Hello, I just wanted to post some updates. This is some of my progress I have submitted for review last week to the stream and some of the new things I have been practicing since then. Any comments and criticism is welcome!

This was my second attempt at the one point perspective assignment. This took me so much time but I feel like I got a better understanding of perspective. Marc suggested that I add ambient occlusion to this piece to update it so I did that as well in the next picture.

I feel like it makes quite a bit of difference!

Here is my construction for this assignment.

Here are some examples of cylinders / constructions / measuring drawings I submitted last stream.

Those are the pieces I submitted for last weeks stream. Here is some of my newer work and some of the submissions for this upcoming stream.

Marc suggested I move to 2 minute gesture drawings so this was my first attempt, I sometimes take a little bit longer if I am struggling and mark down how much extra time I take next to each figure

I wanted to be able to quickly show the head direction so I did 30 sec head direction sessions and added more if I had extra time.

I feel like the head practice helped in this round of drawings.

Marc suggested for my measuring drawings that I take away the grid that I have used to help measure and use negative space to help position objects of the body, so I was very nervous to draw from reference without using a grid, so I did quite a few quick practice drawings before hand until I could get the figure down in 2 minutes.

I had almost completed my two point perspective assignment before last stream, and I put the final touches on it last Sunday I believe. I added an ambient occlusion pass to this as well and if anyone has any suggestions to enhance this please let me know. The circle in the top right is supposed to be a scrolling menu, but it turned out kind of unclear.

and here is the construction for the 2 point perspective assignment.

Thanks for looking through these assignments from last week and this week. If you have any advice or criticism please let me know! Especially about the Black Cat Cafe assignment. Thanks!

Great improvement, keep going!! :smile: :muscle:

8 days later

Hello, its me again! I just wanted to post some progress from this week. I moved into term 2 and had such a hard time warping shapes! But I keep practicing.

Blending Practice

Sphere practice, I wasn't happy with most of these and will keep practicing. In retrospect most of these arn't spheres lol.

The main thing I worked this week was warping. Oh I found this so very difficult. Here is some of my practice.

After many tears and sweat here are my submissions for the week. I attempted to shade the bottom one but am not really sure what I am doing yet lol!

Thanks for reading! Any feedback is always appreciated. :blush:

Hello Locke,

i just saw your posts and these are great studies! Im looking forward to see future results :smile:

Hi, that's a nice amount of work, I like your figures :smile:

The heads also are looking nice and mostly well constructed
I have some feedback for the heads, but take it with a grain of salt since I haven't reached that part of the program or studied heads in a while.
First I'm just curious why some of them are upside down ? the model was hanging or something ? x) or is it to have a new look on them ?
Then the front facing head on the last page, you drew an ellipse for the center line when it should have been a line if it is full front and symetric. Also the same one, don't forget to erase the side of the base circle at the temples
If the head is tilted up or down, the ellipses of the hair line and nose should be tilted accordingly (especially in the last page). The proportions end up skewed.
On the first two pages the center line is sometimes not in the center for the 3/4 views
And finally I feel the vertical part of the jaw is a bit too short and too vertical, it should be slightly towards the front

For the construction practice, for the cylinders you can curve the wrapping lines more at the edges to improve the 3D feel, like you did for the spheres.

Hope that helps, it's a lot of text but not big problems to correct, you're on the right track! :+1:
