Say you observe something up to a say 40% accuracy, then you do five other studies up to 40% accuracy, you're not pushing your observation as much as you could by really getting into the minutia of the subject.
Like the spider thing on the far right, are those the best boxes you can draw? Can you draw through the form? Or the figures, what did you learn from that? I dont think you should worry too much about texture right now and painting, just focus on structure and making nice forms; that'll get a lot further. Then if you study material and painting just make a sphere and light it with that material and you can focus in on making a simple form lit that way
Yes, I entirely agree to everything!
As I mentioned in the description, I've gotten very rusty at my observation-construction skills;
Half a year ago I finished most of the Drawabox challenges, I got pretty good at the end, but that was a long time ago,
clearly I need to re-practice.
Yep, I shouldn't worry about color at this stage;
Like I mentioned, this is the first time I did studies of this kind digitally, I was tempted to jump straight to the colors (I basically skipped the line drawing phase) and see how it will go.
I got Overwhelmed be all of those details, so instead of actually learning anything, I turned into a copy-machine.
At least I learned my current limits!
Yep, the ball-approach to texture would probably be the best way for me to learn textures.
Today I finished watching Cntrl Paint's gallery, so I'm thinking of moving on to some Light n' Shadow/Rendering Class made by SVS or Schoolism sometime soon.
Thanks for the Critique!
