I try these quick iterations after watching the video. I haven't draw gestures in a while and I always do the timed sketches, but I feel like I'm still to trapped with contours even thou I always go for feeling and flow. Any advice?

Thanks for the advice Marshall.

I don't know if I'm still on time for chance to be critique or if it's gonna be a critique video of this lesson, but here's my first try on a freehand orthos. But of course because I had to shoot myself in the foot by choosing one of the most difficult Rider Machines possible for this exercise, just because the current season of Kamen Rider is soooooo good. I kinda have this bad habit of rushing to towards the end of a long drawing, which makes me kind of mess-up a little by the end. Any advice to fix that? I can already see where are some errors. I may try doing with tools next, but I will choose something more simple next time. I would love to hear any feedback.

I had to speedrun this ones today since is my day off. I apologize for my lack of imagination and poor line quality making these Rapid Iterations. I would like some advice regrading improving my imagination and line quality when I have such a limited time. I have Carpal Tunnel and I work as a Live Caricature so I mostly leave drawing for work, but since is soon going to be spring break I may not have much time for the Orthos. What advice could you give to tackle that?

This is probably all I can do for now. I would try to make one more before the 5th. But what can you see needs work here? (Besides the clean-up) And of my roughs which one you like the better?

Here's two more, I think the second one turn out the best, but I'm still not satisfy with the line quality and the shapes. But in terms of perspective what needs to be improve?

Ok, I watched the lesson yesterday and did this one today at work because things were going slow, so I went from what I could remember from the assignment. I'm gonna watch the lesson again and retry with the information fresh in my mind. The one thing I did neglect was setting a timer for this. When I submit more, should I do it in the comment session of this video or the second video? What do you see needs works? (Besides line quality)

I don't think AI art can ever replace real art, ai will be use as a tool, and real art without ai use will become a new form of marketing tool to be sell as unique or luxury. I think we need to be at least up to speed with ai advancements and artist need to become entrepreneurs. Create our own studios and brands, if you lack a business mind set team-up with someone who can cover your blind spots. I believe that even if ai can produce a whole movie by its own it will still require a real artist to guide it, in the long-run real human connection will still be saw after. I'm sure that if you put two pieces made by ai and a real artist there will be people who prefer the ai, but there will still be people who go for the real artist as well, that just means we need to stay on the top of our game. Now is the time for independent creators to take the spot and let the old guard to rot in their mediocracy. Is happening in the indie scene with comics as well as books. Whether you adopt ai or not in your work, put your art out there, sell prints, do commissions, look for independents that are willing to hire, post your animations or comics on Youtube, there's always someone who is willing to buy your work.

I got this character turnarounds I did for a character design course years ago. Would this work or should I try something new?
