I did this 1-point perspective drawing before viewing the video and discovering ellipses are out of scope. I didn’t do a good job at the round table

This actually took me quite a long time, around 2-3 hours! I wanted to try something that might look cool, and just went with it. The majority of the time was spent just lining up things to the vanishing point and trying to get good horizontal and vertical lines, which I lacked in the level 1 project. I think the cabinet on the left isn't great, I think the lines converge above the vanishing point, but outside of that I don't notice anything too egregious! Always looking for constructive feedback, and have a nice day!

My pencils break, almost all the time. I used conte and charcoal of different brands. I use a sharp razor and I'm super careful not to apply too much pressure, and then it just breaks. If doesn't break during sharpening, it will break during sanding. I end up going back to my clutch pencil with graphite. Seems trivial, but it's super frustrating. I don't know if it's because I buy them on amazon and they break during shipping. Any tips are welcome.

For day 13 I drew from life, again. A model of Lamborghini Gallardo that’s been collecting dust on top of a bookshelf and a pencil case with some interesting patterns. Well and yesterday’s attempt at using copics on the drawing I started few days ago.

2023/2/15. Good morning everybody. Here's a figure drawing I made as assignment for @Patrick Jones's anatomy course, "The Anatomy of Style". Thanks.

Just finished up assignment 1 level 2.

Decided to go through this adventure as a family activity (dad + 7 yo + 5 yo). Here are our pears. Honestly, I found the exercise to be very difficult. Can't really see all the plane changes, especially on the bright areas while looking at the real pear. Any tips? Some planes I just invented because I assume there is a section of a cone joining with a spherical form in there somewhere.

There’s another way

I hope I understood the assignment. I'm doing everything digital cause I'm broke. I drew this trashcan at work since that's where I was while watching this lesson. I did spend more time on it afterwards though. I have a really hard time drawing anything from imagination, I'm just really good at copying what I see instead of creating my own content. Hopefully I can figure it all out here.

What are some GOOD charcoal brands? I used to love charcoal in high school and would like to try some.

Greetings from Canada! Let’s do this!

This course really is excellent! As a beginner, I’m so amazed at how these seemingly simple technique progressions have taught me not just to get a feel for the figure quickly, but to direct my hand where I want it to go. I’m very excited about what’s ahead.

Some mannequinization back studies

Did my normal, screen cap the references and figure out the forms on my own, then go back and compare to the video using red lines to show the major differences. Overall I think my line quality still needs some work, a few of the mannequins had maybe too many cross lines, but boy am I feeling good about my work overall. I'll come back later this week to post the last references from the video.

maybe too much contour? I really struggle with line quality. Never sure how to vary to add dimension and interest

Fun exercise. I’ve learned a lot here, and I’m looking forward to building on this

Some fleshy things.

Looking forward to this! I completed the figure drawing fundamentals course, and it made me realize how much fundamentals can improve my skill. I really just got into drawing less than a year ago and Proko has been a wonderful resource.

Here there are some of this weeks robo beans. Critics and comments are aprreciated :)

2022/11/24. Good morning everybody. Here’s my today’s 30 mins warming up exercise. Thanks for any suggestion or comment. Have a good day.
