Need to go lighter and cleaner
How tf do people get 5 tone with hb alone this is witchcraft
4mo
Something fun i heard today in my watch though was how Jeff mentioned something about 10 tones. And it made me laugh because our only lesson was with half of that to warm us up.

10 is witchcraft wtf
Im getting back to it after a fairly long rut
The initial block is strong but showing up consistently every day for a couple weeks without any expectations is the way to go
you WILL improve if you just do it. Thank me later

Yikes 😬 that was difficult for me. It was a big jump in difficulty for me from the only using straight lines lesson. I got the snail but I don’t have confidence in my line drawing so it came out scratchy. 😕 I started the boot but was getting too frustrated so had to stop for a while. I need more practice drawing curved lines so gonna practice that for a while.

A hand position chosen from 3D, traced it on the iPad and then draw it on paper free hand - well, measured and eyeballed it. This was a tough section of the course. Will be coming back to it often. In the meantime studying perspective.

Assignment 01 - Obliques
Definitely a tricky one. Critiques and feedback welcome and appreciated!

Pretty good!
The 7 is off tho, the ribage is leaning pretty far back while the pelvis is in a fairly neutral position: the abs should be streched af and the middle crease should be almost like a tight rope tied between the pubis and the sternum, going up and away in perspective.
In 1,2,5,6 and 7, I would show the 10th rib poking through. in extreme stretching i would make the ASIS show even more.
Keep in mind that as soon as the torso leans back or sideways there is stretch going on and you have to show it.
Be careful not to put a bulge unless there is obvious pinch.
Hope it helps.

I started anatomy being far worse than you and still got a lot out of it.
Go for it!

Just another attempt. Quick gesture from photo and then struggling to simplify. Still need examples, obviously.

Hi Sita,
I strongly encourage you learn get Marshall Vandruff`s perspective lectures. Its very inexpensive and I'm confident you will get better just by watching them (i certainly did).
Most of the issues you have are perspective related in my humble opinion (fingers thin like popsicles sticks, parallel lines fanning out rather than converging, ellipses breaking the law of ellipses...), so you need to get the theory down with a quality course and then DRILL the hell out of SIMPLE shapes and volumes : Cylinders, boxes, cones, ellipses, circles,...
You will get massively better by drawing lot of simple stuff with correct perspective.
You will improve very little by drawing complicated or even simple stuff with meh perspective. I suggest you experiment with drills like those i included. I'm not perfect at it yet but at least i can see most of my mistakes after the fact and correct them.
I'm not saying you should ditch hands, figures or portraits to focus on perspective but doing it for even a few days would be smart.
Perspective really is game changing, much more so than gesture or anatomy. Tackle it seriously with a pencil and eraser and you will thank me for it.

This is so pretty, i wish i could render as beautifully as you do. Did you follow a specific tutorial?
You are much better than i am at drawing hair so there is nothing here for me to critique.
However, there is a perspective issue i can help you with: The left eye (the one on the right) and its eyebrow is too high. Also, the chin's own perspective is ambiguous. Finally the mouth should be tilted upward.
Keep in mind that if the lady's head was a box, the brow line, eye line, nose, and chin line would converge towards a vanishing point because the left portion of her face further away and therefore smaller than the right.

I think you should clean up you lines, those drawings look very good but the hairy lines hide the accuracy of your ellipses and perspective. also avoid to make the face a flat surface, i has a curve to it.

suggestion: put something on the wall to give it perspective, a motif or an object

Ex 6. Sorry, I'm going to be doing these out of order, it's example 6, but it's the second one I've done.

good stuff! I would recommend that you practice drawing ellipses and cylinder on their own, your knuckles should have (ideally) different perspectives from one finger to the other and be wider than thick (tubes rather than pucks), but in order to make such nuance appear on paper, you need to increase the line quality of your ellipses and really understand the perspective of cylinders.
