Here are my initial attempts for this method. I quite like this blended with the Loomis method. It made things make more sense to me. Looking forward to continuing this course.

Hey Guys, me again ;). I've been focusing heavily on mannequins lately, trying to incorporate gesture and mannequins more succinctly. But I thought I'd keep practicing my rendering as well. This was another long one. I took a chance with the composition (as I haven't started studying that) and I'm happy with it overall. This one was a challenge because of the multiple light sources and the subject being very muscular so lots of shading ball type forms. As always critiques are welcome!
Hello, In My Classroom> Dashboard> my timed sessions you can redo your last few sessions. That way, you can review them
Hey Cseri, I've tried that but the issue is that you don't get the same images. It just starts a new instance of a session but with the same settings/packs.

I posted this on the Digital Painting Fundamentals class but I wanted to post it here as well. This is another study trying to improve my blending, edge control, and add more details. As always critiques are welcome!

This is great! You got the proportions perfect and the anatomy looks nice.
If you want to take this to the next level and emphasize the top of the figure, you could darken the lower torso and legs. I added a soft gradient across the figure to create a focal area around the head and chest.
I like your painting. I hope this helps.
Keep it up!

Here is my attempt at grayscale painting. I used a Gouache brush in Clip Studio for everything (except the for the line art). This one took quite a while for me to render, probably about 7 hours over 3 days, but I'm pretty happy with it. I've been spending a lot of time experimenting with brushes and blending. I plan on rendering this same image a couple more times with different brushes to see how they work. Critiques are always welcome!

A couple more studies, I'm trying to get better with blending values and edge control to show structure or soft areas. If anyone has brush recommendations for Clip Studio for shading, I'm all ears! I also attempted drawing a figure completely from imagination. I'm happy enough with it but that's certainly where knowing some more anatomy will help. Any critiques welcome!
I think your observation is false in the picture 2. The light by far is not as bride on the belly and leg than on the booba and face. head and upper chest is clearly like spotlide so you have to tone everything else down. if you have more question follow my youtube channel bendergpt i do mostly inking and or drawings. Dont forget spotlights cast hard shadows so you can really clear edge then and everything outside it you can make it soft it will make a great composition if you even like exaggorate it.

I think your shading is looking good. I can't speak on Clip Studio, but I did want to point out that the extended leg on your figure from imagination looks like it's backwards. The shape you used for the knee looks like shorthand for the back of the knee (popliteal fossa), and the bulge of the calf is higher on the left side of her leg opposed to the right. Nice work overall, it's so difficult to draw a figure from imagination!

First attempt at a 5 value shading. Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out but those dark and light halftones were very difficult to separate at times. Critiques are always welcome.
Hey Proko Team,
I'm really enjoying the updates to the Timer tool with being able to download images and get information about the images. However, when I'm in the middle of going through a session, typically, the last thing I'm thinking about is pausing the timer and downloading the image or saving the pack it came from. Right now, it goes to the "Well Done" screen when finished but doesn't provide an option to look through the session images again. So, I would love to see a feature in the future to be able to go back through the images after you complete a session to review and perhaps download ones that I might want to take further than a gesture drawing.
Hey @randomnese, they are planning on doing weekly releases of the lessons and have discussed that it's going to take over a year (or two) to release the whole course, similar to what they are doing with the Drawing Basics course. So, you aren't going to have access to all the lessons at once when it comes out.
