learning perspective by watching Pokemon
Hello Guys!
how you're doing?
I hope you're well
So I was casually watching a pokemon anime, with no intention in mind, when all of the sudden I stopped in a screenshot that I found very interesting, so interesting that I decided to make a drawing to learn more about perspective and composition.
I took a print of the image I wanted (image 1) and started guessing how am I going to setup this scene, but luckily I got some clues, by the way the camera was placed by stablishing some guidelines around the environment (image 2).
Later I placed all the characters to fit inside a box(image 3), this technique I learned by studying the content of Tenten and Krenz Cushart, after doing that and being satisfied by the result now it's time to do the shading (image 4), to accentuate more the characters, and later on I decided to expand the width of my box (image 5), so that the scene becomes more wider.
it wasn't really my intention to do the background, but in the end I decided to do it anyway in order to give more depth to the scene, and this is how I finished (image 6).
I hope you guys enjoy it!
and Happy Hollidays to yall folks! ;)

Rebooting my art learing journey - feedback appreciated
By Geert-Jan
So i've been practicing drawing (almost) daily for the last 2 years or so. But I lack focus and structure. After listening to the draftmen podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od1xbX2ESP8). I've decided to bring in more structure. The podcast mentions this Redit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/learnart/comments/dapk62/from_the_guy_who_made_the_most_comprehensive_list/) with a full curriculum. My challenge will be to follow this curriculum as close as possible.
I've created this topic mostly to keep myself accountable. But i will post created work regulary, and any feedback/ critique from you guys is greatly appreciated!
Some personal info:
-39 years old
-fulltime job outside art
-On average i have 1 hour each day to practise (a bit more in the weekends)
-Not a native English speaker, so please forgive me the grammar and spelling mistakes :)
The first unit is figure drawing. I've already followed Stan's figure drawing course before, so im revisiting the course. Here are some 2 minute and 30 second gesture drawings (drawn in Procreate). Please let me know what you think of them.

Learning/Drawing with a injury
By Darin
I have been taking the drawing fundamentals course and started the new perspective course. I am a beginner, just learning to draw for myself. Last week I ruptured the tendon in my bicep of my drawing arm (rock climbing, not drawing). This week I had surgery to repair it. My arm is probably going to be out of commission for a couple of months.
I can just pause everything and pick it up again once I am able to. I could keep watching the videos, but leaving the projects till later. Maybe I could try drawing with my left hand (sort of kidding, sort of not). Any advice on what to do with my courses until I am able to draw again? Has anyone else had to learn or practice drawing without being able to use their arm? Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

Why do you want to learn how to draw?
Hello everyone!
Fellow drawing basics student here.
The question of this post is in the title - “Why do you want to learn how to draw?” I’m curious to discover what kind of reasons people might have.
You can be as concise or as detailed as you want.
Looking forward to your responses!

Question about master line studies
By @shrimp_fry
So I am following the drawing basic courses and in the master line studies project I am a bit confused. Should I use what I learned before S, C and l lines to draw the basic shape in and then add the line weight or should I try to draw with the same line weight from the get go

This drawing lacking something #2
By Tom Romaniuk
I took the previous feedbacks that I have received from you. Thank you very much for them, that was very very helpful. Thank you!
I spent days with sketching. Understanding the form. Which has improved I must say, but. It is not yet my second nature. So it is not going that fast, when draw. Yet I try to be loose, slow, and enjoy drawing.
well. I took again a tree here. Because I love to draw them. So much to learn from them as well. And I have ended up with lineart, that I was quitte happy.
But! Somehow colours made it less attractive and it was obvious a part, where I struggled with and started to loose patience and confidence.
I would like to ask you for your feedback. Tips, do you recognise this problem too?
Anything that crosses your mind.
Thank you very much!
cheers, Tom.

Gesture Drawings 1
By @davidsss
Hi everyone, this is my first post here in the community.
I would like to make a habit of showing my practices and final pieces on the internet so thought that starting here was a great idea.
These are some timed practice exercises that I wanted to share with you. The aim was capturing the gesture, so any tips regarding this specific topic would be apreciated. Thanks.

Practicing Perspective
I did a simple construction of PS4 Controller last weekend, at first on top left I did not put center line into my ellipses so a lot of things goes wrong, on the right one, I try to place things better and observe the object more, on the bottom one I try to draw it in a different angle through imagination.
Any critics or feedback to help improve in this subject?

Tree drawing #2 improved?
By Tom Romaniuk
A few days ago I have posted here my tree drawing where I was really nicely surprised by so many feedbacks I have received. I have been reading them over and over again. While I started to study more about twisted forms, trees and contours already.
That made it possible for me to draw this tree.
Am I completely satisfied with a result?
No😑😆
It became pretty obvious that my weakness is gesture. And I think, I have not managed to move even an inch there.
What do you think?
I will be very happy for any critique/ feedback
Thank you very much

First time really trying to do folds in clothing. Tried to simplify the face, but it looks a little wonky.

This drawing is lacking something…
By Tom Romaniuk
I have collected my knowledge of practicing fundamentals and blew it into this piece. A tree. I am not 100% satisfied with it. I cannot put a finger on it. But something is missing there. What do you guys think? Thanks

Can’ t get this right- twist!
By Tom Romaniuk
Ok. I have been finding a way how to have a control over a form- let’s say a tube that you twist around.
https://ibb.co/dLGSjbc
It is not that difficult when it stays straight.
Front plane become side plane
Side plane become a back
Back plane become the other side
And so on…
But what is going to happen if the form is changing the direction?
Like that?
How to connect it?🤔
That is so fat I have got.
