Art trade WIP

hese is for a project for tomorrow, from school :b This is the last week of school before Christmas break, so it's been a little heavy on projects, but at least it's drawing, which I like :}

For this project the teacher decided to do something simple, so we had to make posters related to animal conservation.

I decided to make the angry wolf, because I was thinking about a metal cover while I was making it :b and also because I'm angry at the way the fight to prevent the extinction of the red wolf is currently going on, basically it's not going well.

Portrait of my character Ergan/Small, I like how it turned out, it looks better than I expected, although I still wish I could improve the hair XD I don't know why I decided to give him one of the most difficult types of hair to paint.

This is the second part of the monster drawing.

The story goes that there are two islands, one of humans and another of monsters; and there are monsters trading in human trafficking, although I don't know with whom since I didn't make the story. The monster with the skull manages to rescue this girl and seeks to return her to her island, but everyone will stand in their way.

From what I understand she was a slave before the rescue, so she has several scars on her body, her story is quite cruel. Although I don't know how she got the glasses. I like to think she found them, while she was escaping, from survivors who didn't get very far before dying.

So hey, this is a part of my communication homework.

The skull is inspired by the skull of a wolf and a deer. My classmate was the one who came with the idea, I just drew it in my style and corrected some anatomical proportions :b

Hey, sorry, this took me longer than I expected.

I've been wanting to do a remake of Snakebite's ref sheet for a long time, the first time I didn't put much information about him since I wasn't sure what kind of character he was going to be, but now he has a little more development, so I wanted to put that information on his sheet. I also changed its design and its color palette a bit, now it has an isometric design, because I think it looks prettier and I added more tones since I think it looks more realistic that way, although the pattern of its stripes remains the same like his old design XD

He is more than anything a comedy relief character, having very bad luck to get into a lot of misadventures, but enough luck to come out alive and unharmed XD He is one of my favorite characters, although unfortunately the roleplay group where I had him is no longer active, so I don't know if any group would be willing to take him in (T ▽ T). I'm not very active in roleplay, but I do try to make drawings and interact with other characters/players.

I know being a scout it is not a job, work? that exists in warrior cats, but I wanted to create a character that was based more on camouflage and espionage than on direct fighting, so he is terrible in combat, but very good at following objectives and spying on other clans if necessary.

Commission for someone in DA

This was a weird combination of working in grayscale, using the curve tool to add one color to the body, another to the light and shadow, then merging all the layers to turn it back to black and white and continue working on my values , and have a color copy. The color editing, took me more time than the shading or anatomy, I don't think this is the best way to work.

*spoliers!*

Part one of Elsewhere and Elsewhen

Directed by @bridgitiri, boarded by @xctyk and @dadoodraw and my self; written by @aoiszach 🐕 Zach marcus It was my first episode with this talented team; I’m really proud this episode and seeing Luz bond with her cool aunt 🧙🏼

I finally finished it, I continue this commission in my free time, because I was a bit busy with CG academy. I really like how it turned out, it looks better than I expected XD

I honestly loved the design of this character, it is a combination between Canadian lynx, bobcat, and lion.

It was hard for me to draw the mane, because I've never drawn a furry with a mane, even more because lynxes have a lot of fur on their cheeks, so it was even more difficult to think how to draw it XD, but I think it looks good, however, tell me what you think , and what I can improve.

This ended up taking more time than I expected, it's fun, but the stairs and ellipses is the only thing, I don't like to draw much :b though I like the end result.

Finding the VP and auxiliary vps of these references was a pain, but I think I'm getting better at locating them now XD Hopefully when I finish the course I have time to try to draw a scene with what I learn with one of my characters.

The last stairs were the most complicated to do, they turned out better than I expected, but I know I need to improve the perspective some places XD

When the teacher checked it, maybe I will update this work with the corrections, if I have time.

Art Fight revenge on @okardare

Her art fight: https://artfight.net/character/2020086.emmy Character belongs to: nordlichtkunst

The last art fight I've done so far :3

It took me a day to finish it, which is the fastest I've ever managed to do a realistic portrait. There are still a lot of things I want to improve, but at least I think it looks good.

I've always wanted to try to make realistic portraits as attacks to practice, but then I'm too lazy to do the rendering ^^" that's why I always do semi-realism XD

Hey, here is the rest of the practices I did, honestly it was easier than I expected, and I would have drawn more heads, but the canvas was already too big and I needed to do other things.

I didn't draw 3/4 because I didn't find an image I liked enough, so I think I'll be looking for more pose references to practice ^^"

They still have some flaws, but I'm glad they are not as difficult to draw as I remember XD When I have more time, maybe I'll do a second part, or maybe I'll practice with other felines, like lynxes, they're kind of complicated to draw, or cheetahs

Any type of criticism, or feedback is welcome ^^

His art fight:https://artfight.net/character/1656174.samson-the-gentle

I honestly didn't think I was going to finish it today 0.0" I just wanted an excuse to draw a tiger.

The plants don't have that much detail, I tried to focus most of my detail on the clouds and the water, this time I decided to experiment more with the style and color of the clouds.

I don't really like how the water came out, I wanted to add more detail and lights, but it didn't feel it looked that good, so I decided to keep it simpler.

I hope you like it :3 even with everything I liked the final result.

This was originally going to be a realistic portrait of Amaranth but I really like how it looks like this, and I feel like if I keep adding detail to it I'm going to ruin it :b 

This portrait was quite experimental, in itself it is more than anything a sketch and I painted and fix some parts as I start working on the shading, to make it look cleaner.

