And here we have todays "cubes" in perspective. I did a sheet of normal cubes in 2-point-perspectives yesterday and today i got kinda tired of only drawing cubes so I switched things up a bit by drawing cubes first and then adding/substracting some forms to make them more interesting (while trying my best to keep them in perspective). Take a guess what each form represents as i have no clue . Was fun though!

Really creative work with the shapes, How fun!

Some shapes in 2-point-perspective. Instead of just drawing some random cubes I decided to construct a little scene instead. I'll call it finished now because I don't think it will ever truly be finished .

Omg I really love this!!! Can you share the one with the guidelines? I'm interested to see how it came to be

woah that looks so awesome!!

I love all these shapes and structures! that looks like a rly nice city!

Thanks . I'll gladly share the guidelines too. Unfortunately, I had to take a picture with my phone (please excuse the bad quality) since the vanishing lines are auto generated by the program and I don't know how to save them (when I save as a Jpeg they get auto-deleted). I hope this still helps you!

Actually I can't belive that I took a picture with my phone like a cave-man xD. Here, have some screenshots. As you can see, the vanishing points are quite far off (image two). Also, I really did not use the existing lines. As you can see in Image one, krita auto generates the perspective lines around your cursor (highlighted in red). Drawing in perspective gets really easy this way.

Swiss cheese holes! I never saw this in the forum. Well done!

Hey guys
Im back! I hope you are all fine and did not miss me too much ^^. After taking a week of vacation and visiting some friends and their baby, I finally got back home and was able to draw again. This week I started with the 2 minute gesture drawing poses, as the study guide suggests. They went kinda well and since I liked (most) of them I went ahead and did some shading afterwards. I am really not sure if i did this correctly, so if you don't mind please help me out

mitsuki-youko 2023-05-12 16:37:58 UTC #57

ooh i really like how you did the sketches and the shading!! its very clear where the light source is from your sketch!

olashamala 2023-05-13 15:18:18 UTC #58

Love the shading!!

NikoM 2023-05-13 16:58:24 UTC #59

I finally finished it . Boy that took ages. Overall I think it looks quite nicely, however the proportions mostly are off, once you lay my sketch over the original image. Still I'm kinda proud . Did not think I could get that close (after my first attemt with different paintings went horribly wrong).

lookin good!
