And there are the last ones. They are really rough but the most of them should work
I also did the first step for the character design class. I never took such an approach when it comes to characters but it is really nice. The problem I have is that I can not really decide which of the silhouettes I should take to go further ^^
But maybe 3 are not enough. I will do some more and then take the next step for the character.
Your complex lighting looks good and so do the boxes, the only thing I noticed was that the shadow for the green box is a bit off. The light is coming from above the front left corner so there shouldn't be a shadow in the front.
With your character design, I think you're off to a good start, but I think a few more thumbnails wouldn't be a bad idea. You've got some good ideas down but all I'm getting from the thumbnails you have is a knight. Try to tie all the elements together and give them a bit of a backstory. Don't make a novel or anything but something along the lines of " After failing to save their lord this knight has wandered the land for ten years seeking revenge." So with this, you could say that the armor is a bit beat up and a few pieces are missing or mismatched. Give him a beard to show that he's been away from any kind of high society.
hope that's helpful, keep up the awesome work

Unfortunately I could not work on this for a while because I lost my Internet for a week.
So I have now The rough base finished. The next step is to polish it to a good level and after that go to colors.
I changed a few things about the idea and hero shape of the character but it works good I think ^^
The method to paint like in the class was a bit hard for me and took a lot of time. For future characters I will switch to a line work after I have the silhouette because this feels easier and faster.
I am finally finished.
Like I said I changed The Idea of the Character while working on it. It is more like an Ice Warrior who lives Isolated in a northern wilderness ^^
It was pretty nice to work on this Character, and I learned quite a lot. For example to paint in grayscale first and color with gradient maps.
All took much more time as I wanted to spend on this. But the result turned out well I think. The feet are a bit wrong in perspective I think and the left Arm is not in correct size.
Just started the Creature drawing class.
For the first assignment I just searched for some photos and sketched them in about 30min each.
I did not focus much on the values. They are just there for a better feeling, when looking on the sketches.
For the next assignment I will use some different animal types
I also did the 2nd assignment
These are really rough. I just did it and tried to understand the Anatomy and did not focus on an aesthetic look.
I have chosen next to the deer an orca and a raven to see similarities and differences.
Now the Next is an Animal construction.
So I finished the first animal construction. I choose also a horse like in the Video because I will need this maybe more in future and also it was easier to get in to.
I also noticed that many of the muscles for the construction are just very soft visible. So my brush edges in the drawing are maybe to hard at some spots
These all look fantastic! Your final in particular is really cool
So I did the Mech Design
The Idea Was an Observation Mech for other planets with some weapons to defend against Alien creatures.
It is a bit messed up but I just make it worse somehow while keep going. I think It is my lack of knowledge of how to handle the lights.
I also skipped the 3d Stuff for now because my Zbrush trail is over and I would have to learn a new program but I do not have much motivation to work on 3d for now. Maybe I will come back to this point later.

Here is the Day and night assignment of the color and light class
The Landscape was a bit sketchy. Also, it was a bit difficult to apply the theory to something that is not static like the example in the video. But I think my color and light skills will get better with practice on different peaces while keep the theory in mind
There is the composition assignment. This one is made verry verry quick and rough. I took the first thing that was in my mind by looking on the principles and put it out in a few seconds each.
To get the real experience in composition I should practice the principles on actual images while keeping the theory in mind
Here is the first step of the personal project class: the name of the world
The plan is to revisit an old Idea of a fantasy story I imagined some years ago and give it live.
next I will create a little map of my world and after that I will do some pages with some characters from the different nations
