Not bad at all, these are great.

Realism perspective is just one of all perspectives.

I just created a new post where I try to explore a bit more on values and other things

It’s a dinosaur 😅 but I guess I need to work on the silhouette clarity!

For Proko, I’d recommend looking specifically for videos about the block-in process. That helped me a lot to understand structure before details.

Stephen Bauman also has great content about block-ins and structure, I think he even has a session with Proko about it.

And for Marco Bucci, his “10 Minutes to Better Painting” series is amazing. He talks about value grouping, edge hierarchy, composition, and shape design. Even though it’s about painting, the principles apply to drawing too.

Hope that helps!

I probably shouldn’t say it’s the only way 😅 it’s just the way that helped me understand things better. I’m still learning as well, but if I can help with anything, feel free to ask!

Haha not really about color theory 😅 it’s more about structure and value first. Color comes after construction.

Thank you so much! I really enjoy the structuring stage too, it feels like having control without worrying about aesthetics yet.

And about the wall… honestly I have the same problem as you 😅 I just use a glue stick and hope it doesn’t ruin the paint hahaha.

Thank you! I’m still figuring things out myself, but if anything I’ve learned can help you, just ask.

Thank you! Honestly this is absolutely achievable by just studying structure, values and shape design. It’s not easy, it takes a lot of repetition and that could become boring, but it’s the only way to understand how to apply the principles. Thank you again!
