I'm gonna be honest... I really don't wanna do this 😭
Kendrice Little
Please do. I feel like the same way a lot of days but push past that apprehension and start the creative process. Trust yourself and trust the process..have a good day

You could try to break it up into steps. Start by focusing on completing step 1 first, get in all of your biggest shapes as accurately as you can, and then take a break! When you're ready, come back and start on step 2, etc! It can feel like a lot for sure! But like with anything in art, the more you do it, the quicker you will be at the process, and over time the more adept your eye will become. It's worth putting in the mileage on this one! Don't forget to have fun!

My first finished artpiece!!! I know the anatomy is a bit screwed up but I'm happy that at least I finisehd it. Now I can continue to fail faster and learn quicker!!

My circle practice. I also have been doing line warmups everyday

This was by far my most embarrasing project to be honest, and it has definitely made me realize that one of my biggest weaknesses is shape design. I did so poorly on this project. I felt as if all of my drawings were flat and boring. I definitely got better by the end but even my final drawings which were the kingfisher and hummingbird were pretty bad. I would really really appreciate any advice please. I really want to improve on this. Thank you!

These are all the references I found on my own.

My god that was difficult. I don't even know if I learned much but it was still fun in a way. This was my first master study and it's a process I definitely want to do more of. The artist I studied was Rene Gruau, he was a fashion illustration artist who was relatively influential. On reflection, some of my lines were definitely a bit too thick, and of course, some of the proportions were off too, but I didn't want to just trace over his drawing (though I did use the liquify tool a bit). I am EXTREMELY proud of the hand area though, along with the chest area. I feel like I got the idea down super well. I would love anymore critique.

Man this one was dificult even without having to draw the Rhino. It was good practice because I've always really liked really thick line weight and drastic line weight variation so I've wanted to incorporate it into my style in the future. But determining the line weight based off of the light was especially dificult. I think the final products turned out well though and I hope to improve my line quality a lot in the future. The left one is grouping important areas. I grouped the entire body and also seperated the head slight from the rest of the body. The right one is based on the lighting.

Man that was tougher than I remember, the connect the dots was especially poor. Need to practice

I have a question. Since this is a continuation of sketching, do I still have to structure the sketch with boxes and other shapes before using tapered lines?

No, just try to recreate the references to the best of your ability while remembering to use smooth strokes along with the CSI curves.

Alright, just finished all the sketches. The first one was the hand in digital but I felt as if it wasn't sketchy enough so I did it again with pencil on paper along with the other 2. My proportions for all the drawings were definitely off a little. I tried marking where the drawings would start and end but that didn't help that much. I'm very frustrated with the hand to be honest. Especially comparing myself with the other submissions I've seen I feel like I'm just missing something. Any advice would be appreciated.
Martha Muniz
Hi! I think you did a really nice job with this assignment. Yes, some proportions are off, but you were able to break things down and get some loose linework, which will help you as you correct and refine your drawings further down. I do think you could have captured more of the gestural energy for the VR girl, especially her lean towards the left, and some strokes jotting down the movement and connection of her arms/legs respectively would have helped. But for proportions, later assignments will help you train your eye for this, and you're doing pretty good already :)

That's amazing. Great line quality using the thicker lines on the outside and thinner inside. The perspective on the right shoe seems a bit off, and the laces don't exactly have that CSI character about them but the general drawing as a whole is great.
