Snakker here,

Been working on some cylinders for today

cheers

Today was the extruded cube thing, I think my light and shading is messed up but he did say to shade it

Anyways, if you have any criticism I'm all ears, also does anyone know of a faster way to get a bunch of reference pictures into photoshop at once for those pose practices?

cheers

Hello, thanks for the kind words Mitsuki, and yeah, that's a good idea, I'm slowly going through the videos so I must not have gotten to the part where he recommended that yet.

For now, I'm posting my first attempt at the proportions assignment from memory, it's a little embarrassing as it is, but with practice I'm sure it will look better in next interactions

cheers

A doodle

Continuing with the theme of self humiliation, more attempts at drawing the figure from imagination. I think I'm going to stop here. Use some references, work on improving the aesthetic of my sketches and watch that video again before attempting again.

So I just opened Tomfoxdraws's book, "Drawing Form and Pose", and first thing I read just blows my mind. less is more, go for simple shapes, confident lines, and decide well where you place your marks. He says that the most common mistake for beginners is complicating things too much, adding too much detail and thus there are a bunch of lines with no clear decision behind them.

I'm just going to write that down here for future reference and for anyone reading if it helps. Also PSA Humble bundle is selling a huge art bundle including Painter for like 30$

cheers

Snakker here,

So today, I’ve Just been practicing drawing and painting in 3d space. I made it a point not to use any perspective lines or any type of help, just drawing and erasing and trying to make the objects as 3d as possible and make it work. The last one was a bunch of boxes I drew like that around a center point and then I tried rendering by only using square brush, all in all this workout was harder than expected but I feel its was very useful

Cheers
