Level 1. I tried to find shapes and make different designs for them. But I couldn't do it. I probably should have simplified everything more.

I drew the rhino digitally because I don't have a printer. However, I had a lot of fun drawing the rhino.

A Level 2 assignment is a challenge for me, and then the added imagination component made it even more so. In any case, I came up with a rock star prairie dog. A good exercise for me to stretch.

Hey Anubhav! I think you have a cool concept for a poster! My only concern is that the lettering, especially the "The Bad Art Club" section, can get lost with everything going on behind it. The "Venue - Greenr Gk" part seems more legible due to the higher contrast of the bright green, so perhaps a solution would be to make the entirety of the text this high contrast -- you can also make the Bad Art Club title larger to draw more attention to it first. Another solution would be making the paint swirl underneath the text a solid color that would bring more contrast and clarity to the text. You could also experiment with the positioning of the seascape elements around the canvas to compete less with the text as well -- a more drastic change would be to leave the canvas simpler and instead add the decorative elements to the background outside of the canvas, like in the reference examples. I hope these ideas are helpful. However you approach it, I think the main thing to keep in mind is that with a poster like this, the main purpose is to communicate specific information, so you want to make sure everything reinforces that communication.

Hey Dennis! Great work, I see a lot of progress in your art! For some feedback on these pieces: - Values: I notice some attention spent on the separation of foreground, midground, and background, which is great. Just keep checking your values in greyscale so they still read clearly as values alone. I think with the last one especially the greys get pretty close to each other so the value clarity is lost a bit, so just double checking it and pushing the value distinction as a result can help. - Focal point: I also notice that you've put smaller/sharper details in the foreground and broader strokes in the background, which is good to draw the attention to the foreground. You do also want to be careful with other potential distractions from this though, such as texture and contrast. The digital brushes used, especially in paintings #1 and #3, add the same level of texture to the foreground as to the background, making their distinction less clear. It's best to pick only a key places to really emphasize texture instead, especially where you want to draw the eye. As for contrast, you also want to pick the area to use the highest amount of contrast, and areas where less contrast is used. For example, in painting #2, it seems like the foreground was given more contrast deliberately with the sharper brush, detail, and value contrast, but the background is also competing due to the sharp value contrast of the mountain and white cloud. Bringing the background's values closer together could bring back the attention to the foreground, I hope this is helpful, let me know if you have any questions!

Here is my first attempt. I would love some feedback

Just found a comfortable sensitivity for my stylus on Procreate so I figured I’d try this warmup digitally. It was a very humbling experience.

First Proko Project (wohoo!) Getting the values to look good was more challenging than I thought since it’s been a while but I think it turned out ok. My value scale was 2H,HB, 2B, and 4B.
