So I took a few days off to spend more time with my wife and kid but I hope to jump back in and continue my art journey!

*** Color and Light Theory 01 Assignments ***

I kinda breezed this lesson through because I studied shadows before so I did the minimum amount of assignments

*** Anatomy 03 Assignment ***

Took a couple o' weeks working on anatomy on and off. Life does make it hard to focus on one thing at a time

Anatomy was my weakness but now I'm feeling more confident but sooooo much more practice is still needed to actually draw half decently... Just like Marc said: do it for a couple of years and you will get it someday lol. Count this as month 1 I guess XD

I also did a little bit of character design before I jump into Term 05!

Is it just me or anyone has the same issue? I always catch my mistakes after I post them lol. I did't turn his left (his right) leg muscles and it's facing me like I'm a huge failure...

I really think that is one of the benefits of posting, something about seeing it again really does help to notice the more subtle errors. Keep at it!

Here's Term 5
I'm excited to start a new term! I really feel like all those previous terms came together.

*** Character Design Assignment 01 ***

I mainly focus on drawing and painting landscapes in the past and through this lesson I really came to love characters too!

*** Character Design Assignment 02 ***

I put a bit more time into this one mainly because I still struggle with anatomy and rendering.
In the beginning I had soldier in mind but it seemed too generic and boring so I gave her some robotic modifications

I went back and fixed up some designs and attempted to render it out a bit. Next step is color and maybe texture too.

*** Character Design Assignment 03 ***

I wasn't happy with the second character so I tried my luck and came up with a new one instead.
I tried coloring right after the line work and it was really hard. Took way too long to try and figure things out. But in the end I think I learned alot (what not to do).

*** Mech Design ***
This went through a couple iterations but at the end I decided on this design.
It's a drilling mech for mining.
