This is exactly the one I just finished! Seems we're going at the same rate! Welcome aboard!

The castle pic seems it could have used a bit of adjustments on the color to match the background, though the proportions seem about right. I was going to mention it seems to need a bridge at the entrance, but then I noticed the original one ALSO doesn't have a bridge!
Your alien ended up very well done. kept messing up the finer lines, but especially the mouth and nose turned out really nice. You even adjusted the neck to make it better!

Thanks for the comments! I struggled with color matching but I actually just didn't understand how to do it. It's been very fun though so far.

Okay. On to the next assignments!

I have finally reached figure drawing and though it starts off simply, the difficulty gradually increases—as it should. Here are the first two parts just before Christmas.

Oh the cyclinders were tough and I still don’t like them as a whole but it’s done!!

Really nice work here and welcome to the program! I really like cylinder 13 and the foreshortenning on it!

After looking at them for a couple of days, the cylinders have grown on me so thanks!

Today, on New Years Eve, I’ve finally finished yet another part of the assignment, but it was definitely difficult and though I understand it’s not supposed to be perfect, it still leaves me feeling unsatisfied to a degree.

I wasn’t sure how to contend with the overlapping though and I probably picked poses that were a little too difficult, but I simply picked them from the poses I already had stored on my iPad.

Here they are:

These were rough and show that I still have a lot to learn as far as creating decent looking cylinders imo, but Happy New Year everyone!

NIce work man. I'm also struggling with wireframes from imagination, it's easier to deconstruct existing photos, but getting good angles from imagination is hard.

I couldn't help but notice a few things in these last ones, did a quick edit to try to explain what seemed off:

I feel like proprtion for head, torso and hips also need to be a bit more proportional, since our head is not the same size as the other two. Here's an example:

Still learning myself though, bests of luck!

Thank you for the response. I’ve been trying to keep your advice in mind as I continue to practice!

Best of luck to you as well!

Work has been tiring, leaving me worn and I am uploading something from a couple days ago—nothing super recent. Though I feel a bit bad about that, I’m going to continue moving forward, but try to give some more effort on those really tired days.

Here are some gestures!

I feel you, work can really do a number on you

Stay strong and rest when you have to, if you push yourself too much you might get frustrated

Cheers

I’ve finally been able to buy the entire course and I’m super excited so here I am posting again. So, as I do the work, I’ll be uploading here, but I’m not sure about the posting schedule yet.

Anyway, since I’ve done the first term last year, I’ve run through that stuff again using the guide and am somewhere between the second and third week, technically!

What’s bothering me the most is the gesture drawing. I feel like I’m not doing it “right” per se.
