Hello, I would say interior spaces are my biggest hurdle not to say that I’m much better at jumping over the shorter ones but scale, proportion and knowing the best spot to place a camera when composing a scene is usually like hitting a brick wall cuz there are no limits in drawing except for myself. Dividing up ellipses and choosing the proper degree of ellipse is something I rarely do correctly , my goals change from day to day, but essentially i like creating visual stories that amuse me and hopefully someday have the skill to create my projects. excited to learn, if anything I hope to solidify my understanding of these topics through practices given in this class.

Another master study of the legendary j.c leyendecker. It was fun but I screw up with his iconic parallel strokes. Mines is more visible than he did on his painting.

This was tough to match the teachers pace even with the little breaks of explanation definitely gonna give this another go

Hello, here are my face maps, definitely gained more understanding about the face by making these so I will keep practicing to improve quality and likeness. With time may even graduate to light and shadow in the future. Great lessons!

So here's another small gouache studies i did, i got lucky this time it turned out okayy..😅

I took an online workshop with Jared Cullum last night. Here are a few sketches from it. His YouTube channel is pretty great also if anyone wants to check it out.

I made my first gauche experiment the other day, my goal was to just paint a few isolated logs so really a lack of planning was mistake one followed by not doing a wash of colour over everything, then adding blue to my inaccurately placed cast shadow really killed it among other things. I would like to join here if I can because seeing all your great studies is inspiring. Also I’ve pondered about the Jeff watts classes but I’ve more or less been trying to focus on foundational drawing ability. I shared the state of my pallet because well its probably an example of what not to do, that said it was a great time and will be doing more.

Face maps! Eyes came out small especially the far side, need to refer back to my steps before going darker also checking my work in a mirror is something I never practice, but great teachings.

Hello, just wanted to share some more form portrait practices. I wasn’t using a pen to bring them to a finish just trying to find the simpler design of the form and usually see my mistakes more clearly that way I turn causing me to stop. For the most part I just need to pay closer attention too proportion distances of all the elements of the face as a whole. All that said this is the closest I ever came to solid head construction.

Hello, Thought I’d share a few attempts I have reference for. definitely have,” wide face syndrome”, something I need to be more mindful of and generally end up doing a lot of searching lines which makes a mess. I’ll keep plugging away, but I like this class and certainly helps in the invention department.
