Just got in a quick sketch - hope it's in time

I guess Skelly finally had enough candy corn?

Tried to go for a more painterly approach for this one in the name of stylization.

Thanks a bunch, @Charlene 😁

This is just meant to be a study before I do the main thing. Lol I look like an evil psychotic polka dot clown. If I could please have constructive criticism on anatomy, face planes, light and shadow and shape design. I'm aware the shading is messy as this was meant to be a quick study before the main event. Graphite pencil on cartridge paper.

I love the concept and the intensity! Personally I would probably unify the darks more, to separate them from the lights. I believe this should also make the lights seem brighter and more intense 😊 so, for example I would darken my right side of the nose.

I decided to do a ‘full’ under drawing for this one. Any comments on shadow patterns would be appreciated, as the reference has a ton of ambient light making it flat so I had to invent quite a bit to get some interesting shadows 😊 good luck guys

Incredible! For me it’s perfect, but clearly you’re more experienced than me. Just by seeing the sketch I can see that your painting will look turn out great. Good luck!

I really like all your sharp planar angles and shading. I had to kind of invent and exaggerate the shadows on mine as well as it also had ambient light. I think your shadow shapes look great. I'm guessing your main light source is shining down from the top let hand corner?

I would really appreciate some help or advice on this one. I can tell that something is clearly not working, but I really can't tell if it's my values / modelling , if it's construction, pencil handling or something else. I am a bit stumped, honestly. Thanks in advance :))

Hello Guys, I just completed the Joints assignments and was looking forward to get some constructive criticism on my assignment. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help me out. Thank you!

Hey you! I think these look like you have a great understanding of most of the simplifications of the skeleton. although, I do think your palms should taper down towards the wrist, so instead of being the same width at the knuckles and at the wrist, it should be narrower at the wrist. hope this makes sense. :)) good job

Here's my entry :)) I used photos 6,11,14 and 16

Hey Oliver, Nice job on this still life. I think you did a great job on turning the form on these, and the texture you implied with the highlight works good. The only thing that jumps out to me is the cast shadows, they are very dark and my eye goes right to them. If you have light bouncing into the shadow of the fruit, it would also bounce into the cast shadow, lightening them. Remember, the eye is drawn to the area of highest contrast, and those shadows are really drawing my attention away from the fruit. Hope this is helpful :) The answer to your other question is: Yes, you can always sell your art!

Thanks, @Steve Lenze it totally does

I did this sketch/still life the other day. The painting in painted directly/opaquely on grey paper primed with shellac. And it seems a slight bit off to me. Any recommendations on improvements? One thing I have been thinking of is if the edge from light to dark is too sharp. Second question: does anyone here have an opinion on whether or not I could sell this? And even what price it could be sold at? The piece itself isn't very big (a bit under 10x10cm) Thanks in advance to anyone answering
