Ann - Art school journey

[melancholiann]

Hi, hopefully I’m doing this right :Dd. I have a hard time of putting myself out there (out anywhere), but this forum feels like a good way to start.

Short bio: I’m Ann, just turned 21 this month. I study bookbinding and illustration in Czech Republic. But I rly want to get into digital art major in 2 years, and that’s why I bought this course.
Finished term 1 about a month ago, but due to my finals I started term 2 just now. Also working on my auto-portrait hopefully finished it this week.

Guess that’s everything for now. Hopefully everyone is enjoy their art journey to the fullest. 🤍

Time flies way too quickly T—T

update: started term 2
visual communication ✅
and currently finishing watching photoshop class 2: need to start on the assignment this week… but honestly I’m kinda unmotivated cuz I just want to paint —> beat me to submission please

personal update:
finished my self portrait ✅ about how my derelaziation and depersonalization feels
started to create piece for “meet the artist thingy” but it takes so much time and I procrastinate a lot by doing it hh

Nice job! Really great stuff so far!

[melancholiann]

Finished photoshop 2 ✅>>>> still didn’t do the assignments tho
Started to watch anatomy class>> did todays exercises …. I feel like I need to work on the perspective plus I wanna improve my line quality… but I got so bored with the heads (as u can probably tell haha)
As this feels way too beginner for me I will do 10-20 minutes on the perspective and gesture till sunday … just so I don’t feel bad for not doing enough

[melancholiann]

Exercise from yesterday Day2

I LOVE how you did the shadows and lighting

[melancholiann]

Thank you so much 🙌🏻

Day 3, 4, 5
I stoper with the perspective cuz it hit rly boring for me… did it on some spare paper once a day tho
Stuck with the "gestures" for 5 days but i was trying to draw the whole shape of a figury instead of lines.
The last one was super quick xD I didnt have much time to draw yesterday so I just did every figure in less than a minute

[melancholiann]

Off to something else

I like how you shade your gestures. That's an interesting idea.
