I forgot how satisfying it is to do these very precise drawings with all the crisp, clean lines. The actual Break Pad itself has this tiny zip tie holding everything together. When doing the orthos I just ignored that since it's not really part of the main object

Super clean!! Nice work!
@rcworshop
Fun exercice even if the details on the hand got me distracted and the result is not there. By the third one flow was more easy to do. Warming up!
Patrick Bosworth
These are looking pretty good! Keep it up!
@caprissa
Hi! I’ve had a lot of fun with this exercise but it also showed me just how wonky my lines can be despite trying to draw from the arm 🙃 definitely still need a lot of practice! Any feedback would be welcome!
Patrick Bosworth
These are looking good! Really nice job on the hand. You're paying attention to proportions, and getting really good results! Line quality when drawing from the shoulder will come with practice. Glad you're having fun, that's the most important part for fast improvement! Keep up the good work!!

Yes, this an acrylic primed canvas, and yes it's recommended to apply another coat of gesso to this pre-primed surface. Check out the next video where Morgan demos how he applies gesso to a canvas panel, he explains why. Another layer of gesso will smooth out the surface and fill in more of the canvas texture which is ideal for portrait painting.

Here's one from a watercolor workshop lead by Jared Cullum this weekend. He's a great teacher, awesome youtube videos on both watercolor and gouache!

Incredible work!

This is fantastic. Wonderful work. I second the assessment of Jared Cullum. That dude is a national treasure. It's rare to find someone who can both do art at a high level and explain it. Not only can he do that, he is great on giving insights on how to practice for the long-term. For instance, the reason I'm doing master studies at a smaller size is because of Jared. You'll see a lot of these smaller studies coming out of me in the upcoming weeks, and it's all thanks to a push in the right direction from Jared. Coincidentally, I signed up for his Patreon this weekend. For $10 a month, I'm getting access to a treasure trove of information. This weekend, I'm going to go through his tutorial on painting skies in watercolor. There is so much there. I've taken one workshop from him and will take more in the future. I want to spend time going through a lot of his videos so that when I have him on video call I have good questions.

A couple master studies from tonight.

Inspiring work, as always!! The gators are fantastic, strong negative shapes, great sense of light. The color transitions in the flowers are beautiful.

Creating a comic page by David Finch. 5, 6 and 3 panels.
Patrick Bosworth
These pages came out so good! The inking really elevates each of these, very well handled! Reminds me of a lot of some old underground comics. You have great sense of lighting and mood. I LOVE the Proko Research Lab sign! Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing more!!

I did the exercises suggested in the first lesson on panel composition and finished them completely. I didn't know there was a subsequent lesson on planning with those same scripts. So I've done the sketches my way, without following the "Assignment - Reduced Size Layout" lesson. I did them in a small notebook because I was away from home with my mother who was hospitalized. But after the "reduced size layout" lesson, I realized that planning them in detail is the best way to do them much better, considering the order, cleanliness, efficiency, and time saved. Explanation of the attached images: In the sketch of the robbery scene, I didn't bother framing it; I had a separate outline of how the panels would go and just focused on the idea. I also followed David's suggestion. Later, I made two more sketched proposals with pencil and marker. In the last one, which I didn't get to complete in a big way, I deliberately broke the rules of panel composition to see if something could be done with that composition. As I said, I never got around to it. In the laboratory scene with the mad scientist, I decided on a fish-eye overhead view. Proko's poster subtly includes Skelly. In the three-panel parking lot scene, I was clear that the last panel should be like an explosion after a tense calm. The first two are a close-up of the character, and my intention was to convey a sense of being cornered. Given the three-panel limitation, the shooting and hiding actions had to be in the same panel. In the final versions, there were significant changes. I'm learning a lot from this course.

These are really excellent reduced-size layouts! Great expressions, and character staging. I really like your shot variety, and use of warped perspective in the explorations! This is really solid, looking forward to seeing the full-sized pages!!

Nice work! I love the personality you've injected into this, the googly eyes and the extra round abdomen really takes the spider design from creepy-crawly to adorable. Reminds me of Lucas the Spider! Keep up the good work!
@piba
