Nothing will make you realize how awkwardly you’ve furnished your room quite like drawing it in 1 point perspective lol.

Haven’t had the chance to go through the class lately, but here’s something I whipped up for an oc of mine. I’m still a newbie when it comes to colouring, which is one of the things I’m looking forward to improving on. Let me know if you have any thoughts or critiques.

Here’s something a bit different from what I usually draw. I tried to challenge myself and only use three layers: the background, the branch, and the bird itself.

I couldn’t decide if I should go full photo realistic, or more stylized, and ended up somewhere in the middle and failed at both lol 😅. But the process was so soothing and relaxing I still had lots of fun with it.

Nice job, it looks very pretty. That’s a kingfisher?

It is! I looked at a few other birds, but the blue, orange and white colour palette was too attractive to resist.

A quick little study on light and colour. It’s easily what I’m the least comfortable with. I need to practice more, and find a consistent method of doing it.

Hey, welcome back to the forums! This is looking pretty nice!
One thing I'd like to mention though, and I could be wrong here, but it looks to me like you used some sort of glow layer to add lighting on the study. Using different kinds of layers and effects on an artwork is always welcome, but when doing studies, I personally recommend only the basic brushes with nothing fancy on top. Training your eyes that way will be a lot more useful later down the line.
But either way, it's just what I think will help most so feel free to disregard what I say!

That’s great advice, thank you so much! You’re spot on with the glow layer too. I’ll definitely take that into consideration and stick to brushes the next time I try this.

I tried Marc’s “Learn to draw faces in 7 days” exercise, and here’s the results! It was really fun and I learned a lot. My biggest takeaway is that there’s a LOT more I need to learn lol, but this was a good start.

Here’s a few more colour studies! They’re lots of fun and very therapeutic. I would like to be able to do these faster though. I feel like I end up chasing after details that don’t really matter, and it eats up most of the time.

Feedback welcome as always!

These look great! I like how you did transitions between colors

Here’s a sentimental exercise I tried: revisiting old drawings. This is the same character drawn three times, each roughly 10 years apart. Looking at it now I can’t say I’ve improved THAT much (I suppose that’s what the art school is for lol), but at least I started colouring!

Here’s some fanart of Heimerdinger from Arcane/LoL. I’m happy with how the line art turned out, but the colouring was rough. I eventually went with a blue background cause it made his hair pop, which is the part I liked the most. Critical feedback always welcome!
