New fashion store haul guides

A kinda failed attempt (according to my vision, trying to recreate UNIQLO-like store) at making a mainstream fashion shop. Let's just treat this as thrift or regular fashion store instead.

New fashion store haul

"Hellllo, you coming? There's this new fashion store in town tht you might wanna check out ..." said her in a call to a friend. "New store? Sure, I'll be there soon, shall we meet there or at ..." her friend responded as the call drags on.

A peaceful afternoon rest up on the mountains; pondering his thoughts as the sun sets.

MPT grand opening announcement guide

Simple 1-point perspective sketch, aligning some slanted/sloped details is kinda bit tricky though.

MPT grand opening announcement

... did not respond to our interview request on the matter. With information gathered by our reporters, the company Mass Public Transit is proud to announce that the trial operation starts July to November this year, which people can ride free of charge between stations LG02 to LG07. The remainder stations LG01 and LG08 to LG14 will not be ...

Suburban apartment balcony view guides

Lots of work put into just sketch layers alone. Also took lot of effort to correct misplaced details. Initially, the background piece is based on urban skyline, but then changed to the current suburban view (with gas station at the behind).

tl;dr summary:

I finished my undergraduate studies, pog.

Trying to find a job, needin' that cash.

Updated illustration credit on all previous works.

Working on a new illustration canvas, focusing on the foreground and figures, including a set of 6 thumbnail illustrations.

///

So, I recently finished my undergraduate studies, poggers. Now to find a job or other opportunities, that will be hard, I suppose. Also, the fact that I will not have much time for hobbies is a bit sad, aaaa; but hey, I might get that cold hard cash, emphasis on "might".

There is an update to the blog as a whole, all of my illustration in #canvas and #thumbnail has removed the credit logo from the thumbnail content and instead moved to appear inside the border. In addition to this, I now added year and month of completion for future reference, as to mark the skill difference and growth across time.

Just so the thumbnail illustration content looks a tad bit cleaner without the tiny logo now; obviously, the watermark will still remain as is for public use cases.

Also, been trying to work on foreground practices, particularly focusing on heads from various angles, detail/shape decomposition, plus a set of 6 thumbnail illustrations to come. Soon, but not that soon. Although for various head angle practices, kinda got a bit rusty so need to trace (will be disclosed if published anywhere, posted separately from the upcoming canvas though) to rebuild my visual library, then later transition to sketching from memory back again.

Background familiarization practice (Practice 03-00)

As the name implies, this one focuses mostly on constructing background details, with a bit of learning on perspectives and depth-dependent detail levels.

Normally would do foreground with practice 02-00, but would skip it and do those later, as I thought I might be lacking experience in sketching backgrounds at that time.

Empty residential land lot

I notice there is some bit of perspective depth issue on the centermost (canvas-wise) building, but eh, would just leave it and know what to analyze later on. For reference, it's along the street very near BTS Udom Suk (E12) station in Bangkok, Thailand.
