[francydah2005]

today's work: did some of the photoshop assignements and tried to do a portrait from imagination differenciating it a bit from actual naturalism

[snakker]

Wow, that portrait from imagination looks great!

Cheers

today's work

[francydah2005]

today's work : did a 2 and a half hour portrait and an eye study, both from reference

[snakker]

Hey great job on these studies
I do note a few things, but I am not sure how the reference model is
One is the forehead: its quite flat and the hair line is very far back (maybe she has some form of alopecia). Lip projection looks more than expected for her face (could be fillers? Or maybe she just has very projected lips) and cheeks are a bit too hollow such as after bichectomy (surgery to remove bichat’s fat from the cheeks)

Keep it up!

Cheers

[francydah2005]

I think the left cheek is a bit strange because of the fingers pushing it, but I think I did made the right one a little too carved

[francydah2005]

today's work : 2 min gesture drawing, starting from top left all the way down to bottom right

[snakker]

I see now, it seems only a matter of smoothing a few edges

Cheers!

today's exercises

[francydah2005]

today's work: started the 3 point perspective assignement and tried to clean up a bit mi lines during 2 minute gesture drawing

[francydah2005]

today i did 10 more 2 min gestures and continued the 3 point perspective exercise, any feedbacks?

[francydah2005]

today's work:finally finished the castle and did some 2 min gesture

[francydah2005]

today i tried marc's 4 point body exercise and did 10 2 min gesture, any feedback?

[francydah2005]

i recently started doing five minutes gestures, does anyone have a clue about what i should focus on while doing them? anyway the other picture is a shirt i drew on a shirtless model, took about 2 and a half hours

[francydah2005]

Todays work: a clothes study from reference,of about 3 hours, and 5 5 minute gestures,where i'm tring to find what to focus on with such limited time

.

[francydah2005]

i had some more time so i did a 55 min shirt and jeans drawing on reference

[snakker]

Yoo, great job on that perspective piece!
Only thing I notice is that your vanishing points are a bit close together giving it a “wide angle lens” effect - so the objects get distorted within the frame. Ofcourse, that’s not necessarily good or bad

Cheers!

[francydah2005]

Thank you for the advice, I will remember it. Do you have any tip about the 5 minute gesture? I would really need one

[snakker]

🤔 not really sure about 5 min gesture. I usually time myself for shorter gestures to keep pressure and force quick decisions, if I have more time I usually feel I “finish the gesture” so to speak and move on to the next, that’s when I know I have too much time per gesture like when I was starting out - I would put long time and ease into gesture drawing and now I feel more comfortable and use shorter times

What aspects of the gesture do you feel unsure about?
