Here are some construction lines and cylinder exercises I did today:




These are spot on, good shadow choice too

Cheers

I spent a lot of time on the first 2 measured figure drawings because I was being too perfectionistic. When I did the 3rd drawing I just went for it and finished it way faster and enjoyed the process more.


Great job! There’s nothing wrong with taking a long time. At this point I think the major objective is to simply control that stylus and be able to copy outlines and measure. It’s a plus that you draw the figure as you always learn some anatomy even if you aren’t sure what x or y is called - you just get familiar with it

At least that’s how I see these initial studies

It’s really clever when you think about it, memorize the overall proportions, learn to see the basic 3D forms in space that describe the body, learn to copy the outline and learn to spot the flow

Cheers!

Thank you for the reassurance @snakker!
I felt so frustrated while doing this because I kept making sure my lines where as similar as I could get to the reference photo. (I would take my line art and put it over the photo for comparison the whole time)
I'm glad that what I did actually helped me with the 3rd drawing, because I back tracked a lot less and just tried to make confident lines and I was surprised with the end result.

I did some gesture drawings.
I'll need to practice more daily to improve my confidence in placing my lines.

Here are a few 1 and 2 point perspective drawings.
I'm planning of doing my street corner next week as well as practicing my convergence lines using photo's on the internet.
I'll also be repeating the above exercises weekly as well to compare my progress, and post it here if I'm satisfied with them.

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!

looks pretty good to my eyes. only thing that i would suggest is to put the vanishing points way far off the canvas, otherwise will look a bit squished, that said, it works as it is, so good stuff.

Ah yes I see what you mean, I'll try it next time and show you guys. I'll see if I can give the next drawing a bit more more detail, but perspective at the moment is such a headache haha.

these look great

I honestly have no idea on how to draw any interior or exterior things.

BRUH Same XD tho i find that i can't just "draw a building" i need to design it first..

  • what is it used for?
  • what shapes would look good for this building
  • is it a building with lots of windows?
  • practical uses?
  • what would a character see if they walked up to it, went in.

as i answer these then i will know how to design the building and thus then know what to put in, on, and around the building.. most of the time i find that i am not good at drawing enviros cus i didnt design it in detail.. but once i do.. it makes it much easier to draw

Like for example with this one i had such a detailed image of it in my head that i could draw it with relative........ not quite ease... but it wasn't as hard as it used to be either.

Like with this one, i gave the background very little thought XDDD

my goal is to design some buildings for my world in each city so that i know roughly what the buildings would look like then when i make more art i can just be like eyy its that building or that type of building

but with this its more evident i just copied and pasted the buildings on the right side and flipped them on the left side :stuck_out_tongue:

I realllly like your interior drawing btw it looks so cozy... i wanna live there lol

Thanks for sharing how you go about designing/drawing your buildings. I'll give it a go and show you guys how it looks when I'm done.
