Moorshum - art school journey

seems like many people post their progress here, looks like a good idea, so.. hi there, i'm moorshum / Nika if you prefer!

unfortunately (or thankfully, who knows), it looks like i won't be able to study in art university, but i still want to get some structured knowledge of art, because mine is quite scattered and shaky. i'm not a total beginner, though, so i picked a fast pace for now, before i move to something harder.

i've just started term 1, here's what i've done today:

what i've discovered today:
- i have very shaky hands, apparently (or my pen grip was off today, idk)
- apple pencil's pressure sensitivity is not very good
- unrelated but it's actually possible to connect a normal keyboard to the ipad??? works very well with clip studio

had fun with these, though drawing cylinders was a bit tedious, considering skipping it and moving forward to gestures

today's gestures and proportions study!
decided to start doing gestures without a timer to get used to it, they still took around 1 min each tho

today's gestures and proportions from memory!

tried different timings for gestures, 30 seconds turned out to be hard but manageable, while 2 minutes is too much. 1 minute is perfect for me right now

haven't posted for a while because... i forgot

some gestures, pose study and personal art

haven't posted in a while... but i'm back!

i've moved to term 2 finally, here is some stuff i did in the past days (not chronological order):

couple of portraits and tried a new approach to gestures - very fun but i need to learn how to do them faster haha
