Thanks, @mau.wamp! I am really excited to learn here! Let's do this!

Hi! Can't wait to see your drawings Remember that with enough drive and practice you can become good

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! I know we all can do this and reach beyond our goals, so right back at you and keep it up!

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

megpol19 2021-06-26 00:01:48 UTC #12

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

Some work for the anatomy 1 assignment in Term 2:

Heads with some features and a full head with attempted shading

LesleyCarol 2021-06-30 23:40:09 UTC #14

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!

I did more practice with anatomy 1 and drew Teal'c from Stargate SG1!

Great stuff really like your headshapes cant wait to get on mine when im there

Da_Bingus 2021-07-08 14:42:44 UTC #18

Hi Megan ! Sorry i want very active recently workimg 2 jobs is not fun... but regarding the feedback i recomend that you take some time practising shading more to make it look more smooth i think if you mail shading your drawings will look much better
The anatomy looks great!
Keep it up

megpol19 2021-07-15 05:26:51 UTC #19

Thanks Florian! I can't wait to see yours!

megpol19 2021-07-15 05:28:55 UTC #20

Hi Sebastian! Same here, actually! I commend your ability to make great progress and your dedication to your practice even though you're working 2 Summer jobs! Thanks for the advice! I can definitely see now that I really need to work on my shading to make it more smooth like skin texture. Thanks for the encouragement! Right back at you

Love the reference subject! Keep up the great work!

megpol19 2021-07-18 22:46:38 UTC #22

Thanks for the encouragement! I will definitely keep up the practice
