I think my submission is more of like gesture than dynamic shapes. Sorry for the unrefined lines.

Gesture drawing vs drawing dynamic shapes are not that different. It’s ok to push the gesture for these. The sketchyness adds more energy too. Good stuff.

Hey! I need some critiques. I don't know how will I assess this artwork since I heavily relied on my imagination and based on what I currently know. Idk this just feels plain to me. I think the values kinda feels right. But the colors and lighting is meh. Would appreciate tips/ advices.

Another batch. This time tried to experiment with colors and not just copy what is in the photograph.

I like these! The sky in the first one is really nicely done, and I like how you simplified the background. The cactus feels rudimentary, I think because of its width, and tone. Maybe using a brown or ochre color instead of green would divorce it from the mental image I have if a cactus? Because it’s dusk (or dawn I guess) the colors would be less saturated, and because the it’s contrajoure (I don’t know how to spell that… because the light is behind the cactus) I think it would be more silhouetted (nope, can’t spell that either.) EDIT: Contre-jour, that’s what I was looking for, and amazingly, I seplled silhouetted correctly.

And this is the second batch. This time used a small flat brush, done today. I'm proud of the outcome of these paints, it is bette than the first one.

Hello. This is my first batch of thumbnail paints all done in one session. Had a lot of dissatisfaction and a hard time painting these because of the round brush I use, somehow big to manipulate some shapes and it absorbs too much water that makes a watercolor effect which I'm not aiming for. I can't find the other picture I used as reference, I forgot where I saw it.
