Description 22 assignments for anyone who want's to do them. Originally done for my Mentee from .

I'm not entirely sure about the category, but if you feel like you'd know a better one, I'm listening.
Also, if you find typos, or have some other comments about this, be sure to comment!

I'd love to see your works if you follow this list, if you have the courage to add a link
to your works to the comments I'm happy. If you link this work under the description of
your work, I'm on fire.
.


EDIT:

Because couple of people have asked me about this: Blocking is a method where you use a big brush, don't
actually draw the details, but hint that they are there. It's usually used in speedpaintings. Here is an example of
30min speedpainting where I've used blocking Future Tower . There is also some textures used, so it's not pure blocking,
but you can google speedpainting and blocking to get more info about it.

And. There isn't printable version around. This is for
everyone to use, but please respect the copyright.
Thank you!

Well the idea is great. Though I need to apply it to creating a manga. Β Just have to get rid of the thing called Laziness out of my life. XD

Oh, you got me curious now. Why exactly manga style? Are you planning on your own story or something else? ^^

Ariel-Archangel In reply to Forem [2014-08-03 07:03:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I am. Β Actually have a few stories to tell. Β I've decided to focus on my art and writing so I can improve those in order to create my own manga.

Great ambition. If something feels really dificult in manga style, try to figure out how to make it in different style (for example realistic) first and then turn it to manga. Good luck for your story!

Hey; this looks fantastic for monitoring self-study, which is sometimes hard regarding which aspects to focus or to improve no matter how many material/books/tutorials you have got; i'll definitely give it a deeper thought.

Fav!

I would really love to try this out.. it's so interesting and just what I have been looking for..
Though there is only 21 assignments.. you skipped 18.. and it's feet instead of foots.. Otherwise it's really amazing.. I really really like how you have made the layout.. ^^ makes it easy to understand and find out what each assignment is about..
Thanks a lot for making this!

i'm glad you did this, because it is difficult to really learn when thees no real opportunity for actual art classes - this is a perfect substitute!

What is blocking landscape? Is that when you use big parts of scribbled color (or gray scale) to hint at a background?

If the timelines are too tight for you / too long, you can always take your own timelines. Anyways, how is the sketch coming along?

slowly but surly. My tablet is having issues since the kitten mangled it, but I have a temporary replacement if I can just find the pen to it.
