Hi. My name is nautica and this is my art school journey and I'm just starting out and I will be posting my assignments and things I'm working on as I go. I would love to hear feedback from you guys about my work! This is the first assignment and it's not the best and for the pen pressure exercise I know it's not right. I don't have a similar brush right now and I'm waiting for the clip studio paint update so I can try out Marc's beginner brush pack. I will be working on these exercises for a couple more weeks till I feel comfortable with them and I will upload my progress again then. I'm also using a wacom intuos S right now, I will be getting a bigger tablet soon (XP PEN DECO 01 V2). I look forward to what's next in my art journey! :grinning:

welcome! I'm new as well and have the same tablet as you (ARE WE TWINS? omgg :smiley:)

I'm not too much of help right now, but it looks like you're off to a splendid start. i noticed that some of the longer lines in part 1 curves a bit. are you making sure to use your shoulder to move instead of your elbow and wrist? I'm focusing on that since I have the same troubles.

Thanks and i'm trying to use my shoulder as best as I can. My tablet is so small making it kind of hard and I still need to get use to drawing on the tablet. I usually draw traditionally and currently using drawabox along side art school.

I just finished assignment 2 - Image Adjustments I would love to have feedback on it if anyone has the time to give me one :grinning: I did pretty good on the first one matching the colors except for purple I had trouble with that one. The second one with levels I had trouble with that as well but I matched the values as close as I could. And the very last one I matched it as best as I could but I know its not perfect and I will have to practice that one some more. I had fun though learning to match colors and values!

This an update to assignment 1 - digital pen control after 2 weeks of practicing it everyday. I have improved since the first time doing it. I will keep practicing these till I'm completely comfortable with this.

I definitely see the improvment compared to the first time you did the exercise! Keep it up :smile:

This is what I got for assignment 3 combining images I know it's not the best and I plan on coming back to it in the future and redoing it. I did learn alot from this experience and had alot of fun doing it! :grinning:

these are the three images I used
