To draw like Loish or Glenn Keane, knowing CSI and the gesture drawings in the figure drawing course is enough "textbook knowledge" you need, IMHO. After that what you need to do is a lot of practices, and master copies of your favorite artists. Post here and people can tell you where the gap is. Slowly narrow the gap and you'll get there. I see some drawings that you posted. You're on the right track, but you still need more mileage. It's like when a child starts to learn how to write, and he wants to write beautiful script. A teacher taught him how to write script, but he knows he's not there, and he wonders what else he needs to learn. But you know the kind of mature, slowly scripts come from years of writing with deliberate practices.

I love your layout design and composition in every single one of them. I would say your weakness is color, especially green. All your green looks very mottled with over saturated greens and unnaturally muddy greens combined. I notice for most digital artists green is a problem. Try to do life sketches of plants and trees with digital media. The yellow of the leopard is mottled too. Color harmony is not there either, except your 3rd and 4th piece. I recommend Marco Buccio’s color course here for color theory. His content is excellent and he explains everything so well! Also do some master copies of editorial illustration with a focus on how colors are used.

Another day of practicing. Thank you, Patrick, for sharing your thoughts and drawing process, It inspires a lot!

Very nice work! If you’re looking for feedback, I think your poses tend to get stiff. In your 3rd and fifth uploads, they were standing straight up with legs closed poses. People rarely stand like that as it’s uncomfortable and unnatural. Moebius is great but his poses are on the stiff side, so you might want to add another art parent that have more exaggerated poses to balance things out. I really like the shape design of your last painting. To go further, pay attention to the lighting of the character. She looks like she’s front lit evenly, but the shadow and the night scene indicate otherwise. The first painting is a very cool idea. It looks like they’re jumping into flame. I can see you have wild imagination! I agree there are too many busy strokes that don’t really communicate much, and the shadow shape is very undeterministic. I would eliminate unnecessary strokes and have a clear vision what your shape is, not just the silouhette of the subject, but every small shadow or color shape. Marco Buccio’s course talks about that, and some of his free YouTube clips cover that too.

Hello! I liked your wolves on the cover of the course, I would really like to comprehend the mysteries of creating art in this style. Accordingly, I would like to purchase your course, but I need to clarify a couple of details. First: I still do not perceive English well by ear, the text form (subtitles) is given to me much better, plus Google translator can come to the rescue) Do your video lessons have a subtitle function? And second, how can I make payment? Through what apps?

Drawing along, then did some online life drawing for Figruary.

I'm not sure what you mean. Was your feed about the instructor adding a course, like this? This kind of posts only show number of likes.

Wow looking great!

Depending on how sturdy your easel is, you'll probably have to get something with a clamp like this - https://www.amazon.com/Tablet-Holder-Tripod-Projector-Devices/dp/B0919MS5GG/ref=sr_1_13?crid=38EA8R3JY05IT&keywords=ipad+holder+attachment&qid=1672947907&sprefix=ipad+holder+attachmen%2Caps%2C297&sr=8-13

Wow I love your artwork! I would start with social media, such as instagram or TikTok (if you can produce videos of your art making process), and say you're open for commission.

How are you mirroring? What's your TV resolution? I mirror from my Mac devices, sometimes even iPhone, and the quality is always great.

really lovely!

There are so many different ways to approach this. To minimize confusion, the best way is to do some black/white master studies of good movie scenes, or famous artworks. Start with 2-3 values only, break things down. Don't spend too much time on each one, just 5-10 minutes each. 2 Value can be very difficult depending on the artwork, and it's not always possible to get a good read with 2. The challenge with 3 value is, like you said, pick a mid tone. To start you can just 50% grey as the midtone. But after a while train your eyes to pick a midtone that is a little biased towards light or dark. You'll notice most good artworks or film scenes are not half in the light and half in the dark. It's usually 20/80 or 30/70. So in a generally dark scene, your mid tone could be 75% grey instead of 50% grey, if that makes sense. After that you should be able to apply that to your artwork, and you'll probably have more questions then. But for now just focus on master studies to at least understand the concept.

Yeah they come in waves. I just removed a bunch. It should be clean now! Thank you for reporting!

Lovely drawings! So impressive considering your age too. If you're into renaissance style drawing/painting, check out new master academy too. The courses they offer lean more towards your interests.

That's a great goal! Good luck and have fun!

It's such a wonderful demonstration, thank you! I learned gesture drawings from Proko, and also love Glenn Vilppu's messier gestures, but have trouble understanding his thinking. Your gestures are a perfect bridge between the two worlds, and now I understand Vilppu's gesture drawings too.

I just came across this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKxNWq-nvto Second the Schoolism class if you have the subscription, or it's worth investing in one month to take that course, it's a good one. I'm sure there are tons you can find on YouTube too.

2022/7/23. Hello everybody. Here is the final (and adjusted) version of the trading card game I posted a few days ago). I changed the lights by bringing their colors closer to the surrounding environment but leaving them on the yellow tone to make the hair, face and breasts still protagonists when the illustration is within the frame of the card, and without a strong light that drives the viewer she could look too dark. I redesigned the sword as my instructor pointed out that the perspective was not correct. And he also suggested that I add some "princely" details like jewels or a crown. Of course a lady Viking wouldn't wearing gold accessories to a battle, but in the game's fiction it provides the idea of a "Viking princess". I hope you like it. Good night.
