Hej @Love Byström , najs teckning! Hi @Love Byström, nice drawing! - One approach to rendering the figure, that could help with keeping the shading clean, is to first map out the shadow, and create a CLEAR shape, that's enclosed. It will force you to be very decisive about what's in light and what's in shadow, which helps when trying to create a clear read. (And if you follow the formula: soft edge for shadow edge that's a transition from light to shadow on a form, and hard edge for cast shadows and end of form in shadow, you'll have to be decisive about communicating the form). Since all your design choises are made in this lay-in, you could fill in the shape when the model takes a break. - Related to shading the figure, you might appreciate practicing value studies.  If you're interested, check out this video How to Organize Values (you can get it for free in the Proko Course Sampler ). I found working with 5 values difficult at first, so I started with practicing 2-value studies, then moving to 3, then 4, then 5. For the 2 value studies, I still used the same approach of finding the extremes, then judging a value against those, to discern what group it belonged to. (I attached a paintover of Proko user Tony Vu's work.) If you find it hard to control the value itself, it could be useful to do a value scale, with the drawing tool you intend to use. Draw five squares, and mark them 1 to 5. 1 is the white of the paper. 5 is as dark as you can go with the material. Start by filling in square 5. Get to know the material; apply strokes in different directions, build up the tone from light to darkest, feel where the tip of the tool is touching the paper. Make the tone as even as you can. Then do the same with square 3. The value should be inbetween the strength of 1 & 5. Then you do #2, which should be inbetween 1&3 in strength, then #4, which should be inbetween 3&5 in strength. I hope this helps :) PS. first attached image is a paintover of Proko user silentmoonss work.

I don't think you're bad at drawing people! Your poses seem very grounded and expressive to me. You can tell you've put a lot of time and study into your work and lots of us would be happy to get where you are.

👊

hey , how was the whole experience ? what was your progress in the end ? i am going to buy this course so wanted to know if this gonna lead me with satisfaction and worthy payment !
