Gesture/pose drawing for beginners!Hey guys!
I got a lot of emails after the last poll about gesture drawing. So I want to recommend one of the best book about it and a few helpful sites.
There are plenty of publications about body drawing. Some are worse than others. But one definitely amazed me! It is Mastering Drawing the Human Figure From Life, Memory, Imagination by Jack Faragasso.  Perfectly explains the proportions and shapes. Friendly for beginners and advanced! I often use it. You can buy it online or look for pdf form.
If you want to try a gesture drawing ( wikipedia: typical situations involve an artist drawing a series of poses taken by a model in a short amount of time, often as little as 30 seconds, or as long as 2 minutes ) - I think there are three useful sites:
lovecastle
quickposes
posemaniacs
They help to catch the correct
Feature #1!:bulletpink: Just as I promised. Hope you like these works! :aww:
Over the last few days I've been very busy. The school does not give me any free-time periods - and the next exams is coming soon. :faint: In about two weeks things should be back to normal ... Therefore, the next drawing should appear after that crazy mess ... Nothing in a hurry! :meow:
Battle with the thief is still in progress ...

advice on some stuff to look up before tutorialsso im gonna be starting to make some tutorials soon
before that you should look up some informations
you probably noticed that in my work it is often hard to distinguish if im using a zbrush model or just painined it all in photoshop
reason for that is simple.
my realism rendering is greatly based on 3 d rendering processes.
by this i mean as i learned 3d i became aware of the stuff we usually visually take for granted.
qualities of material, importance of reflectivity, ambient occlusion, and subsurface scattering.
to any 3d  artist these are everyday terms, while 2d artists usually paint them without often even being aware of wheat they are really doing
for instance , a 3d artist will at any given point use 2 types of shadows. cast shadows from a direct lightsource, and ambient occlusion shadows which naturally appear  more intensively  the closer planes of an object are together.
i can get into this  and make it a long discussion , but easier w

I have won with the thief!

:iconlady2:


:bulletpink: Finally! After many unpleasant situations, sleepless nights, so many nerves ... ! Remember how I wrote that someone stole my works? [link]
It turned out that the persons responsible for the comprehensive regulation admitted that this theft is the same theft as any other ... Thank God!
I owe a lot to the new lawyer and my good friend - which strongly support me all the time.
It ended up that my work will be completely withdrawn from sale. A man who distributed them was obliged to pay me compensation.
So I'm very happy.
It's not just about me. It's about every artist - that can meet such a situation. You can not impersonate someone and reap the benefits of  hard work ...
I hope that those of you who will have a similar problem will not give up!
