THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SHAPES

Simple geometric shapes contain innate psychological properties that we instinctively recognize.

CIRCLE

Community, love, unity, inclusiveness. Positive emotions.

SQUARE

Stability, balance, strength, efficiency, professionalism.

TRIANGLE

Mystery, power. Used for sci-fi, religious, or law themes.

VERTICAL LINE

Commitment, strength, progress, goals.

HORIZONTAL LINE

Movement through time, futuristic, tech-savviness.

🎉 ✍️ Digital Drawing JAM Session!

For the first time ever (But not the last) we have a Digital Drawing Jam Session. Magma (Not a sponsor) is an online app that allows multiple users to draw on the same artboard simultaneously. We have some fun, do some sketches, and sneak in a little learning.

Hopefully you'll join us for the next one.

Demo man in cartoon saloon’s style! I’m not extremely happy with it, but whatever.

Next on the list for me drawing Demoman in different styles is kid cosmic, then I’m gonna attempt (and probably fail) jjba, so if anyone has other suggestions I might do them as well!

mira doodles!! relistened to one of the jelloplays streams and i remembered how normal i was about her (shes so shapelanguage)

[nabs-draws]

Just a bunch of Sketchbook pages. I currently am experimenting a lot with style. Most of the things you see here used references from Pinterest. (other than that TB Choi page, I was studying her by looking at her work on Insta, trying to figure out how she is using shapelanguage to design her characters).

The first 3 pages are my recent ones while the other 3 are from the last two month.

Art Supplies used:

Some Pencil Colors that I found under my bed while I cleaned my room (it's a wild mix of 10 year old Aldi Pencil colors, Polychromos and these Art Grip colorpencils that Faber Castell manifactured back in the 10's

A moleskine Sketchbook

A noname Mechanical pencil that I found at the dollarstore, a blending stomp, an 8b pencil, a 9B graphite stick. a kneaded eraser, a normal eraser.. and an ungodly amount of coffee!

A wild musicmix of Jack Stauber, Coalter of the Deepers, Roar and some Eurovision tracks. And gaming soundtracks. Obviously.

121# ENG: request from a hippo on a scooter with braids and a skirt. Of course I couldn't help but to look at designs from Zootopia 😅 but also tried to work on shapes. I redraw this like 6-7 times! PL: prośba od Moniki brzmiała: hipopotam na hulajnodze z warkoczami i spódniczką. Oczywiście musiałem spojrzeć na koncepty z Zootopii 😅 ale też starałem się trafić z kształtami. Przerysowywałem to 6-7 razy! . . . #characterdesign #hippo #scooter #sketch #digitaldrawing #procreate #braids #shapelanguage #fun https://www.instagram.com/p/B_n1YgXD-gc/?igshid=1qn1to8f22v5z

I AM BAAAAAACK! The last week was amazing and wonderful and I drew little to nothing. But now I am filling my last sketchbook pages with some inkwash-blobs and make characters out of them. #inkwash #characterdesign #sketchbook #inkdrawing #inkblob #art #lineart #artistsoninstagram #shapelanguage #randomshapechallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/B3C--VNDOFZ/?igshid=1o4b5f292fv8i

After countless scribbles, I finally managed to whip up the roster of characters for my personal project . #visualdevelopment #characterdesign #illustration #personalproject #photoshop #shapelanguage https://www.instagram.com/p/BtrTChLBsF0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19a5yqiy18j8a

Kelly wears an Aussie t-shirt, a leotard and sandals. Her ideal shape should be round and squared. #koala #oc #drawing #shapelanguage #furryart https://www.instagram.com/p/CkTOITLv0m_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Join me in November for an #in-person #artclass covering #comics #illustration and #conceptualart above is an image of of a figure I drew as part of a free demo previewing what will be covered in class. In the #artdemo I use the #loomismethod of drawing to come up with a #fantasywarrior with no figurative reference. The purpose of the #artdemonstration is to showcase the power and utility of #drawingfundamentals of #shapelanguage #structure and #perspective I will be posting the full demo later today to my #youtube and also providing a link through the @accesscvu website. #fantasyart #fantasyartist #artinstructor #academicart #academicdrawing #andrewloomis #ateliermethod #fantasyartwork #fantasyartworld #fantasyarts #swordabdsorceryart #vermontartist #vermontart #vermontartists #burlingtonartist (at Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjnaLJXsrTk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
