Augustin - Art School Journey (feedback is very welcome!)

Hi,

I'm starting the art school course and hope to post here at least once every sunday. I'll of course be doing my assignments throughout the week, but I'm working full time.

I'm been drawing for a while but have alot of room for improvement.

If you're interested my artwork is displayed here:

I love drawing characters and working on a personal project (a comic). I don't have any long term artistic goals career wise.

Hello! I don't really give comment or feedback since I don't really consider myself as good enough to do so but I figured how those comments can often inspire people to do more so here am I! So far good work! If there's one piece of advice that I would like to give is to try to have a much cleaner/less lines when sketching ^-^ It'll force your mind to get it right the first line. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the feedback. I always appreciate it and will definitely apply your advice.

I tried to try and be as neat as possible.

This is part of the assignment to draw a room in perspective. I have uploaded the final result as well as the steps taken. However, I didn't want to draw a sci-fi/fantasy room because I think it would be better to study and analyse real rooms first. This was hard for me as I avoid perspective drawings so I'm not used to it. While I'll complete the last assignment very soon I think I'm going to practice by copying and studying references as well as drawing household objects in order to develop my visual library. It's not exciting but it's usually doing the technical unsexy stuff that allows you grow and communicate more interesting ideas.

While I'm aware of the flaws, constructive feedback is always welcome. Nonetheless I am proud of this piece.

I used to practice this a lot but after neglecting it for a while I found it challenging trying to do it from memory. Of course I practice many times before doing so, but damn, the hip area for men can be really hard to remember. If you're looking at this please feel free to provide some sort of constructive criticism.

Maybe this proportions are not super natural but I like them!! It can be a style thing hahah
One thing in the man is that the legs are almost as wide as the arms and the tip of the hands should amost land on the bottom of the 5th box, but that actually looks good apart from that like almost an NBA player hahah
And be careful on the hips, they are a bit small in the both figures. Maybe you can try to create them from an ellipse like in the lessons.
Hope that it was helpful And I'm sorry if I've been kinda hursh with you, feel free to be as evil as possible also with me hahah just kidding

forgive me another thing that I forgot to mention is that the upper part of the legs is almost as wide as the lower part, you could totally put some meat in it

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback I'll bear all of that in mind when I re-do it.

No that's absolutely fine the more criticism the better! I really appreciate this sort of feedback.

Sure thing!
