This assignment is so much fun! Also using translucent paper to try things out without redrawing the entire image from scratch is such an awesome idea.
Curiously, it seems that in Australia the word 'vellum' is not in much use. The only 'vellum' I found in Sydney was an old pack of absolutely gorgeous Arches drawing paper. I wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't looking for 'vellum' 😉

I am so impressed!
Awesome! Thats one cute cat there ❤️ I’m wondering if the illusion is in part due to isometric perspective. Would the same illusion be created if we used the regular perspective we know where lines receding converge to a VP? 🤔

Thank you Stan for addressing my question! It was super helpful to see the exact tools you used in Photoshop to clean up my photo. No more excuses for posting murky images 😉

I wonder what is a good setup to take clean pictures that doesn't take too much space.
I have purchased a decent camera recently, but it is still challenging to produce good images given that my 'studio' consists of a coffee table and a sofa 🤔 I am normally too busy with work during daytime when the natural light is perfect for taking pictures 😩

Two days ago, I bought woodless graphite pencils. I wanted to try these types of pencils for the first time. I guess these are for sketching instead of rendering. lol

This is incredibly insightful, I would never think of perspective when looking at an artwork like this. So beautiful also, what a brilliant choice!

First assignment in this course for me. Really appreciate the lengthy explanations and many examples that are easy to follow along!

I think I have somewhat improved at drawing faces, but most importantly I see after going through this course that I need to learn more technical skills, like constructing the planes of the face and improving my approach to shading.
Wow, this looks pretty good. I love her eyes. Art needs practice the more we do the better we get. I am also struggling with this concept as well. Hopefully I'll get better with practice.
Keep up the good work
Nicely done!
You should join us in the daily drawing with timer thread to keep practicing the concepts from this course:
https://www.proko.com/community/topics/daily-drawing-with-timer-challenge
I've been doing regular practice since I finished this course eight months ago and it's made a big difference.
Some of us do zoom calls where we practice figure drawing and portrait drawing. Let me know if you're interested those and I can let you know the times we meet.

I understand how having some sort of scaffolding helps with drawing portraits, but when I try to fit a real person into a Loomis head, every time I feel like I am cheating. Maybe I should have done imaginary heads in this section, but I don't have enough experience to draw heads from imagination.
As Glenn Vilppu says: "No rules--only tools."
You can't cheat if there are no rules, so horde these drawing tools with abandon!
Very nice drawing here. I'm looking forward to seeing your continued progress.

I have realised that I was struggling with these heads because I misunderstood the construction of orthogonal slices on the sphere. I used up half a sketchbook trying to understand why my construction lines don't meet 🤦🏼♀️
I so much look forward to the new perspective course!
