Thats so true. When you start practicing more, its surprising what your brain learned! The horse is beautiful, and you have a gift for characters! Continue practicing every day, thats an assignment I give to myself. Thanks for inspiring ! Cant wait to see the next one! -
Erm, just the one tonight, i promise, it'll be different next time.. honest!
-
Really great work!
-
Thanks, Steve!
-
oh, btw, the first woman from the right was eating something so, yeah... it was a goood pose bu now i look at it.. ahem. yeah xD
-
So today was a push a little more towards caricature. I'm trying not to concentrate so much on likeness but to develop (and sometimes just use the expression/construction as a starting point) a feel of character or their emotional state... sometimes even just a fun stance! WIsh me luck!
-
@AndrewCothill good luck! Love the 'papa' on the right!

You are so dedicated, your approach I think your rendering is really good, you are capturing form and likeness to a high level. Though I think what could push you to the next level. Is after you have done one set of sketches. Draw the same things in a different pose without any refrence. I know its hard, but it will force you to use your memory. Its something I have found very helpful, I hope it helps. Great work, keep going.
Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

@Leontine-Gassenbeek - Thanks a lot! he was fun to draw as he had no chin and a massive body. Strangeness.
@Steve-Young Thanks a ton, Steve! That means a lot and makes total sense. That approach might also help to reduce the complexity too.
I predict a sudden downturn in qulaity but i won't let the fear of that get to me. I won't i tells thee!
ok then, prepare for failure! and hopeful success! and character growth! and all that good stuff xD
-
Everything is a success, failure is an opportunity to learn. When you learn, you get better. So the more you fail the more opportunity you have to get better, therefore less failure. Win Win.

Here's tonight's. As it says on there: i did the first one from ref, the second one referencing the first and the third one trying to remember and simplify. Thank you muchly, mister @Steve-Young!
-
Everything here is awesome! I'm super jealous of your skills!
-
@AndrewCothill Oh yes, Drawing makes you stronger, healthier, helps your emotions to mature. All because your self confidence is growing!
-
Thanks @AndrewCothill, you've done a great job with the last example. Keep going with your practice, but you also need to put that practice into some final artwork!
-
I really like this last example, you captured that attitude that seems to resonate from the character very well. I especially enjoy the way you added value to his hair, to me it really solidifies the drawing itself. Awesome work man!
-
@Christina-Taylor-Brown That's very kind of you, Christina! Thanks for saying so but i really, honestly feel like it's getting lucky a few times... when it goes wrong, it goes really WRONG! xDD you should see some of the drawing of people i was doing about 2-4 weeks ago! xD
@Leontine-Gaasenbeek - i'm not sure if self confidence is growing but i can definitely see where false confidence has played a massive part in my development. Also, there's a lot of times i wished i just shut up and kept drawing instead of analysing so much. There's soo much i never knew that comes from just drawing and studying every day!
@Steve-Young when you say finished piece do you mean moving from a reference to an imaginative drawing and then pushing it all the way to a sort of polish stage? i'm hoping to traverse back to the 3rd Thursday comp and hopefully that will be from ref, simplified and then taken to as mfinished as i can muster!
Thanks for your energy and ideas too, btw!@Ben-Rudnicki142 Thanks very much, Ben! I saw the hair as the biggest challenge on the image but what you say makes so much more sense than just a technical challenge, it makes it about a hole person and i never really thought of it like that. Thanks!
I'm currently doing around 3 other big things so i'm trying to squeeze these in quicker these days/ Here's tonight's It's not fully successful but i didn't feel like i was checking reference this time. it was more like i was rying to catch who this guy was. I'm not sure if that doesn't sound like poo but i'm not sure i really understand it myself at the moment. Changes are a-foot!
-
Great work, I like your imaginative stuff. Your correct, push your lessons using reference to create a final imaginative piece. Good luck with that.
