They are good. A lot of personality. Maybe make your darks a bit darker.

Great drawings. I try to fill a sketch book every month, depending on the size of sketch book. I find it very useful.

I like your drawings. Especially the flower and the man. A lot of atmosphere. I wouldn’t worry about what materials you use. Just use what you feel comfortable using.

Hello. Any one willing to provide feedback would be greatly appreciated. The first sketch is a screenshot of Marshal I captured from the podcast. The second is from a photo of Skip James. Both were drawn with a Derwent Graphic 6B and a kneaded eraser to bring out some of the highlights.

Hi Philip, congrats on your first attempt, getting stuck in, with hands on clay time is the way to progress and have fun too -I love sculpting :) The head has a reputation for being the hardest thing to tackle, but it's a worthwhile pursuit. To my eye this head looks a bit narrow, it could use a bit more bulk at the back/sides of the cranium, this will help bring those ears out, which should be visible looking a front view. How are you getting on, have you made another? If you have enough clay I would suggest starting a new head sculpt, then you can compare the 2nd side by side to the first and see how much you've improved. I'm rusty with water based clay but a little tip would be not to fight the clay, it has a pace, soft and quick for the initial build up then as it dries a bit the finer detailing can come in. If it's the air dry style packets (such as DAS brand) they have a shorter working time and in my opinion feel quite different to say a bag of pottery (modelling clay), I also think they're more prone to cracking. Keep going and try all the clay types over time.... they all have the own quirks, you'll find one you like.

Hi TeaMonster. Thank you so much for the feedback. I agree the head does look narrow. I drawings of heads often look too narrow as well. I have made another yet. I bought some Chavant plasteline, which arrived today. I will have a go of that over the weekend. Thanks again.

Hello This is my first attempt at sculpting the head. It would be great to have feedback on proportions. I used air dry clay. I think I’ll use oil based clay next time, as I got dust everywhere.

Apologies if this made you spit out whatever you were eating at the moment. I am wondering what I could do to fix the lighting?

It’s great. It has a gross body horror vibe.

Hello this project took me a month to come up with. It’s an underwater gollum protecting the honor of a jelly fish lasso from those helpless romantic humans. Something is off with the final painting, but I don’t know exactly what? Any criticism is welcome.

I really like. It’s got a classic vintage look. Maybe it is the composition that is off. When I first looked at the picture, it was difficult to understand what is happening. Perhaps do something to differentiate between the different objects in the picture. Great work. Keep on doing this kind of genre.

My favourite is the man with the black hair and moustache. Nice clean lines. Well done!

I really like it. The viewer angle gives an immersive feel. I like the creature design and colouring as well. I would say the figures look a little stiff. All the characters are looking up at the mounted figure, with their weapons raised. This would normally cause the torso to bend back and bend to the side. The torsos of your figures look too straight. I have attached a photo that hopefully illustrates what I am talking about. Also, the photo you have taken is a bit low resolution. It’s a bit difficult to see the details. Great work! Keep on making these kind of fantasy scenes.

I’m a beginner, so don’t take my advice as gospel. I think you should spend most of your time doing what you enjoy and do the other things on the side. For example, do landscapes 80% and figure 20% of the time.

Heres my first attempt. How long should I practice before going to the next lesson? Should I only do one lesson per week?

I would like to know the answer to this question to. I’ve watched the first two videos of gesture so far. I’ve probably done about 30 gesture drawings so far. I’m not sure when to move on.

The trees definitely look like they are receding more into the background now. Well done!

Hello everyone! I am currently doing this illustration piece of a mushroom girl. I am not really happy with the background. It somehow looks flat and boring. It would mean a lot if you guys helped me out with it! Thank you

Hi. Great picture! i think the issue maybe the lack of dimentionality of the trees. I watched a YouTube video once that explained how to draw trees quite well. Unfortunately, I can’t find the video, but I do still have the final image the artist made of the tree. At the moment, your trees appear to be going straight up. There is no sense of the trees moving in and out of the picture. In the picture I have attached, you can see how the tree appears to recede back into the picture plane.

Hello. I started drawing again, after about a 20 year hiatus. I decided 4 months ago to start right at the beginning fundamentals. I’ve been filling a sketch book every month. This is a sketch of a cottage I spent my holidays in. It seemed to be going well until I started applying shading to the drawing. I can’t place my finger on what is wrong with it. Any advice would be great.
