Crimson Daggers

[Elnazareno]

some ver very basic block figures to practice some very very basic lightning... and a very quick still, Im gonna see if I can get something more done later on today... I need help with the coloring... I dont know if its because of the brushes I use or what but it always looks like cheap markers...

[agelaos]

put a few more hours into it, even though it doesn't look like it. Pretty frustrating to work on.

[alexson]

That looks sweet, Agelaos. Don't be too hard on yourself! Adapt and overcome, like the fkin marines!

[petitemistress]

DAGGAAAARS! you guys are rocking! it got me thinking... should I post up the Bridgeman studies I've been up to? and the life studies? etc...

[Bombur]

Collywobbles is just too good, man, too good.

Did some studies from the ref images he posted.

[kv_ak]

So much cool stuff is posted here- keep on rocking, folks!

[NickyBeats]

i thought this was a comic book thread. i think because of the title or something, but instead i walk into this studies mania. craziness. i love doing studies, maybe ill toss a few up in here too! i swear when people start doing studies its more contagious than the flu.

KEEP ON ROCKIN!

Pretty much what Dave did was draw a basic apple life study and talked about what's going to happen down .The line for the CRIMSON DAGGER'S!! and stuff like that and now .We have 2 live streams we can go to one with ,zach ,domo and there sitting up times for them to start also. Bobby Chu paid the Crimson dagger's a visit and is going to help us out in anyway he can..

Hey what up NickyBeats


You can join in if you want to but you have to check out .The Crimson Dagger's live stream with Dave and stay focused and study with use everyday from 9:00 est,(or what every time zone your in),and into other member streams to. But it's up to your to study and come to the streams and no Procrastination!!!...

Heyaaaa Daggers!
Since my last view (page 9) there's a ton of new studies, proving that mostly of the people there still engaged in the spirit.

Today I keep my studies (at morning) and right now in Face Planes - front view. It's a shame to admit that I never study Loomis. It's so easy to follow and understand. "Why Hogarth...whyyy ?" lol

I really learned a lot today and I hope all you guys feels the same (if not, you'll, for sure).




That's it Daggers! Let's keep the focus. Any comment, critique...would be very appreciated.

ps.: let's not over-stream the whole thing. Draw first, watch later. ;-)

[Lee]

My still life today. I spent like 5hrs on this. Forced myself to use saturated color cause i always paint so desaturated. I feel good about it. Rock on Daggers!!!!!

[VirgL]

you guys rocks ! i agree with nicky, worst than the flu
too bad my cpu crash when i watch freaking videos, damn piece of junk !

[Elnazareno]

ugh...

[Trator]

haha finally started , i am feeling apprehensive about the 2 glassy candles and the red sheet... loooooots of creeds >.> some other custom brushes could do the job,

need to fix some light aberrations, and some colors too, the 2 candles lights off, so i 'll continue tomorow, it is 6 am here, may be gonna sleep, i'll continue next night ( no changing sunlight )

[Undeadartist]

Here is my studies for the day need to do more metal studies but i am starting to learn more about it feel free to fire away at how bad they are.

p.s. in order of completion

[Metal Fingers]

Well, left my tablet at my parents house over the weekend so no digital studies, kinda busy Uni at the moment but I did get this in today during class, I put a little still life in his cloak at the bottom. Good work daggers, Lee that candle is fucking sweet, that green wax feels really luminous.

[Henchman 21]

updated crab!!
also super busy, but never to busy for the daggers.
think ill move on and do some cloth/glass stuff now.

[Dibujio:Guru]

holy shit metal finger's and Henchman !! those are bad ass..


Here's a quick study from ref..value's suck ass lol

[.:WoLf:.]

[Melfey]

I don't like my linework in those anatomy sketches.
Had no time to finish watching Zach's lifestream...

[Steffler]

breaking the crutch with collywob

[lowkey]

Hey guys, dont know if I'll have time to do the anatomy stream before the next one starts but here's my study from today (yesterday? tiimezonness). I couldn't attend it properly because of a horrifying exam that stole part of my soul.

Planning to do a bunch more still lifes of metal objects because I really struggle with it.

[alexson]

Hey all, my morning studies. Colly if you're reading this I'd like to see some legs and hands in your stream sometime. Would be sweet. Looking forward to todays session.

[peter_john]

Spent 2 hours on this guy this morning:

Getting a single light source and simplifying the subject matter helped a ton to start with. I might keep doing single subjects for a bit and begin to add more things as I go.

I can see the perspective is wrong on the sketchbook too, so I'll fix that next time.

I'll have to get a new pear too, since I ate that one

[AlexTooth]

Guys, one way to set up rule of thirds -

You can make a new action for this also -

So, new action, record

-> View
-> New Guide
-> In "Vertical" Box type 33% <enter>

-> View
-> New Guide
-> In "Vertical" Box type 66% <enter>

-> Repeat with the Horizontal Box.

-> Stop recording the Action.

Now you should have thirds setup on any document you use this action.

Hide/show them with "View > Extras" (You can make this as an action too)

[Elophant]

nice studies ... especially the still lifes look awsome!

For anybody that wants some more study time on composition, or a reference to keep around in addition to what Dave was talking about today, you might want to check out the Famous Artists Course on Composition.

Scroll down past the links and check out the jpegs inline in the post (the links might be helpful too...those are some resources that John Kricfalusi put together). Hopefully this helps back up some of the stuff that was covered today.

Well you are in luck, today we will be doing legs and poses. I usually break up my studies so I don't spend too long on a figure. Hands should be done on their own like heads I think. Feel free to do it anyway you want though.
