Here's my alien assignment! The liquify tool is actually really fun 
Here's the dream house assignment! I think I might redo it soon because it really failed lmao 
The main issue I see with the dream house assignment is the edges. It looks like the fence is supposed to be behind the flowers but the edge on the fence is too soft, it looks like the fence is fading into the flowers instead of behind them. The roof, on the other hand, should have a softer edge, not super soft, just a bit so it doesn't have as much of a cut-out look.
Everything else looks good! looking forward to seeing what you do with future assignments
Thanks Matt!
I tried making the edges of the flowers being harder, but then there was the whole cutout issue as well. I'll go through that part of the lesson again and give the assignment another go soon
Today's 30 second gesture drawings before I go back to working on my webcomic!
I typically draw my gestures in my sketchbook with a coloured pencil and I know Marc said in the Nude figure drawing class that I should use whatever I'm most comfortable with for the gestures, but everyone else here seems to be doing them digitally and it is a digital art course... it's not like I can't do digital art either, so I took the challenge!
One thing is that I need to remember to draw feet lmao
Day 2 of gestures!
Today feels a lot worse than yesterday. My 1 minute poses even look worse than my 30 second ones from yesterday, but oh well :'D We all have our bad da
ys.
Day 3 of digital gestures!
Although I've been doing gestures on and off for a couple years now, what Marc said about how the poses need to feel grounded has really helped a lot! I try to put feet in on every pose now, although sometimes in the images, the feet aren't visible. so then I don't. I've also been trying to focus a lot more on the pose itself before building up the form, which creates much less complete looking drawings, but I think there's a lot more to be learned this way.
Unfortunately I'm still busy with commitments to other art projects, so I can't get through assignments very quickly, but I figured that just doing 30 mins of gestures every day can't hurt!
Anyways, here are my gestures! I'm more happy with them than yesterday and I also made a photo set, so that I can track my progress on the specific photos, which is exciting!
Here's my gestures for day 4!
Today I took the advice of @Shellac-Belly to add markers where the elbows and knees are. I think this made my poses a bit stiffer and it definitely took a lot more time away from things such as form, but it definitely did help me to be much more aware of where the joints actually are. I also decided that it would be helpful if I drew basic ribcage and pelvis markers. This helped me to understand where the legs attached a lot more than without.
The suggestions I've been getting have been really changed my view on what it is to make a gesture drawing. It's difficult, but I'm sure I'll learn a lot from it!
Day 5 of gestures!
I didn't get round to doing any yesterday, oops! I'm not too worried about that though. I think it's more important to do it as frequently as possible rather than being incredibly strict with a streak and then feeling like you've ruined everything if you miss a day.
Currently, what I have learnt with doing gestures in a lot more of a structured way than usual, is that it has been helping me to spot the line of action a lot more quickly and to begin to spot subtle bends in joints and such. I wonder if this is because I'm using the same photos over and over again, or if I truly am learning. Maybe I should mix it up and try some different photos to see if I can apply my skills elsehwhere. Idk
I think today I was a bit too stiff with everything. Hopefully I'll loosen up a bit tomorrow!
Also, as a bonus, here is a WIP of some Lucifer fanart that I'm making. I usually prefer much thicker lines, so this feels quite odd tbh.
