Day 10 - Understanding Ellipses in Perspective and starting irregular shapes Today was delving into Peter Han's dynamic bible and refining my understanding with how cylinders operate in perspective. I still have a ways to go before i can control my hand to make reliable lines

Day 9 - Layering Elements and Forms One problem i noticed was my tendency to layer my elements inconsistently. Often I find that I create a composition by working on background elements first, then gradually coming to the foreground- like painting. However, with these shape

imagination to visualize the forms before I an see them on the canvas. The goals moving forward are to sense the plane in which my subjects occupy without visually denoting it, and then to imagine the simple geometry in them without needing to array them first.

Day 8 - Shape Dynamics This day was about getting more comfortable with drawing shapes that had directionality to them and enough depth to simulate cutting other shapes from them. It's a type of freedom that is less strict than perspective studies, but tests the intuition of my

Day 7 - Male Anatomy This was an exercise i found on twitter, but i dont remember the source sadly. I referenced it and started to flashcard the body parts themselves. I didn't return to this because I felt I didnt understand the structure as much as i'd hoped. Back to Shapes

you look at the day 1-2 attempt without the confidence. I also did some more advanced Graphic Reduction studies, I'm gonna try out some cloth soon after.

up a few tricks during my graphic reduction studies- which allowed me to break down the illustrations into broad shapes to recreate and eventually detail to the level of the book. I also managed to make my first fish eye cube hedron from scratch, which was pretty satisfying when

Day 6: Recreating Bridgman's Constructive Anatomy, GR, and Shape Studies. Today, I opened a bit of George Bridgman's Constructive anatomy and analyzed the maxilla region of the face, mainly pertaining to the eyes. It's a bit more advanced structurally, but I did manage to pick

The books I'm using right now are mostly: Peter Han's Dynamic Bible, Ernest Norling's Perspective Made Easy, and Betty Edward's Drawing with the Right Side of the Brain These are probably the base books i would recommend when starting the endevour of drawing from imagination.

play around more with how circles will interact with space in these perspectives. I also found an interesting painting by Tim Schade on pinterest and did a value study on it. Then I went back to primitive shapes and got a bit bold by seeing if i could do a skill in 2-tone,

Day 5 - More Cubes, Graphic Reduction, and Breaking down complex objects into shaped values I jumped the gun a little bit whilst playing today. I started with the line exercises and resumed thinking about cubes in different angles and perspectives. I also started to

Day 4 - Box, Form and more Graphic Reduction This day was my first plunge into really sitting down just drawing boxes. It was a really sobering reminder that I can visualize all the monsters and creatures, but not understanding the physiognomy or depth they take up stunted me.

Day 3 - Line Exercises and Brief Anatomy Today was a bit of retreading- doing iterative shapes and lines. I also wanted to take a peak at the back muscle anatomy in the meantime too, to flashcard the bodyparts. Nothing too revolutionary.

Day 1-2 - Lines, skulls and Graphic Reduction studies I found that part of my struggle in dissecting a composition was separating it into basic shapes and ideas. The goal for this day was to find primitive shapes and scenes to simplify into absolute two-tone values, then gradually add later on.

Hello. I've been doing studies recently. I'm gonna start posting my timeline of progress. I'm already up to day 40ish, but I'll post them everyday here.

I'm in grad school working on my personal projects, but I do fan art and the sort as well. I mainly follow Project Moon and Arknights content for now.
