@Ahmed Aldoori Hi Ahmed 😊,
Is the course mostly geared towards portrait painting? Would I be able to apply the knowledge gained here on full figures/characters?
Thank you.

Hello!
Here's my HTB Worm assignment. It took longer than the recommended time, but I enjoyed the whole process so I took my time. Hopefully the values are where and how they should be.
Thank you @Dorian Iten!

Hey!
Here’s my crosshatching assignment. The first two pics are the block-in and my version of crosshatching - I should have kept it simple in hindsight.
On the third pic, I made the changes according to @Dorian Iten‘s correction. It better communicates light this way definitely 👍!
Thanks, Dorian 🙏😊!

Hello,
Here’s my light probes assignment. Pics 1 and 3 done on Procreate and 2 on Photoshop. @Dorian Iten, it was lots of fun and a nice opportunity to try out digitally on both - thanks.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Romain

Here's my shading creatures assignment. I was so much into it that I combined steps 3 and 4 in...step 3.

Hi @Patrick Jones, I am in the middle of studying shading, but I am still following your course and more particularly the video 'A world of enchantment', and I did the attached drawings - the vast majority of them from reference photos.
I am struggling with drawing features of the face on a full figure, especially from difficult angles and when the head is fairly small. Has it ever been a struggle to you? How did you go about drawing them better?
Thanking you in anticipation,
Best,
Romain

Hey there !
First off, this assignment really piqued my curiosity and the more I was going along with it the more interesting it got. I am happy with the final result.
The first pic is my reference which I started to ignore when it came to drawing the cast shadow - too much reflected light. This first drawing was made with 2H, HB and 2B graphite pencils. The values at the bottom are the ones I used for step 3 (value plan). Near the end, I darkened the background on the lighter side of the egg to make it pop out more.
I had a second crack at it with H, HB and 2B pierre noire pencils (last three pics) following the same process and ignoring the reflected light on the cast shadow from my reference. Charcoal is quite unforgiving if you go too dark too soon so it was like walking on...eggs.
Thanks @Dorian Iten for this assignment. Any critique/feedback would be much appreciated and I look forward to what lies ahead in this course.
