Hey everyone!
For all the time I've had today, I only did half of what I had been planning to do. At least I'm very efficient at procrastinating.
Mostly some figure drawing, some practising heads and some sketching... and I started assignment 3 of Nathan Fowkes' Environment Design. The assignment is about designing an environment specifically for a certain mood, and also seperately show an asset from that environment that represents the mood best.
I just kind of gave up half the way. I really need to learn not to get discouraged by big challenges. Gotta try again tomorrow. (the mood I was trying to convey was "ominous"... yeah)

hoo hoo! somebody likes C curves <3! Try making a drawing with only angles ;)
@ Fedodika: Oh man, I never really thought about that particular habit of mine. Thank you, great idea to practise that! I tried making a little, angular sketch for today... and it's so hard not to make soft curves out of everything.

And also, I forced myself to continue on the environment design. It's still very weird, but I'll leave it like that before I spend a week on 1/5th of an assignment.
(And then I put the digital filter "burlesque" on it, which probably did not help at all, but oh well.)

Aand another random sketch, gesture drawing and facial anatomy (loomis) studies.

Nice progress here TinDeer :).
If you're learning enviro's maybe check out Amit's EDR thread - it's finished but the class materials are still available and you can read through his previous critiques to glean useful tips:

Keep it going :)
@ Artloader: Thank you! :) And it's great to know about the thread, if I have time I'll be sure to give those assignments a go.

I finally managed to finish assignment 3 of environment design! It was to think off a mood/emotion (I'll note that above the drawing) and design one landscape and one prop according to that. For most of them, I really didn't know what I was doing to be honest
Next assignment is to make a portfolio piece (in value) out of one of them. I think I'll take "ominous".

finally finished the assignment. phew.
I decided to make the painting about a shrine to the gods of harvest, that betrayed the people by... making terrible weather.
Nice going tinDeer :) I like your use of values - are these from Amit's EDR class? Good stuff!
On that last piece - maybe you could have added some reflected light on the foreground shapes?
Keep it going anyway!
