Image Adjustments assignments. I found the color balance to be particularly difficult mainly because there are a lot more small adjustments you can make. And that last one, oof, man that one was hard. I got closer, but still pretty far away from the source image.

Welcome :smile: And the last one was killing most of us here :smiley:

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

Here is the "Dream Home" assignment. The composition was hard with the varying perspectives of each image. I think I made the dragon much too dark... 🤔

The photo manipulation assignments. These tools can really create some interesting and horrific images :laughing: I think I could have dealt better with the alien as I think I rashly used the liquify tools, and it resulted in a lot of obvious manipulation.

I wanted to really solidify what I've learned so far and made this delicious Oranana.

This is disconcerting. Well done.

I've started the gestures video, and have practiced the basics of the line of action and simple shapes for the ribcage and pelvis. I present some evidence here to the court:

Since I have gone through Proko's figure drawing course, this was not very difficult for me. But i'ts a good and humbling thing to go back to the basics. My pride has already caused me enough pain in drawing, why allow it to grow? Dash it against the rocks of the fundamentals!

Haha ok, enough of my ranting...

Gestures with the cylinders for limbs:

First (somewhat messy) attempt at the average proportions assignment.

I've finally finished watching all of the Nude Figure Drawing video. Here is my first full practice session. Thanks for reading this, I really appreciate the GESTURE, ahahaha! get it cause the gesture.. and, you know drawing? and.. yeah ok I'll see myself out...
30 second gestures:

1 minuet gestures:

The other stuff :smile: :

Just an update with a small portion of my practice of few gestures to prove I am alive and still practicing... or am I? Vsauce music plays

Here is the one point perspective assignment:

This look nice! I think using thinner lines would be a good ides so we could see more of the chairs, but the perspective looks really solid.

Oh my gosh, thinner lines, that’s a brilliant idea! I can’t believe I didn’t even think to do that 😆. Thank you for pointing that out, I’ll be sure to use thinner lines in the next one.

1 month later

Alright, good grief! after about a month I am finally back up and running. I recently moved so there has been a lot of sorting things out. But I am finally back now! Here is the second part of the perspective term using two vanishing points:

Something janky went on with the tower on the left, I am not quite sure how I messed it up, but it just seems off.
