Studies (or copies) of mechs!

You can find the original pictures on my pinterest in my mech section located in designs for drawings! But you won't do that, because that's too many steps =>
I finally completed these things for my assignment, it takes me so long-
I realize I never post my practices, and it makes me look like I am being real slack in my drawing, but really I am drawing all the damn time
Hope these things make your day somehow! I don't know how, but.. yeah.. Okay ciao ciao

The process!

I didn't have the sketch saved, but this shows how I did the bridge with Blender!
I imported the image into Blender, built the bridge, and positioned it with the image, then screenshot, then used the bridge as a base.
Worked very well I think!

  • > 𝚅𝚒𝙶𝚖𝚒𝙳𝚛𝚊𝚆𝚜(𝙻𝚢𝚗𝚒𝚡) Thank you heaps! Makes me happy to hear it <3

  • The work in process it's so cool :00

  • > Pong🌸 ik! It's super helpful, but you gotta get the perspective right =,)

  • Wow, I never thought of using blender this way! 😲

Here's how I do studies (or copies)

It's just copying a reference, trying to get it as accurate as possible. It helps you look at how the pros draw and add details. So I first draw a block-out, or a silhouette, then I sketch and constantly look back at my reference. Then ink!

Don't know if you realized but..
I GOT CLIP STUDIO PAINT!
WOOO
Finally something OTHER than medibang pft-

• LIFE •

It's so tiring trying to figure out what to do for uni.. or how to get SOME certification to get a jOB-
Even my mum has been getting tired just from researching what I should do to be hireable- I have to remind her that OLY IS NEXT SO SAVE YOUR ENERGY MUM
Love her to death
anyhow
It's sort of exciting, learning the technical skills of art, and learning what it means to be a concept artist, illustrator, ect. I may get photoshop soon, which is about $380, if that's not AMERICAN PFT- Otherwise it's 1.5x the money. But I should be able to pay for it, as I don't spend too much anyhow. It's also sort of industry standard.. so.. MAYBE that will help for hireability-
After I finish my batch of requests.. which.. is just Oddish and Oly but Oly less important on my list ahah-
Oddish's banner is currently my PINNOCLE of learning right now, and what an angel Oddish is for waiting so patiently, probably has forgot but that's a good thing on my part, because I have so much to do qwq
But yeah..
kinda crazy how school will end soon, or homeschool. Only 1-2 more years..
Haven't had much of a teen-life, actually, my teenhood feels like it just started a year ago- barely.
And I mean as in a social life.
I think everyone now has many concerns with their social life. Literally the most common problems and insecurities comes from the social aspect of everything, whether school, internet, sports, it's all a VERY common thing. Little people have a huge friend group it feels like.

How's your life?

  • > Muna SketchEEEE Same to you too bro

  • > Bluecatanimation I think we have something similar with Open Universities (take 2 subjects in a degree, and it gets you into the course if you pass the 2 subjects). At least your mum is considering whether or not you'll want to experience the fun in school. But in my opinion, there's no rush! Unless you are in a bad spot- Then maybe you'll want a good income, but I wish the best of luck to you!

  • > Muna SketchEEEE I’m in America 🦅🦅🦅🦅 but yea I’m getting pressured from my dad, he wanted me to do running start (running start is where you already take the two general education classes, if you don’t know, idk if America only does it) but at the same time my mom is against it because I won’t have fun high school years so I’m torn between fun or education. I get where your coming from I have been trying things

  • > Muna SketchEEEE yeahh you right C:

I got an ARTSTATIONNNNNN~

https://www.artstation.com/muna101
LOOKIEEE
ITS BOOTIFULLL-
I am so SO happy and excited and all around ecstatic-
Cara and Artstation are kinda my more ~professional~ sites, but Artstreet is my more friend-focused account. So don't worry about me ever letting you down, ever gonna give you up, ever gonna run around and desert you, okay?

  • > Muna SketchEEEE That is true 😭😭

  • Never thought of getting rickrolled on a topic

Composition tip!

I know there are things like the rule of thirds, the golden rule, the triangles, symmetry, but it's all based on one thing, Emphasis and Weight.
You don't even have to do a drawing based on a grid, because when you understand how to emphasis something, you can do a lot of good compositions without using a grid for it!

Obviously I can't give you a degree with my explanation but here's what I can fit in.

