(3) the whole sketch. I did not stayed within the limit of the sketch as a realized the shoulders were too narrow. The length and position of the arms were a lot harder and I winged it a bit too much.

Update for #masterpasta
I still do lineart, so for some time not much to share but same update now and then.
Today I did the one hand in my style (for funsies) because I can't just pass up the opportunity of a hand with a glove. (I really enjoy drawing in the seems QAQ)

Working on the last hand! #masterpasta

I am still going #masterpasta

But like I said before shading is my absolute nightmare and my brain makes knots in itself XD So this is how far I've come. (I know it's like nothing)

+++ Linguine is Bolo masterpasta
+++ Chunky so no boring Ragu
+++ great colour, looks like good amounts of olive oil as well!

4.9/5, 5/5 only achievable with self-grated parmigiano

Not sure if I should though.
Then I filled the hands with the BG color so that I can see the state of my study without the overlapping lines confusing me brain. And that's how it currently looks.

Update from #masterpasta Lineart
I first do it in solid brown and then later I try to color it.
Even though I use the same brush it's hard to copy the existing lineart XD But so far I am at least doing a somewhat ok job :3

For copying the lineart I turned the reference picture black and white.

Day 3 of #masterpasta
Is a short. I drew two hands from the same ref. It is a ref I found in the interenet but I cant find the actual credit so I wont make it worse by posting it yet again xD
So again i paid the most attention to the palm. Especially how it is curving. And where the knuckles sit.

I liked it good enough i took an eraser and lightned the sketch so it would not be too prominent while drawing the next layer.
(2) Drawing the face with a normal pencil and then adding the hand in front of the head and more detail with the red pencil.

I made that fricking handpose work! I can't beliefe it QAQ
#masterpasta
what is sad about this is that with construction it didn't work out at all. So I winged the general shape from the ref. And focused more on the gesture. Then corrected the thickness. of the fingers to add the space between them.

Today in #masterpasta
I finished the first lining! I may will change the thickness of the hair again. I colored them in reddish tones for now since the whole lineart has this underlying warm glow, which makes me guess that red/orange are the most common undertones here.
at the end I was getting

So today I start my first masterstudy. The picture in question is this fanart of "vash the stampede" from trigun bsky.app/profile/past...
By wonderful artist @pastachyan-art.bsky.social
Please check them out!

I use the tag #masterpasta for this study. And created a feed for it too.
hi, I'm Pasta and I like to draw fictional characters 💖

Todays session of #masterpasta
was really interesting. I have three stages of the one hand. And at each stage the sketch I had felt "right". But whenever I got to another stage and looked at the stage before it looked wobbly and off. Which gives me a mixed feeling.
The first one of joy
May 10, 2025 at 9:44 AM
I tried it another time to get the forms better. Getting closer to pasta's style. But I think it is even further away the anatomy is wonky as well. And it shows that I tired out xD
But i like his right hand xD so the studies did help!
April 28, 2025 at 1:57 PM
(4) So my last step was to analyze what was different from pasta's artwork. Here my notes.
The perspektive was a bit off. And I need to squeeze the whole picture a bit.
April 28, 2025 at 12:56 PM
Sitting down to draw. Yet another attempt at the pose. this time on computer. XD What do I do. Making more and more kind of refs XD
Procrastinating from the thing that could go wrong

#masterpasta
I just hope having the negativ spaces visible does help at some point XD

#masterpasta
Last few days had been bad brain day. Today is only slightly better so have a few more hands. Most of them without refs. As just a bit doodling.
Isn't it obvioud how much better stuff looks when using reference? XD

Miniupdate for #masterpasta
this took all my energy today.
Coloring is much much harder for me than the other parts. Shading is something I really struggle. And coyping here seems almost impossible. I swear I made the color swatches really on point. But it still looks off XD And I hate it XD
June 18, 2025 at 10:33 AM
So today I started with colors!
I did NOT colorpick the OG since otherwhise I would have lost a great opportunity.
Instead I guessed the color. Drew over the OG at the corresponding place and adjusted the colors until it matched.
It was not always easy to see if it was off because of hue,value

Now I corrected the fingers, without the trace or my other sketches visible. I usually copy the layer and lower the opacity from the copy. Then I erase in the of layer (and see where I had draw before). The red marker have their own layer.
And then I redraw the fingers.
May 7, 2025 at 1:45 PM
(4) now trying to make a construction of the form in normal size. Trying to figure out the general gesture and proportions. Scanning what parts give me some difficilties.
April 16, 2025 at 1:53 PM
or chroma but I did make it in the end! And that makes me pretty proud!
Then adding the flat colors made me really doubt if I made a mistake because it looks so different XD But nope. All is good. This is "trust the process"
May 25, 2025 at 12:33 PM
it is so fascinating. All the time when I did masterpasta. Even when I did the truly difficult parts. It was always somehow giving me energy. (like I get tired but it didn't trigger anxiety). And now that I do what I know how to do and usually is my favorite part. It drains me. Not only energy but

#Masterpasta makes me use a brush that differs not only with pressure but with the tilt of the brush (which is pretty nice because it behaves like a real pencil) for the very first time.
I am not used to use a pencil in that way either so I am fumbling a lot XD
the timelaps will be crazy. too bad
