I tried another drawing method today of drawing gestures with shapes and value, instead of linework

Those values really bring those gestures to life!

Wow, congrats!!
You got this!

Linework: Allows for quick construction of forms
Value: Allows for quick simplification of lighting

See you soon

Some AC Valhalla gestures for the day

Let me know if the low opacity value / linework gestures in the background are too distracting, trying it out to add something to the background.

See you soon

I REALLY love your value gesture paintings (I think you may have invented gesture painting, but I know way too little to know if it alreaydy exists)

[joseph_k]

I feel I am coming into a solid foundation with my gesture drawings and paintings ( thank you @garrok.dev )

Now that I have this down as a good habit, I can begin looking towards mastery and continuing on with the Art School program this year and beyond. While I will be working in the Industry, I feel it is vital to use this program as a means to practice my fundamental skills on a daily basis ( like pushups on the daily to take care of my body! )

See you soon

I am getting back into Figure Drawing These will all be 10 Min or over, focused on deliberate observation and refined detail ( in a short time so I am forced and challenged to simplify as much as possible )

I originally wanted to go term by term for this Art School Program to earn a certificate at the end. I am deciding to go my own way. Instead of going term by term, I will pick and choose what I want to focus on ( i.e. like "Anatomy 2" or "Mech Design" from the program guide ) and create my own assignments and method of study for that area. The information and knowledge is all available to me as I have the entire program downloaded and ready to go, and it is up to me to come to my own conclusions, think for myself, and use it in a way that works authentically to me. This program will be taken at my own pace for my lifetime. So let's begin
