Art School journey

Nice stuff, gesture and figure drawing is not super exciting at first, but you seem to be doing well at it, I think you could keep doing more figure drawing exercises to really hammer home that knowledge before moving on if that's your plan.

[tonyvustar1]

I have a bit of experience doing gesture drawing from Proko haha . Yeah some of the poses aren’t readable due to my lack of accuracy on a tablet so I definitely need practice there. I’ll post some more soon

[tonyvustar1]

Thanks for the feedback. I’m interested in character art so I’ll definitely do more figure practice

[tonyvustar1]

Here are my image adjustments and line practice. I tried my best to match the second image

Here's a Cafe I did in 2-point perspective from a photograph on Google

You picked a very nice interior for the assignment. Love all your details and planning.
You might want to check the lines colored in blue, those seem slightly off even to the naked eye. I learned that photos don't always have perfect perspective because of slight lens distortions.

[tonyvustar1]

Thanks for Feedback. I'll be more aware of photo distortions from now on

Hi, it's been a while. I have been spending time practicing my anatomy and perspective. 3-point perspective is pretty tricky to manipulate, so that assignment will take a while. Here is some of my practice

[tonyvustar1]

I have been juggling so many projects, that I haven't been making time to work on the Art School assignments. I will drop a few to focus more on Marc's exercises. Here are some exercises that I've done in the meantime. Not sure if I properly drew the volumes correctly in 4 point perspective

Here's my Perspective 2 Assignment

This took a lot longer than I thought it would, but I'm fairly happy with how it turned out . I used the Gate from Genshin Impact in Monstadt as a guide.

[tonyvustar1]

This is my first serious attempt at drawing a face in a more realistic style. I have a long way to go, and would love feedback on how to improve

I included the photo I used as reference. There are many things that don't match the photo, but I admit to being lazy when it came to analysing the reference.

I did a few more studies

[Ascent]

Hey I looked through all your stuff and great work so far! I'd just like to recommend you spend more time sketching out your portrait studies before worrying about any sort of value. If you look at your earlier practice of the head, ears, nose, lips and eyes you can see that you have a good basic understanding of their construction. I feel like your recent studies however don't reflect that. Slow down and map everything out just like you practiced. Do several pages without even worrying about any sort of value. Once you're more comfortable with it you can start to render them. Hope this helps. Keep it up!

[tonyvustar1]

Thanks for the advice! I didn't pick up on my weaker construction, so I'm glad I know where to pour my efforts into next. I will devote more of my efforts to construction

[tonyvustar1]

Some facial construction

[tonyvustar1]

I have been pretty busy lately, but here are some more studies I did over a week

[tonyvustar1]

I have been interested in anatomy lately, so I took notes during Marc's lessons. Here are some of the more clear diagrams that I drew

[tonyvustar1]

Here is a stylised portrait I did using Marc's Anatomy 1 lesson for guidance. The body really isn't very clear so I'll try to get better at constructing a good sketch before I drive into rendering (also the value feels quite off)

[tonyvustar1]

I did some more geometric shapes more than a week ago.

[tonyvustar1]

I tried following along with Marc's Zbrush demos. I didn't exactly copy everything for some variation
