added comment inChapter 1b - Complementary Palette (Continued)
This was crazy to follow, I have no knowledge of colours besides a bit of "this one goes well with this one". Marco flits between brushes and keeps painting as they are talking and I was like Eh what He did something there AHHH what's going on?!?!
Eventually and repeatedly I learnt about the neutrality of the colours and values of the colours and how important that can be. (Still not 100% making sense of it) and Complementary colours.
I think it will be more helpful now to see where the value of colours I pick are and also work from a much more Neutral environment instead of diving into "THIS one will be Yellow (Completely saturated) or this one will be Purple (Completely Saturated)"
I will need some time to process it all. Goodness me. Fun, but very much all over the place this was. Brain = melted.

I started with #15 having no idea what I was doing just following the course. My brain is constantly like "Project, Get straight line, Don't scratch, Make nice" It's bloody exhausting!!!! Anyway...
Continued with 16, 17 I felt the angle was off and it box could have been rotated more to the left and down. I kept going through 18 and 19 (19's xray was terrible but post it anyway)
On a new day, I did 14 10 and 9. 10 could have rotated slightly more to the right? and evened out more.
It was fun and challenging.

I think you're right with your analysis of #10, I would bump it over to the right a bit. With #17 I think it could be tilted back actually, following the angle of his face there. Overall, really great job!

Ooo my cube's right angle wasn't right angle initially XD Still practicing those straight lines!

This was a lot of fun and hoping I got the idea of it!!! Please tell me if I might have gotten it wrong. Any suggestions are welcome.
I never understood the vanishing point up till now!!! Pretty cool!

Nice job! Looks like you're getting the hang of it, and this is a cool room design! Looks like the interior of a fallen castle. The lines on the left side of your room are starting to veer off, and don't converge at the vanishing point. You can see when you extend the floor board lines out they lose their target. Also try to avoid tangents with your perspective lines. The lines on top of table are running directly into the lines of the floor boards which kills the depth of the scene and makes the table visually become part of the floor. Adding a few extra lines to the table, following the same perspective lines, will help separate them from the perspective lines in the floorboards. Something to be aware of moving forward! Keep up the good work!

Having a intensely tough time with this. Will do more after watching the demo.
I think you did a great job! Especially no 20, well done capturing the weight and proportions of the pose, looks amazing!
One thing that might help would be trying to draw more sweeping lines (like you did in the back of pose 03). For example, the lines in pose 18 (especially the right-side shoulder) could be done in a more fluid motion. While doing gesture, don't be afraid to overlap lines and "overshoot".
Keep at it!

Hi Stan,
The course is brilliant and it helps. I often feel I am simply not pouring enough time into it!
I am honestly struggling to feel like I am making progress with it all, the dynamic shapes part was difficult and now this hah. Lets keep going.
Things are tough when you're a slow learning and have to rewatch things constantly. Just writing this for those out there that might seem discouraged. Just keep going! Even if you feel you're not really getting it or making progress! Keep going. <3 (Neuro spicy ftw)
I agree with you, just keep going! :D I had to watch the demos a few times and even draw along to under stan decisions and his arm movements. It really helps and it allows me to study before doing it on my own. I don't see any shame doing this because this is part of the process of practicing. This was a very nice and thoughtful message. :)
Aaaaah neurodivergent here also! It is honestly very very hard for me. I have to rewatch all the time, read the notes again and draw again. Usually I learn a lot (I can see that when I watch my work a couple of weeks later) but in the moment itself it feels like I am not making any progress at all. I understand now I have to practice all subjects a LOT. But it’s difficult, I feel you. It’s not the course tho, the course is great

I only started to understand the concept of pushing a shape in a direction after watching the demo, instead of trying to repeat what I am seeing.
Focusing on the gesture of the image and where the weight and direction of the piece should move to.

This took me about 2 hours and a lot of focus to find plum lines and proportions correctly and use the relational techniques to get the picture drawn.
I found this rather intensive and difficult to follow. I was so focused on getting the hang of the plum lines vertically and horizontally and creating relational proportions withing the image.
It was a fun and challenging lesson this one!
I will evaluate my work by watching the critique later on.

Lol I've been watching this lesson for 4th\5th time now just to make sure and feel I understand everything he is talking about. It feel it's all so friggin important.
