The lessons aren't setup like the ones you showed above. They teach fundamentals not just the figure or portraiture. If you want help with that then you should check out Stan's Figure Fundamental course and our Head construction course taught by Michael Hampton.
First Pear, I would like to give you a little context of me, My name is Mangesh and I am 23 from Maharashtra, India. I am a final year student of Fine Arts in Painting from the Government College of Art and Design, Nagpur which is a 4 year degree program. The reason I am joining the Drawing Basics course is that the Graduation program I am in is very poorly designed and primarily focuses on abstract painting which they call creative painting. The problem with that is that the majority of the class consists of students like me who lack even the basic drawing skills, fundamentals and know hardly anything about colors and materials and are expected to create their own forms and style right from the beginning. Although the theoretical part was very helpful and gave great insight into Indian and western art and art philosophy the practical curriculum was non existent and had no structure. Long story short I have already wasted 3 years of my life and will be graduated in 2 semesters but have no skills to show for it and this is my attempt at achieving what I expected to achieve from this degree. Also I prepared for my entrance exam for this degree watching proko and am following him before this website (Proko 2.0) existed and I really appreciate the work he and his team is doing for the betterment of art in this Digital Age. Thank you!
I really like the way that you can clearly see the reflected light in the shadow area in your drawing, and how it isn’t too light (common mistake)
remember to focus on separating the lights and the darks. Like you can see on the photo I attached the pear has a separation between what is in light and what is in dark, and it seems that you have put a too dark shade in the area where it should only be the light values
Plss give me some critiques, im
17 year old and i dream of becoming an animator. Thats
Very gestural! The quad might be a but boring shape, I think that you could make it more interesting to match the rest
Can i do this course completely in pen and ink. i come from courses/books like alphonso dunn and drawabox who advise to use ink.
I also dislike working with pencil, it reminds me of my school time and i feel its messy.
There is no color change in ink, so it is difficult to understand the bright and dark sides. I think we can try to express the relationship between light and dark in other ways. Proko said that the most important thing is to draw every day, so move, come on.
Here I go, all these years I have struggled to be consistent with my practice, hopefully this attempt will go smoothly. I will take it slow this time.
Just following the free stuff for now
Actually, your linework looks super beautiful. With my amature-knowledge, I'd say it looks like you're an advanced drawer. Soft, smooth lines and also how you blocked in the shading.
I have had many inconsistent and therefore failed attempts to start drawing throughout my life. So here I am now, making another attempt and hoping that I will be consistent and patient this time and at some point start to like what I am drawing.
THANK YOU PROKO, for teaching me about lines and how to confidently sketch. It has never been this fun or easy to just sketch, I struggled with starting a sketch before, often restarting because it came out all wrong. I have not failed a single sketch since learning about lines in the beginners course. Thank you
It’s my first time drawing i didn’t draw much in my childhood now im 19 , i know i did pretty bad 😅
Don`t sell yourself short! This is not bad at all, Seems like you understood the assignement just fine! Keep going at it and be positive about your work, it only goes up from here :)
