Hey everyone. I'm a Hershey, a software engineer and grad student from SoCal. Here's some of my work. I'm excited to learn from everyone here and maybe move beyond being a hobbyist one day.

I'd recommend just trying to draw the rock in the center and focusing on that. 1. block out basic geometric shapes. You don't have to follow exactly what's in the picture, but it should have a similar feel 2. figure out where the light source is (in this case its from the from the right and is pointing towards the viewer) 3. take those basic blocked out geometric shapes (should be very much like cubes), and the light source, and apply tone. try restricting yourself to 3 tonal values (light, medium, dark).

Can you give a ballpark # of how any gesture drawings you've done?
