My Term 1 Assignments, Pen control and image adjustments.
It was quite jarring for me to draw out the ellipses as my palm would drag on the screen causing irregularities when moving too slowly.
as for the image adjustments, i did have fun. When it came to the last 2 however, i really struggled a bit with the colour balance. especially on her leg in the last image. I still don't get how the colour balance is used nor how/what does it actually alter in the image.
Welcome to the forums! I look forward to seeing your progress! Do you use a glove when you draw? If you can get one of those microfiber gloves it really helps drawing on the tablet allowing your hand to glide across the screen. I can't imagine drawing without a glove. In terms of color balance its super super useful. For example lets say you paint in a shirt on a seperate layter, and layter on you need to change the color of it, you can do a color balance and change it later. Very handy to use and you will get better at it with trial and error. Keep up the good work!
Ahh I see,
I have made a purchase for the microfiber glove, some people were quite confused that my tablet came w/o a glove. I did a makeshift glove by cutting up an old pair of parade gloves for now hahaha.
Thanks for the assistance Lockenheim.
I've tried assignment 3 by using images i found online. i noticed throughout the process that i mainly used hue and level correction.
I feel the challenge was mainly getting everything to sit comfortably in one image. mostly in the image quality of the different reference materials so i had to purposely blur some object to fit the
jpg artifacting/noise of the base image.
I had quite a bit of fun mainly of how cringe it was hahaha
Hi! You did grat job with that asingmet, Looks nice. Cant wait to see more.
1 month later
I've already broken my initial plan of posting atleast once a week 
I've had to find a comfortable job to get me some money while im doing art i'm afraid.
I've read in Josh Waitzkin's book, the art of learning that consistency trumps burst of studying. So this is what i have intended to do these past weeks.
I have broken up my schedule such that i strive to study/do art for 3 hours every alternate day. Whilst doing these 40 min of studies every day. These studies are 1 Pose of the day whereby I try to breakdown and understand a particular pose, followed by 20-30 Gestures.
I hope that through consistency, it helps me better in the long run .-.
Above is the first few days i completed.
I will be adding the rest below this post.
POTD 14 is missing as it was really messy and I ended up doodling over it because.
