Looks fantastic, lots of details and activity. Everything looks solid and feels anchored into the drawing. Shovelguy needs to wake up though, he's definitely going to bump into crate-guy.

The one critique I have is for the awning roof. The left outer corner is having a severe tangent with the lip of the roof behind it. A small thing but it does lose some of it's form because of it. I'm also not sure of the top right corner of the awning roof, the overlap of the main-roof and the awning seems reversed? It could just be because the wall-panels between the corner facing the viewer and the strut holding up the awning are not defined, so it creates an optical illusion.

Either way, its just small stuff. Great work!

Practicing some of the primitive drawing exercises from term 1. I just have a few more character studies left to do and I am ready to move on to term 2.

A character study of Nezuko from Demon Slayer.
I think I am going to move on to Term 2 since I don't feel like I am learning much from these character studies at the moment and would rather put my energy into other exercises that can help me build up to creating my own character designs.

Maybe I will do a few more in between the Term 2 homework.

The environmental study looks pretty good. I like the line work and the environment does look lively. The line work on Nezuko is good as well.

Getting back into the swing of things after a little break for the holidays. :blush: Here's my first post for Term 2. I actually did 2 pages of these, but unfortunately lost the file for the first page. On a positive note, i'm starting to feel more comfortable drawing these forms freehand.

Jan 8

Practicing head rotation drawings. I referenced a book called Special Training Animation for these. It helped to block in a grey circle base as a guide.

More head studies. I find the extreme rotations and keeping the proportions correct with perspective challenging. I tried keeping the circles on the sides of the heads in the middle row here, but I think I prefer the lob off method I was using for those angles in the sheet I did yesterday since I don't think the the circles wouldn't technically be visible from that straight on view. I got the practice sheet from youtube.

The head studies are pretty great. The anatomy studies as well. The head rotations and lines make it pretty 3-dimensional.

Jan 15

Some ear studies with some quick shading. I also tried to apply a few contour lines to show the forms.

Jan 16

Great Studies so far. Keep it up.

Trying to break down the structure of the nose with some draw overs. I also tried coloring the different sections in with a different color.

Nice work mate!

keep at it

My progress has been a bit slow lately and I hope I can get more study time in this week. Here are some more nose studies. Structure rough in + some shading.

I'm trying to think of everything as a 3D volume these days and think about the contour lines going across the form when I sketch.
