Someone else doing this course on an ipad and have problem with buffering on the videos? I have no problems with other proko courses. Just this one. And its really annoying because I can only watch a few minuites and it stops and starts to buffer for forever.

How long is this going to go on? Is it really the single most important thing we have to practice? We've been at it for over 3 months now, and the tedium of watching these seemingly endless videos is exasperating.

These are my grayscale works for the assignment

I just got the digital painting fundamental course. And first project was painting a grey scale figure painting from reference. No limit in values or edges. I used what I learned here and made value composition tumbnales before i started.

Here is my assignment. First time i painted like this digitally and it was great fun! I did 3- value tumbnailes before i started like ive just learned from drawing basic course. After that i had a better clue of what value composition i aimed for. I only used maybe 5 brushes. Trying to use them all at once just makes me overwhelmed. I will learn the tools little by little. (I Upload this for second time because i found a little proportion issue i wanted to change that i now have fixed)

First assignment completed. Spent about 4 hours on it. I struggled with the metal textures on the belt buckle, I need to do some metal texture studies. Also the small stippling on the clothing like his cap.

Wacom tablets are very expensive. But there are some good much cheaper options today like Huion and xp pen. I have a Huion tablet but i use my iPad Pro 12,9 with clip studio. Then I can sit comfy in my armchair with no need to Connect it to a computer.

I like it on the second one that it looks like he scoffs

Not directly on topic. But because you mentioned gel pens. I have a question. I bought a lot of white gelpens to have a bunch. But they all dried out. Why? And is it possible to undry them? Wich liquid if so? Some kind of alcohol?

I did a side quest to keep things interessting to me. I did just focus on light and shadow and different directions of light source on this one. When i rendering drawings i often choose the same direction of the light source without knowing Wich direction that the drawing would benefit the most of. So i wanted to explore this. Choosed a muscular reference from dragon ball z. Muscles are one of the most fun things to draw with light and shadow for the 3d effect. I didnt care about any background on these.
