Okay, here is a sense of community, question, not trying to be lame, but truly wishing to understand. I love this live stream and this instructor.
i want to know more detailed on how he has determined our eye level (horizon) is barely established above the feet, in this shot, in about 45 minutes into the livestream. I’ve drawn in purple, where the camera horizon line would certainly be place, or maybe just at the knee level.
This is important to me. I suck at drawing, but I have a good sense of special 3D awareness, and if we had to get super academic, I think I could get many experts to agree that the camera lens view on this shot would put the horizon line at just below thr knees (I’m starting to slide in how high I thought it).
So, not to challenge the awesome instructor, but I guess I want to really know how he defines our “eye” and is it the same as the camera lens, or is he using another means of reference to where our “eye” is.
His line is so close to that oval disk that I just don’t grasp if our (or his eye level view) is different than that of the camera lens.

Does everyone painting now create art as their primary source of income? What was the transition like from art as a hobby or art as a student to art as a primary or major income source?

Hi, I'm working on my portfolio and I'd like your opinion on which character or which components from different characters to use for a final illustration. The character is from a desert tribe that uses armadillo, grass, and dark stone in various ways. They are relatively peaceful so weapons are not a big part of this concept. The tribe mainly gathers and explores desert areas.
Here's my submission for the Odd Bot challenge along with some process sketches. Fun prompt!

Hi, I would appreciate some suggestions to push this further. I was thinking maybe add some areas of color or decals. Push the values more? Any other thoughts related to the design or anything else? Thanks!

I changed the background color and some of the design at the top. Think it improved the contrast issue and some of the shapes a bit

Playing with "balloons" idea. Making a floating bot.
2yr
I like the weight of the dangling limbs/appendages in 1,2,3. #4 has a different feel, more aggressive. Something about the size of the balloons gives a feeling of a lazy float that works better with 1,2,3. Maybe add little floaters on the feet too even if they are a small white dot? really like this design excited to see where you take it next!

I really like this portrait and the active feeling you created with different textures. Something that jumps out at me is the neck and the hair kind of blend together. Maybe play around with making the two a bit more distinct? Also, there is a lot of blue so adding a very small but bright highlight of yellow somewhere around the eyes might be interesting. All that being said, it's great as is no changes necessary but those are a couple ideas to think about. What's your process in creating portraits do you go straight in with paint or draw the shapes first with lines?
