Chardon - Art School Journey

[Chardon]

Starting perspective this week. I love perspective !

I am starting to like gesture drawing, I like making them but the result, not so much. But that's a good start I guess ! 2min definitely are better for me for now until I feel like I can go faster. I usually do it in 1.30min for simple poses, and finish just on the 2min for the more complex ones.

[Chardon]

Off day today. I try to do some figure drawing and I wasn't feeling anything. So it's best not to push it, tomorrow is an other day
Strangely enough, the figure I usually struggle the most with was quite successful

[Chardon]

Quite an other off day, but I managed to do some gesture drawing and perspectives

[Nosnibor]

Today, I was in public transport and took the opportunity to do gesture drawings of people in the station.

I should really start doing this as well instead of staring off into space for however long. Great work : )

[Chardon]

Thank you ! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do
Note: if you are drawing people on the station while you are in the train, you don't have the time to look awkward. Also time limit is really imposed here !

[Chardon]

Ok so today I realized I was working on week 6 assignment instead of week 4...
I ll put that on the side for now I guess !

Some perspective drawing training

And some gesture drawing, 2min as usual. I trend to draw too big, my movements on my tablet are too wide and I go out of my screen/canvas. This is annoying and I don't know how to fix that. I ll look into a solution.

[Chardon]

Took the time to go back on the real daily exercises !
I started to simplify even more my figures without feeling rushed. Some are 1min figures now !
I ll see how it goes after that

I ll post some pen control too

[Chardon]

Some daily practices

[Chardon]

Daily figure drawing I try to do a sub 1min and started to do bean for the torso. I will see in time if I keep it that way

Also perspective assignment of week 4

[Chardon]

Some perspective and some figure drawing. Going below 60s is really hard, but I am getting faster a bit

[Chardon]

If yesterday was hard to go below 60s, today was full of sub 60 !
I trying to go as fast as I can and it's getting better in speed but also in quality.
If I can reach 30s and feel comfortable I ll do the reverse exercise and take the full timer to see how it can be

[Chardon]

Did not have much time today and I wasn't focus on speed, but I am still quite happy with it, it really gets easier

[Chardon]

Some gesture drawing, started one of the lineart study too

[Chardon]

Finished up my first line art study of the week (I am late !) (Salamence from Pokemon TCG)


Why so small gif D:

[Chardon]

Managed to finish a second study from the game cover of Wizard of Legend

I tried some new way to play around with grid in Krita, made some mistake I was able to fix too

[Chardon]

Manage to do some gesture drawing and going a bit faster day after day

[Chardon]

Managed to have a bit of time in transit to do some gesture drawing live. I have a very different approach in this setup. Understanding why could maybe help me
Note to self, 1. it is a good exercise 2. can be done almost anywhere ! 3. avoid doing it when it is cold outside

[Chardon]

Thanks to my outdoor drawing of yesterday, I was able to understand how to go below 30s gesture drawing in general \o/

[Chardon]

I ve decided to try new references for my gesture drawing. I have been using the same 50 references since I started. It is very good to see my progress but I grow used to them, I know them all and how to approach them in an instant. So new references it is. 1min drawing, I tried to go below 30s. Quite hard, but I ve managed to make it work for some of them !

[Chardon]

I am starting to focus more on the leaning of the torso, and the 2 lines defining the curve of the torso. I feel like it improve the pose even if I do them fast. I try to do below 30s still
