Welcome to the forums!! 
Thank you! I didn't notice all 3 of those had huge smiles until I read the comment so I'm happy you like them!
Thanks for sharing your point of view on joining this, makes me motivated to keep posting and drawing, see you around!
First week stuff, I misread the document went ahead of myself to do the liquify/cloning exercise as well but that's fine, off to a neat start I'd say. I already have some pen control since this is obviously not my first time using a table so I took this pen control exercise as a chance to practice faster and more direct strokes instead of slowly going at it, circles were great to train the entire arm as it's really important to not stick with the wrist or the fingers alone.
I've never used curves or editad values before so I was a bit worried about that assignment but it was actually really fun!
I joined the Discord server and after chatting with some people in the Term 1 chat I got a better picture of how I'm gonna aproach it seeing how I already have some drawing skills from before, I'm not just gonna skip content like that but if I do see things that feel easy for me I won't give them as much priority when it comes to practicing. With that being said, here's a bunch of recent stuff I've made for the assignments. I won't be posting every single thing because if I had to put every single daily pen control practice or bunch of cilinders they'd eat up the whole board before getting to the good part! And my wall of text is already filler enough.
Days 3 and 4 of gesture drawing + A little drawing for myself! I think I overdid it in terms of quantity on the fourth day, I really really need to work on my bad habit of suddenly crunching tasks and maybe space them out a bit throughout the day (My hand kinda hurts after doing so many gestures in a row). There's a bunch of gestures in this topic now, does anyone have any advice or critiques about them?
Trying my hand out at a bit of perspective, chiseling some cubes, there's also a bunch of new pen control exercise I'm doing. I'm sadly kinda behind when it comes to the character lineart copying assignment but I don't seem to be the only one haha, I'll keep them up and hopefully finish them this week, I couldn't sit down to draw for a couple of days so I'll probably extend this a bit
ooh nice studies
