Group run through creative environment design week 3 art and feedback

@Coley Hope you don't mind, I did a little draw over of one of your pictures. You're doing a good job for the most part. I would just suggest maybe going ahead and drawing out a few perspective lines to help you line things up.

Hope this helps. Also, if you haven't already, I would suggest that you watch the class by Jake Parker about perspective.

[Coley]

@Buddy-Skelton I don't mind , thanks so much! I am quite appreciative I started Mastering Perspective course but haven't gotten very far into it, it's on my list to get through! I did struggle with the back of the couch and the arms. I guesstimated the middle of the couch..........I should have known to use the x trick as I did do Will's perspective course. I need a lot more practice and help such as this. Thanks, it is a learning opportunity for me

[Coley]

@Aleksey thanks! I think you are right on the roof and the ladder. I appreciate the comment

My “couch.” What I learned from this one is that I hate drawing furniture. My characters will have to sit on bean bag chairs.

[Erin.Cortese]

@demotlj Very cool design, and nice crosshatching!

[murielle]

@ErinCortese I have no words... okay maybe some... THIS IS SO COOL.

I hate drawing furniture

I'm so happy you said that. Everyone draws these amazing sofas, yours as well by the way, and my mind goes completely blank.

I had this idea of drawing a comic where my character lives in this cute tiny house... While doing this exercise I realized that he can't own anything and will probably live on the floor. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

[Erin.Cortese]

@murielle Wow, thank you!

[Susan Marks]

@murielle These have all been so inspiring here-and with yours I am now starting to see how they will help you and others make great environments. (It was a head-slapping "dah" kind of realization...)

[demotlj]

So I also drew a barn and silo as @Coley did (great minds think alike) but mine looked so similar that I decided to try a new one and did this space rocket launch pad. I don’t know if it strains the definition of “building” too far but it was something I’d never attempted before as is obvious from some obvious structural problems. I’ve added an overlay of the assignment so you can see that I did at least adhere to the lines.

[murielle]

I officially gave up on the sofa design. But I tried to put in some work on the other building. I'm just not feeling it.
With the houses, I still felt it was related to work I wanted to do, and I felt more motivated to give that a try.

I don't like this design and I can see so many mistakes (perspective and all), but it's all I got.

[Heather Boyd]

@murielle did you use any references? Can you show them?

[murielle]

@Heather-Boyd Yes and no. I used the reference below, but it was only as inspiration. I wanted the 'open' areas to be windows. Like an office building.

[Coley]

@demotlj I think it looks great! I'm no expert on perspective but it looks good to me. From dairy barn to rocket.... Maybe the first cow in outer space? seriously though, it looks structurally sound to me and a good image.

[murielle]

Hey everyone, I'm going to take a break from these exercises. I'm short on time, and since I'm really not happy with my results on this exercise I want to redo them. I had hoped to get a lot more out of this then I did.

I will pick up again when my crazy schedule dies down.

[JerrySketchyArt]

Work got me a bit behind last week, but hopefully I can catch up. Here's my hut.

[JerrySketchyArt]

@murielle Nothing wrong with a redo! Good luck on them. You can always join us in the Discord server if you want to talk more and get extra feedback.

[braden H]

Sorry I couldn't reply to anyone until now! The amount they charge for wifi at comic conventions is utterly criminal (200 bucks for 4 days) and my data plan suuuuuuuuuuucks.

But now I'm caught up! So much awesome work

I'll be posting week 4 sometime tomorrow!

[braden H]

So many awesome designs!

Week 4 work and such is up!
