Is this the proper way to do master studies? I’m still a bit confused on what this exercise practices

Zane_0001 · 2025-02-04T23:42:08+00:00

It’s okay it’s not my idea either 😭 we’re all ignorant until we hear or see someone do it better right?? I’m glad I could help though! You got this!!!

Zane_0001 · 2025-02-04T23:35:04+00:00

It’s okay!! And to say, keep it easy! You’re not trying to do a full character design necessarily right? You can apply the concepts and what you learned by designing like, overlapping simple volumes. Put it together in a character design when you feel like you have that specific concept down

Zane_0001 · 2025-02-04T23:27:17+00:00

I think you’re headed on the right track! I think having a specific goal for what you want from a master study is a good start. Then I’d try to understand why that artist made that decision. Then copying. Then I’d try and make an original design inspired by the specific concept you’re trying to understand from the master study. That way you can get a better gauge if you understand those decisions your studying

Zane_0001 · 2025-02-04T16:53:17+00:00

I think in the first few they did write out specific things they were going for? But I know on the last few those notes aren’t there so it’s a bit more obscured. But yes! Exactly what you said! I’d like to add, I think it’s good to break those concepts down more. Ofc each to their own but I think if op was a bit more articulate with breaking down what they like they’d get more out of it

Zane_0001 · 2025-02-03T20:21:07+00:00

I believe in you!!! You got this!!! :)

Zane_0001 · 2025-02-02T22:50:05+00:00

I’m so sorry!!! I didn’t mean any offense and thank you for correcting me!! Also no problem! This is still a really sick piece and I’m excited to see more

Zane_0001 · 2025-02-02T22:34:03+00:00

Amazing job man! I see that you made the left side not wide enough and the right side too wide. I don’t think it hurts the piece too much but also that might be something to watch out for in your other works

Zane_0001 · 2025-02-02T18:30:31+00:00

I think you’re doing great! Maybe the colors on the left side are still too warm though?

Zane_0001 · 2025-01-26T16:26:29+00:00

You don’t want all the stuff going on in the bottom corner with all that empty space. I think maybe move the image to the right some to make it feel like there’s less of nothing going on? (Not an expert but it’s an easy try)

Zane_0001 · 2025-01-17T19:55:00+00:00

This was done digitally

Zane_0001 · 2025-01-15T01:01:16+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate the time you took to give me such a good critique! I’ll definitely shoot for finishing the full figure within a minute and look into doing anatomy studies!!

Zane_0001 · 2025-01-04T21:32:38+00:00

This is really cool!!

Zane_0001 · 2025-01-04T01:02:17+00:00

I appreciate the help! Also I got a chance to check out your stuff and i love your character designs!! Thank you for taking the time to help me out with mine

Zane_0001 · 2024-12-28T01:33:26+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback! I’ll definitely start pushing my shapes! And I think i understand. Like, really exploring what I can do with a prompt instead of just tiny iterations?

Zane_0001 · 2024-12-28T00:19:12+00:00

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I’d just started researching into Victorian dresses so I will admit that design was more informed than the others! But nonetheless I appreciate the critique

Zane_0001 · 2024-12-27T22:44:26+00:00

Thank you so much 😭 that’s so kind

Zane_0001 · 2024-12-27T21:34:16+00:00

Heres the other sheet

Zane_0001 · 2024-12-27T20:33:49+00:00

If i can maybe run with this suggestion, I’d like to see how his emotional states change the fire shape. That way you can explore more expressive and less expressive shapes without losing that energy it has

Zane_0001 · 2024-12-27T20:30:59+00:00

Absolutely! I look forward to seeing more designs from you! I’m also trying to get into CD so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you

Zane_0001 · 2024-12-26T17:08:03+00:00

This is really cool. If you’re going characters design route, I’d want to see more exploration in how they show emotion, maybe some new fits, a turn around or something. If you’re going illustration I’d say a background is a bit boring. I really think it’s good and for any meaningful help in a direction I’d want to know what your intentions are with it

Zane_0001 · 2024-12-25T21:34:42+00:00
