      Exercise 2: Contour Lines.

      This one leaves a lot to be desired. I got all the detail in but my proportions are way off.

      This was done a bit quicker. 45 minutes or so.

          And here's today's exercise: negative space drawing. This was by far the quickest. I think it only took me about 10 minutes. The fact that the chair's parts are made of many continuous straight and parallel lines helped a lot.

            I made it to the end of the course - didn't want to bore everyone here with random shapes... but here's part 1 of the "final assignment". A building:

            I realized after the fact that it's missing a few shadows - I did this while sick in bed and hadn't eaten in 24 hours, so I'm excusing myself 😉

              Attempting to draw a car as part 2 of the final assignment.

              Here's what I got done tonight. I'll post more tomorrow!

                Here's the finished car. Almost forgot to include the drop shadow!

                Also, behold the new watermark I'm testing out:

                  @Basil-Godevenos Hi, I am also new to SVS and have started with the 7 days trial. I've also started with this course and just have finished the first 3 excerciese. I wanted to say that yours are so amazing. I am going to take a photo of mine and share as well. 🙂

                    @Eywin Awesome!! I really enjoyed this course. I think just nailing down the process of building a drawing layer by layer has really helped me a lot!

                      @Basil-Godevenos Thanks for sharing your work! I’ve just completed the course too. I tried to “draw along” with Jake as I was watching the demos so my final drawings are a bit wobbly. I’m going to spend a week or so drawing my own buildings, trees and cars before I move onto to perspective drawing. I think I might leave off character drawing for now as it is so much more complex (it was so hard to draw along with that demo and I am not pleased with the outcome!) as I think I will do the character design course after perspective. How about you? Which courses will you go for next?06BC7EA3-B7A6-40C5-96E2-5139B475CA31.jpeg 4C32B532-ADC0-46AA-A9E2-66F8CA401A8A.jpeg 05B7EA18-8088-4E47-B502-4BBEE60AD466.jpeg 899ADC92-9938-4922-9EB9-3B433FDF849F.jpeg

                        @mamadraw your drawings look fantastic! Great work.

                        I am following along the new foundations track, which begins with How to Draw Everything and then moves to perspective. Don't be timid about the perspective class - it's very good. I finished it recently and now I'm on to Will Terry's course, although I haven't been able to get through it as quickly because I've been sick recently.

                        Good luck!

                          @Basil-Godevenos Great! Yes, I'm planning on the same path, though I do keep getting side tracked by enticing things like fur and fabrics! I hadn't realised your original post was so old when I responded - good to hear that you got a lot out of the perspective class! I'm on it tomorrow! Good luck!
