Other Guide Story Doodles

 

I was going for a thumbnail/ink doodles kind of approach to getting out images from a scene with Other Guide. Remember Other Guide is the After Avenger I made up who comes from a bubble community controlled by symbiotes. So yes, that's a symbiote, but it's not Venom. Here, the symbiote is trying to convince him not to activate a bomb on the bubble, since they've both felt firsthand all the psychic backlash from outside. I did the classic superhero mask torn in the final confrontation thing. I think some of these look cool at least. 

God, you're my hero. Save us.

Spoiler and Robin

These are some doodles I did in class last semester of what I think a more realistic Spoiler and Red Robin from DC comics would look like. You may remember I drew them earlier and put it on here. Obviously, I like the Spoiler design better than the Red Robin design. I got the proportions right, and that one has a bit more depth too it. Spoiler is a teen vigilante, so I made what I thought a kid would come up with. I based Red Robin's gear more on the Dark Knight film and Nightwing: the Series, because of their more modern armored looks. I thought I'd put these pictures on here since I'm doing sort of a art to blog purge tonight.
God's will be done, always.

Eye Drawings

We learned how to draw eyes at the beginning of the semester, so I drew a few out in my notebook without using my shader. I like the top one a lot. I think it's also a good example of of how far I've come since my best eyes were a circle with a dot in them.
God is good, all the time. Lead me on. Amen.

More Sketchbook Animals

These are all more animal drawings I did for weekly sketchbook assignments in art class. I based them off of google pictures. I think the thing I'm most proud of is the subtractive drawing used to get brighter colors by shading the area and then going back with the kneaded and precision erasers. I have an otter picture I also wanted to put here, but I left it in my dorm room since I haven't gotten back in there after Spring Break (quarantine problems). Honestly, I'm just so happy to be home. This is how I used to do school, and I'd do it all the time if I could. Only a few days of school left, and then it will be summer.
Praise God always. Deliver us, God, from our worldwide distress.

Quick Color

This is another drawing I did for art class last week. I mapped it out based on our in-class model and then did the color in about two hours without a model. It was done very quickly overall just to get the assignment done. The placement and proportion of the features are pretty off. All the facial features are too small, and the ears are too high for starters. But I liked the color well enough to put it here. When I was presenting, someone in class pointed out that it looks like she's just walked away from a fight. They're not wrong. I tried to smooth out some of the reds and purples with other colors, but she still looks kind of beat up.
This was done in colored pencils. I am now the proud owner of skin tone and regular color sets of pencils. What I'm most proud of about this piece are the eyes, lips, and highlights. You'll notice that the highlights of the eyes are pointed in the wrong direction, but other than that I think the eyes look really good. Mapping out all of the highlights on the face beforehand really helped. I could have darkened her left eye a little more, since it's in shadow.

So overall, weird piece, but I'm happy with parts of it. God's will be done.

Full Figure Portrait

This is another drawing I did for art class. The teacher wanted us to draw one boy and girl full figure each. This is someone I know from church that volunteered to be the subject. It wasn't modeling because I took a picture and based this drawing off of that. I'm not great at drawing people realistically, though I am getting better because of class. I also prefer drawing most of my subjects in whitespace, but my teacher prefers a background. It's easy enough. As I understand it, I'm actually much better at landscapes than I am at people, but I prefer people.

This was done in charcoal. I'm not personally a fan of charcoal because it's so messy, but I get the appeal.

God's will be done.

Still Life

This is more art I've done for my art class. It's one of the early (more than half a year ago) big page still lifes I did. It's done in pencil, like most of the stuff on this blog. I used my blending stump a lot to try and portray the glass. Because this was something for class and not for me personally, I don't have that much to say about it. I also put a lot more work into it than most of my art.

Art class has been good because the teacher comes at art from a very photo-realistic perspective. He's detail oriented and wants everything to look exactly right, which is the opposite direction that I come at art from. So I've learned a lot I can apply to my regular work. Praise God. God's will be done.
