GUWEIZ Patreon Series EP22 (Process Steps)

I'm parachuting in and by no means I'm skillful at art, but since art is something that we never know what will "click" on us and so it's better to see various approaches, I'll leave a comment. Something that helped me a lot was a hint that I saw in, I think, one of the Proko demo livestreams recently "Make sure that the bone structure feels correct. A small error in bones shape or proportion can make the body feel off. If the bones are correct, you can mess up muscles a lot more before the body starts looking goofy".

Hey Guweiz, so, I’ve been rewatching your videos while I try to study and learn, and I keep running into one problem specifically. Anatomy. I try doing studies of photos, using photos as reference for illustrations or paintings, and every time I find that my anatomy looks close, but it’s still off, and it throws off everything. I end up spending all of my time working on the pose, and after hours I cannot get it to look natural and correct. Its very frustrating. Is anatomy a subject you may cover in the future? I’m not sure why I’m having such a hard time with it.

I'm not too familiar with discord honestly, but if there is enough demand I will try to look into it when time allows :)

GUWEIZ

Have you considered maybe making a discord for the patrons? It would be really cool to have a place where all of us learning could share out progress and help each other grow as artists along the way

Thank you, it's really nice to hear you've found the stuff here helpful, happy holidays to you too!

GUWEIZ

I have to wish you Merry Christmas and happy holidays. As well as I hope to see your videos the next year. In the past few months that I have been your Patron, I have learned a lot. For an instance, you thought me that I should have an open mindset while I scratch and be more creative with my pieces and be more open to the changes in the pieces if I want them. After I started watching you I started to paint in greyscale as well, but not because I thought you are doing it and so should I, but because it helped me out quite a bit
