Jan 2017 COTM: LEGEND of the AXE

Finally I can go into colors, I try to make as many layers as possible to easily change colors in the end. I have no time to do some color studies. I am seriously surprised with how it is turning out so far though.

Might become an all-nighter this friday and I might have to ignore the wings (but I really want them in =/)

Theres still a long way to go with this (including making the axe a lot larger since I saw the scale of it) but this is the basic idea I'm going for??

Looks great, I am in the same boot. I have to start drawing as soon as I get home from work or I am not going to be able to finish it. Maybe a all-nighter. Hope we can both finish in time =)

The only thing that threw me off is the position of the axe, it looks unnatural, like if it was pasted on top of the rest. Try to give it a little of perspective.

Thanks for the advice, ill try to fix it

I know how you feel, I'm up every night trying to get in as much drawing as i can, then going to bed at 2 AM and waking up at 5 AM for work, I feel like a zombie every morning lol but its worthit.
Hopefully ill be able to get my tablet next month because drawing with a mouse really puts a strain on your wrist. Best of luck to you, cant wait to see your final piece :)

Perhaps you can work on your drawing for 2 hours or so depending on how tired you feel, I had a couple of all nighters and took one day off from drawing to rest an it helped alot, my brain was refreshed afterwards, hopefully that will help you.

This is gorgeous, and definitely not a waste of time. If it is something you love and are passionate about, it is never a waste.

I'd love to see more of your art!


Allons-y!

If you enjoy what you do, it's never a waste of time.
I don't know your situation, but I try to look at it from this way:'Will I regret it on the day I die if I stopped doing this?' Art is not an easy field to earn money, maybe that's why your family wants you to do a easier job.

The real failing is when you stop trying.

The sketch
The story behind it is that
There is a museum of Jazzas artwork which is hidden deep underground so no one has been able to find it and they are the first visitors in centuries

Did some colouring, I don't have much time left and I didn't have much time this week. I hope I can finish this but it's going to be hard work the next couple of days. Next step background and details! I am going to see if I am drawing the aliens on the foreground or not. Wich is pretty important... so yeah

Another Update on my WIP, made slight changes to it, the previous WIP is next to it, followed by the changes, I blurred the background so that the changes would be more clear to see without any distractions

I'm pretty bad at perspective lol

heya, your perspective is indeed a bit off :/
maybe try making a horizon line and then draw lines going to a perspectivepoint, maybe you can see mistakes there, also try flipping the image horizontally (makes things more obv to see)
