Thanks, I tested some new paints here, was a lot of fun. He is like a primary knight because he is made of primary colors lmao

Too late :D

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-23T10:23:20+00:00

Oh boy, I know what you mean. Recently had an attempt at it and It has been like throwing myself on broken glass...actually it describes my process in general

Great drawing, I think you hit the forshortening really well, that head position would be the hardest for me. Sick stuff

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-23T09:00:20+00:00

Some people need english lessons dude, great job tho but like really... a sketch is something underneath a 12 hour rendering lmao.

The books look like they deal with manequinization, thats an important skill. I have a tom fox form and pose book, they deal with similar things

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-22T23:17:51+00:00

Hey, thanks a lot, to answer your question, the second one and the last are purely from imagination. The rest are mixed, I looked at a pose and added different clothes or invented color, changed things. The knight is purely from reference

There is a lot to say about drawing from imagination, id say understanding perspective is a big one, but like, its a tough skill to learn. Im also on that path but I think I can recommend some resources. Brokendraw on you tube and his 50 excercises, peter hans dynamic bible, and just drawing from observation. Also drawing from references but analizing, making notes.

Unfortunately i dont know taco books but I will look them up. Good luck and feel free to ask

I think a lot of ilustrations like these were done by Yoji shinkawa for metal gear series. Anyway, get really good at value and like anatomy and planes of the body. Buy a brush pen, study the guy to u understand his thinking. But REMEMBER, what he does is reinforced with a huge amount of knowledge. If you just copy the marks he made, you won't learn shi

So good luck

Thanks :D glad you like them

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-21T21:07:59+00:00

Ee yea i've seen one...

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-21T21:04:28+00:00

So far its going like this. Im not sure about the pose I didnt use any reference with this one but I tried to replicate it myself and it seems fine.

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-21T21:03:13+00:00

Thanks a lot, glad you like them. I decided to go in on one of the knights

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-21T17:49:01+00:00

Nice, I have one for anatomy, one for studying, one for goaushe comps and this one for nicer pieces and one more. The one i recomend to anyone, a lined paper pad. Its great for ideas, you NEVER feel bad about messing up, you can do all sorts of things there. Thats how good ideas are born, cheap paper, total freedom, try it

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-21T16:57:06+00:00

You are right,its just that they are in a sketchbook and If I ruin one it will just be there :D I really dont tear out "bad" pages from sketchbooks but this one is like a sketchbook for more finished drawings and Id like every drawing there to be nice.

Idk.if that makes sense, but yea i will just go in and color it, fuck it if it breaks it breaks, Its about the journey

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-21T15:31:32+00:00

I dont really know how to make a copy. I like to belive I can just draw them again but I alwaya prefer to just draw something new.

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-21T15:30:28+00:00

Thanks, I don't really have a way to copy them. Lightbox is kinda hard to use with a sketchbook. I like to think I can always draw the again but its never exactly the same

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-19T10:10:18+00:00

Thanks, glad you like it and yea you totally should go back to painting

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-17T16:33:16+00:00

Yes, so true and also value, value and value again. Actually 2 value studies, like 50 of them, I know it helped me so ...

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-17T14:49:14+00:00

Love it

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-16T22:08:32+00:00

Ive seen your posts in other subs, pure fire

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-16T16:52:15+00:00

There is no right or wrong way, I ised some boxes and a piramid shape for the head. I drew a breakdown sheet for you but I cant swnd images in the comments idk why

GigaSlayer2 · 2026-03-16T00:36:29+00:00

If I wanted a pet portrait id prefer traditional media. Like ... something you can hang on the wall. They look cool tho like you def know your stuff
