#honestly its the graphic and artstyle that really drew me in

[gomzdrawfr]

I bought Dredge Art Book and decided to do a study based on their Fish Species Notebook :>

I absolutely adore this artstyle, Idk what it's called by the mix of 3D and 2D feel is honestly so good

here's some content from the Artbook itself too! I can't wait to study more of it when my finals are over

I think this requires a strong fundamental of lighting and shadows, and also face planes? Im not used to drawing without lineart so this is going to be interesting

here's a short gif i made for the process of coloring the crab

im not sure if this is how it works? xD But i basically drew a rough outline of the crab first, making sure the line is really thin, I also opted to use the straight line tool for that 3D look (and also I don't trust my hand to draw straight lines lol) Then I color in the legs, claws and the shell, I basically use a base color first, then alpha lock it to layer the different shade of colors in Lastly I add the shadows and disable the lineart layer and voila

I plan to do a few more fishes when Im free, so expect more of these haha
