It took awhile to see the boxes in the hand. I found it really helped starting with a single plane, then figure out the angle needed to project it into a cube.

This exercise was great, I feel like I have a much better grasp of how to put a portrait into perspective.

I started putting a sketch book in my kitchen so I can do some perspective practice while waiting on food. One issues I was finding a fall into frequently was that my drawings always placed the opposing wall as much wider than it actually was. The mistake was making everything affixed to the wall appear much too wide/short. I am trying to put much more thought into the placement of that back wall at the beginning of the drawing.

Gave it a try studying rapids as well. I found it very clear to start with ellipses then I sketched on top the supporting details. I tried to show the rounded form of water falling off the edges but it was tough. The foam was 😭 Feedback always appreciated!

This is all after the demo. I do like these exercises, and I will definitely do alot more of these. I might be too caught up in the anatomy sometimes, but I am not sure. A lot of my own personal studies have some sort of anatomy studies in there so that is maybe why. The overhand grip again was very hard for me. I did feel it is a little more cleaner than last time, but it is very uncomfortable for my hand. I do like some more than others, but overall I am not sure where I should place myself. if there are any big mistakes or things I am doing well I am not aware of, letting me know is something I have a lot of gratitude for!

are these too sloppy?

I think I started getting the hang of it by the end. I figured out tilt controls on my brush, and its helped me make more elegant lines.

I saw some improvements with each iteration, but I think I need to move on and do these as warmups for a little while. The last 3 were from imagination

I think I'll do another attempt using only straight lines. I think I slipped into using curves

This is definitely a lot harder than I was expecting. It was a little easier before I watched the critiques and realized I was doing it wrong. I think I am struggling to tell the difference between a drawing that looks bad versus one that doesn't satisfy the objective of the task.
