I didn't use the 3D model as reference because I wanted a greater challenge after the last similar assignment which wasn't such a success. I think I did a much better job this time around!

Recent gesture practice. I had to derust on the first sessions, but I think I finally got in the flow on the later ones (while also spending more than twice the time on every figure from that point onwards).

And that's the end of PL102. Thanks, Jeremy! Like you said, I'll try to spend the majority of the time I put into this to paint and draw instead of listening to people talk about painting and drawing.

Not so happy about the second one but first and third went alright.

Gold. started rough but it got better after the 3rd. stumbled again on the last one.

Translucent.

Velvet.

Plastic and ceramic.

Monsters and Well! I think that in terms of bounce light I always tend to dim it down a notch. This comes from trying to keep the value structure clear with separated light and dark families, so that bounce light isn't brighter than any halftone. Perhaps I'll push it a bit further in the next studies and artworks and really make it pop.

I didn't think I would have had this many failed attempts, yet here we are. I think what I'm missing is a better planification and to constantly keep an eye on my line systems so that they all check out, which.. they don't in these. All drawn digitally free-hand to practice drawing straight lines, it's definitely much harder on a sceen tablet's slippery surface compared to pencil on paper.
