Realize how rusty and bad I am when not drawing from imagination lol.

Damn this project makes me see how rusty I am. I also maybe rushed it. Have to go slower next time. Will make one after watching his video also with tips. EDIT - added second pic after watching Stan’s demo. EDIT 2 - 3rd pic added. Mechanical pencil.

Here's my first attempt at the pear assignment. I feel like I'm having a hard time distinguishing my lighter shadows from my darker halftones.

Hey all, I am not a beginner, went to a couple art schools here and there, but I feel I have gotten rusty and developed a lot of bad habits over the years (symmetrical drawings/ digital forgiveness etc,). So I am here to get the rust off and try to do some projects and give critiques when I can. I have a lot of unprofessional art experience under my belt, some fanarts, etc. I have bought several courses and hope to see you all around and get myself into some sort of community. Anyway hello!

20/6/2023 This has to be one of my worst drawings on this site compared to yesterday, it feels rushed and super lacklustre in comparison to everything else.

Page 4. Loved this one. Went all over. Ideas for a scarecrow out in all seasons so he’s all blistered and gangrene from the elements. Another with posts impaled in him for walking and some other monster hybrids. Tried drawing smaller.

Did my 3rd page. I can see now why smaller is better. Easier to have one sheet of small things then a few pages all over. I really love doing this and this is making me way more creative than just my usual kinda pencil things and figure it out as I go along.

Second sheet. Not too happy with it but kept going. Working on a third now. Are they supposed to be sheets of the same monster progression? Or different monsters per sheet?

Here are all the ones I've done so far. In one place for convenience.

The working concept here is "Harvest", as in harvest time on a farm and also organ harvesting. Besides a peach orchard, the farm is home to several dozen rabbits. The farmer, in order to make more money, had allowed an enterprising yet twisted biochemistry student to perform experiments on the rabbits. One of his experiments starved the rabbits in order to find the biochemical markers of cannibalism. The rabbits suffered greatly until one broke out and discovered a holy revelation - a can opener. The rabbits gorge themselves on canned peaches and plot revenge - to harvest and sell their enemies' organs. I started with some shapes I found interesting and hope to keep it simple, elegant, and sinister.

A little behind, but here’s my ideation for assignment one. I was thinking of getting back into WoW but I’m sad they don’t have an undead witch doctor type character. That’s how this started. I’m loving the lanky creepiness I’m gaining. Ideas basically go from earliest on the left and latest on the right. Love the evolution of this process!

Hey everyone, here’s my ideation sheet. The character/creature is a mix between Legume(s) and 1920’s Gangster, called The Mean Bean. Any feedback would be appreciated!

I made more animal drawings, this time, I tried to be more dynamic, while keeping structured.

I grabbed this on Gumroad awhile back and it is so damn good at replicating the real thing. Worth every dollar!

This is so awesome! Thank you!
