Peter's Sketchbook

your poster is looking better for sure, still feels stiff but the hand looks better and the face is better too, maybe youll see that with time.

The black guy drawing is not bad, his torso is a tad short but overall the proportions and mapping are rather good.

The yoni is pretty rough, his jaw should be way fuller, you drew him like a 10 year old with a beard; I think the first drawing of the woman looks ghoulish, generally you wanna hold off on aging lines and try to make them smooth as you can, even older women, unless their age is so charming, you wanna dial it back.

The older man figure pose has a lot of proportion issues and skewing but its an honest effort

Do whatever you did on that black guy, thats working

Sorry for the late reply Fedodika, deiced to take a break from art forums while I was off from work.

Thanks for the feedback :) I decided to go ahead with the poster rather than constantly adjusting it since I'd never finish the damn thing haha.

Man I knew the torso on that drawing seemed odd to me, I was thinking it looked short but my measurements where saying otherwise. Don't get me started on that Yoni. I honestly don't know what the hell happened with it.

Lately I find that I'll have weeks where my work is consistently the same skill wise and then others where it's like I've gone back 10 steps and struggle to draw something basic that I know I can draw. I had it again with the final week of Brian's class. It's almost as if someone else did the drawing. I don't know if it's Burn out or because I'm using a different approach?

In regards to the older woman portrait, I still need to work on knowing when take artistic license with what it is I'm drawing. I feel like I'm stuck in the mindset of drawing exactly what I see. I mean it didn't help that the lighting was casting those shadows on her but I still could of cut some bits out like you said.
