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.

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.

Mar 1

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

Photoshop 2 - Assignments part 2

These were a lot of fun! Especially the smooth transitions between colors. I didn't use the smudge tool there, as I wanted to try it with only a brush and the color picker. I did use the smudge tool a bit for the three round shapes in assignment 5.
I also enjoyed making the fence brush. I played around with the symmetry option there.

10 head studies.
With the first two I didn't have a plan and I started to draw freely next to the reference. I had to adjust the proportions quite a bit with the second one because of that.
So for all the others after that I made some sort of grid (more like guidelines) before making the sketch. This really helped smoothen the process.
I also may struggle with Marc's instructions telling: "lineart only" :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: All these studies are at a different stage I guess. From sketchy to more detailed.

Really great studies! They look very accurate. One thing I would avoid though is cutting off the head and hair. I see it was cut off in your references in some cases, but you should likely choose references that are not cut off, or complete the areas that are cut off in your drawing.
