Hi Michael!!! I really love your art, you are a big inspiration for me, and I want to know if we are going to have some shading class or something like that. I have your book and I really love the shading and the look the drawings have, but I don’t know how to get it. I would love to have something like that. Thank you!

Do 5 pages of warmups around the principles of drawing covered in lesson.
Line Mastery:
- Dedicate one page to practicing various types of lines, including straight lines, S-curves, and circles.
- Incorporate principles of ghosting to improve line control and precision.
Spoke Wheel Exercise:
- Experiment with creating a spoke wheel design by striking lines through a central dot, ensuring equal length and spacing.
- Practice maintaining consistency and precision in line placement.
Shape Familiarity:
- Explore basic primitive shapes such as ellipses, cylinders, and spheres.
- Devote separate pages to understanding and mastering each shape through repetitive practice.
Form intersections are hard! Also I definitely have to practice ellipses and circles
i'm trying to apply the perspective stuff i learned here, so I tried to keep everything on the same perspective grid/line of sight. i found drawing anything figure-like to be super alien.
Hey @Steven Michael Hampton i am
back after completing the gesture course! Excited to build my knowledge on figure construction. 💪🏻
had a lot of fun with this! I’m going to try to do at least a page of this everyday to stay sharp!
See that form intersections are the topic of the next video so I took on the assignment instructions to the letter.
I’ve been trying to do a page or two as warmup each day for about a week. On connecting dots, I’ve noticed I definitely struggle more when I can’t see both points, so have been doing a lot of the lines right to left. I’ll have to work that into my other drawings. Ellipses are brutal. They seem easier in context such as on cylinders or wrapping around a column. I have a really hard time with them between two lines. Definitely something to keep practicing.
I really had fun with this exercise , and it is very hard , but now I have a way of working on my lines. I have been looking for exercise to work on my lines for years , Thanks for this . I will be doing this exercise as a warm up every session
Hitting the art gym, best wishes to you dear reader. May your assignment bring you closer to your goals.
My intersection exercise attempt. I left some intersections undone because i could not successfully visualize how it would be represented on paper. I will continue to revisit this exercise until I get it right!
Getting the hang of them! Having a harder time understanding how to do wraps and overlays than I thought, it only LOOKS easy but then when I do it myself I realize it takes a lot of analytical thinking. Practicing more on this!
Need some more patience to finish this task.(Be angry when the line was not so straight......)
Kinda hard to keep track shapes within shapes sometimes. Also knowing how to break part a sphere kinda confused me
Nice. Your varied line-weight adds a lot of interest to the drawing.
I especially like the lower center box and subtractive ball. The overdrawn top corners remind me architectual drawings, and the shading on the box where ball cuts into it works really well.
