thanks Vera, you might want to take Ben Fenske’s landscape course. It has lots of good information about thinking about landscape and how to approach it. Also, go out and do plein air. It helps figuring out grouping and stuff like that better than working from photos

[Alex]

took a break for a few days just because Id been going so hard and intense lately. just needed to stop and straighten my head out a bit. anyway, heres another quick constable study.

Day #4

#100 Complete.

did some more perspective today. kept messing up the dukebox demo. Ill probably go back to that one, he does it in a bad order really, who extrudes out a whole design from the smallest part? nobody. anyway, Ill probs set up a brewer grid and try to do it at a larger scale.

Day#100 reflections. Well, tbh it doesn’t feel much like an achievement it just feels like habit to keep practicing and learning every day now. looking back, there’s a lot of improvement. There’s a lot of wasted time as well though, the best part about this challenge is that I’ve figured out what I want to learn, and in what order to do so, where/ how I’m wasting time and how to be more efficient and deliberate in learning. I’m also more comfortable with my ability and feel less anxious about my development, I think if I keep on this trajectory that I will arrive at where I want to be quite quickly.

don’t know whether to start another 100 day challenge or just start a sketchbook blog.

I think I achieved my aims in this challenge, which was basically to study a lot and also try to work often enough for it to become habit and easy to prioritise over other things.

Looks good Jan, so much improvement compared to your first posts!

@janstannard Hi Jan! havent seen you on the forums for a while, hope youre keeping well! Thanks for such kind comments. Unfortunately I still feel very much at the beginning of my learning! :’D I do feel that I have made good efforts and strides in the right direction. Ultimately I decided that I needed to focus on perspective/environments and rendering/colour&light because theres more work for artists who specialise in that. So I stopped studying anatomy for now and made myself a curriculum of content focusing on other more pertinent areas (hopefully this will mean less wasted time). I think I will start another 100 day challenge or a sketchbook forum with more consistency and less gaps, feel a bit guilty for the stop starting and forgetting to post on here.

Youre quite welcome to keep asking my opinions on this or on the new posts. As Oscar Wilde said, the best thing to do with good advice is to pass it on 🙂

#99 another day of perspective.

Just realised today, there is a transcript tab on these lessons! I just didnt see the button! how embarrassing :’D
