going o...

Posing Figures in 3D Part I - Humanoid Figures
Digital Art WeekHi,
it’s Lessa again, this time smartassing about one of my favourite hobbies – 3D rendering.A good render relies on the same things as a traditional or digital painting: good lighting, good textures and a convincing subject. One of the most important factors for a convincing subject is a convincing pose. And unfortunately, that’s difficult to do. But fortunately, it’s just a matter of knowledge about bones, muscles and a little physics (or a little experimentation).Boo! Did I scare you off already? No? I’m impressed. Then, Brave Adventurers, follow me. I won’t talk about a specific software or a specific model but give hin...
Intro to Photobashing (Textures) by Gaidenlight, journal
Intro to Photobashing (Textures)
Digital Art Week Intro Photographs can be used in a variety of different ways to help speed up your painting process. Some example of these uses are: to get an initial color palette, to fuse multiple images together to create a new one, or to use a photo to add textures to forms you have already established on your canvas. Working with deadlines doesn't typically allow you time to spend 20 hours in rendering a painting to completion, especially when working on products that require near photo realistic level in details. This is just a basic guide to show you a few tools, to add some texture to forms in a quick and easy way. How to use Clip...

A Guide to Timed Studies by Riemea, journal
A Guide to Timed Studies
Digital Art WeekIn this guide I'd like to introduce you to timed studies, including a guide on how to effectively do timed practise studies, as well as some do's and don'ts. What is a timed study? A timed study is exactly what the name suggests: a painting study done during a set time. That time limit can be anything from a few seconds to an hour or two, depending on what it is you want to practise. "Study" can mean: 1) from a reference image and/or 2) preparatory drawing for a "full" piece (to practise a certain element of the future artwork or as a way to experiment before beginning the "real" artwork). Usually reference images are invol...
Basic Figure Drawing by Thiefoworld, journal
Basic Figure Drawing
Digital Art WeekIn this tutorial I'll show you the process of drawing people, using a base of basic shapes which can be used to draw different types of figures. The Base First, we'll create the base. For this, remember that in their most basic form, every person is composed by a head, a torso, and two legs and arms, so we're going to create a structure composed of simple shapes resembling these: Draw a circle, this will be the head. For the neck, simply draw two little lines at the bottom of the circle. For the torso, draw a rectangle beneath the neck. It doesn't need to be a perfect rectangle, in fact is best if it's slightly modified so ...

Interviewing Maja Wronska (takmaj)
Interviewing Maja Wronska (:devtakmaj:) You're a freshly graduated architect, am I correct? When did you realize for the first time that this is something you want to do with your life? Yes, you are – I’m very happy about it. Well, to be honest, it all started when I was just a baby. My mom is an architect, she never forced me to be one, but, well, I just get some of her passion in my blood. When I was a kid, she let me color drawing designs of facades, and sometimes she showed those drawings to actual clients! I was so proud when she wasn’t ashamed of my drawings and I have to say that I was only 5 years old. In addition, we always h...

Interviewing :devweroni: You are a fantastic young artist and a medicine student. How do you manage to create and study such uneasy field at the same time? Thank you very much, it means a lot that you think so . It's true that when you study medicine, you're more or less glued to your chair for 6 years, but usually, by the end of the day, after all the studying and work in the hospital I like to relax for a while, and I've found that painting really calms me down and helps me unwind after a long day. It seems that watercolor is your favorite technique to use in your artworks. Do you have a particular relationship with it, why did you cho...
