I can't anymore 🥲 The trees kinda look like blobs but have been really feeling that mental strain ( ﾉﾟｰﾟ)ﾉ I think I've been working on this painting alone for about 8 hours

I tried to pay more attention to making the midground and background of a similar, and lighter value. But for the reference, I found that light and local values kinda make the standard dark, medium, light value distribution a bit mixed. So I think I relied on more of the shadows to help me know that standard order of values. Hopefully it's evident that the darkest shadows are in foreground.

Which created a question: would shadows, or areas not affected by light, generally be a guide to how I should establish the "standard" values? This would be great to know if I were to create my own landscape. If anyone knows let me know! I'll prob search it up too later

Oh! Luke shared this video with me the other day. You may find this helpful for your question!

Thanks Lockenhein! Will take a look

Took a whole day to complete one of the term 3 assignments ;-; Liking how the boxes fit with the muscles, although I messed up one of them unfortunately

Middle stage and final result:

Hi Rebecca.
Congrats in winning our monthly banner at Discord

Wow, I love your constructions! I think these are pretty solid, even though I have some doubts on the neck's muscles in some drawings. Keep it up !

soft.raincloud777 2022-04-11 06:58:00 UTC #47

Thank you Lia! Do you mind elaborating where the neck muscles seem odd? I want to know 🥺

soft.raincloud777 2022-04-11 07:00:16 UTC #48

Two clothing studies I did from reference!

Lockenheim 2022-04-11 14:04:07 UTC #49

Dang these are really fantastic. I don't know why but my favorite part is the bag on the second piece. Just feels so light, wicker and volumous. Fantastic work!

So, I checked the neck's muscles of the second and third drawing of the second row. I tried to draw a head to understand better the flow and shape of the neck, the third is correct but the second one, for me, was a bit thicker. In particular the trapezius on the right side (of the body, not our right) was a bit higher and the left one larger. I corrected also the deltoid because it seemed not in the correct perspective (if the pose is a standard pose).

But take my feed with a grain of salt, I'm not an expert in human anatomy, hope this helps you!
I don't know if you checked yet Proko's video on necks but I'll leave here the link!

Thanks Lia for taking the time to point it out
I used a skeleton as a base for drawing the muscles, as per the instructions for this particular assignment. I corrected the parts you mentioned as well as I could, although I don't think the deltoid could be repositioned as much because of the skeleton:

I appreciate the critique, made me realize that deltoid part probably shouldn't come out that twisty lol and the relationship between parts

lia23798 2022-04-12 08:41:14 UTC #52

Np, but now I understand a lot better. The deltoid I think is in the right place because you are considering its attachment to the bone, I was thinking about bicep's volume that would cover the deltoid. Didn't know that you were using a skeleton to construct the muscles , I'm not yet at term 2.

I'm so glad I found your forum topic, I was wondering where it is since I saw your gorgeous monthly banner work! I love that piece so much Your drawings are so amazing, I can't wait to see more from you!! And also I have to say, the effort you put into your room and 2 point building assignments is incredible!!

Hi rebecca..!
Hope you're doing fine too!
Looking forward to your next art.

soft.raincloud777 2022-05-27 22:10:04 UTC #55

Hi Gellenvera! Sorry this reply is so late, thank you for your kind words! Those two perspective assignments really was a challenge to my tenacity at the time, so I'm glad people like it haha

soft.raincloud777 2022-05-27 22:11:47 UTC #56

oh no im sorry! somehow I forgot to post here for over a month... hopefully i will be posting more!

soft.raincloud777 2022-05-27 22:25:55 UTC #57

A couple works I did over the past month or two. Gosh, how did I forget to post here for over month (╯▽╰ )
I took a pause on going through the terms for art school, and unfortunately went on a tangent...
I did try taking an environment sketching class, so hopefully I will be showing more works from that class when I get to it

But at the moment, I think it's about time (overdue 😅) l go back and finish learning about the muscles...

Lockenheim 2022-05-28 21:55:40 UTC #58

Dang Ireally like your line energy, adds so much to thise pieces! Very well done!

Lukiesartventure 2022-05-31 12:19:34 UTC #59

That ballerina is very well done! Congratulations! Looking forward to more stuff from the environment class
