Another set of gesture drawing, and reference drawing assignment for term 1. And I said in the last post I would move on to term 2... ( ﾉ ﾟｰﾟ)ﾉ
I had some difficulty/ confusion with the photoshop part a assignments, probably because I'm using clip studio paint instead. I attempted to do the first 2 assignments so far; here is mine for the second:
I referenced a butterfly, images from Monsters Inc., a cat, and tarantula eyes (side note: tarantula eyes are so adorable, but the rest of their body makes me feel conflicted, goodness it's a weird feeling), which is a bit out there since I wanted to make them mysterious, but cute at the same time 
Would appreciate any feedback!

Some more pose drawings and a head sketch
I'm currently still going through Marc Brunet's anatomy lesson for term 2, which is the last lesson of the term I have yet to complete. Learning the anatomy of the ear for one really helped clarify what exactly were the structures I was drawing when I was doing a sketch of the face shown below. Looking forward to learning and practicing other structures of the face soon!
I can't wait to see your new pieces! These are fantastic! Great work! Keep it up!
Thanks so much Lockenheim! The amount of detail and dedication in your work is also amazing, looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
Tried to do a "draw this in your style" challenge. Really pushed myself to my limits and I certainly saw my limits lol. The arms don't quite look as realistic anatomy-wise. Definitely will work on my anatomy to improve in the future!
aand I will slide in my Instagram art account huhu (would love some encouragement there!)

nice figure sketches especially the traditional ones ... ur building looks interesting as well ... and u sure have a good understanding of color too ... hope to see some more ... and when u got some more character themes let me now in the "General" section 
I really love what you did there, did you use a reference? It kinda looks like french architecture, I'm no expert, just french x)
yes! I did use a reference! Goodness there's no way I could do one without it at this stage lol
You're probably right that the building is french too! I could only decipher it to be some European structure ;-;
and woh you're french?! french people always seem so classy, i like
some nose studies! 
Great studies!
Added eyes to some nose studies I drew the eyes too big for the initial 2 or 3 nose-and-eyes pairs, but oh well, it's in pen so I can't really correct it... ;-;
Also tried to draw a portrait in charcoal pencil, after learning all the parts of the face for term 2!
I think all that's left for me in term 2 is to practice drawing some faces some more and finishing my 3 pt perspective; I'm getting excited about progressing some more!
I love how you handle these features, they look fantastic in charcoal! Keep it up!
A 3 point perspective study! I referenced the Neuschwanstein castle from Germany, but experimented with colors, composition, and tried add a dash of storytelling in this piece. I'm not entirely satisfied with my result, but I already spent too many hours on this ;-; (12 hrs) my brain feels like an old potato x - x
I'm planning to do more (definitely shorter) perspective studies for the rest of this and next week!
These look amazing! How long have you been doing art for?
Thank you!
I've had some basic traditional art training from about 5th to 10th grade. We sketched a lot from reference, using pencil, charcoal, and watercolor. I sketched and painted here and there for a few years afterwards. If strictly speaking about digital art, I only started doing it seriously since December 2021, I think? I'm guessing that the training I had helped the transition to be easier
Very impressive, The perspective looks correct overall and I really like the colors. The only thing I am able to critique is that the carriage, horse and character are not quite in perspective. Their vertical lines would follow the same vanishing point as the castle, but they instead are perfectly aligned with the picture frame.
On a second read, the trees on the right are quite similar in value and color of the background, making them hard to read.
Whoah! This is amazing! Fantastic work! I love how you use these color notes everywhere.
Wow, I never would have noticed the perspective mistake if you didn't point it out, thanks so much! I hope to work more on value in the future, definitely an important aspect to improve upon!
