Asked for help
I find it hard to motivate myself to do these studies ... I guess because they don't challenge creativity.

I know. I am also not keen. However, I am trying to come up with my own compositions of my own drawings and checking if I can match it with a master that inspires me with the values. But I feel I spent too much time finding the right ones ... and that on top of everything else going on in the tourism high season, I am a parttime artist but the months december to march always are very minimal artist...

I always do this exercise before drawing. I started noticing I can use ellipses to draw UFOs or UAPs. So I warmed up by drawing them abduct mushrooms lol.

Thirty... one minutes? Well, that is if you don't consider the thumbnail sketches I did the previous day cause the way I wanted to do the sketch was... not easy to do on a whim. Even then, some of the last second effects took it over the time limit. I thought I could do better, faster, but that was kinda over-ambitious and this is how far I could go.
I agree. But your thumbnails are warm-ups for your idea. I also checked out the models with quick gestures to get a better feel for them and as warm up.

Happy Holidays to everybody. I have not been posting much, but I managed to see all the sketchbook tours and loved them. I decided to practice gesture and warm up with the timer tool at 1 and 2 minutes only and all 20 of the photos. But oh dear. Sometimes I got so into one figure that I needed time to readjust to the next pose... losing valuable seconds. But I enjoyed myself. I wanted to have a feel for all the models to find out which ones would make interesting characters, elves.
Sorry for the bad quality of the one to two minute sketches. It keeps on raining and being very dark. I changed to pen drawing to assist.
I did better with the 6 chosen models. The sketches of the figures took roughly 5 minutes. Some got a bit more time, but none more than 10 minutes. Made the composition on a paper that fitted my scanner for better quality. I gave them holiday-themed underwear and elven-ears...
Composition of 6... anyway, they are looking down from whatever high point they are, exhausted, one still sprinkling merriment, stars and some snow... Thinking time around it, 15 minutes, colour 5 minutes...

Thank you for sharing that. I need to bind my drawings together to form the books they were intended to be. Disadvantage of drawing on loose papers.

Trying to catch up. "Log Cabin", "Musical Instrument" and "Backpack".
Maybe I can try and catch up... given that you just submitted week 1. I have been busy at work and behind on the course but keeping them simple who knows.

Excuse me Mr. Teacher .. didn't you tell us to make it in 3 point perspective? Also ... why do I feel like the proportions of your boxes are a bit ... wonky? ^^
Definitely harder in 3 point perspective. I was trying but ended up doing mostly 2 point...
