This is the second batch of Magma art jam drawings that I did. I might return to using hashtags, since there's an alt text image description thing that I just noticed. Or I could just say: Image contains drawings of: lizards, faces, portraits, studies, textures, shapes.

Title: jam 2

This is the second batch of Magma art jam drawings that I did.

I kept everything at its original resolution, which is why there's an odd variation in sizes.

I like how some of these turned out. I drew them because I want to get better at drawing faces, expressions, shapes, textures ... and lizards.

Some of the drawings are quite small, so details can be easily missed. It might be worth zooming in on them:
- The top-left rocks have textures and spikes.
- The small lizard at the top has textured edges and a unique head shape.
- The faces in the top-right are the best-looking faces I've done so far, so I think there's some improvement there.
- The lizard-like creature in the bottom-left was Frankensteined together: its arms are human-like, eyes are oversized, and its frills and body shape are somewhat unusual.

Some notes about my process:
When drawing heads, I start by blocking in the dark areas around the eyes with a thicker brush, then add the finer details with a thinner brush. When forming shapes, I keep the darkest areas in mind. I also sketch out the shadows first, then blend areas that look too much like lines.

I used photo references to varying degrees for all of these.

Sketches of lamp designs I came up with. Inspired by lamps I saw at a hardware store. I couldn't believe how many weird lamps existed, so I drew some. No actual references used. Tools: ballpoint pen. And a lamp. And a table... and... Why am I uploading this.
