Term 1 - bad63rfx

Hey guys,
this is me starting out. I am Igor from Germany and I work as Compositor/Supervisor for FIlm and TV, but my drawing and painting is bad to say the least. So I thought, let's get up early and work on those basic skills. So here I am. Facing the cringe to improve.

So, the plan is watching one class then doing the assignments until I am happy or well at least got a good grasp on the topic.

First stop Pen Control. I try to start practice of with that sheet. Here is Session 1 and Session 6. There is already some improvement, although at times frustrating, it gets better.

And here is Image Adjustments.
I struggled a bit with the second image with the sci fi girl. I kinda was not able to retain the detail in the upper left clouds. Drove me nuts
Still some tweaks possible.

With pen control, what I struggle with the most is overcoming friction on the tablet. Do you have your hand on the tablet as well or do you flow over it?

Thanks @znowflakez I will give it a try .

Hey, here is my House at the Lake. I know the perspective of the house is off, but it is hard to find a view which is not close by. Anyway. Put in the house and a guest visiting me, enjoying the water.

Oh, and my glove came. Let's see what it does for me over the weekend.

Thanks @chad-25-philander

Here are the other exercises for PS for DP 1

This was relative straight forward.

I tried to do it with pics on my own, but gosh is it hard to find photographs of the same person in similar lighting and pose, even if it is a celebrity. So, I sticked to the images provided.

Some stretching here and there, but I guess that is the natur eof the thing when you push it to hard.

Of to Nude Figure Drawing.
