Love the class so far! I also wanted to try to learn ProCreate while doing the assignments!! 😅

Chose my own reference for this one. Photograph by Arcady Shaikhet (1898-1959). I think I could have worked on it more and put in some more detail, but since it was so complex I also knew I had to stop somewhere. I’d love some suggestions on how it could be improved :)

Heres my Thumbnail, i might of crept a bit past 5 on the value scale

Here is my assignment:

I tried to simplify on this one, using 'layers' and big forms at the beginning. Took me 'bout 1,30h.

Did two just because I wasn’t happy with the first one. Watercolor

I'm finding these exercises a lot of fun to do, but I didn't think drawing the support rods would be so difficult.

I must say the architecture was a bit tricky to understand. I just tried to draw what I saw. I could have darkened my cast shadows a bit. I really like that light values are perceived as dark in relation to lighter values. The dark around the horses in the demo video are perceived as black, even though they are light grey. It almost feels like a trick, because it is not possible to see that way in real life. We always see in full value range.

I used graphite pencils 6H, 4H, 2H, and B to recreate the image. I am not sure if I got the value right or not but I really enjoyed the assignment. Thank you #ideacraft

Had fun trying out brushes I don’t typically use to resolve some of the striations on the rock walls.

I am sticking with using Procreate for the thumbnail in high values to make it easier to compare with the previous assignment. I really like this way of working with the value sets really helps me focus.

Experimenting with not zooming in ‘while working on thumbnail type of drawing 🤔 [to not overdetail]

Impression of the reference. As far as I’m able to use Procreate. I’m sure there’s a lot more possible to make this better.

Went digital on this assignment, still learning the program so it look a little longer than expected. Eye dropper and lasso tools were very much appreciated for this one.

I wanted to add the darkest dark and use more values. So this was limiting. But I think I caught the most important points.

No comment lol

I mixed up puddles of gray paint and matched them to my Value Chart, so they must be right, but yet they look wrong and I don’t seem to have them properly balanced. I guess I just need more practice.
