Photo convergence lines




I am not sure about this one. Looks like there are two horizon lines but maybe that just my mistake.

I usually draw characters but look like drawing environments can be interesting too.

Very nice room I like the design of the room a lot, also for the fourth image where you are trying to find the convergence lines the horizon line is actually a little further behind the bus. This is some great perspective practice overall. :smile:

I decided to summarize my progress and thoughts before moving to the second term.
1. Pen control

My pen control has improved. All lines smoother and ellipses rounder.
2. Action lines

I don't have much to say about this exercise. I think it is quite straightforward and I don't see big difference here except lines.
3. Proportions

Now I know male and female proportions and can draw them from head. Of course there are space for improvement like anatomy.
4. Gesture drawing

The most interesting exercise. At first it caused only anger and frustration. I was constantly running out of time to draw correctly and I couldn't understand how it could be relaxing or inspiring. But now this is my favorite exercise and I can easily not notice how I spent more time on it than I intended.
5. Full figure

The hardest one. Despite the fact that I see improvements, this exercise still takes a lot of time and efforts. It easily can take 3 hours to complete and because of that I cant do it every day. Also it is hard for me to use pen measurement. Instead I usually rely on relationships between body parts and negative spaces.
I think I am ready to start second term and continue my studies.

I decided to change my approach to full body drawing and don't focus so much on lines. It looks not so good but much faster.

I decided to start with a monster instead of logo and made a cat-slime or clime.

And logo in continuation of the slime theme.

I combined all together and made a box cover.

It's not easy to draw liquids and glass.

Your centerlines in some of your heads should be curved more at the top remember that the base starts as a sphere so the centerline should be like a crosscountor in a sense at the top but it connects to the center of the chin and goes off the circle as it comes further down. The ear seems a little small to me the neck should have some bend to it it isn't a rigid cylinder. The head in the bottom right wouldn't work and looks weird because the neck isn't bending at all. Your side circle should be more on the side as well it looks like it's intruding on the top of the head. Great practice over all keep up the good work!

Thanks, now with a fresh look I can see oddities with center lines (especially the left bottom one). And thanks for the model too. I didn't know that you can insert models here.
