Did the rest of the Photoshop assignment... in Clip Studio. The apples and alien were straightforward enough but I had to use a bunch of filters to make the aging one work since there is no automatic patching or healing in CSP (That I know of). It did reduce the aging effect more than I intended but at least my boy Tom doesn't look like a Frankenstein monster.

Went partly through the nude figure drawing lesson. Wanted to try and get down the mannequin construction right before doing the rest. Hardest part is probably un-learning the way i already do this and also trying to do it quickly.

Double whammy update. Been doing some gesture drawing and also working on the proportions assignment. I got the proportions not so well the first try (in blue) but i feel my second attempt (in red) is better. I still need to look at a reference for it though. We'll see how long till i can do it from memory.

... and here are some gesture drawings from past couple days. Been flip-flopping between 30 sec and 1 min gestures for them. I feel more comfortable doing the 1 min ones but i am trying to challenge myself and really prioritize feeling on the 30 sec ones.
The main issue i have with this is that i rarely have time to really look much a proportions at all. If this is a failing or intended, i am not sure but i sure hope to get better at it.

Thank you lots for the supportive words! I hope i get to see some of that progress myself going forwards, it's kinda hard to see when it's yourself, hahah.
