Haha yeah, that's why I only did the many contour lines on that one figure. I just was curious how it would look! Thanks though!

Nude Figure Drawing - Assignment 4
First time doing the cylinders outside of the body. Honestly, my proportions are just a tiny bit off but I did better than I thought I would. I was just trying to tell myself "I can do this" because for some reason I thought it would be too hard? Anyways here's this assignment. I think I'll move on to the 8 heads now!

nice work
do note in the bottom left figure, that the arm is pointing towards the observer rather than being shorter and to the left, more like the upper left figure

cheers

That's for the arm on the left? It looked like the elbow was further away from the observer to me, if so?

snakker 2023-01-22 13:23:57 UTC #25

Bottom left figure, the black guy, the arm (from shoulder to elbow) is pointing almost at the observer so should be more foreshortened

Ohhh okay! Yes, I see it! Thank you for the feedback. Still have a lot of practice to do with my figures haha.

Nude Figure Drawing - Assignment 5
For some reason I was dreading this but it wasn't too hard for my brain to remember. Like Mar said, it took me 3 before it felt pretty easy - 1 following along with Marc.

You can tell I got more confident by the 3rd one though the feet are off cause I was kind of rushing to see if I understood it even when going fast.

Figure Drawing Practice - 1

Took me a while to get here because I was redoing the tablet practice and the beginning color/contrast practice since I moved from krita to ClipStudioPaint, but I'm here!

It was fun! Not my first time doing these but I used lineofaction.com and there was a cute little walkthrough that also helped me just stress less. You can see I've loosened up/wasn't panicking as much for my few 1min drawings! I did draw over other figures sometimes and it is pretty sloppy but it's practice so it's supposed to be a lil ugly haha.

Quick Figure/Gesture Drawings
Dragged myself away from Pokemon Violet for this haha. Just a page full of 30sec poses and a page full of 1min poses. Timing myself sometimes stresses me out so just trying to fit as many poses on a page as possible is kind of more motivating for me.

snakker 2023-01-29 01:52:49 UTC #30

I like your gestures they have nice angularity to them

lolaidaka 2023-01-29 03:26:08 UTC #31

Thank you! Yeah - trying to really focus on shapes because it helps with speed and keep gravitating towards like sharp angled ones haha.

Nude Figure Drawing - Assignment 7

Finally onto the last assignment in this unit! Of course I'll continue to do the gesture drawing and the full figure drawings but it is nice to know I'm done with that little worksheet!

Anyways, these were fun but also rough and took time for me to place lines. I've been working on just making cleaner lines in general but it's such a struggle. Also, of course, still working on my comfort with the drawing tablet. >_<

I also just could not get the foot placement right sometimes? And my shoulder joints were also off while the actual chest area was not off? Obviously need to do more of those joint stick figure practice sessions too lol!

Just hit me I never posted the last piece of art I made before starting the class - just so I know (and anyone looking at this knows) where I started.

I think these are my 2 favorite pieces. Both have "fun" rendering to me and both feel just short of what I want. I dream of drawing pictures that look like they have stories and that's what I aim to create with this course!

Pattu_w 2023-01-29 11:31:57 UTC #34

oh my, now these are some awesome looking pieces, good stuff

snakker 2023-01-29 15:34:29 UTC #35

Yoo these are very nice! They have a very intimate and real (like, from life) feel to them with some cool artistic flair

Are these self portraits or someone you know - or are they imagined?

Cheers!

Thank you!

lolaidaka 2023-01-31 00:34:44 UTC #37

Thank you so much.
First one is actually of my boyfriend and I! And second one is a made up!

1/31 Figure Drawing Practice
Had time to watch only about 30mins of the Perspective video and do a page full of 30sec poses. I'm just exhausted to be honest. I've been having a really rough few days. But it'll look up soon!

Tomorrow I'll start the perspective room since I'm almost done watching that section of the video. In the meantime - I'm pretty okay with how these turned out! They're not all super clear (looking atchu 3rd from the top right >_>) but I feel myself getting more comfortable/less anxious doing them. Interrupting that perfection mindset.

Sophie_B 2023-02-02 15:57:30 UTC #39

Solid work! I especially like that one with arms out on their knee in the middle. Great job getting less anxious with these I am still struggling with that haha!

lolaidaka 2023-02-02 16:55:20 UTC #40

Thank you! I really recommend "Line of Action" cause when you sign up they have this little tutorial that is super short (like 5mins lol) but for some reason I was anxious the whole way through and finishing it gave me confidence. I think it really is remembering that these exercises are just for you. Nobody even really has to see it.