Emphasis (example, a bright orange dot in a grey and black background)

Balance (person fighting one corner of the piece, another person in the top corner jumping up and coming down on the opponent)

Proportions (comparing objects or people with other objects to determine the size of one another)

Repetition (a box with the same design elements each face, repeating design shapes on a character, etc)

Movement/Rhythm (lines moving towards your emphasis, example, an anime character going NANI?? with lines towards their face all around. Can be swirls and triangles and spirals, can be clouds and wind and leaves!)

Variety (interesting design elements that are different, but working together. Good for design)

Harmony (EVERYTHING added into one, but goes together!)

Everything above can be described with value, colour, size. I might do more parts, depending on how this topic goes with everyone's interest on this. Ciao!

Which one is better?

I made 2 versions of this character here.. Do you like the more child-like one, or the one that seems more cool, more yuh, more mindful, more demure-
I'm sorry ahem
PLEASE tell me what you think fits best! or which is more interesting =>

  • > Muna SketchEEEE Thx u !! I'll try how u do the start with patch of colors with SAO video :3 !

  • > Reiilley https://www.youtube.com/@munasketches/videos Here's my youtube for some processes!

  • > Reiilley I did actually do lines first! But the one that looks sketchier was.. well, a sketch, and then I blocked in colours! The silhouette version there was just black and white, and it was to design her => I then coloured the silhouette, and started sketching her!

  • Oooh I see that how you do it, you directly applying the colors and etc, it true it seem more easier than puting the lines first and all I'll try that

Before and after!

Before render and after the render. The rendering part is my favourite! I spent a LONG long time on it though.. But I have ten hours of the process down to 25 mins in this speedpaint!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In-vb7q2zGQ&t=1189s
I added video chapters, so you can scroll and skip and whatever. I even documented my hand struggles XD-
I also added better music, ones with actual words, so it's less boring. One of them had copyright but it was allowed, although I almost had a heart attack-

  • > numi_drawings✨ AA Thank you numi! <33

  • Um this is SO GOOD WHATTTT!!

Feel like I should do more..

This creature was fun to draw, but maybe I should render it out way more than this, and put her in a background? I always hesitate with this stuff because it's a "big project" and it's not what I usually do, but the biggest step is already done, so I guess I could..

Read more

  • Hmmm add a underwater background Like floating up to the surface? Like a bit of coral And seaweed on her leg then like some bubbles and some fish and sea-life I dunno just tryin to help :)

  • Render out those weird blurry parts, probably from the technique I used-

Grim Waters

Hey everyone! I'm just gonna post this here as a topic, because I think Medi will give me an absolute wack on my account for the AUDACITY to post this piece, so hopefully it's okay to share here instead-

I have migrated to Cara!

https://cara.app/munasketches
I feel like a grandma on there, trying to figure out how to find the home page, but all will be fine-
I'll probably be on there most of the time, because well... Artstreet is unholy, as we all know. and Cara has SO much more art that I can look at, and be inspired by. Not many people on Artstreet has my artstyle, but obviously, Cara includes my style more. So I hope to be way more inspired on there!
I will still be on Artstreet, but I am super excited about my profile on Cara, so I'll want to spend time there too =>

  • > Muna Sketchy.. Ok 👌🏼

  • > Muna Sketchy.. okayy :D

  • > 𝑬𝑽@ Cara is this new art-based social media that kinda acts like multiple platforms mixed together, but art! It's in beta right now, but it has this AI protection thing, which is cool, but even COOLER (for me) is the job part. There's job postings you can apply to! I really love it so far!

  • > Galactic Reaper found ya

Which one looks better?

I'm trying to go for an emu-type look, but I'm not sure if I prefer the magical looking one, or the other one that looks more natural. I feel like this bird thing could be aggressive, so I made the colours redder to indicate that. But I also like the purple one, and maybe it's because that is what I've began with =,>
Opinions! OPINIONS!

  • > ✨️BrownieSketch✨️ Aaa that's a good point! The blue one wouldnt look so supernatural if it was in the snow biome, which is good xD-

  • > MrFlagada🏗️ haha! Yea I think the warmer one better represents an emu-type-creature!

  • > LittleSpacy That's true.. I did want the red to pop out more XD

  • I like both! Each of them looks like they live in different habitats too The warmer one would live in the savannas and the other would live in snowy areas

Can't wait to go to the beaAACH-

Thing is, I gotta go BEFORE summer because otherwise it will be a skin-cancer zone for me, and spring is already so hot- like 34 degrees was the max so far It feels like (93 F), so thats perfect for a splishy splashy.
Maybe I could even do swimming laps again for exercise at the pool.. I'd rather run but I've done my knee right now, I have to run super early in the morning to escape the heat, and right now there's a creepy dude out on my street who's assaulting women, so my parents, well, besides dad, are super not into that idea-

Welp, life.

