Eliana's Time Capsule Week 1
-
I love this time capsule project, Eliana! Great idea, and I can't wait to see what comes of it.
As someone who has spent a long time in art classrooms, I struggled for a long time with how to know what 'finished' looks like for me, without an instructor or a project brief. I spend a lot of time overdoing it or under-doing it, but it's nice to look back through my sketchbook and understand better what my process looks like. -
This have been my practices these days, trying to keep a limit of 30-40min focusing on how to handle the values / colors and proportions.

@Valerie-Light @PenAndrew Thank you! It really motives me to know your own experiences because I haven't gone to any art class yet. I've "been taking classes" online only and I thought it was a problem that happened because I don't have a mentor pointing out what I am doing wrong.
-
@Eliana-Bastidas I think you're doing awesome, then!
It's not the same as having an instructor look over your shoulder, but master copies make good stand-ins for mentors. As you decide what finished looks like for you, trying to replicate the process of a piece you admire can be super informative. -
@Eliana-Bastidas I think your work is very strong and I like it very much and look forward to seeing it week by week.
-
@Eliana-Bastidas You also inspire me to do regular work which i have started with my desire to draw comics but this has been delayed by having to grade 189 exams over 4 days!

Wow Eliana phenomenal work and I love hearing how your processes work. Thank you for posting these things and showing where your mindset is because I totally resonate with you. I appreciate it so much. I'll definitely be following your progress.
-
This is great work Eliana! Don't be too hard on yourself, even if you don't finish a piece, there is a ton of learning going on and that's so valuable.
I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to not "finish" a piece when you are learning. Keep it up!

@Eliana-Bastidas I absolutely love that blue and red-ish portrait, great color picking there!
-
Thank you everybody. I changed my mind and will be keeping this kind of posts monthly, that way it will be easier for me to look back because I will need to check only 12 posts

I've been doing the Illustration Isolation of visual arts passage. This picture really was a challenge to me, I couldn't get the correct values and kept changing them. In the end I still couldn't get the likeness of the picture before giving up.
Since I've been trying to get better at my fundamentals, I've been looking for one on one mentorship, so I purchased the one from force drawing. I saw a few videos, understood the process I but don't know how to apply it yet. Here is the mess I made trying to get at it:
It took me 10min aprox on each drawing and I had to erase/redraw them because when I got stuck at the "force" concept I was making mistakes on my measurements and got the proportions all wrong. -
@Eliana-Bastidas these are great!
