Francesco daminato- art school journey

[francydah2005]

hy, mi name is francesco and i'm following marc's program from italy, feel free to give your hardest feedbacks

[snakker]

welcome aboard!

[francydah2005]

thank you man, i appreciate it

[francydah2005]

i did some nude figure drawing practice,how is it ?

[matthewwemes]

Welcome, and these are a good start! looks like you have a good handle on the cylinder exercise.

[francydah2005]

thank you! i have a starting point thanks to marc's 30 days challenge

[francydah2005]

anyway this is today's work: i did some 1 and 5 minute gesture drawing, skeletons on top of photos and skeleetons with cilinder as limbs from reference, plus some male female proportion during school. it took me aproximately 4 hours, without counting the proportion exercise. i quite can't figure out how to be faster and adapt to digital drawing, any tips?

Good start and studies!

[matthewwemes]

These are really good! also the pen control assignment in Term 1 is really good to do as practice or warm up, this video also has some additional exercises if you get bored with those ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C87ZXHPQkh0 anyway doing all those exercises should get you used to digital drawing pretty quickly!

[snakker]

Great job, keep it up!

[queeniemp]

Welcome! These gestures and studies are a really good start

[francydah2005]

Thank you for the tip, I'll whatch that as soon as I have some time

[francydah2005]

Aw, thank you for the support

[francydah2005]

today's practice, i'm in need of feedback so if you want to, give as much as you want

[snakker]

There’s a couple of mannequins where the big masses are not accurately placed - if they are from the ones that you draw on top of the figure I recommend to be as accurate as possible, if they are from just drawing from reference then you can disregard as it is totally normal

Again, great work. I can tell you that these exercises are so useful, keep it up!

[francydah2005]

the first image is the same as the forth one, i drew them from reference and then shifted them on the reference to highlight mistakes so that it would be easier to analyse them

[snakker]

In that case very nicely done

[francydah2005]

Thank you!

[francydah2005]

today's work, another bit of gesture drawing and marc's skeleton practice

[snakker]

Nice work
I think with the singer you can exaggerate the curve of the lumbar spine or line of action to make the pose more dynamic