John Fabian Carlson (1875 – 1947) 

Shadowy Forest, c. 1930

Some of my human ocs I don't usually draw, since I'm bad at drawing humans ;-; If you are interested in knowing more about them: M: It's only the human version of my fursona, so as such he has no history. He has some changes like the hair color and has a few freckles on his nose, there are no more changes, same pessimistic attitude as always. Caliz: I don't know if you remember Candle? Well this is his owner, I don't really like the design of the clothes, I really don't have a precise idea of how I want her to look, so I'll probably change her design later :b Caliz is an apprentice of witch, she comes from a long lineage of witches and tries to improve herself to show that she is on the level of her grandmother and mother, powerful witches of her city, however she is always getting into trouble and creating chaos from time to time. In this world, witches use crystals, plants, seals, and books to cast spells and spells, so Caliz always carries her backpack with her, and small bags to have everything she needs. Mar: I've already drawn him a few times, however I usually draw him as a young adult since it's very difficult to draw kids ;-; Their world currently has no name, that's why I put unknown. An old man from a fishing village found him on the sea when he was about 3 years old, and decided to adopt him, however, after a plague struck his adoptive village, he embarked on an adventure to find a league of heroes which it said their members where cursed to die one by one, and no one knows what happened to them.

Just love the landscape :3

Art by Mengxuan Li

A YCH I did for someone in DA of her character Daylight.

For a long time I been wanted to change, a bit, the design of Amaranth, as well are-design his reference sheet. His original sheet was very dark, and I really don't like how I arranged the information, not to mention that design was a mess and his mane was so dark that you couldn't see any detail. I didn't change his original design much, because in the end it's a design I am very fond of, but if I simplified it a bit and changed the green tones for more orange tones, seens it was the least I liked about his original design.

A sketch I did at around 12 am, I did it in a few hours, so sorry if it's out of proportion. I didn't really like the first drawing I did with this character, so I decided to try it again, and exaggerate the light and the proportions a bit. What do you think? I don't quite like the pose and color palette, so I think I'll just leave it as a sketch :0

You have a beautiful artstyle! Do you take art requests or commissions?

Hey, tahnk you very much, I'm glad you like my art ^^

For now I have my commissions closed, as I already have too much work to finish, sorry ^^"

Hey, I was at my aunt's house, and I was very bored, I wasn't quite sure what to do, so I decided to do a quick painting study. I was trying something different, and it was not paying so much attention to the texture of the fur, so I forced myself to use a single brush to paint everything, like trying to add small accents with other colors. My second rule was to keep it simple, and not add too much detail, but I guess I didn't quite make it ^^" well, it's less detail than I usually do. What do you think?

Hey, after finishing Small's portrait, I decided to do a little face painting practice, to improve my proportions, and better understand how to paint and shade the face. After seeing several references and inspirations, I realized that there are parts where you will always see shadow and help to give volume, like around the eyes, under the lips, the nose, and some shadows on the forehead, I know it looks obvious, but from someone who draws humans once a year it's pretty new   I also tried to paint different skin tones, I've heard that painting dark skin is the hardest, so I wanted to try that it, I saw a video that used red and purple as shading, I rather tried to use orange, red and green, I think It looks good, but tell me what you think   Rendering the light skin was easier as I have more practice with it, except for the albino girl, it was a bit tricky as I really couldn't really make out the shadows well when painting ^^" it was quite interesting to see different tones of skin, and see what technique and color was better to shade Also, sorry if the lips and noses look weird, it's very difficult, it's too different from painting lips and noses of animals, their shape and shading are hard to paint (T-T) Any kind of critique and feedback is welcome ^^

Well right now one of my chickens, and my quail are sick and I'm kind of sad to think about what to say but here is a portrait I've been working on these last 3 days. I was practicing on how to draw human faces and I decided to make a realistic portrait, but then I remembereddon't know how to render skin XD, I'm more used to painting fur. I decided to try to paint a portrait of Egan, or Small, because I haven't drawn him for a long time. I also want to update the reference sheet of Small, and Amranth. Here he looks more like a red head, but I'm still not sure what hair color I'll give him, since I don't like the hair color I originally used :b the same with Amaranth, I'll change his color palette a bit. Well, I hope it looks good, I know the proportions look a bit off, but I changed the position of the face as I worked, and that's why now it looks kind of weird.

I don’t think AI arte is the problem, but rather how unethical is right now, how iregulated it is right now, I hope this project work, so poeple can have an extra protección on their work.

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

I entered a three-day course to learn how to paint birds in watercolor, and it really is more difficult than I expected XD The techer made a really nice texture and shading, but my watercolors dripped all over the drawing (I'm not sure if that how is said in english ^^"), I know I need to practice my watercolor technique more, but I decided to do it digitally to see how it would look in a medium that I know how to use. It still has flaws in the plumage but it's just a practice, anyway I hardly paint birds in general, so it's something I need to improve a lot ^^"

Originally it was just going to be a simple painting practice  with one of my characters, but I started playing with the lights and I really liked it .3. I just feel like adding that extra shading and light always makes portraits feel more alive. And I think it's obvious I really like that kind of light that only covers a part of the face, it helps me to highlight the face and I think it looks really good ^^" The proportions are a bit exaggerated, I think trying to make it super realistic makes it lose a bit of personality, especially with this character .3. I think I'm improving my realistic style a bit more .3. I have had so many commissions these last days and just had been a bit desmotivated, that I have hardly done as many painting practices as I would like ;<;