  • > Muna Sketchy.. the sun sounds nice in the winter lol, in the winter its pretty much js clouds for me lol. and how you described the mornings in the winter thats exactly how it is every day here in europe lmao😭

  • > Katyarobot8 The sun is the ultimate warmth in winter, as in every country- But I think Australia's sunlight is stronger, so it's super nice when you're in it, and then super bad in summer XD-

  • > Katyarobot8 I mean, if you're wondering about what's it like early in the morning (6-7 AM), it can be foggy, frosty, and your nose runs, and it just feels like the cold is biting you. That's the freezing for me XD-

  • > Muna Sketchy.. damn lol. i wonder what australia is like when it's freezing, ive never thought abt it, i might look it up lol

Something isn't looking too right-

This is for Oddish, and holy cow I AM STUCK! I have no idea what elements I can add in to make it cottagey, homey, and foresty, I just am trapped in this circle of trying and retrying-
I think I need to do this in black and white first, to get the values.
But can you guys suggest things that can make it more like cottagecore? I want a lot of little objects and tiny animals around the scene to make it feel alive but I have no idea what I can add..
Help meeeeEEEEEEEAAHHHHGHGHGHGHH-

Read more

  • Honestly I say mushrooms, that’s the only thing I know, maybe add a cozy glow

  • Maybe add a higher quality of foliage and add a warm tone of overlay to the piece. Maybe add some other creatures like birds, deer, bugs etc.

  • i actually like the contrast between a welcoming home garden and the unknown dark forest next to it, but when you get the chance you can try transitioning the forest from lighter to the darker, heavier forest

  • maybe add some sort of pond with a lil statue in the middle, a flower/veggie garden, maybe have a big tree hang over the area and have some lil things hanging off the branches, add quite a few bushes kind of cradling the area, ect-- and the forest looks a little gloomy and unwelcoming (unless you're aiming for that feeling ofc), i'd maybe make the trees shorter and a bit more airy to let sunshine through and stuff but yeah i think to make it feel more comfy and homey is to enclose the area a bit with trees, vines, statues, ect =] and detail/style the house more (but i assume you would do that anyways)

Modern day struggles..

Trying to find reference photos for copying studies in rodents, fish, ect.
AND I SEE ONE, A GOOD POSE, ALL THAT..
And it's AI generated..
And a close-up can already TELL YOU THAT..
UGH
Stop clogging up the SEARCH RESULTSSS-

Read more

  • > Pong🌸 And like, why of these RANDOM animals?? It never gets an accurate depiction of them. and the tail would be wrong or the fur is a completely weird texture- Looks okay from afar but close up, it just looks wrong- At least the site SAYS it's AI, but why in the top search results??

  • AHH SO SORRY

  • I can relate… I’m so, so sick of AI aaaaaarg (ToT)

  • > Muna Sketched Dang, I use Pinterest and I look at character ideas and I see one good character but it’s ai and then I get distracted and go on more things on Pinterest and forgot why I was there. But I get it 🤗

Fish studies

My dad asked me what that shark was
I said it was a basking shark..
He thought I said bastard shark and now refuses to call it anything other than that-

  • > Muna Sketched Oh, but still it’s good :D

  • > Bluecatanimation Thanks! I didn't actually draw any scales, but I made it took like it with fluffy watercolour brushes, and adding little dashes of light. I then basically took any brush I haven't used in a very long time and use it for texture XDD-

  • It’s so cool how you were able to draw the scales so shiny and realistic

Reptile studies!

Copied from photos btw, it was kinda hard to try and do their scaley texture quickly =,)

  • Oh wow! I’m going to be honest Muna I love when you draw these animal studies:> there cool to look at! I feel like I can imagine the texture and just how they would look in real life! The texture with their movements aid really well done! These are really good! >:D

  • WHAT DA BACC FOOT DOIN

Animal Skeleton for ya!

This is how I design my animals with their anatomy. CA wanted this so here you go!
I didn't show the muscles cause honestly.. I forget them- But the bones are the most important part!
Did you know that giraffe's spines are actually pretty straight? It's only the little bone sticks poking up that makes them look uphill!
