The First Descendant

 

I've been playing a lot of The First Descendant lately from Nexon and I gotta say it's pretty good so far. I'd describe it as a crossover of Warframe and The Divison. Grindy as hell but I'm no stranger to it coming from warframe.

 As for my art, i've been drawing rather... risque work for the blog post but it's been consuming a lot of my drawing time so I don't have much to show for it. Hopefully some more studies come in the future.

*tips fedora*

 

 

I've been playing so much Elden Ring it's unreal, for 3 days after the new DLC dropped I just woke up, played, then went back to sleep. Haven't done that in at least a year. This was supposed to be a more relaxed drawing of the wing stance but I ended up making it look more stiff, and that is completely due to the head. I tried to give it a more natural and relaxed tilt but doing so directly from behind is way tougher than it seems.

Lately, I've been skipping 90% of my usual construction work and just going straight to contours. I saw some Korean artists' livestreams on youtube and noticed they all have crazy efficient line economy and it really appealed to me. Not only was what they were drawing attractive, they got it down on the canvas in no time at all. I've just been trying to do that and I'm not seeing a ton of results, but I am seeing some, so that must mean their is some truth to it somewhere.

 As for the fedora joke, the new weapon that uses Wing Stance is called Milady.

"roguelike"

 

Was just doodling a rogue character for a D&D playthough I might be partaking in. It'll be my first one so I wanted to make the character look nooby too. He has an anime-styled cowlick that gives away his position to enemies way too often.

I use arch btw

 

Okay... I don't actually use arch... but I couldn't help myself alright. Arches are the focus of this unit so be prepared to see a lot of them.

Getting back into the flow

 Just a quick render, I've been thinking about how my anime sketches tend to look way worse than when the lines are clean cut and drawn. Been recently doing viscom exercises in between and still chipping away at perspective. I might post some of my warmups here every now and then

Never ask me to draw airplanes

 

 

Getting some more perspective work out of the way, really showed how much I suck at drawing objects in perspective. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, cause this is the last diagram for this unit. Next unit has some cool stuff about arches but the one after that has object making which is gonna be super cool. The past 4 units have been super tedious and repetitive, so I think I will get a lot of work done for the next units.

Real collar

 

Saw this kind weird collar from an anime, been doing a lot of realistic stuff lately but anime is fun to draw. Expect a lot of posts soon!
