Nice going, day 23 is looking good. In day 22 exercise the direction of the line at the doors and various rooftops are a bit off. Try in one point perspective to always go either parallel or perpendicular to the ground for anything facing you and directly towards the vanishing point for everything else

26 foreshortening is a tough πŸ˜†πŸ™ˆ

Daym Omer, seriously impressive work, and there's a great deal of improvement over just 29 Days, Really like your hand on day 29, and your hand construction on day 26!.

Indeed, lots of improvement. I know personally that it can sometimes be disheartening when you try to do something and it comes out disappointing in your own eyes. But if you can push through it you get better and it becomes more fun as you go along

Just make sure you don’t stop learning. It’s far too common to get good at one or two things and forget the fundamentals, then call it a style

You should strive to always do new things and push yourself

Cheers

This 100x, Art isn't a steady slope up, it's usually flatline until you suddenly just shoot up in the sky with knowledge.

Thank you all so much!
I having a couple of super busy weeks but I try and keep practicing every day :smile:
I'll keep working and posting of course!
Thank you guys for all the support and critic it is really helping and encouraging πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Yo its great seeing all the art gains. If you like rotating skulls try doing a super simplified form and rotating it as you rotate a box encasing it. That’s what I’m doing right now actually as I am preparing to learn to draw heads

Thanks :smile: I really hope to test it out soon,
btw - I'm gonna start shifting back to the artschool program, do you have any advise as to
how long should I keep at every day/assignment or any tips to get the best results and such?

Well, I guess it's going to vary for everyone. Depends a little on your priorities and how much time you can actually dedicate to art
What I am doing is finding as much time as possible lately and dedicating it to art study because I'm enjoying it a lot, heck I'm a hardcore gamer and am barely playing these days

I kind of arbitrarily set the time frame of 4 months per term (like semesters in a university) and during that time I watch the videos, take some notes in my sketchbook, and occasionally review them to make sure I learn the basic concepts for the long run. I try to practice every aspect in the term, not just do the assignment and consider that part done, rather I think you should at least get to a point where you are comfortable and satisfied with the work you can put out before moving on.

For term 1 that means in figure drawing, getting comfortable doing gestures, trying out different ways to do that by holding the stylus in different ways, changing the inclination of my tablet and getting used to doing gestures in different time frames, experimenting. Also implemented some traditional media so as not to become good in digital and not be able to draw with a pencil (I'd be kind of embarrassed IMO). Do a bunch of those cylinders and boxes of people, copy figures with proportions etc. I wouldn't move on if I didn't feel I am at least adequate at it. Same thing for the rest of the assignments and classes.

Apart from that, I would sometimes push myself beyond, trying to do constructions, trying to shade things, copying art with color but that's all stuff I'm doing because I feel it's fun and it costs nothing to experiment. Just have to do a balancing act. To improve I think you should definitely take it slow and focus on the simplest steps, not because they're easiest, but because they enable you to do more complex things later on. You need that foundation to be able to build upon

That said, it's easy to get lost in your own doodles as I soon found out, to get lost in experiments, and it's not a bad thing per se, just keep an eye on that and make sure you are actually also accomplishing the objectives of the current term

Wow that was long, sorry about that :stuck_out_tongue:

Good luck in the art school, and don't forget to have fun!

cheers

Thanks for the all the tips, these are all super helpful!! I'll do my best 😁
