i would like to say i am sry for my behavior. This post is kinda childish and just wrong. I am a very negative person and constantly clank down on myself and tbh i dont want to give upp but i am just frustrated with my lack of growth. I know i am not the only one that feels this way. And its tough for everyone not just me. I will not make this kind of post again. I dont know if i will continue to strive for improvement. once again i am sry for this post. from now on. if i am to post it will be to ask for feedback.

Glad you realised this. I seen this post yesterday and nearly commented, but I couldn't articulate what I wanted to say without being crude myself, so I waited. I'm happy I didn't need to voice my opinion :) Do continue though, maybe not right away but soon, before years go by and you realise you have lost time like I have. Been at this nearly 20 years (of bad, on and off studying) and your drawings are better than mine. Just think of how great it will be at the end and that you owe it to yourself to do this.

Ok, first, the twirls. This is a new part of my warmup exercise. It's more visually stimulating than drawing connected curve islands. Second, the two point perspective. Some of the ones that got close to the horizon line I had some trouble with. The ones I didn't like I marked with a question mark. What do you make of them?

I think it’s pretty solid work, I would recommend using a ruler for the boxes you struggled with to get the gist of how they look and then try without, but even without the ruler, the boxes look pretty good! Quick disclaimer, I just started my art journey so my advice might not be the best hehehe, but I believe your doing great!

All of the boxes with question marks are challenging because the top planes are so narrow. It happens when you get close to the horizon line. This best I could line it up. Looks like you understand the idea. Nice stuff 👍

Gesture drawing is my bane, I find it hard to seperate from "blocking out" (shapes part) that is done earlier tin the drawing fundamentals course. At the second drawing i felt a bit more confident, was only latching onto the "no symmetrical shapes" part of the lesson but I don't think i've got the whole idea.

I'm still here, drawing fell off a littler over the last few weeks or so, I had over area of study, but I have some more work to show you. There's a bit of life observation in there. I'm always changing my warmups, hence the swirling galaxy patterns. Posted out of order.

Accidentally went away from using basic shapes and went on to just blocking them out
Rachel Dawn Owens
These are still nice simplifications. No detail. Using basic shapes will help when you try to draw more from memory. I particularly appreciate how you simplified the rhino head. You went for a more dynamic shape rather than a stagnant one.

More turning animals into basic shapes

Doing the simplifying animals to shapes challenge whilst still trying to remember how to do lines
Rachel Dawn Owens
Nice work keeping things simple.

This might be the third time I've done this but I'm enjoying it and seeing the difference between the different methods. It's not a lot for a "days" study but I have other commitments.
