I refined a bit the room in the Clock Tower ... Well, it's not a Clock tower anymore .
I followed a more steampunk idea
btw how do I measure the objects size? For the biggest ones I'm doing a box around it (like the table or my (almost similar) r2d2 but the random props (like the hatchet on the pipe) I have no idea of the right proportions, is there a good way to measure or is just experience?
my figure drawing of today:
No gesture drawing as I lost sight of time while drawing the room
Finally finished my room 
And this mark the end of my Term 1 !
Nice room love the design of the roof
9 days later
@Kosmonaut thanks!
I'm getting further and further away from may daily posts goal as my graphic board decided by itself that it needed vacations so I had to pause this last week... I hope this time I'm able to proceed more smoothly
Here's my start on term 2 :
my logo (that I made thinking of using as a Instagran Profile Picture )
my complex shape done with the pen tool -
and my 'monsters '
Thanks! I was initially trying to draw a lot of connected gears but the perspective got all messed up . I'm glad I changed though
Try to focus on using less lines in your drawings, and using the 'ghosting' method for drawing
I'm trying to.. but I usually just am too lazy to draw a lineart on top of the sketch
Just did a quick search about the 'ghosting' method .. it's something like what we do in the beginning of the first term?
I noticed that I was having a hard time to enter into 'drawing mode' and I figured it was probably because since I fixed my computer I stopped with 'gesture drawing'... so i'll start with GD on a daily basis again.
1 min GD 
My 'Box Cover'
good gesture but I would recommend trying to use fewer lines and having more line confidence when you do your gesture drawing so like for example if you are drawing the curve of a leg you would draw a single line instead of doing scratchy/hairy lines to get the complete curve but everything else looks good. I also wanted to comment on your box cover because it seems to not be in the right perspective based on how flat the front plane looks it should be more angled in a 2 point perspective set up.
I probably won't be able to improve my lines in GD for now, as I tend to do these hairy lines when trying to correctly adjust the size of the limbs as to not get out of proportion .
I didn't even think about using perspective ( yeah kinda dumb since I just finalized perspective class )
For today's studies :
GD 
line control :
shadows : 
Great shadows and line control on those last two! If you're struggling to get into drawing, something Bobby Chiu does + recommends is to just sit and sketch whatever is in your head, for 10mins at least to get the hand warmed up.
For ghosting this video was how I learnt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1HAVipdsZM&ab_channel=Uncomfortable
well a way to improve them is just getting used to doing on stroke and seeing where you make mistake by comparing it to your ref that way you can still improve line confidence while making it a habit to check the limb length correctly
@Lukiesartventure hmm, i'll try to pay more attention and apply these ghost drawing methods whenever I can
@Kosmonaut I'll start with 2 min gesture drawing, then I can focus more on trying to improve line confidence
today's studies:
Color Blending:
And my brush:
I'm with high hopes for the Anatomy class
line confidence with me came from just drawing over and over so it could also be improved over time with 30-second gesture as well. do whatever works for you best or experiment and find out what works best didn't mean to influence you to go for a longer time if you were fine with what you were doing before. basically, line confidence is what comes out of trusting your brain, eyes, and hand to correctly make the line the fits what you are drawing at least to me. That comes with time as you draw more and more so if you thin 2 min. will help go for it.
