Hi there! I have been interested in art throughout my life, and I have sporadically done traditional art without any intention of improvement. I started digital art a couple of weeks ago and I was truly enamored, and I decided to work on improving my skills. I am excited to learn digital art alongside all of you, and I am grateful for this opportunity to learn and share my art school journey!

Hi there, @What_the_dog_doin_tho! Thanks for the motivation! That means a lot and this has filled me with much inspiration to work hard to improve and make great art! :smiley: I know we all can do this and reach beyond our goals, so right back at you and keep it up! :smile:

Here are a few pieces of the assignment that I worked on today for Perspective in Term 1! The first one consists of two cube shapes that I created from two different vanishing points below the horizon in 1-point perspective. I will practice this more with cubes above the horizon and add in sculpted shapes as I progress, as well as practice 2-point perspectives. There are also two photos below in which I used street view while following the assignment and created convergence lines to find the vanishing point and horizon!

I've been working and practicing with the Term 1 Nude Figure Drawing assignments for the past few days! Here are some of those that I've done!

And yay! I managed to do the first one from memory :smiley:

Oops and now I'm realizing that the last figure from reference's legs need to be closer together :sweat_smile:

The form and shading on these are looking really solid!

If you don't mind, a couple of critiques I have are the ears are a little too high and the jaw line under the ear is too short. The ear should comfortably under the top line, like you did for the two on the far right. The jaw on the bottom portrait is throwing things off a little because the lower part is too long.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for the critiques! This really helps! Now that you've pointed this out, I can really see what you mean. I'll work on fixing the jawlines and making sure those have enough length and also making sure the ears are well-positioned and practice this more. You're awesome, thanks a bunch!
