So finally...
And hopefully not too late, I am finally joining @beekart 's Art School in Week 2 with some completed homework! Thank you for hosting this, I think this is a wonderful initiative, and I hope to learn a lot from it!
Homework exercise 1: Blind Contours
These contours are really fun to do, and I've always loved Posemaniacs as a referencing tool. Apart from giving me some better perspective on negative space, it also helps to sharpen up my drawing skills (especially on drawing tablet).
Homework exercise 2: Simplification!
These were lots of fun and hellishly tough at the same time, although they were quite satisfying to complete, and really made me look at the shapes that form on a face. My first one (the female) did however end up looking like she will eat your soul... scary stuff. 0.0
All-in-all this was an awesome experience and I urge anyone that reads this to join the Art School, it's free and you can really learn some valuable stuff here!
Thank you for reading!
Comments, questions and critiques are always welcome.
