Still working on portrait studies.

It's a little better traditionally.

Yo, looking good, keep it up.

May i offer you a challenge that can help you out? Try out some of those head studies with the fewest amount of strokes or marks possible. You can ghost them, imagine them etc, but then commit to make one si gle mark - no erasing. You can try at first with thicker brushes if you feel more comfortable

Cheers!

Thank you @snakker I thought about drawing them like that with the Santa Sketches. By single mark, do you mean one line drawing?
Thirty Second Gesture Drawings:

One Minute gesture drawings

I was watching Christmas Movies during Christmas like Klaus and Christmas Chronicles. So I decided to do some sketches of Santa Claus, Klaus and Jesper based on them. The beards look so simple to get right.

Nice, you’re definitely putting in the work! By single mark I mean taking your time and making very few marks, each mark you place - thats it, no more marks to represent the same thing, and no erasing. Its like dark souls of drawing practice 😅

thank you @snakker. I'll see what I can do.
This is my last picture sketch of the year. Here are some poses of a front and back female pose. Happy New Year.

Looking good!

Thank you @snakker
Happy new year every body. I have finally finished the portraits from last year. I'll move on to another study with portraits and something else.

I just have some random sketches from a few years ago and I decided to paint over this and see what I could do. I did a quick environment paint on the top right.

gregorya 2023-01-09 17:32:00 UTC #129

I started with 2 minuite gesture drawings. It's pretty difficult so far. But I'm getting there.

I also did a figure studies of one of the pictures. It's the nurse from Silent hill.

So far, I've been doing 2 minute gesture drawings for a few days now. It looks okay so far. Are there any other critiques I should look into?

k_idraw_ 2023-01-12 20:50:47 UTC #131

Well done on the gesture drawings.
I have a suggestion for your eye drawings. This helped me draw them a bit better. Try to shade the eyes like a sphere when you are drawing them. it will help you give it form and look a bit better.

snakker 2023-01-13 15:58:26 UTC #132

Good work. If there is one thing I could critique its the readability due to overlying lines

There are many things you could do to remedy or go around the issue. The problem with the readability stems from the fact that you are using many lines in the same direction and this makes for a soft/fuzzy line. You try instead maybe using a thicker brush size or fisrt using very light lines before committing to a stroke

Cheers

Thank you @k_idraw_ That sounds pretty useful.
Thank you @snakker I usually use the 2nd smallest brush I have. But I guess I can use a different brush.
Here are some more drawing 2 minutes sessions each.

gregorya 2023-01-23 23:13:35 UTC #134

Here is some gesture draeings and also some environments from imagination.

gregorya 2023-01-26 16:48:08 UTC #135

Here are some 30 second gesture drawings.

I re did the one point perspectiv assignment of a Sci-Fi room with some light as well.

gregorya 2023-01-30 17:44:47 UTC #136

So far this month, O just drew 2 minute gesture drawings and some perspective drawings. Here is some more.

snakker 2023-01-30 18:46:11 UTC #137

The poses are very readable

Keep it up, try to limit the types of strokes you use in gesture as an experiment, force yourself to only use C S I (c and s curves and straight lines) find rhythm where they want to crash into eachother and show it in gesture

I notice in your gestures some lines go outside, make the gesture “hairy” and others are closed like ellipses that construct the figure more or less 2 dimensional. I feel they detract from the pose and it is better to keep it as simple as possible

Cheers!

gregorya 2023-02-02 23:31:43 UTC #138

Here are some gesture drawings 1 minuite and some 30 seconds

There are also some random poses I made.

gregorya 2023-02-06 17:06:18 UTC #139

Here are some quick 30 second gesture drawings

I'm also doing a study of a post apocolypse train station in a one point perspective. It's still a work in progress.

I also have a sketch of Brother Voodoo I wanted to work on. I wanted to get the facial features right first. Then focus on the body pose.

2 Minute Gesture Drawings

I've also made a one point perspective train station

I also made a sketch ofthe Marvel hero, Brother Voodoo. Critiques are welcome. I would like to continue this one.
