I'll just echo @Doomblick's words on Discord: this is definitely one of the best 1p perspective drawing I've seen so far in this course. Congrats Michaela, this turned out SUPER amazing. Straight into your portfolio.
Couldn't agree more. Great Job! @michaelachang

Finished the Viscomm 2 lecture. I've been watching through the Term 2 Anatomy 1 and slowly taking notes, but recently I've finished two more pieces! I'm not studying as I'd like to, but that's not something I want to stress out about. No big deal, just keep making art 
So good! only thing that stands out to me is the hands on the second drawing. not sure they should rotate as much as you have them drawn. at least I wasn't able to replicate that angle in person. Great rendering style.
Ooh, these turned out nice! I really like the lighting in both of them. I also like how you executed the blue tips in the hair on the second one, it's really beautiful.
Wow those two pieces are really great, Michaela!
Theres just one thing I am not quite sure about:
In your second piece, the girls hands as she is tying up her hair are extremely pronated. I‘ve tried to do that pose myself and, as I am an inflexible dude, couldnt do it. It feel a little unnatural to have the thumbs turn upwards. Letting them point to the floor feels more natural and easy.
Hope that helps✌️✌️

[Term 2] Anatomy 1
It's been a while, but I'm back with another set of study pages! I'm officially on summer break now too! It took a long time but I finished taking notes for the facial features part of the lecture. I'm going to do studies of each facial feature in sets of 10 + 2-3 from imagination. Here are my lecture notes and ear studies
For the ear studies, my basic method was:
- Sketch
- Base silhouette + shadow shapes
- Overpaint focusing on:
- Midtones
- Occlusion shadow
- Highlights
- Accent color/color variation
- Any final touches with a hard brush (no opacity).
I haven't done painting studies in a long, LONG time so it was really fun to do these. Usually people see their improvement in their personal pieces, but I'm seeing improvement in my studies instead because I don't do them as often hahaha.
I think you did a great job on those assignements, michaela!
Your heads have good structure and I really love you ears, especially the sketches, they already convey a good sense of depth even without any rendering👍👍👍

Haven't posted here in a hot minute! Finally done with noses
I've been doing a lot of personal art (which you can see here https://www.instagram.com/milkcee12/) but not as many studies.
I feel bad about it, but one of the things I want to work on in 2022 is only comparing my progress to my past self. So, I'll count this post as a win. I've started studying again.
These are so good! The way you use colors is extraordinary!!
Wow your rendering is incredible. :o

Page 3 Reflection
- I thought eyes were a super detailed/complex part of the body, but
they aren't. It's a part of the face that's mostly soft edges; the
highlights make a HUGE difference in the perception of detail. - The shape of the highlight was the most impactful in describing the
form of the pupils. Make them follow a general curve and your pupil
will seem round and full of form. - Resist the urge to draw every eyelashand eyebrow hair.
