Term 1 - Magz

I really had a big hiatus there, but I'm back on track once again.
I'm in a much better place now, my injury doesn't hurt anymore for the most part and I have a much better computer that can handle photoshop. So let's begin:

The next section was "Nude Figure Drawing 1"

Find the line of action in 10 figures:

Here I'm practicing putting cylinders in different positions:

Here's putting "skeletons" above the same photo reference. I put red on "surfaces" of the skeleton facing the camera to distinguish what I was doing better. The next photo is practice from imagination:

Here I practiced proportion drawing a couple times to get it in my memory. Female and male proportions are pretty similar, just more or less curved depending on which. :

30 minutes of "30 second" gesture drawing:

I think I'm getting the "flow" of it but I lack "structure" and skill with it.

I ended up doing gesture drawing every day since then for a while:
These are day 2 to day 5 of gesture drawing afterwards

Below here are attempts at using what I learned to draw full figures, but something feels... off.

Next Section: "Perspective 1"

Firstly, here's some attempts at lining up the horizon line and vanishing points of some street photos:

Clearly I was having some trouble imagining it spatially, I always have trouble with perspective. But I was starting to finally understand the more I payed attention to the lesson!

While the video was still going I practiced some of the concepts in it. I practiced simple shapes and 1 to 2 point perspective like I was supposed to as well.

Photoshop kept glitching so the lines are wore than they should be. But hopefully it makes sense, it was all starting to "click" for me personally.

Here's the room and buildings in perspective! I was testing out a perspective brush as the line tool kept glitching and it was starting to irritate me. I kept trying to use "shift" and brush but it kept messing up? Anyways, my room is small and a lot more messy irl, but this is how I want my room to look like.

I have very little line confidence which ends up frustrating me and setting me back in my art so I have to practice this and my foundational skills with "structure".

As per your suggestion, I went over the first assignment multiple times (the lines i redid them 4 separate complete times until I could make the lines without ctrl+Z-ing each line a bunch - this is the 4th iteration of it which is a lot less shaky!). The final pen pressure part i did with custom brushes I use, including Marc Brunet's beginner brushes.
