Still life
I finished the still life! Here it is. I learned a lot from this one… mainly that achieving better contrast requires a lot of confidence. Mine is growing! But I feel like this is way better than I would have been able to do in the past. I struggled most with the butterfly, which is the part I’d want to improve…getting all those…

Still here
I’ve been at this course forever and haven’t posted in a while, but here’s my before and after eye!
I’ve never drawn before, but I feel like my understanding of the techniques has improved. The first time, I just tried to follow the steps but didn’t know enough to be able to self-correct, so the whole thing went off the rails. 😅 By then, I…

100% better drawing very good 👏

Ekua, this is more than just a better eye. The first drawing shows you learning the process, but the second shows you beginning to think like an artist. You noticed what was going wrong, made decisions, and stayed with the drawing until it came together. That ability to self-correct will help you far beyond this exercise. I’m really looking… Read more

Textures
I’ve been moving slowly through the course and just finished the section on textures. Here are my attempts 😅 Some went well, others were a struggle. But I’m very much enjoying the process and seeing all the amazing work here.

Hello Ekua how are you?
I like the Stone and the Fur very much. Those Textures are bit complicated.
I`m Doing 2 or 3 times each one. Just to be sure.

Kettle and cherries
Hi everybody! 👋 so I’ve been working on this class for a while and have enjoyed it SO much… as well as seeing the amazing artwork here… thank you, Ali! You’ve really inspired me to keep trying to push through challenges. Here are a couple of the assignments I finished (whew)! Does anyone have any suggestions? Right now I’m struggling…

Very well done Ekua. Just keep on keepen on. As you continue on with the exercises, Ali explains how and shows you how to deal with contrasts, shading and realistic details. It is an awesome and rewarding experience.
I personally find it very beneficial to do an exercise a second time if I am not satisfied with my first result. My second…

Hi Ekua 😊 welcome to the community
Really nice work here. The kettle looks smooth and your cherries have good form 🙌 You’re right about contrast. Try pushing your darkest areas a bit more. That will make everything pop instantly
Also watch edges. Keep some sharper where the form changes quickly. And yes, the leaf is slightly dark. You can lift… Read more2- View 1 reply
