Career high pointsJust wanted to share a cool story. For anyone familiar with the hidden camera show Impractical Jokers, I had the opportunity to meet Joe Gatto recently. He’s an avid dog lover. He has over 15 dogs that he adopts and gives a good home to live out the remainder of their lives. And these are two of his favorites dogs from the whole pack. Giving Joe this gift was one of the coolest moments in my art career. He seemed genuinely moved and excited and told me he planned to hang it up at home. I’ll never know if he really did, but it’s really cool to think my drawing could be bringing Joe a level of happiness that he has brought me over the years that I’ve been watching him.
I’m curious, what are other artists high points throughout their career? What’s one moment you can reflect back on that made you realize why all this hard work is worth it?

Personally I found this assignment very frustrating. Especially the VR girl. I just don't feel like I am ready to tackle drawings of such complexity and scale yet, with so many proportions to consider. The issues with proportions in the VR girl are so numerous that I just get too frustrated.
I personally would've appreciated something a bit more simple to get the core concept (sketching) across rather than having such complex drawings. Especially a hand? I mean come on... everyone knows hands are very frustrating and challenging even for very experienced artists.
I dunno maybe it's me.
I don’t think it’s you or the subject. I think you’re just doing what most artists do, and that is hyper criticize your own work. I think these look great. You took a difficult challenge, did your best with it, and probably learned a ton in the process. You should be proud of that. Don’t get caught up in practice drawings being perfect. Just focus on the concepts and hours of practice put in. The drawings will grow naturally on their own. You’re doing awesome. Keep going.

This is a work in progress. I initially posted it in the level 1 but it is better here (I deleted it there). In June I was in the long room in Trinity College in Dublin and was impressed. And it is a fantastic library for one point perspective. However it is my intention to add an arcade to it in the second hall. I scanned it to continue digitally in GIMP, because this drawing on paper is only on A5 paper and it was becoming too messy. So this is a work in progress... but the intention is the level 2 with the arcade in the back... When finished digitally I shall add it here, but it may not be in time for the critiques.

I had a lot of fun with this project. I really struggled with the flippers when drawing for level 2. These videos were a game changer for me though. So thankful to finally have a video that clearly lays out the fundamentals of dynamic shape design. Thanks Stan!

This is my first time ever posting a project for critique in time. I hope I get a chance to get a critique from Stan, but I’d love to hear what others think as well. Here’s stages 1,2 and 3. This proved to be more difficult than I expected. I’m glad I gave it a try. Very insightful.

Helloo, this are my assignments what do you guys think did I do it right? I would really apreciate some critiques :D
Overall, I think everything looks really well. The only area that seems to stand out to me in a few of the poses, is the space between the knee to the feet. It feels like perhaps they were shortened to fit on the page? I often find my sketches become way larger then I intended. But they all look good.
