    I don’t know it’s my browser or it’s NMA site. The usual tools for me to upload my pictures are gone.
    I posted Day 3 on my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasmine.zhisu.art/
    I’ll post it here as soon as I figure out how.

    I hesitated about joining because 100 day is not a small commitment. On the other hand, 100 days are easy to slip away without much done. I’ll give it a try.

    Goal: Do at least portrait or figure sketch, drawing or painting a day.

    Beautiful drawing! I can feel the passion of the person and the liveliness of the mouse. I don’t think you need white, but you could make some of your darks darker. I suppose some of the shadow areas could match or get close to the value of the mouse’s eye.

    Powerful image! I wonder if the lower part of her face could be darker. Right now there’s a sharp contrast between the jaw and the space below, so the head is a bit hanging there. It seems you have a light source from above front, which works fine for the figure. Do you have to use edge lighting? If so, then maybe the whole front need to be in a darker value.

    I agree with Josseline above. I also wish I could one day paint this well. Great job!

    Lovely piece! Without the frame, I probably would recommend more consideration to the left and top edges, but interestingly, the frame sort of makes it up and completes the work.

    I painted more still-life and landscape in watercolor and acrylic, but I find myself more and more interested in portrait and figure. It will be great to have some feedback.

    I have learned a lot from NMA. Thanks for all the good work.

    Beautiful drawings and paintings. Great line quality in the drawings, so clean so neat. I really like how you give your life drawings a story by creating a background and mood. The bottom right one, there’s a lot going on in the background. Maybe the scene inside the room could use more darker value and lose some details? It may contrast the main figure better that way.

    I am sorry I didn’t make my comments clear. I didn’t mean putting cast shadow on the background. I mean adding some warm color in the cast shadow on the table top, and add some warm color to the background.

    Powerful paintings! I really like them, so much passion and so bold! May I ask if the highlight on the breast in the orange hair one, and the orange red “shadow?” on the thigh in the forest one are intentional? They stand out, but maybe that’s part of your story.

    Wow, I like the story and the art. May I ask what kind of art it is? Is this ink and watercolor or digital?

    Beautiful work! I like the color scheme and the sense of unity. You may consider darken the value of the wood board in the back a bit, especially the part around the table, to push it back even more. It will add some depth. The label behind the glass and the one under the towel need some value change too because they disappear away from the viewer.
