ummm, I did it again. Is it better? Yes, is this what I am satisfied with? No, do I still wanna kill myself? Yes, and am I gonna try again? Yes but not recently I feel burnt out already. here’s my own critique: 1) I learned about changing shape design in between object/subject which I was unaware of, first time. 2) I was patient, calm and didn’t had any thoughts to kill myself (atleast while doing this) what I think should improve:- I was overly dependent on video than first time, i need to learn edges and shifting the gradient in planes. I believe I need to learn adapting shape design in tonal studies which I have never done before, same with line quality, perspective and forms. I can always do the contour for shapes but never in between shapes which are complex to me right now. how I am gonna do this:- by not touching my sketchbook for a week, I tried my best but this was overwhelming and a bit frustrating. I will focus on painting so I don’t forget tonal values but I want a bit rest just a bit.

Thank you for this experience. Didn’t think I would have the patience to finish it. Or would be able to at all. Think I made a little step. 🐥 The photo accentuates the blacks too much though. The second I took from a distance and looks more like the blacks it has.

g8uesss whossss backkk babyyyy

ummm.. yeah i am going to do it one more time and with better paper, i have to rush out fast because paper stopped holding darker graphite and started shining, this is canson mixed media, medium grain... i will try rag paper or something else. One more thing about this how to have thought process of not killing yourself while doing this, i am not joking this requires patience with calmness, i was frustated as hell.

yo am i alone or someone else wanted to die while doing this, been working with demo since two days about to go 3rd freakinn day😾

Nice demo. I will do more attempts. I just have one page left on my sketchbook. And got 2 new skechbooks. Fancy sketchbooks this time! And decored with cool artsy stickers I bought from red bubble.

Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the oceans, rivers, and lakes that you're used to...

I am actually revisiting these exercises just because I recently started painting from scratch. Working with acrylics and a brush made me realise that I am still missing a lot of basics, so I will try to redo all the exercises to practise again, which I hope will improve my observation skills. This also made me rethink about the recent project we are doing with the flow of lakes, rivers, and oceans, focusing on mid-tones, light tones, and dark tones. This has been helpful. I will try to commit to these projects as best I can.

Maybe level 1 level 2 I don’t think I can do level 2, just because I am still learning acrylic, and also with graphite same but I will try level 2 after some time, thanks

Woooohoooo new lecture lessssgooooo
