florian.benedikt1996 2021-07-01 16:48:24 UTC #1

Hey People, i am a 3D Artist and Art Lover who got into Drawing first and then switched to 3D, so in my Worktime im mostly working on 3D Modeling and Drawing is my Hobby in my Freetime, but i want to be more serious about it and try to improve for myself, i really love drawing so improving what u love is always good i guess! I started first with Traditional Drawing and tried out Digital Painting a Year ago and really love it!

I hope to get some good Feedback here and connect with some of u ! : )
Also here are some of my favorite Pieces i did so far before the Course!
See ya around!

Would love to hear your opinions

florian.benedikt1996 2021-07-04 15:37:49 UTC #8

Hey Florian,

I think you did a good job but I think you could push a little bit more on capturing the movement feeling of the gesture, the way I see it seems like you outlined the body shape (which is completely normal when we begin to draw lines of action).

Try to have a nice flow and exaggerate the pose a lot because we usually tend to stiff the gesture when we draw.

Proko has a nice tutorial of how to draw gesture, maybe it will be worth to watch it:

Also, there's a few websites where you can can find a lot of poses and set the time to practice, I'll leave there here:
https://quickposes.com/en
https://line-of-action.com/
http://reference.sketchdaily.net/

That's the way to go, keep going!!! :))

Thanks alot, i will look these stuff up before i do my practices thanks for the links appreciate it!

I noticed after doing the Measuring Practice that after that comes the Gesture Drawings, haha i was confused bc the Assignment is in a wrong order i guess, but know i can focus on that know after watching what Marc says and what Luan send me, thanks again!

To the Measuring Practice:
Im pretty happy with my result with this one i checked on it after finishing it and noticed some stuff thats not right, but overall it was good i think definitely will try this again for sure, but after knowing that i suck at Gesture Drawings i will spend more time with that first!!
Heres my Measuring Practice:

florian.benedikt1996 2021-07-05 20:02:28 UTC #12

Done with my daily 30 and 60 seconds gesture drawing practice its my first time using it with http://reference.sketchdaily.net/en and i need to say 30 seconds are really not that long haha, but i kinda see know what proko and @ssantos.luan mean and why its so important to exaggerate! will keep that more in mind but here are my practices from today!!
1. -30sec 2. -60sec.

ssantos.luan 2021-07-06 15:50:20 UTC #13

That's it!! Seeing the improvement already keep going!!

florian.benedikt1996 2021-07-06 21:37:19 UTC #14

My daily 30 - and 60 second gesture drawings i feel like its getting better with the exaggeration of the Poses, will try to improve it further but definitely feeling more comfortable with it.
Tomorrow i will start with the Term 01 Perspective Video!

30 seconds
60 seconds

Hey guys was i bit away with some other stuff, i started with the Perspective Term and did an quick practice with the 1 Vanish and 2 Point Version, then i wanted to find the Vanishing Points in images and kinda not get it haha, the only one i hope im rightis the city one but all the other are not really working as i thought can someone help me out maybe ? After my 2 red lines or more i couldnt find some more edges that are connecting so i stopped
