@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen I see a marked improvement from the previous one. What is robo bean?
-
@Amber-Lynn-Benton I'm doing the Proko Figure Drawing class. There are different segments. You start with gestures, the bean, the main points of the body (can't think of the name right now.) If you know what the bean is, it's a simple representation of the form of the torso and pelvic area. You use it to help to get the right shape (hard to explain) for the action a figure is doing. Anyway, the robo bean is similar but you make boxes for the upper torso, a separate one for the bottom. For me, it's been challenging but, I just need to do a lot more of them.

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen That is all new to me. I’ve heard will talk about the bean in a general way but not this specifically. Figure drawing is on my radar but I’m trying to complete the foundation courses first.

Day 8: Glass Catfish, I loved doing this one!

@Amber-Lynn-Benton Yes, that's a good plan. I have mixed things up according to my projects. A friend asked me to draw some of her family in their game characters. I did the first attempt and realized I really didn't know how to draw a figure well at all! I usually do cartoony things. I did some research on different sites and figured a few things out and worked my way through them. I wasn't being paid so I felt less pressure to have them perfect (except I did still want them to be as perfect as I was able). I decided to buy the class. I'm glad I did. Still have a lot to master but every bit helps. I've also found some other really good youtube videos, etc. that help. One I watched the other day was by Alphonso Dunn (I think I got that right). He was explaining the bones and how the muscles attach to them. I will watch that again.

Day 9: California Sheepshead

Okay, this one is definitely not a finished product but I wanted to get something up. I am still sick and getting ready to travel tomorow so I decided to stop here and just post as is. You can see I was trying t use the robo bean underneath. Next posts for awhile will probably be quick ink doodles just because I will be in a car and or hotel and hopefully having all kinds of fun out and about with my grandson and daughter!

Hi All!
I would love some feedback/suggestions for improvement on this WIP.
Thanks so much!

@KC I'm a newbie so maybe take my advice with a pinch of salt but I feel like the emphasis should be more on the fish's expression. At the moment, the star fish is so saturated that all my attention goes to that first. Maybe desaturate the starfish a bit and saturate the fish's head a bit more?
I really like it though. It's really sweet

@andersoncarman These are all so cool!!!!

@KC This is super cute. One thing that would help would be to lose the "elbow" on the jellyfish, instead, let it hang loose in a curve so that it doesn't feel rigid. I am a little curious about the story? why is a fish wearing a diving suit?
