Very nice, Huy!
A few of us in this class and other classes are posting in a daily thread if you want some company in making this a habit.

We also do some live calls where we draw together. DM me if your interested in those for the times.

Going back through this section of the course. I shall not fear perspective!

Nothing to fear. As I've heard C.F. Payne say, "The only thing taking a risk is the paper."

I don't know how many times now I had posted about this subject. Do you think my structure is good enough to move on to features or should I practice keep practicing the loomis method?
3d
Not that any of us are ever DONE studying structure, but these look really good. I don't see any reason not to tackle the features.

Bean practice this morning, followed by two minute gestures. I'm throwing in progress on one of my current master studies for good measure. This kind of covers the breadth of my studies right now.

My gesture drawing practice for this week. I tried NMA timed video on youtube and did it twice. I feel like the second time around the poses turned out better.
Once again, sorry for the quality of the pics. I have to figure out some better lighting so that the whole page is lit evenly.

This assignment was probably one of the hardest yet. I still am having a hard time with the ellipses. Whenever I place the major axis and try to make The lines cross over the major access and also touch the four corners it always looks weird and wrong. And Stans looks correct even though I feel like I'm doing the exact same thing.
Although the assignment was fun. Had to sketch a lot of cubes to figure out what perspective I wanted it to be in. I probably made it harder for myself by choosing that low of an angle.

Wheels are tough. One thing that helped me is to remember that the minor axis of the ellipse you draw points to the VP. Another way to think of it is that the minor axis points straight down the middle of the length of the cylinder it is a part of.

2nd post of the day in here.
A little while back @Martha Muniz was nice enough to give me some feedback regarding shading. She pointed me to a video on shading by Dorian Iten on YouTube that was very helpful. I revisited the video tonight and took a crack at it with digital tools.
Shading is a big area of growth for me. I've done a lot of t-shirt and comic book illustrations, but the style I work in is far less subtle than what I'm trying to develop. Dorian has a shading course here with a lot of free lessons. I delved into those a bit tonight as well.
The figures I've drawn after watching a few videos were done with the intent to find the terminator (where the form light meets the shadow shape), which is an exercise Dorian recommends. I'll eventually buy the premium course because Dorian clearly has an approach I want to get deep into, but I'll wait a little while until I finish a few of the open courses I'm in.

10 second gestures.
Okay, this was pretty ridiculous. I found my self laughing a lot as I fumbled through them. Still fun, though.

I am having one of the worst drawing weeks of my entire life. My hands are trash. I have essential tremor always but it has been unhinged this week. I am house sitting so I don’t have a scanner and everything is awful. You’ve all been sharing such fantastic work I feel obligated to balance it out with my failure. I’m just struggling. Raving over.

Not to minimize your frustration, but if that's one of the worst drawing weeks of your entire life, just take a step back to appreciate what you're accomplishing. Without caveat, this is impressive.
