Hi, I'm phizzle12. I've been doing art for many years since I was young, but I feel that I haven't been making a lot of progress lately. After watching a bunch of Marc's videos on YouTube for a few months, I was convinced to take his Artschool course. I also appreciate his advice of making progress like a marathon instead of doing everything at once. I'm taking my time as I watch and do the assignments whenever I can on my time. I'm not really sure what I want to do with art in the future. I'm not sure whether to be a concept artist, illustrator, comic book artist, etc. I hope to find what I'm looking for as I keep taking the course.

However, when it comes to art, I typically love comic book art and, in general, illustrations, both traditional and digital. So I feel that I might be in one of those camps.

I hope to level up in my art!

These assignments have been very humbling to me. To be honest, I thought I was good at drawing, but doing these assignments made me realize that there's still so much I have to learn. And knowing this fact excites me because now I know where to go in my art journey, and I can't wait to learn more!

Also, if anyone has any advice about using the image adjustment tools, that would be much appreciated, because I spent a lot of time with them for this assignment, and I'm still confused on how to use them.

You did a very good job on the color matching, the only critique that i have is that the background where the clouds are aren't as greenish blue they are missing saturation. Other than that you did really good, a lot better than my attempt. I look forward to your progress.

You did so well with the color adjustments! I won't lie. The line and circle exercises were very humbling for me too, but if you're not used to working with a tablet/computer set up, don't beat yourself up. I was switching from Procreate and pencil/paper to a tablet and laptop and I was moritfiedddd haha! Can't wait to see your progress!

Thank you! Truthfully, I have been working for a tablet for quite a while. I don't have the best foundations when it comes to line work in general, and I have always avoided practicing this skill until now. After this exercise, I definitely have to improve in this area.

Here are my combining images and apple assignments. I'm still working on these assignments slowly. I never done this photo manipulation before, but I find it surprisingly fun. Though, I still need to improve.

I really like your "dream home" one! Particularly the cat in the... almost foreground lol! Very dreamy.

Thank you! I didn't really feel like putting a human in there, so I went with a cat lol

Here is the rest of the photo manipulation assignments. I had a hard time with putting Martin Sheen's features onto Andrew Garfield's face, but it was fascinating to use photoshop to age someone up. Also, I chose them because of the Amazing Spider-Man movies.

I had a fun time liquifying an alien's face and making it look close to Willem Dafoe's face. Though, I also had a hard time with the muddy textures as a result of the liquify tool. And it occurred to me after I finished the liquify tool that Willem Dafoe was from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man series. So, this is a nice Spider-Man-themed post.

Here is some of my perspective assignments and studies. I have always slacked off on perspective since I have never found this process entertaining. I preferred figure drawing. However, doing the exercises was a nice break from human figures since I was drawing boxes most of the time. The exercises also allowed me to see the use of perspective in other people's artwork more recently. I look forward to incorporating perspective into my drawing routine/exercise.
