Hello! Got some more progress on my "room" assignment. I'm slowly realizing that it's turning more into a science laboratory than a representation of my room, but oh well. I'll try to fix up the line quality when I'm finished drawing the room in entirety. Any feedback is appreciated!

I did some gesture drawing today as well, here is what I did in one of my sessions. Not really sure if I'm doing these properly or not. I feel like you can understand the pose in most of these, but they might be lacking something, I'm not sure.

More progress on the assignment today! It's pretty hard coming up with ideas of how to fill the room up, so I'm just going to shorten the size of it in order to not drive myself crazy.

More gestures...

Thank you so much! I was getting worried that I wasn't doing the gestures properly.

Hello! I finally finished the "room" assignment. Again, it's not much of a representation of my room, but the moment I realized that, I was too far in to go back. The left side has a lot more detail than the right purely because I was pretty unmotivated to finish the project. I'll probably be moving onto term 2 after taking a break for a day or two.

Just did some gestures today in order to chill out. I'm planning to move onto term 2 sometime within the upcoming days.

Did the first assignment for Anatomy I. I recognize that my ability to shade properly in digital medium is terrible, so that's something I'm definitely going to have to work on. I did these rather quick as I think I have a good understanding of these concepts already (apart from shading). Looking forward to drawing faces

Hello! I practiced doing some basic head drawings mostly from imagination. Some of them look a little weird to me, but I suppose I'll get better at it the more I practice! Feedback on these is appreciated!

Did some gesture drawings today too. These were roughly 1 minute each.

Hello! I haven't been posting anything for over a week, but that's because I've been trying to tackle shading. I have little to no experience with it on pencil and paper, so doing it digitally was definitely a challenge. I've had numerous failed attempts over the course of the last week before I arrived at this painting.
The middle nose is my 3 value block-in of the image and the one on the far right is the final result after doing some edge work.
I'm far from being good at this still, so any feedback is appreciated!

One more thing...
If you or anyone you know is struggling with shading, I recommend giving this video (particularly starting at 8:25) a watch. It really helped clarify to me the "process" of shading. Without this, I probably would have continued to be completely lost.

Got another nose drawing for today. I don't think this one turned out as well as my previous one did. There was a lot less contrast between values in the reference image for this painting which is why I think it looks more smooth.

I'll probably be moving onto eyes tomorrow because I've been on noses for quite some time.

Feedback is appreciated!

Hello! I said in my previous post that I was going to move onto eyes next, but apparently Marc goes over the mouth before he does the eyes, so I practiced drawing the mouth today. I did a 5 value block-in using a reference image of a nose and mouth. I probably won't be fully rendering this image because it'll take me many hours to do (and I'm also pretty sure that I'll make it worse if I try).

Feedback is appreciated!

I practiced some line art with the mouth and nose combined. I'll probably be focusing more on line art from now on rather than shading as I think it'll help me improve faster.
Although these drawings look volumetric, I'm not particularly sure if I drew the planes correctly, especially for the mouth.
Feedback is appreciated.
