As someone who strives to become a graphic novelist, I want to be able to draw scenes in different angles and in a more dynamic perspective. I’d like my shots to not just be technical but interesting. For example, if I were to draw a scene in a wizards cave, I’d like to be able to draw the potions the things on the shelves, the rocks in a way where I can view it from different angles and it looks consistent. i’d really love to learn how to draw my characters in more interesting shots as well. I’d love to understand planes better and how lighting hits certain areas but not others. I’d also like to learn how to draw in reflective areas such as objects in a mirror. I always feel frustrated trying to understand the technical reasons of perspective and I feel once I figure it out I can be more confident in my freestyle perspective. Here are some artists and their artwork I enjoy for both their technical applications, their use of dimension, and how dynamic it all looks. first artist is Ryo Wambe from Japan. He usually works digitally. I think his technical ability is great but his understanding of depth and his environment and his interesting shots is an inspiration. Second artist is Charles Dalmau. Their art is Amazing! Very dynamic and interesting to look at. Out of all the artist I’d like to be the most like them. I don’t know the name of the last artist but beautiful natural scenery that I’d like to try and understand in a technical way

Great line weight variation!

Not as happy with this one. I think I’ll do digital next because I have a hard time not smudging and my pencils aren’t very good

I actually love the non-smudged look! So clean, let’s you truly see the hand of the draftsman.

This is a very nice, very clean drawing.

Here’s my second attempt on the face, first attempt watching the demo. I’ll probably try one more time before I move on. My thumbnails are a little sloppy haha but I’m hoping that’s the point 😅

I hate to criticize you so I’ll start with what I like.i think your fruit drawing is a nice starting point. From here you should add those dimensions like it says in the video. Some tips I’d give, maybe a bit cheating, but how about taking a pic of your fruit, turning it black and white and if you can turn up the saturation. Don’t forget what he told us to do in the video. You need to block out those values. Start with the dark value first and go from there. Also when I did mine, what really helped was squinting my eyes and focusing on the shades of value rather than any outline. Keep going! You got this. We all begin somewhere! Imagine when you look back at this and see how far you’ve come! I’m only an amateur giving advice but I hope that helped a little. Remember to do the 5 values. Because from what I can see it seems like you aren’t following the point of the assignment which isn’t outline but value

This was my first attempt alone w/o demo and I tried using just the 5 gradients but ngl It’s more accurate to say I did six
