That’ s true. Yeah. Could be. Thanks 👍
Hi Guys! Let me please share with you my recent artwork that I was pleasantly excited about. I am planning to post,,behind- the- content phase as well (will be found on my website), because that is, what is by my opinion, the most interesting part of creating any art.
This work has especially brought me to places where I felt being back in school. I have been studying both- construction, planning, executing ideas, designing and many other aspects of bringing this piece to life, but also the sensible art of decisions taking- or also not taking in our daily lives! How much is that influence by adjusting and going with nature. Therefore we need to adjust and find the balance.
There is no time to be wasted. And so why not put sensible incomes in our deeds/ art? That I think matters the most!
So this artwork is a compass 🧭 (a reminder). An orientation towards health. A sensible piece of following nature and adjusting to nature, instead of going against it.
As a compass this has arrows too, yet five. Instead of four! And this compass cannot be deflected by any magnet. It always changes and that never changes.
Showing us energy going up during the spring until it reaches the peak- summer- then it goes down to late summer and all animals start to collect food and prepare for autumn- arrows going to the center. And then winter comes. Self reflection moment, hibernation time.
This represents the daily cycle as well. Morning, noon, late noon, evening and night 😴
I hope it will inspire you.
🫡🙂

It is kind of temptation, you know… just to start up blender, and you have it accurate and fast!
So yeah! Why to spend whole morning? Days? And trying to figure it out, while we have no time already?!😲🤔
I wanted to know.
I wanted to understand.
So I took all what I knew and all your feedbacks I have got and together with a third- and maybe the most Important ingredient-
-patient- left to an another adventure!
To solve this business of a tilted perfect cube, drawn traditionally and free hand!
Let me share with you my notes from this adventure
and the same drawing, I made earlier in blender- but now- free hand👍🥳
This is a really cool idea! You can use ellipses to rotate this cube. If you can draw an ellipse and a cylinder in perspective, you can rotate any cube any how because the corners will always rotate along the ellipse. Lines of the cube will never enter the boundaries of the inner circle. This links to the ellipses/cylinders video for a refresh: https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-draw-cylinders-and-ellipses/comments
This drawing is made based on blender construction. 100% accurate and it took just a 4' 😮😲 which is great. But! It have not brought me more insight, yet!
The goal here, is to be able to do it without it!
And That’ s the whole point. It is a great tool. But I want to first understand. I am going to use this as a further study object.
And to find out, how to be able construct it as same accurate.
Ok. Let me share with you my recent artwork. An amazing experience that has come from studying a Chinese cultural and their approach to life through observing a nature that resulted in many of theirs tools.
One of them is their astrology- worth to study! Extremely interesting topic and study case! That can be useful in our lives. Well that is topic not for now-
what I have done, was turning this study Into an artwork.and where I started to sense problems, was- when I supposed to tilt a perfect cube in perspective that I made. Well! Not the difficult first part: one vanishing point stays the same. In this case- on demonstration below- what I mean.
Other sets of lines going to an opposite side on the horizon line is also not difficult to determine- just very simple- how much I want to have a new cube tilted. No problem.
But! What is going to happen with last set of lines? Those who are going down? Is it 45 degree? 52 degree? Where is that vp? In relationship to the rest of the vanishing points?
You may say- use 3d program. Yeah, sure! But for know- I want to understand. Is there any measuring method that can be applied? Thank you very much.
Hi. Let me share with you my recent drawing. This idea has started by the previous drawing. Where I was gonna fit a tree In. But how to design and draw tree to an extent, where I will be happy with? I had to admit. I do not know how to do it! I went on online discussion places, talked to other artists, especially you guys from here helped me and provides me feedback. but my curiosity attracted also people who love trees! Who spent their time with them and who were that kind to share with my their observation. All informations I started to gather and went to create my own tree. I was very fascinated about making some interesting shapes. A twisted trunk felt right to me. I have gathered my notes and studies I have done in my free time. I am doing it also for my own but for you guys too. To benefit from my effort as well. If you want to become closer to master drawing trees! I hope this will help you. But trees will teach you far more about drawing, than just knowing how to draw trees👍 I would like to say- enjoy. Let me please know if you have any questions, remarks, or feedback. Thank you. Have a great day.

Based on your feedbacks. I upgraded it. I Made several different attempts, spent hours on them and many of them re- painted. And threw away:P And ended up here. What is your honest feedback?!🙏🤔💪 thank you
Hey Tom! I like what you have going on here! What immediately jumps out to me is the value of the foreground, middle ground, and background are all very close together which flattens the distance you're creating in the composition. If you squint down the Tree seems to float in the center because it's the darkest element, but the surrounding elements all kind of fuse together without much separation. Pushing the values of the foreground, midground, and background further apart will exaggerate the atmospheric perspective you're creating and connect the tree to the foreground a bit. Desaturating your painting and looking only at the values helps diagnose where you can separate your values further! Hope this helps, keep up the good work!
Hey. Coool! Love your contribution to my work. Thanks a lot. Yes. When taking a step behind and some distance from my work I start to understand together with your feedback. I have edited it already. Hoping it is nicer to look at. And more correct. Yet to be honest, i am not happy with lines. Its too cartoony, less artistic, less expressive. I have some serious understanding of perspective there going on, form- a drawing part. I feel there in my own water. But adding colours, rendering and keep it expressive with rough brush strokes, and still be able to communicate elements of the scene like stones bushes, i find myself in unknown waters... what to do about it? I just feel like I keep doing the same things over and over again expecting different outcome. Thank you so much!
Hi guys! I need your help. Feedback and critique. I believe that any kind of help will help me. I got stuck in this phase of my drawing/ painting. Something is missing. Yet I cannot put a finger on it. What would you change? Add?
Thank you very much
