Do you use tubes? Do you squeeze them into the tins?

I'm still working my way through this course and I love it!!! This is a self portrait I have completed using the Loomis method. A lot more progress to be made, but this gives me the incentive to continue practicing and developing. Thanks Stan! :-)

Got them done, became more accurate over time.

Line master studies: does this look ok? Asking a friend

The drawing of the boots is my first attempt without watching the demo first

Is this for computer art? I am a traditional painter. Thank you.

So... much... inking! I found this project really relaxing. It's been a long time since I've worked on inking so I appreciated the chance to just put a bunch of lines down. This lesson really taught me the value of tapered strokes, since I've always struggled to join my lines together especially with inking brushes like the one I used for this assignment. I did the hierarchy version first, then the shadow version. I increased my brush size for the shadow version and it really shows. I was really happy with the hierarchy version when I completed it, but I much prefer the shadow version now that I can see them both side-by-side. One thing I really struggled with for the shadow version: what do you do when a line represents an edge between a really bright area and a really dark one?

2023/1/8. Good morning everybody. Here’s my latest study about contrapposto. Since the focal point is the butt I post it here (source: “The Anatomy of Style” by @Patrick Jones). Thanks for any comment or advice.

Playing around with my new tools: 1st assignment done :)

I hoard art supplies more than use them. Hoping to turn that around with this class and a daily habit of having fun while making art. This was relaxing and enjoyable, which I need to remind myself art as a hobby is supposed to be. Looking forward to the basics course!
