What do you look for when choosing a subject to paint?
Yume Jensen
How do you decide where you want to blend colors and where you want to keep the brush stroke more pronounced? I love the rougher/ expressive look for paintings but never know when to stop refining.
Yume Jensen
Do either of you have tips on how to take care of your hands/wrists and the rest of your body so that you don't get repetitive strain injuries?

Yeah. Move around more, do hand stretches and a wrist brace helps too.

Move your body, maybe ? And try not to sit around in one place for too long.

Do you have tips on how to practice getting smooth and expressive lines while sketching? For animation or illustration

I had a hard time with these assignments, so I plan to redraw these at some point. I tried to nail the proportions the best I could, but I think the spine is too long in most of them. I also want to get better at drawing lines more confidently; I was erasing and redoing lines a lot.

here are my exercises!! any tips ? :)

This exercise will be more useful if you push yourself to complete all the forms with the correct angles and neater lines. Right now some of your forms are a bit ambiguous, so it'll be hard to apply this into future drawings. I think you should try this again but with more boxes/ cylinders because right now it looks closer to an actual skeleton than a simplified version. It might help to practice drawing some boxes/ cylinders/ spheres by themselves from a few different angles - keeping in mind which lines will be parallel, which lines will converge, how it'll look when foreshortened, etc. I also need to practice this because these forms that I thought were "simple" have more nuance than I thought! Good luck!

The drawing I put an asterisk next to are copied from the demos and the rest are my solo attempts. Advice/ critiques are welcome!
