Caleb - Art School Journey

[caleb.bee1]

Howdy all!!
I am a Christian artist studying at home, and on my way to becoming an illustrator/concept artist (I still can't decide which yet, but I think illustrator XD)
I may not post here frequently, but we'll see I guess

Here is one of my last portraits before I started the course

Hey Caleb, welcome to the forum 😄
"a Christian artist" <- is this sth special? Like a certain style or so? ^.^
Just wondering xD

[caleb.bee1]

Thanks!
Haha, it just means that I'm a Christian, a follower of Jesus :] I'm not anything special lol

[prinzmoana]

Haha ok 😂😇
I thought maybe you draw in a painterly style, like in those old christian paintings :}

[caleb.bee1]

Ohh gotcha XD
I mean, that does make sense tho-

Some progress!

Here is drawing cylinders and the three spheres for body mass (head, ribcage, pelvis) on top of some references:

Then I did something similar, but added some gesture to each one. (These were done on the side, not traced):

My full body proportions:

And finally, my measured full body drawing (+ a tiny little bit of shading, bc I can't help it lol):

Uh this already looks great 🤩
Fo how long are you already drawing? ^.^

[caleb.bee1]

Thankss!
Pretty much 3 years ago is when I started taking it seriously, and have been practicing around 2-5 hours a day since then. Although I've been slacking off recently bc I started working

A session of guesture drawings (sorry they're so small) from yesterday:
(the smaller ones are 30 seconds, and the bigger ones are 2 minutes)

This was one of my first figure drawing sessions in about 11 months But It's good to get back into it
