Monthly Scraps - July/August/September 2017

Scrappy batch from last few months. Enjoy (or don't... whatever man). 

These sketches are kind of inspired by what I was doing at the time - mostly watching films :D 

That's the one of the advantages of having two screens. 

I've no idea where these come from ^^

That on the other hand is a rip-off of the Yeseo - Million Things album cover. 

An album itself is 28 minutes long, and so was the painting process. 

Some action films and stuff.

That one I did while watching Pumping Iron. 

I don't like it one bit but hey - it's the Monthly Scraps series - that makes it the perfect place for all the trash.

Birdman again...

The last Samurai^^ Film was good. So good that I didn't feel like painting while watching so there's only rough storyboard like sketch.

Tnspired by some fantasy book and maybe a little bit by Lucifer TV show^^

One and only Pulp Fiction. Gosh - I love that film. 

I got kind of carried while painting Vincent and now he resembles Emhyr var Emreis more then Travolta...

Some random trash^^

I did some 3D stuff too, but I don't feel li9ke showing it yet. Maybe next time.

That's it,

So long.

14 Day challenge - Day 14 and summary

I wasn't updating you for a while... Well - I'm lazy ass. That's why.

I finished my 14 days challenge for female faces.

It went pretty good. I've learned a lot.

I don't feel like recapping all the comments and tips I got.

I encourage you to check it by yourself on my G+ - the icon is somewhere on right side I think. At least on PC.

If you don't care what I did and you're here just to check the results I'm uploading here full resolution pics for every day.

The moment I write this I'm on my day #5 of my male faces 14DC so you can expect recap like this somewhen in mid April.

If you're considering participating in 14DC yourself then stop considering and participate...

There's no drawbacks and no one will give a single flying... Yeah... Basically you can post or twice a week and you'll still be able to progress really fast.

That's it.

So long

Monthly scraps - February 2017

So yeah...

When it comes to unfinished stuff that month was dry.

I started the 14DC so I have less time for fucking around and even 'tho I've somehow menaged to produce some crap.

I don't know if I'll finish any of them at all.
I mean I've already saved like 10GB of not so big *.png-s. 

I like quite few of them as the ideas but I'll be able to pull them out as I see them in my mind maybe in 1-2 years from now.

 I'll make 14DC summary after graduation or something. 

 If you want to see all the images I made for that challenge my Google+ profile is linked somewhere on the right side. Just scroll until you find it. 

 Also if you're curious what the 14DC is you can check it HERE. << won't hurt you but may help.

 That's it,

 So long

14 day challenge - DAY 4

Day #4 change-log:

-head is even wider;

-shadow on the sides of the head is gradually lighter toward the top of the skull;

-eyebrows are lighter on the outer side;

-lips are shaded more gradually;

-added more prominent shadow under the lower lip;

Day #5 was total brainfart but you'll see that tomorrow by yourself.

So long 

14 day challenge - DAY 3

Day #3

-Shorter head;

-shadows are lighter on top of the head;

-bottom edges of the irises are more visible;

-the water line of  the eye is brightest in the middle;

-lips are more soft and change to skin gradually;

-head looks rounder and more like a ball or egg;

-eyebrows are darker the closer they get to the nose bridge;

-got rid of that disturbing specular highlight on eyes.

Oh, and the point of that entire challenge is to paint a face from a scratch to get faster and more accurate with every painting.

Those changes are changes in my workflow and habits, not simple tweaks done within one painting.

So long

14 day challenge - DAY 2

I'm currently working on my day #4 but for you I got just a day #2 painting.

I must admit - number #1 and #2 look derpy as f***.

Those are one of the worst faces I recently painted.

Following advice of fellow artists I :

-lightened up the background to make the face pop-out;

-widened the septum of the nose;

-made the lower eyelid more pointy at the outer ends;

-made eyes bigger;

-tried to make head shorter and wider but it came out roughly the same size as day #1 (yeah... brainfarts are real);

Day #3 is much better but we'll get to that tomorrow.

So long

14 day challenge - DAY 1

I'm participating in Istebrak's 14 day challenge. 

I struggle a lot with faces, so I decided to fix that. 

I mean I can draw a face but whether or not it will be appealing is almost totally random.

I mentioned in the very first post I want to be more consistent so that may be good decision. 

That's day #1 

More to come,

So long

COTM :F

^^So yeah... another Jazza's COTM :D

Do you know the legend of King Arthur? 

That one with the Arthur taking his legendary human, Excalibur, out of the stone?

Here's final pic:

And here's the full process: 

I'll update text part of a post in a few hours (or days)

So long

PS: I'll update the other COTM post as well :D simply forgot about that.
