Makoren - Art School Journey

Hi everyone, just bought the course. I've already joined Discord and you guys have been great so far.

I'm 25, and I've been drawing on and off over the past 3 years, but never really got serious about it until now. I don't have any "talent", I rarely drew as a child. This is me learning almost from scratch.

I'm using an iPad and Apple Pencil to draw, and the drawing app is Adobe Fresco or Procreate (I tend to jump between these two a lot, they're both really good).

Here's some of my art:

August 2021

I'm starting with Term 1. Here's all the practice I've done over the past 4 days, I stopped doing the warmups pretty quickly since I was drawing action lines and cylinders in the skeletons anyway:

Hello there! There's not much I can see wrong with these sketches and practices you have so far, you're doing good! I hope to see lots of progress from you! :>

From here on out I'll probably be posting Term 1 practice (until Term 2), unless I feel confident enough to draw something else.

I can see that you are practicing quite a lot, and it’s showing. Keep up the good work!

Nice practise, I think your able to match the direction and size of the cylinders, and are able to tell if they're rotated towards the camera. But I do think you would benefit from taking your time on a few of the cylinder studies to get the shapes as correct as possible. making sure to get the elipse on the end of the cylinder the right angle, and trying to match the curve on each of the segments.

Still, lots of good stuff ^-^

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

when you do the skeleton exercise I would fill in the top or bottom of the cylinder that we see with a solid color so it is easier to tell what side we see or don't see so its easier to read
