ooh that shading is so good

also does anyone know of a faster way to get a bunch of reference pictures into photoshop at once for those pose practices?

Marc mentioned to reuse the same 30 on rotation so i just bring in all 30 and lay them out how i want them to be laid out (with drawing room next to it) and group those into one and then draw on another layer and just keep using the same document and say Today, you do one study, its on Layer one. tmr you do another one, you hide layer one and make a new layer and draw on that in the same space u drew for today's

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

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

Nice work and good advice! Keep it up!

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


Those drawings are not noob at all. Really great studies and perspectives. Keep it up :smiley:

Thanks for the comments, didn't have much time these days, today I started out with a couple of the exercises from the month thingy

cheers

working on some figure practice with reference, still terrible, any and all critique is well appreciated

cheers
