Group run through creative environment design week 3 art and feedback

Here is exercise 6a. I did three of them, but I am not thrilled with any. Houses and building are not my thing. A lot more work needed here.

[ArtofAleksey]

@ErinCortese i love these! Especially the textures

[murielle]

These are all so good. I'm so bad at this exercise and I'm totally procrastinating :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

[braden H]

@ErinCortese Building's aren't many people's things They're tough.

@murielle I was pretty procrastinaty about last week's exercise! Don't feel bad. And you're never as bad as you think you are All our inner critics are jerks.

[burvantill]

@ErinCortese I don't know what the assignment is, but I think these are great!

[Coley]

@Braden-Hallett I listen to my inner jerk less and less as I get older We do all have one, though, don't we?! Gotta ignore that jerk ha ha

[Coley]

I did two sketches, drawing on a tablet which I don't have a lot of practice with! Just trying to get used to working in photoshop a little and not get totally overwhelmed like I normally do lol.
First house is based on hut from the film set for Random Passage, a wood hut with mossy/grassy roof. Second house is sort of greek themed.
Will have to get on the other two exercises asap. Bit strapped for time this week with kids off from school for easter break.
The exercises are teaching me a lot about using reference to influence my sketch and idea but not be married to it! I SO need to learn to do that. And last week's exercises on thumbnails was fantastic to get me started on that habit. Really learning some important ways to work here......pretty sure it will stay with me. Grateful for this group as well

The couches went easier, I feel much better about these. They are definitely less intimidating than buildings. What I do feel like I am missing here though is the stylization. @Braden-Hallett the stylization is something that you nailed! Yours look like they are ready to drop in a composition. Is that something that comes naturally for you, or did it come with practice? I wasn't even thinking about style or thirds and fifths while I was doing these, it wasn't until I was finished that I noticed the lack of style.

[ArtofAleksey]

@ErinCortese i want these couches in my living room.
I also like to prove my inner jerk wrong

[Erin.Cortese]

@Coley These look great! You managed to capture a lot of mood and tone with these.

[braden H]

@Coley Do what you can when you can

I'm learning a lot from this group run through as well

I think it mostly comes with practice. I've done a LOT of comic pages, so style's something that's crept in over time

The problem with procrastinating is that I look at what everyone else has done and am so blown away I'm reluctant to even try (I will give it shot but you guys are really good. I love everyone's stuff.)

[MichaelaH]

Done...uff...only raw sketch

[MichaelaH]

@demotlj I know what You mean, but we shouldn't be discouraged...try your best, we all are learning and learning never stops, we can get only better.

[ArtofAleksey]

@MichaelaH horsey! Nice touch

[Coley]

@ErinCortese fantastic couches!!

[Coley]

@MichaelaH sweet little barn and horses! I thought about doing a barn as well but haven't yet

[braden H]

@MichaelaH i was struggling on what to do with that little cube attached to the house. I never would have thought of a stable! Nice work

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

You guys make such amazing work. I wish I was a part of this.
