my dumbell weights were very blob shaped and so i decided to use it for my assignment, i do feel like i could have maybe done something more angular because organic curved lines feel more difficult to do in perspective but it was a good challenge

Much to learn...

Aaron blaise study

Eyeballing/freehanding it wildly, so it came out pretty wonky and scratchy in places.

I always do this exercise before drawing. I started noticing I can use ellipses to draw UFOs or UAPs. So I warmed up by drawing them abduct mushrooms lol.

Not the easiest animal to simplify.

My attempt at the assignment. Still struggling with understanding the build of the underside of the chin and contours of the next. Any suggestions on how to improve my drawings are appreciated.

For this one I tried to apply a 3 values study according to the volumes of the face. But with hard edges only

I'm relieved to have finished the assignment, although I'm not completely satisfied with it. I need to practice distinguishing grayscale values, especially when it comes to interpreting the values in clothing.

For about fifty years now, I’ve often thought about getting an airbrush, but never took the plunge. Is 61 years of age too old to take the plunge? I think I already know that answer. 🤣 After spending 40+ years operating printing presses, I experienced firsthand the industry transform from analog to digital. From a commercial standpoint, digital is the only way to go. And from the love of one off art perspective, analog all the way. I got The Master of Illusions book by Sandro Del-Prete after being exposed to him from your perspective course video about him. I am thoroughly enjoying that book by the way. But, I have a feeling that in the next few weeks or so, that I will have an airbrush in my hands! I hope sweat doesn’t interfere with my water based paint! Gee thanks, Marshall! 🤣 🤷‍♂️
