Starting to learn shading. ✍️

Tried to really separate out the form light, form shadow, terminator, cast shadow, core shadow, reflected light, half tones, center light, highlight, ambient light, ambient occlusion, and penumbra.

Sacrificed a bit of realism but this was a studying exercise. So not too worried there.

All part of the learning journey. 🤓

Had a lot of fun. On to the next! 🙌

Head construction practice. Left all of the guide lines and ‘mistakes’ in.

It’s been fun working through Michael Hampton’s course.

Lots of mistakes but that’s only that much more to learn from.

Onward!

Practicing some head construction.

Left in the foundational lines as well as any ‘mistakes’.

Lots to learn still but having a fantastic time working through Michael Hampton’s head construction course.

On to the next!

A couple of sketches made with a combo of pencil, fine liner pen, and brush pen.

Sketch made with a fine liner pen. Ref was from Pinterest scrolling.

Tried not to overthink it. Just kept the pen moving.

On to the next!

Working through Michael Hampton’s “Intro to Figure Construction” course (over on Proko).

Was a little rusty at first but all the mistakes are only opportunities to learn and get better!

On to the next!

Out of practice. Definitely had to do some #gesturedrawing warm ups to get back in the groove.

What’s your drawing warm up routine?

One minute gestures as part of a warm up.

Some gesture drawings from imagination. Was an interesting study trying to work without references. Had a lot a fun. Onward!

Some gesture studies pulling from a range of inspirations. Was a very fun study session and I learned a lot. On to the next!
