2024 Part 4 Part 2: Studies and Observation

The last dump from 2024!

 

Yellowroom painting studies...their brush control is really good.

References: 1, 2

 

 

Crom study. I love his character and shape design. He's a machine

Reference: 1

 

I stumbled into a Frank Frazetta art book. Truly one of the greatest draftsmen I've had the pleasure to study from. Really masterful.

 

Composition and likeness studies from Twin Peaks! I wish I could take the quality and energy of my studies into my own work.

 

 From porn. Can't find the sources :(

 

 

SaryBomb's Break Protocols! Truly just slutty subby twink (the sad trash boy on the right) wish-fulfillment fantasy. It's fantastic.

InCase's Library comic and Midlife Crisis. What's there to say about this man? His comic output is ridiculous, and despite his level of refinement and quality he's constantly experimenting with new media and formats and projects. One of the few men who can rival WLW artists in terms of drawing hot sex. I hope one day to approach his level of talent from even like a decade ago.

Yeah, that's it! As I may have mentioned already my goal is to release an illustration every month this year. Heading into 2025 I want to have an established process and some foundational knowledge in all the components of finished work--line, form, color, value, rendering. I can't afford (time-wise nor money-wise) to work on art for more than, at most, 1-2 hours a day, and to improve I need to be really deliberate about my time and adopt practices and techniques that correspond to the time I have.
