Some random colour practice for this evening..
 Getting used to the Colour window with LAB sliders. Been using it for some months now to get more interesting colour combinations. Although it tends to slide the colours to some specific ones due to the algorithms it uses.

A sketch from real life as a base

Went to Heureka science centre to see the Body Worlds exhibition. Thankfully the staff gave me some paper pencil.

+ some random anatomy practices at the bottom picture.

I took myself on a task to see if I can replicate the look of environments that Manga artists do.
But I discovered something even more interesting..

I still have absolutely zero idea how the hell all those Japanese manga artists draw those mind-blowing environments.. dozens of them.. HUNDREDS.. But I discovered that NO MATTER what environment you draw in Japan, in manga style, it will ALWAYS look AMAZING! Japan is just that beautiful of a country.
This shot was a completely 100% totally random pick in Google Maps.
After this I found several more amazing scenes that would look phenomenal if rendered in Manga style. All in a radius of 300 meters of this area.

Inspired by Armored Core

The story is that Humanity has faced some unknown enemy. Black creatures that came from the darkness. Wiped out 90% of population - humans found shelter underground. They fixed the last armored mobile suits they found and trying to fight for the last hope.
