Looking good! Keep up the good work!

[ I am focusing on the fundamentals with anatomy, so these gestures are really key. I want to get to a point where I can draw these gestures accurately from my imagination, as it would simply come naturally to me with more and more knowledge ]

See you soon

My foundation for my ART School Journey was not sustainable. I'm building a new one. I thought that perhaps I'd be working as a concept artist in the game and film industries by now, but I'd suppose I'm a late bloomer...and also perhaps a bit naive as to how much incredible work is needed to get there and more importantly, stay there and continue growing and improving.

Here are gestures from today. I decided not to go in and clean the gestures up this time. This is more true to how much visual information I'm able to put down on canvas in such short of a time.

I'll be seeing you soon

I'll aim to post weekly updates on Fridays. These will include gestures and whichever anatomy week I'm on ( i.e. face, chest, legs, and arms ). The anatomy week will rotate each week, to be sure that I can learn a specific anatomy portion one at a time. I may also possibly include other fundamentals, like perspective practices. With this change, I can simply go slow and steady and be more consistent.

So, what of the assignments? I'll aim to post these on Sundays. Having this kind of clear separation between working on the fundamentals and completing the assignments is big. It allows me to be more present, having my mind cleared after letting go of trying to do everything all at once to the detriment of my focus and energy.

So, here is my weekly update for Week 4 of August 2022:

Figuring out a timeline to complete all of the assignments and terms will take time. For now, I'll just take it slow. See you soon

Here is my assignment for Anatomy 3. Please feel free to provide feedback. I'll aim to finish TERM 4 and TERM 5 next month. See you soon.

For this week, I decided to draw gestures of Spider-Man for fun, as well as having an Arm Anatomy Week. Here's my progress:

And that's that! See you soon

I love the "themes" of your gesture drawings 😄 make them a bit more interesting xD Very good idea 👍

Lockenheim 2022-09-04 15:42:18 UTC #156

Very lovely arm study! Love to see the progress! Keep it up!

Here are the remaining assignments for TERM 4. Learning about color palettes and especially how to draw shadows in proper perspective seem to be very valuable things I need to learn a lot more over time.

For the color portion of the assignment, I decided to use various analogous color schemes to visualize different versions of some warrior ( the thing they're carrying on their front is meant to be a large crystal -- maybe it's part of their religious beliefs?, etc. ).

I'm now moving on to TERM 5, though I will continue to work on older content and assignments as I'm learning the new content. See you soon, and thank you for your feedback

Here is my 2nd Progress Update for September 2022. This was a Chest Anatomy week, and I feel a little bit better in my knowledge of it.

For my previous assignment work, I went for the Figure Drawing assignment from TERM 1, choosing Halo Elites as a fun alternative to regular references photos of people.

And that's that! See you soon

This weekend, I've gone for a simple complimentary color scheme for the TERM 4 Color and Light Theory 1 assignment. Here's the result:

I could look into many other color schemes over time. See you soon

Love the one on the right 😄 Looks like a skeleton baddie to me xD

Here is my third weekly update for Sep. 22. This week I chose to work on my knowledge of faces with Anatomy 2. ( Also, I've included ALL of my work for the week in these images ).

That is all, and thank you for your feedback. See you soon
