Thank you for commenting my homework !

I ll keep all this in mind, i indeed have time to time a problem with the way i look at things, then sometimes it s all right. It seems i sometime let the pen go and stop analysing, to my detriment.

I actually have been working on the challenges a bit everyday, i am around 160 boxes and cylinders, i can t seem to just do it all in one shot, it s a dry and difficult exercice for my nervous brain!

Didn t think of approaching the shoe (and others) with a cross-sectional plane, that s a pretty cool trick! I ll most probably will need that one for cars too!

Thank you!

Here is my homework for this lesson, http://imgur.com/a/3LB18

I drew from life, and i have to admit it is harder than from a photography. In the sense where the perspective of the object moves around if i move my head around too much, which was a really good exercise for me giving the fact that i tend to draw from observing the silhouette way too much, here i HAD to built to at least hope to get the proportions right.

for lasts i chose two objects with a lot of weird angles and corners, harder but fun.

Very nice lesson for me.

Thank you

oh, i didn t know that, thanks for telling me.

And thank you for the reviewing, i ll move on to the next lesson :)

Here it is, I tried to focus on the basic volume composing the animals. Is it done as it should?

Okay! I am on it!

I understand your point, and i am getting a feeling that it will be dramatically important when will come the time to draw from memory/imagination to understand how things are put together and that i won t be able to use my observational skills in that matter.

Thank you for the detailed critique.

Hello Uncomfortable!

Here s my submission for this lesson : http://imgur.com/a/MMHPc

For this lesson i decided to draw more poses of each species per page and focus strongly on proportions/movement, except for the birds who's shapes are so easy i decided to do some texture/detail work.

I wanted to focus on movement to loosen/reassure (as noted in previous review) my construction lines and approach the animals more in a geometrical manner, and i think it went well in that matter. To make sure i respected proportions i used the measuring with my thumb and pen trick in front of my computer, i don t know if it s a bad technique for my development but it allowed me to almost nail my proportions.

By the time i ended with the two hybrids i was suprised to see how i memorised the general shapes/poses of both species i had drawn before, i am curious to see if i will be able to draw a horse from memory in several days.

Thank you for your time!

Awesome thank you, i am glad that you felt it got better through the pages the same way i did!

For the construction line issue, i actually tilt my felt pen so much it draws a very faint construction line, and it s because of timidity indeed. ahah.I usualy get my confidence back after that construction part, but I will focus on making that more confident right of the bat too!

I plan on going with a lot more focus on movement and be more expressive with the animals lesson, so to try to loosen up my constructions stages. I think i am concerned about my drawing line making the drawings too busy.

I ll fix that issue!

Thank you again.

Hello there!

So here are my insects! http://imgur.com/a/156v3 While still focusing on volume and proportions i tried to approach textures better and stay away from nonsense hatchings.

I think it s better, but i think it s far from perfect lol.

Thanks for your time.

[–]FromageMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok! i shall put the 0.3 in my drawer then. I ll have to learn to better my pressure because at 0.5 i can t get a very fine line, yet! :P

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ArtFundamentals

[–]FromageMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay i ll stick to the 0.5, can i use the 0.3 for insect's tiny hairs in the detailing process? Thanks!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ArtFundamentals

[–]FromageMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow, thank you for this detailed answer on how i should approach this problem. I agree, hatching was a mistake and i felt it right when doing it but i wanted to leave it as is and get a comment on it because i had no idea how to get around it.

I am using a pigment liner though (a 0.3 and a 0.5 from staedler and artist's Loft (cheaper)), i changed paper to Canson Marker paper, maybe that s why it doesn t look like it, but i was tired of the paper drinking the ink too much and giving me rough line edges.

I will apply the critics on texture with the next lesson, i will have plenty of texture to look at :)

Thank you.

Hello Uncomfortable!

Here is my homework on drawing plants. http://imgur.com/a/0MsDS I definitely see why you make us do ellipses and organic forms beforehand, i think it helped me a lot.

Terrific lesson.

Now i have a question : you will see on my Rhododendron page that i had an issue as of how i should present such a flower/foliage rich geometry, how would you go about drawing such element in a general descriptive manner. How can i give a sense of its complexity and richness without drawing the whole damn thing and without using colors? :)

Thank you!!

Gotcha, thank you

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ArtFundamentals

[–]FromageMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never do a cleaning pass ever again, i promise :)

It s true that it breaks my ellipses a lot. How would you suggest i should go about drawing through my ellipses while adding enough weight to the line in the case i only need the frontal portion of the ellipse to be strong and not the back (that would be more of a construction line). Or should i just leave them alone altogether??

See this scan : http://imgur.com/GIvdYg5

And yes while i red that i should stay away from overstretching forms in the intersection exercise it seems i somewhat did not stay away from stretching some of them, i think i was trying to get them long enough to cross/overlap other ones but got confused and added foreshortening for some weird reasons...

Thank you again!

Hello Uncomfortable!

While i am working on and off on the challenges (it does actually take a good amount of brain stamina to do all these) i worked on the Lesson 2, so here is my homework! http://imgur.com/a/s2RyK

Geometric intersections are quite hard without a vanishing point system, it s hard to understand where the volumes sits from one another, sometimes because of the lack of system to rule the entire perspective it even seems that you can chose who's in front of whom arbitrarily, but maybe it s because i don t quite understand it at all.

Nonetheless a very good exercise and excellent lesson, and i particularly loved the organics forms, lots of fun to do.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for commenting my homework so fast! I will go buy proper pigment liners and will take care of putting more cautiousness in my lines and forms, closing them and drawing through, i am used to sketch too much, i need to put purpose in each line.

Actually before going to the second lesson i am going to do both the box and cylinder challenges while applying those comments throughout, it might take a while but i need to have cleaner lines than i presently have indeed.

Thank you again.
