@Fedodika, hm, maybe I understood you incorrectly. When you said you'll give me feedback on my figures from imagination I thought you're talking about figure drawing/gesture drawing. So I disagree with you guys, I don't think it's time to create any tight paintings yet. Why? Because my fundamentals suck. I still don't know anatomy enough (I only went through the upper body, no arms no legs yet). Drawing the head from imagination is still a far stretch, and especially hands. Not to mention clothes and other objects which I have no idea how they look/function (guns, swords, still life objects?!). How would I know how to draw them from imagination without studying them first?! That doesn't make sense to me. Why would I try to finish something that I haven't even begun to understand?
I've been doing these drawings more intensively in just the last 2-3 weeks and I think it's working ok for me. You know, I was listening to FZD some time ago and there's one thing he keeps reinforcing and that is: you got to know your fundamentals first! And that'e exactly what I'm working on now. Perspecitve, anatomy, next will be light & color, design & composition, kind of in that order.
To that end I decided to go over the "from cube to cathedral" class here in the mentoring subforum and proko, I'm kind of doing these together, though the focus is on proko for now. And soon I want to start doing the homeworks I saw at http://charleslin.tumblr.com/, someone else on this forum had the idea - I stole it :).
What got me here is that I saw my figure drawing being improved quite a bit following poko's vids, plus my lack of ability to actually create finished pieces. I don't post here everything I do you know... I did try finishing some stuff, result? I have no idea what I'm doing so I decided on this more structural approach, like in school. I wonder how many 1st year students at FZD are asked to you know go and struggle to finish pieces instead of working on their fundamentals :).
Hope that explains it all :P
