Inktober 2018 Day 2

“Tranquil”

Here’s day two. I’m not behind on the actual art, just in the posting. Shhhhhh. I think i prefer the sketch for this one more. Plus i think I cheated because i didnt want to whip out the india ink for this and the next one so i just used my micron pens DX

Finally some more art to post that wont get flagged by the nsfw censors XD ive been having a blast with some friends i met through 1999 and we have been enabling each other. One such thing was drawing my Drifter in biker attire. Im working on coloring it, but have the lines for now. I just feel like I haven't seen that many drifters in biker attire.

If you are a biker and you see some things wrong with his garb, no you didnt. Im not going for total accuracy here.

Finally someone explains why to do something and not just what to do

I see this kinda advice passed around all the time here is the thing: shading with black will indeed look bad if you don’t know what you are doing. However, telling people not to do things without explaining why is terrible advice.

Shadows are the opposite of light, this includes in colour.

This means that if you have light in one colour, the shadow will be of the opposing hue, saturation, and value.

Unless the object is white, it has its own local colour -  the object’s true colour, how it would appear if the light were pure white.

The colour of the light influences the local colour of the object. so if you had yourself a brown cube and a blue light, the colours would get bluer and pinker.

now the reason shadows do not tend to be black is because pure white light is hard to find in nature.

the closest you will get to pure white light is during a really overcast day and the sun is filtering through the clouds, but even then it’ll lean towards yellow so the shadows will be slightly blue.

During a clear day, the shadows will pick up a lot of bounce light from the blue sky and have a blue tinge. You can learn more about this in this tutorial: [http://artbyriana.deviantart.com/art/Why-shadows-aren-t-gray-321656856]

But! None of this means you are never allowed to use black.

realistically shadows will have a hint of a colour to them, but stylistically you might be going for, say, a film noir look and deep black shadows are needed for impact for example.

The more you know about how light works, the more informed decisions you can make about shading and the more options you have.

If someone tells you that you can’t do something, they’re wrong! you can do what you like!

yes, black is hard to use and if you just mix a colour with black it’ll get muddy, but thats easily resolved by choosing your colours manually - which ideally you want to do regardless bc the computer doesnt have your eyes & cant choose the colours you like

basically if someone gives you some art advice and says you can’t do something, they’re wrong! you can, you just might need to study a little to figure out how to make things work.

I mean for example, people will say you must make your composition follow the rule of thirds and never align centrally, but while the rule of thirds makes it easy to create visual interest, Mad Max Fury Road is a testament to the fact that central composition can and will work if you experiment.

there are no rules in art! there are theories based on reality, this has been a post on colour theory & light theory, but they exist to inform you, not to restrict you.

Do what you like! Trust your eyes, if you think something looks good, then great! If you don’t, then research & experiment until you do.

Also if you wanna learn more abt colour theory, I go into it in a lot more depth over yonder: http://helpfulharrie.tumblr.com/post/131822744966/ http://helpfulharrie.tumblr.com/post/131958395841/

I think feet are beautiful. Especially beastie foots. As a tidbit of info, the way I draw my feet has been greatly inspired by the way that BeastofOblivion draws her own feet, but I just want to let you all know that while I have been heavily inspired by her, I have spent years pouring over anatomy books and studying how the tendons in feet work so that I know for myself what I can do with the feet of my beasts and how to push and exaggerate their shapes. I make sure that I know what works and how I can play around with styles to reach something that I like for my own style. Self-study in anatomy is crucial to developing your own sense of style and what works for you, so while you may be influenced by someone, you can call your style your own because of your own knowledge.

Inktober 2 is in the works, just gotta ink it now. Its just that i got like 5 hours of sleep so im exhausted

I added a code to my blog that prevents Pinterest pinning without permission if any other artists are interested

This week's monster is a very loose sketch of a four-eyed biped. Unfortunately, I'm more familiar with quadriped anatomy, and so biped anatomy is wonky for me, especially the abs and obliques.

Inktober 2018 Day 31

“Slice”

I am a major slut for pretty and fluid animation, and because this prompt reminded me of Genji, I decided he would be my muse for this day. You might recognize the pose from the Dragons short when he slices Hanzo’s arrow. That scene gave me shivers.
