Hi everyone,
I did a portrait exercise using a model I have seen on a Stephen Bauman video on YouTube. I am not really satisfied. I really struggled with the proportion. It is definitely an aspect I need to work on. Amongst other things, eyes are not as I would like them to be.
I’d love getting your comments on this one.
I wish you all a wonderful day.

Hi,
Thanks for your kind comments. You are right indeed, the left eye is not looking where it should. With a bit more observation (patience may be), I could have seen it before posting 🙂

Hello everyone,
I am a bit a bit slow, so I did only one Master study so far. I chose a portrait by David Malan. I did it several times but, in my opinion, I am still not even close to the original.
Please give me your comments, it is always really helpful.
Cheers

Hi Creasofie,
Thanks for your comment, it is very much appreciated.
I totally agree with you, I absolutely need to practice that a lot. Varying the weight of my lines is key but also learning to vary it at the right moment while maintaining a smooth motion. At the moment, I feel that if I focus on weight, my gestures are becoming slow and my lines are getting shaky. Not easy.
Besides, if you don’t mind, I have a question. I’m working with graphite and getting dark areas really dark isn’t easy. How would you suggest improving that? Is it purely linked to my weight control or is it more a question of tool (Type of pencils used)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Fun but not necessarily easy for a beginner. I hope I did not do too bad. I have added 2 photos I found on Pexels. A fennec (photo by Magda Ehlers) and a Panda (Photo by Marko Ott). I Hope I’ll get some comments/advices.
In the meantime, I wish you all a great day and a lot of fun 😉

Hi,
Here is my proposition for this assignment.

Here are my 3 submissions for this project. Still a lot of room for improvement…
Funny enough, one of my biggest problem is to stay within the page… in other words, amongst other things, judging proportion is still very challenging for me.

Hello,
I have completed the two level one assignments but I realised afterward that I should have refrained adding some shadings on the boots… By the way, I did draw the pair of boots while I was outside, so I used what I had at the time… i.e. a note pad (it explains the printed lines 😁). I’ll try to carry a sketchbook from now on.

Hi,
Complete beginner here. I just started the Drawing Basics course and instead of the pear, I chose to draw guava that I had in the fridge :-)
It is far from being a piece of art but hey…. Everyone needs to begin somewhere, right?
All comments, advices are welcome.
Have a nice day!
