I guess you changed the right picture instead of the left one?
And the last picture is a really mean one, for a lot of us

I managed to do the assignment for digital production where I combine several images. Gotta say it was challenging due to each of the images having different resolutions and color balances. I also had to get a jpeg of some wood to finish the balcony since the original didn't have one. Some other stuff I learned to use was the brush modes specifically burn and color dodge.

Overall I enjoy this assignment due to many of the new things I had to use from the lecture. I'll probably need to get better at using the select tool and blending objects into the environment more seamlessly.

Fun little character sketch I did of a minotaur creature today

Ahhh, for the challenge? Looks already super interesting

artist.rieljin 2021-01-18 16:15:41 UTC #13

Thank you! But wait there's a challenge?

Julia_J 2021-01-18 16:17:26 UTC #14

Are you part of the Facebook group/artschool + feedback?

artist.rieljin 2021-01-18 16:23:39 UTC #15

No I am not.

Ah, then it is just a really funny coincidence

Here is a study of a Greek statue I found on Pinterest. I wanted to focus on getting better on values and shadows. This also gave me great practice on shading around the form.

Another greek statue study! This one was a bit more challenging to me. Ended up lowering the rendering for the beard and changed some of the forms:

Hey y'all! I haven't posted here in a while but I have some pieces that I've done from the past few months mainly focusing on observational drawing and experimentation:

Impressive stuff Gabe!
Hope to see more soon!

Here are some figure gestures and a construction from a reference that I did. References were from a free pack on Gumroad from Rachel Bradley:

Any critiques/ suggestions are highly appreciated.

I'm going to try to post something nearly everyday (or at least 3 weeks to gain a habit). Right now I'm focusing on gestures and getting familiar with the figure again.

Uploading something small to try to hit the 3 week minimum. It's hard to have some plan on what to draw each day due to the amount of information the internet has. Though I do want to focus on FZD, Scott Robertson type of drawing and rendering. Image below has some notes from a James Patel video.

Very nice! Yes I agree the information overload can be overwhelming. I try not to venture into other content outside of art school unless I have questions that I can't figure out the answer to. I watch a lot of the old school feedbacks which help fill in a lot of my missing information just at a slow pace. Not sure if that is helpful lol but its working for me. Keep it up!

Thank you for the advice!
