I tried to draw Neil Gayman.
Yesterday, I uploaded #53 but it’s not here. I don’t know what happened or if they are going to upload it later, as with #49, which has been uploaded twice.

Your drawings are very impressive! You handle so many different mediums well and you really capture individual characteristics. I especially like the last two posts. You seem to be drawing solids instead of lines which really emphasizes the structure. I look forward to seeing more of your work!

[Myriam]

Thank you so much, Jan. Your message is very encouraging and kind. I am not feeling very motivated now so it’s been really nice to read your message. 🙂🙏🏼

Quick sketch of this British guy who teaches English on the internet. He has a YouTube channel/website called “I swear English”.

This is my dad, but he doesn’t like it.

I’ve just uploaded #57 but something has happened. It went to the Dark side. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great work Myriam! Love 44 and 51.  Those two have a Mucha aesthetic to them

[Myriam]

Thank you, AJ! Very kind!

Myriam,

 

If possible could you light your drawings better when photographing them? It can be hard to appreciate the tones without the photos being dialed in.

 

I’d like to see more modeling of the interior (not out contours) of the form. I think you’re taking the Notan idea far but you need to now focus more on the Chiaroscuro side of it. So clear light and shadow side. Clear terminator/core shadow. Reflected light optional.

More drawings like that will help!

Hi, Joshua! Thanks so much. I needed some clear direction. 🙂 I’ll try what you say in the following drawings, from #59 on. Hope you tell me what you think!
(I thought I was lighting well the drawings, 😐 sorry)

 

[Myriam]

#57, again.

This is what I uploaded yesterday. It’s not finished, but anyway… its a rather quick sketch of this guy, I don’t know why I chose him.
