You’ve got a great rythm and gesture to your drawing. It is incredibly pleasing to look at your work!

Started a Watercolour journal for quick paintings. This is the first page, feels good to have a sketchbook just for experimenting with colour.

@Jan , Thank you very much! ^^

I tried my hand at a great exercise for anyone stuck on a certain subject matter. Simply do a bunch of simple drawings of the smaller parts ortographically and then try make another one from imagination from any perspective. I’ve always wanted to draw Samurai but think their armours have way too many details, so this is what I started with in CSP:

Then after a few loose thumbnails, I painted this in gouache:

Quick preparatory cloud-studies for a larger piece I’m making. The main point of these was to capture the feeling, colour and composition.

Your drawings are really beautiful! Im keen to see more of your painting aswell, you seem to get a good feel and values on the few ones you have painted.

 

Looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks Jerry! The above sketches are in digital, which is my main tool. But I am working a lot in traditionally with brush pen, marker and gouache right now to transfer those skills over to digital later. So you’re half-right. 😉
I’ll bear in mind the plane-pointers, thanks for the feedback! Im working on a large project involving planes so any help is useful!

Speaking of which: A couple of pages in Brush Pen and Ballpoint. Random sketches to constructional drawing and some figure drawing.


And some gouache-studies to cap it off.

@Natasha: Thank you for your kind words! It is a great course thus far and its starting to feel less daunting to draw animals.

Some more felines, house cats and bobcats. I decided to have a little fun and experimented with different ways to drawing them to incorporate some style-exploration with the course-work.

And just because the course has moved on doesn’t mean I get to forget about horses! Here’s a bigger drawing I made for fun and to incorporate what I’ve learned. Im thinking of doing some imaginative work with horses too, hope everyone is as stoked as I am.

Moving on to cat-animals! First off, some Cougars

Thank you  Joshua! Will do, I’ve also already booted up a thread documenting my progress on one of the courses.

After that, I did my own sketches. Trying to internalize everything of the lecture with the Tombstone-shape for the horse’s chest etc…
Also tried studying the skeleton to find some more useful shapes.
