Many thanks, dont worry about it, sometimes appreciating your peers efforts is constructive in itself. You've definitely spurred me on and made me feel like I should continue to press on.
again, thank you very much I hope you are also seeing a lot of returns in your endeavours

You're gonna really hate me for this, get the Scott Robertson How To Draw book and also Perspective made easy. Then follow every exercise in the book until something clicks in your head and you can start to make sense of what the hell is going on. Be warned, its an extremely boring and dry book and sometimes very difficult to understand. Also youre going to want to do it in sketchbook for desktop because half of his method is using ellipses.
Good luck, if you get stuck get in touch and Ill try to help

well I tried shading without reference. and I suck at rendering without reference. moving on.

smart to move on, dont frustrate yourself, and guess is super bad for the learning process.

really lovely energy in your lines, very loose and comfortable. gestures look solid

unfinished planar head study.

ghostmonster 2020-08-11 22:20:44 UTC #61

i really like your lightweight and confidence. especially after youve warmed up. i can tell from your line work which drawing were maybe at the start of the say, versus ones after you got into the groove, keep it up

alrooke64 2020-08-11 23:09:28 UTC #62

Thanks, I think I tend to be quite heavy handed warming up. I think I need to work on being neat in general though tbh. Im just not at all a render junkie, after certain amount of time shading I completely lose interest, so I start off with not much control and then end with haphazard hatching as well :'D
