2/2 2 minute gesture drawing for this term:

I'm pretty happy with those as I managed to make them quite detailed and I tried to start remembering some shapes for anatomy. Although sometimes I had to go a bit over 2 minutes, because some of those poses were just too difficult and I didn't want to end with only half done :P.

@kalienator thank you so much <3. I'm not often check this forum here, but seeing that my work inspire others is the best I could get and I'm so happy

@daceronine thanks so much! it was a lot of work, fortunately having only 2 minutes per pose didn't feel that long and I could fill almost full canvas during one session ^^.

3rd and last environmental study for this term:

I'm not gonna lie, getting the perspective in a proper way for this was a really tough job and I ended up eyeballing some of those lines :P. I still don't know what else is used for those heavy perspective drawings that they look very natural and at the same time lines seem to not converge to the same horizon. It's very confusing and I don't know where I could find an answer for it.
Maybe studying more perspective would help so I have to get some books about it.

But also, as I'm slowly progressing through this 3rd term, I managed to make 5 heads from imagination. Although keeping them facing the camera was the hardest thing to do XD.

I kept them sketchy for a reason, cause I rushed it a little bit and ended up working on one layer only. I'm drawing way less recently due to some health issues and I must admit, I somehow forgot how to make a proper face

@daceronine thank you. It's being ups and downs for the past months, but I'm under some physical therapy and I hope it'll work to make me better
yeah, I think observation is the key and after about a hundred studies or so there's a chance to either make those studies faster or try to mimic the methods that's been used and somehow make it work XD.
In any way - it's a lot of work XD.

6-8 clothing studies (out of 12).
First two are so far may favorite and turned out great. The last one is a bit half-assed, but I think I choose the wrong photo with a material that's too much textured and it messed up with my perception of folds.

Also, another three of putting cloth onto undressed figure. I've decided to not make it too rendered as I think of this exercise as of something that helps me understand how the folds can react on body and sometimes I'm spending too much time with this, I don't have much energy to render it :P.

Also - I've noticed that with this assignment using and AI generated clothes is not that bad as I only need to see the main shape and folds and I can adjust the rest quite easily :). I still don't like using it, but picking a first seen reference saves a lot of time :).

All those are works from the past month, my back still won't let me to sit too long with drawing, so I'm trying to take it easy, but also trying to learn how to draw faster. So the rendered studies takes between 1,5 to 2 hours of work, while the other cloths I'm getting done in around 40 minutes to an hour.
So I think I've sped up the process a little bit

Looking forward to work more on the assignments, so I could finally go to the next topic and next term soon.

@snakker, yes you're right, I think those folds should look less stiff and artificial, but that was the best I could do so far. And the ruffles are always way harder to draw from different directions ^^.
I'll try better for the next :).

Thank you though, i appreciate you like it.

@Nosnibor thank you so much and I'm truly glad my work inspire you to grow :).
While I cannot commit to daily assignments, I always count all the exercises from the study companion guide and make a list of how many drawings I should make for the term and then whenever I have the time I trying to fill the list as much as I can ^^.
It gives me a little gamification to all this work as seeing the list being filled gives a good level of satisfaction and endorphins every time I can mark the checkbox :D.
Although I'm lacking a lot with this 3rd term and so far my list is looking like this:

So I'm trying to find the time to draw more assignments not only to learn but to finally fill the list and go further with my learning :). It happens to be a bit of a motivation as well :).

@levelhead14 @Nosnibor yes, it's exactly Obsidian :).
It requires a bit of knowledge to use and I'm still exploring some of it's features, but the best that it can offer is the ability to sync the notes between devices so I have the access to it everywhere, no matter on what device I'm working on ^^.

Been a while, but with all what's going on, even if I'm drawing a bit, I couldn't find the time to post :P.
But finally manage to sit for a couple minutes to do this

Here are my next studies - I'm mainly focus on finishing the clothing assignments before I'll get to the anatomy and sculpting, so I hope you'll forgive me for such monothematic ^^.

First one for cloth on naked figure. I'm still doing it pretty fast and not with too much rendering, but I have to say, I learn some things I can use in my other work already:

Next, another photo study. I'm pretty close to an end with it, having only one left:

I'm starting to adding some more lineart to those to emphasize the contrast and because pure rendering is not one of my strengths, beside it's also not the style I'm aiming for.

Last of the clothing study which makes this assignment done!

I'm gonna say FINALLY, because those were taking a lot of time (around 2 hours each) and while I'm really not that good with rendering (totally lineart person) I had a hard time making those.

Also: I put some more effort to those exercises lately as I'm feeling slightly better with my spine, so here are another two of clothing on a figure:

I'm starting to really like those because I can make them fairly quick, especially when I'm not focusing on details and shading that much :P.
