These lessons really made me realize how, even tho I see so much art in a day, I truly see very little from it. Maybe limiting the amount of art I look at would help with having my mind focus on it properly, but that might be more of a social media usage personal problem. All in all I shall try to keep in mind the phrase "dessert later".

After looking at my library of saved artworks from my favourite artists, I found that the most commonly used techniques tend to be overlap and atmosphere. There doesn't seem to be as much usage of convergent lines in the art I've been looking at, and I think it might be because I generally prefer to look at more "organic" stuff, which doesn't usually have as many parallel lines as the more "technical" looking stuff. Foreshortening isn't used as much either, and I think that it's because it's more difficult to get right, but when it is done correctly, it's super good at making your art look more realistic since, in reality, most things won't appear to you in the simple front or side view.

Something I've noticed I have a lot of trouble with is that even though I know these types of basic exercises are important I always try to speed it up to get it over with because it feels like there is no end goal and I'm impatient to start creating. Then once I start trying to get that picture in my head onto a piece of paper I realise I lack the basic skills to be able to do so and so I always end up stuck in this cycle. I'm going to try to stick with the exercises and hopefully, I will be patient enough this time round.

I know I'm turning in my Isometric Assignment a bit late to get Critiqued. But I honestly highly enjoyed messing around with my perspective viewpoints on this one using my lovely art tools today. I would love some Critique on it and how I can improve using my tools to create more fun stylized drawings. Got any advice Marshall or any fellow art students can give me pointers. I am gladly all ears and willing to listen and experiment further down.

Really helped me understand how colours go together. I made this painting right after watching this video, inspired by the green monster. If anyone has any critiques or advice please say.

hello loish! i am a big fan of your works, and look up to you like an idol. Your art really inspires me to create when i feel demotivated. I was wondering what educational books you’d recommend, like what books did you read as a student that really helped you. If not books, any art resources. And what you think really influenced your style.
