Here's the rest of week 2!

2 Min gestures

It took me awhile to realize I was making the linework WAY too chonky. Not very satisfied with them but luckily I get another go at them next week.

Some head studies.
I took Esben Lash's "How to Draw the Head From Imagination" course right before this one so I got relatively comfortable with them. I noticed he and Marc have slightly different proportion mapping for the head though. I'm going to have to do a bunch of side-by-sides with the same poses to see how much it ends up effecting the final image.

That's it - thanks for stopping by!

Week 3...is finally done.

And that's it!
I am realizing as I post this that I totally forgot to draw the individual features of the face. I'll try to cram that into this coming week.
So I realized this week I may be a little too ambitious with these assignments. It's not a terrible thing - I enjoy spending time on them. The problem is when I can't finish them all in a week I start stressing out haha. I guess I'll just have to be more mindful of that moving forward. Last thing I want to do is start falling behind which will trigger a lack of motivation. Gotta keep moving forward.

Thanks for stopping by and reading my ramblings!

Thanks!

They are really fun to draw haha.

Hahaha thank you @mitsuki-youko !

Thanks man!
You have a good eye, I didn't notice the jaw at all.

Finally back. My schedule got utterly botched so it took me forever to finish these assignments, as there were a lot of struggles with them. It feels like I got nothing done haha. Welp, here they are.

Some 3D Shapes. A few with multiple light sources.

Head from imagination. This took s good amount of painting and repainting to make the volumes look correct(ish).

Imposing gate. I think I may have tried too much with this but now that its done I'm glad I did. The concave entrance gave me a lot of perspective problems along the way. Also, I struggles a lot with how the cast shadows would end up on the lower left hand side - so much so that I recreated it in Blender and used that as a reference haha. I had no idea how to do anything in that program prior to starting this, a big contribution to why this week took so long. It was fun to learn though!

Thanks @mitsuki-youko! I appreciate it.

I may have misinterpreted this assignment. Reading it now I think it was asking to draw the shapes without the grid. Oh well, I'm going to be drawing a metric buttload of shapes in the future so I'll practice it then.

Portraits

That's it for this week. Thanks for stopping by!
