Hi Jorge! I enjoy the surreal aspects of the compositions. Are these 3D renders or photobashes? Also, are you searching for crit on individualized pieces or a wholistic evaluation?

The eyes are great and tell a story with its shadow-light contrast 🥺 My opinion is to emphasize halftones and gradients on your next study! The halftones could be more visible to reveal the subtle structures of the eye. You can check out "Anatomy for Sculptors" on ArtStation or any free anatomy book for the details.

Hi Eleftheria, your technique of translating the traditional graphite quality to digital is gorgeous.
For this critique I referenced Proko's original demo of this foot pose. The Lateral Malleolus (ankle bone) has a flat side plane which is rounded in your drawing. In the muscle/tendon design lecture he emphasized flatter, plane forms for tendons and bony landmarks. Exploring contrast/exaggeration between round shapes and flats could be interesting for a dynamic sculptural effect. For boxiness, remember that the gradient of the shadow is higher contrast between lights and darks to imply a sharp plane change.
These "painterly" digital brushes are free on Artstation: Aaron Griffin, Rutkowski, Craig Mullins (goodbrush), Satish Kumar
Best of luck!

Hi Karla! As an aspiring educator, I was wondering what your observations are on how art education is changing. Is the ability to educate achieved after years of industry experience or trained parallel (separately) to working in the industry? Is there a difference between working in an art institution vs. mentoring individually? Also, your puzzle analogy from the THU talk was eye opening and helped me develop as an artist.
