Thank you Susan!! Going through the lectures takes a long time due to the detailed approach to the notes but they will be there to reference for the future. Helps absorb the information better too as I write things down 🙂
Hi Jan! I am so glad I was finally critiqued. I have been patiently waiting for weeks! I need to re-listen to his critique again. (Short term memory here..I am the type that needs to write things down). I am not gonna lie, I feel accomplished that I was able to somewhat get a likeness. However, those eyes were painful 🤣…it took me forever to draw them. I still draw quite slowly so it takes hours to complete things. But I am hoping that will change over the long term at some point. Then Joshua mentioned a pen 🤣. I saw your comment on the live discord chat….I feel safer with a pencil at the moment but at some point (with some drawings, like the eyes) I will need to try in pen. It is going into new unchartered dangerous territory.
I do feel that drawing is getting better after all these studies. There is muscle memory developing slowly. Observation skills developing slowly. Slowly but surely. These master studies have been excellent practice – so much focus on hatching/crosshatching which is what we wanted (away from smudging) – among many things. And everyone posting, putting (good pressure) to try one’s best, forces one out of a comfort zone. You have done amazing with all the assignments and extra credit (the foot was fantastic!). Enjoy your travels (whether for business or pleasure) and I am sure you will do the best you can…sometimes it is difficult to keep up with other things to do. But there will be seasons of this apparently so one can always jump in when ready. I am of the mentality that time flies by super duper fast (especially with a busy schedule) so I will look forward to seeing you back in the trenches soon enough! And we will both get more amazing!
