I am very excited to be taking this course. I definitely fall into the copy what I see trap a lot but I am getting better about it. I found art I like on Insta, I did screen shots to give credit to the artists I found inspiring. I have been drawing since the 80's but just off and on. I want to get better at drawing out of my head as I have a comic in my head that I would like to get out onto paper. I think fundamental knowledge is the foundation you need in order to really improve as an artist so I am starting there and taking courses going over those building blocks to move past my current plateau. I practice the following mediums. Watercolors, Pen & Ink Photography (film and digital) I started taking my own reference pictures and went down the rabbit hole. I also do stained glass and draw my own patterns. I feel all of these things feed on one another Photography can teach you about composition, Pen and ink can teach you what to look for when doing black and white photography and so on. I included a couple of my own works at the end the boats and Ferrari. I will talk about each one briefly and why I picked it. 1. Thomas Schaller I love the perspective in this including the perspective of the cast shadows. I could look at this for hours. 2-6. JeremyHunterArt. I really like his style and his video review of a perspective book lead me down this journey. I especially like the abandoned station in the jungle I love his environments. 7. PaulHeaston He has lots of great posts with amazing perspective. I always like this classic rounded mirror drawing. 8. Aaron.Hudacky I love cars but I like the 3 different view points and the low angle at the bottom. 9. David_Drazil I love the process drawing I have an idea for a similar building in my comic so this grabbed my attention. 10. product_designer_maker I was in the Navy for 22 years and did damage control I can just feel this drawing. Even though it is one dimensional I can tell the shape and curves and how it would feel in my hand. 11. Davidclynk Frank Lloyd Wright vibes and since I live a few hours from his falling water house I had to pick this one. I just get a real sense of the presence of the house. I also find the large numbers on the front interesting and my mind keeps making up stories about them. Is this a mass produced home where everyone gets the same thing could it be an old military complex converted to a home? I also love the plants incorporated in the roof. 12-13. my boats and Ferrari.
