Alright time for the 2nd Weekly Update, I admittedly didn't get much done at all, mainly due to me struggling with my 3 Point perspective Assignment, I just couldn't come up with anything interesting.

Starting off with Gesture Drawings.
I quit this session really early cause I was too eager to get my 3 Point Perspective Assignment done. And I skipped the 1 Minute session, I just didn't feel a need for it yet

These were complete sessions in no specific order.

I also tried the Force method with gesture drawing, I need a lot of work to improve, but it was a fun change of pace.

I did just a few Constructions too cause 3 Point Perspective.. Maan that had me ripping my hair out.

And only 1 Figure drawing, I'm really disappointed in myself here, I'll try my best to do more this week now that I have more time.

3 Point Perspective Assignment
Over to the massive Time sucker, 3 Point Perspective Assignment.
I did 3 Different attempts, though 2 were mostly just me trying out a few ideas before going back and finishing my 1st attempt.

And here's my finished 3PP Assignment. It went through a few minor changes that I felt didn't really fit into the finished drawing.
I would've added shading but I haven't figured out how to work with layers well yet, so I'll try that another time.

Thank you for checking in, and I hope you're getting those Art gains too!.

Haha, no need to apologize!, I'm just happy that it was the small suspension bridge instead of the whole main castle arch cause that'd be a pain to fix.
Thank you so much for your feedback, you were 100% right, the closest part of that bridge was fairly smaller than the one further away, so I went back and fixed it, much appreciated!.

I'm just gonna go ahead and upload some last minute updates from today's drawing session, I might adopt a daily update schedule instead of weekly cause I tend to lose track of what I haven't posted and what I have.

All I did today was 1 almost full page of different perspective studies, and a few random Line weight practices.

I also went back to my 3 point perspective drawing and attempted to add some contrast between the castle/wall and the sky, just cause I felt like a purely white castle with a pure white sky didn't work so well. I also tried to add some very simple shadows around what I'd consider to be the most important parts of the wall.

I haven't started with light related studies yet so I'm bound to make mistakes here, Correct me if you please!.

And thanks to Snakker for letting me know my suspension bridge wasn't correct in terms of perspective!, I went back and changed simply using warp, quick and easy fix, though it still doesn't look fully right to me, Might go back tomorrow and fix it fully.

Indeed, Even though all I did was some basic shadows that probably aren't correct it still makes it look more 3 dimensional.

Thank you so much!, Though the dedication could've been stronger, haven't done anything this weekend cause friends, but that's alright, hopefully next week will be better.

Random Quick little update

It's currently Sunday 11:42pm where I live and I got bored so I tried getting back into drawing after a 3 day break.. Friends take up a lot of time but I love them

So I did a quick little 15 Min gesture session

And I also tried learning The Bean, it was a fun little 2 hour session trying to figure out how to draw the motion of the torso with the bean. Any tips on what to do better is appreciated!.

Never thought I'd hear anyone compliment my Beans Haha, Thank you as always Snakker!.

Random Update #2

Aalright, Here's another quick little update, I've started properly trying to draw Forms in Perspective, I should've started this a long time ago, but I just don't know when I'm "ready" for the next step..

I tried to incorporate all the different "elements" into my drawings, everything such as Deformation, Connections, Overlapping, and Interactive Shading though I might've gone a bit overboard with the shading, mostly cause I'm experimenting.
As always Critique is welcome!.

1st Attempt

2nd Attempt, I tried to use brighter values instead of really dark gray or almost pitch black, but it came out a little flat looking imo, I'll also do more soon but I need to fix my damb sleep schedule, It's 6am here..

Thank you for your kind words Snakker!. And yeah i see what you mean, And i think the issue was my linework being off with the whole cube thing, I wanted it to be a flat surface but my linework obviously says otherwise.
Thank you for the feedback anyways!, I'll try to keep my linework in line with what I'm imagining next time!.

Random Update #3

Currently working on fixing my sleeping schedule cause I flipped it completely earlier this week, so during the day I kept practicing Volumes in Perspective, and I've also started doing some DrawaBox practices secretly, currently on my 4th day of doing them instead of gesture drawing, just taking a temporary break cause my current style of gesture drawings just feel so boring to me, and unrewarding, which is why I'm still working on getting better with the FORCE Method and The Bean.

I also found an older shading practice, and man.. looking back on it, (even though it's probably just a few weeks old) it's pretty bad.. Some don't make any sense at all in terms of light direction or just the general Volume.

I also forgot to upload a Figure drawing I did yesterday.

And here's todays Volumes in Perspective, I didn't really do much, I'm on 4-5 hrs of sleep trying to fix my schedule so I didn't have a lot of energy.
I tried to keep my line art in line with what I had imagined, and when it comes to light I'm not sure if I did it right, so any critique is welcomed!

And thank you for checking in on this random update, much love!
