Thanks for your reply and your thoughts on it. You're right I got a bit too carried away with this piece. The shading and highlighting wasn't necessary. As the focus was mainly on the proportions, there are indeed a lot of shading inconsistencies. This takes away the attention of the real and only assignment. Next time I'll try to focus on measuring only :smile:

Two more character lineart studies.

These studies were really satisfying to do! With the next five characters I'll be using the grid method to make it more challenging for myself :).

I finished 30 days of making 30sec/1 min gesture drawings. Here some pages:

Next will be 2 and 5 minute gesture drawings! Maybe I'll try some digital ones as well.

I also made the first character study with the grid method. The small canvas size was challenging, but it went pretty well!

It's been a while since I posted something here. That doesn't mean I forgot about Art School. In the meantime I watched all videos (because I was very curious) and completed term 1. In the next couple of weeks I'll post everything that I've made so far, starting with these character studies. All are made with the grid method.

Perspective 1 assignment 3. In stead of drawing a room from my house, I chose to draw a cat cafe. It was a lot of fun, but also frustrating at some times when the position of an object seemed off and I had to start over again. Nevertheless I love the result you can get starting from "a simple" one point perspective.

Very cute! Love the cat cafe idea and nice job on the space! The picnic table legs on the back side seem a bit off and are going at a much more extreme angle than the legs on the front side of the table.

Thanks for your comment and feedback! I see what you mean. There was a lot of struggling with that table haha.

Some 2 and 5 minute gesture drawings.

Two point perspective study.

Some environment studies.

Photoshop 2 - Assignments part 1
This was a great way (and at times frustrating way - I'm looking at you, pen tool) to explore many different features in Photoshop. These were all first times for me, so I kept it simple.

2 and 10 minute gesture drawings. I will do 5 and 1 minute with these poses later!
