You can call it vacation if you want. However I felt I ran into a block and to combat that block I put aside time to study up on stuff. And during this period I got more and more impressed with certain Japanese illustrators and animators due to how little they could use to portray volume and I started to see a correlation between certain shapes and the portrayal of volume.
Initially I started studying anatomy to work on my line confidence so I could transfer the same school of thought over to my brushwork since I figured that confidence stems from knowing (or telling yourself you know).
A lot of the stuff was on paper which I probably won't scan in.
Here are some stuff, I might update with more.
Currently working on this one. Started out with me just wanting to see If I could draw some cute in contrast to the depressing knights.
I did some poses of Chun-Li as a warm up. And decided to push it a little. I am going to finish this one.
This is mostly a try to transfer over some of the ideas from line art into brushwork.
That's it for now, I am slowly starting up this machine again after this "vacation" expect more posts of varying quality.
