Hello and welcome to another post of LLG where we like to celebrate the passing of each week with a wonderful segment that is filled with effort and critic called Welcome to Deviantart. If you do not know what this is it is a weekly segment on this blog where I get two the previous HP's of the week ( best and worst ) which are drawn completely by myself and compared them to a more established artist from the site DeviantArt as a means to compare the two and try to improve my own skills by seeing what a better artist does. With that being said lets jump right into things by starting off with the worst HP of the week.
This weeks worst HP has to be the Japanese shrine style ramen shop.
Taking a short look at what the Deviant user Joel-Lagerwall did I can see on a couple of hundred of things I did wrong. Before I start though I'd like to say that I did do the HP without references just with memory which is a big mistake. To begin with on my drawing I did not add any pillars and multiple " roof things " which would have worked better. I did my best but failed pretty badly on trying to add shading. Lastly While i wasn't going for the solid color walls like this drawing but rather the gridded one I could have made the white more dominant than the darker color. Moving onto the best HP of the week we are going to use the picture I made of myself walking.
For this
Drawing I tried to draw what you would usually see if you came across me in real life with a little cartoon spin of course. Now what I wanted to focus on for this pic ( other than trying to make a full character with distinct clothes ) is the body placement.
This drawing by a user by the name of humon kinda shows what I was going for and other than being able to make folds of the clothes and having cleaner lines I'd say this is a pretty good match. So with that today's Welcome to DeviantArt episode comes to a close but fret not as with next Saturday comes a brand spanking new episode for your entertainment. I do hope you enjoyed it and till next post I'll see yall later.
