My favorite room. Last year, my wife and I moved into our condo. The property came with a basement unit which I converted into a hobby room. It is the first time I have had a dedicated space for art. I did this as a graphite sketch last week on 14ʺX17ʺ. However, I was having difficulty getting that version to look presentable on the computer. The cause may have been a combination of poor lighting and poor camera quality on the part of my cellphone. Eventually, I decided that I would rather just trace over the whole thing with digital pencil on another layer and then discard the photograph. I added some values so that it wouldn't look as out of place next to Gaby's wonderful submissions. I am confident this sketch captures the essential feeling of the space, but comparing it to the actual room, there are indeed proportional errors. Additionally, there are objects and features I altogether forgot existed until I was through with the sketch. Or more commonly, I misremembered the exact shape of the objects I did draw.

I realise there are a lot of issues in these first 2 attempts (feedback welcome) but can I just say how much this has opened my eyes. I’ve been a professional designer of one sort or another for 10 years now and have relied on photoshop/ references or using visualisers for everything - I’ve never really understood how to get into drawing from imagination. You’ve just opened a massive door for me @stevenzapata and I can’t thank you enough. The way you explain stuff has got me out of my head and made me attempt something i didn’t know I could do. Thank you!

Hello! This is great work. Just wondering if that boob is acting a bit strange. Might be good to do a page of boobs to try and get the gravity right on them? Good luck!

This is amazing work! I just got into this pose and found that I kind of wanted to roll my shoulders back and stack my head over my pelvis just to be able to balance. If she's cutting through something and applying pressure on the sword then it makes sense for her shoulders to be rolled over but if not maybe try them less hunched and lowered/back?

I'm no expert @AnubhavSaini but I suppose I'm a fresh pair of eyes! Looks fab... just noticing that your palms might not be being forshortened enough for the angles you have skelly at. Maybe doing the individual bones might help getting that width right? Hope this helps at all!

Love ‘sad face rhythm’ - Thanks Marco, these lessons are really great, I’m learning a lot!
