Julia - ArtSchool Journey

Julia_J 2020-10-14 10:49:52 UTC #1

Hi, I'm Julia and new around here. Quite excited to start my journey of digital drawing
The first assignments already challenged me, always thought I was good with colors, but these "curves" drove me insane (especially picture 4)... Feedback and any tips on how I can improve my color matching are more than welcome!
The next assignments will follow "shortly"

I tried something different for my "dream house", the thumbnail looked nice, the original one.. meh

Welcome! I'm also fairly new on the Art School journey (around 2 months in I think). With regards to adjusting values, I think the best way to learn is continue experimenting with it. I look forward to seeing more from you!

Thank you! You're right, in the end, it's always about experimenting/practising, guess I just need to be more patient I especially like your gesture drawing, which will be my next step

Julia_J 2020-10-15 09:31:44 UTC #4

Next step: Figures. Not as easy as expected, I guess this will be my impression for every step as of now

Next assignment There seems to be something wrong with their legs, but I can't put my finger on it...

These took so long, but I already "detected" improvement, as I didn't need to adjust as many lines in the second one (while overlaying). Definitely will do more of these

Julia_J 2020-10-16 10:05:36 UTC #7

Ohh my... these are quite "disturbing".
Key Learnings - Day 1: I get way too small when drawing on paper, I use way too many lines when drawing digitally. And it doesn't get any better when drawing for 60 secs instead of 30 The first two pages are 30-sec gestures, the last one 60-sec gestures.
Any further advice is more than welcome

Julia_J 2020-10-17 09:56:47 UTC #8

Got the feeling of slight improvement after reflecting on the issues of day 1. Still, a looong way to go, but someday, somehow

Julia_J 2020-10-17 17:24:22 UTC #9

Next Assignment, following the tutorial... but got intimidated at some point and tried to "wing" it and to include some different stuff just to mix it up. Feedback is very welcome

Very nice Julia. Good line quality and understanding of the shapes. Careful on the curved window: left side doesn't match the right one and it feels strange for a glass object. Also, I would revisit the pipe going into the floor: it's top part is not exactly parallel to the ground, and it seems weird.

Julia_J 2020-10-18 15:15:04 UTC #11

Hey, you are so right!
It didn't occur to me, but now I can't un-see it
I will try to fix it the best I can

Julia_J 2020-10-24 16:32:04 UTC #12

Obviously, I need more practice I guess I am in need of the anatomy and shading terms!
Any feedback/tip is highly appreciated.

Just watched the feedback session (can we still call it session? I guess I'll call it feedback day). Wish I could have been there, it was quite special
I tried to fix the Tardis: I added window frames (thanks to Alonso for pointing it out) and slightly adjusted the window plane (thanks to Xenia for even going the extra mile!) The "stick" on the left side which was pointed out by Marc, wasn't easy, still not 100% sure about it...
If there is still something that needs adjustment please tell me!

Julia_J 2020-11-07 17:18:04 UTC #14

Couldn't resist watching term 2 videos
I'm always drawing this little "monster" when doodling, I don't even know why... you can also find it in my perspective drawing Using forms isn't as easy as it looked like in marcs video... but I guess I need to get used to that

Julia_J 2020-11-18 09:09:23 UTC #15

Tried my best to achieve good results, obviously, my blending results automatically in lighter colours... and my lines are shaky

Julia_J 2021-01-03 17:06:30 UTC #16

I got totally lost in this portrait, fixing one little thing lead immediately to awareness about all the other things that needed fixing The hair is obviously still missing... after some tips from VonSchlippe it will follow shortly.

Julia_J 2021-01-10 13:33:59 UTC #17

Added more forehead and reduced the hair-highlights after Marc's feedback. I did encounter some issues regarding the colour... which looked totally different on my drawing monitor. Did a lot of colour corrections (thanks to hints on the discord server).

I'm AMAZED by the realistic feeling this gives. Congrats!!!

Julia_J 2021-01-10 15:13:35 UTC #19

Aww thank you There were a lot of steps I struggled a lot with, but it taught me, that I need to just "go for it" sometimes. Always second-guessing myself

Looks great!
