Alex's Sketchbook
#1
Hi, I'm a student at the Art Student's League of New York, with around 1.5 years of art experience so far.

Right now, I'm training following Yuhong Ding's self study advice, along with 2 hours of figure drawing from life, and 3 hours cast drawing from life monday-friday, along with some brainstorm / CDA / etc classwork on the weekend.

I want to keep a log of my progress as I move from an amateur into a professional, with the end goal of becoming a splash illustrator. Here's some sketches, and a study, still a long way to go...

Nice studies dude! It's nice to soo someone doing traditional atelier type studies as well as more fantasy stuff.

On the latest sculpture there are a few small differences in size and angles, probably most clearly the shape of the hat is a little different in yours, to be nitpicky. But generally your drawing skills are solid and the value accuracy on it is great, so keep it up!

All i got to say is watch your constrast you could go brighter in the highlight. This feel a bit to mid range. One other thing is take a bit more time to develop the initial sketch if you can take a pause and come back flip the canva and check for proportional anomaly this will give trick your bran in thinking it something fresh it look at and it won't be so hasty to go to work on value. One other thing is let your eye jump from the reference alot more like pick a point and compare to your reference it not much use to look at the image for to long because what you need is to compare against what already inside the canva see if it already going in the right direction if if it starting to get sked by the previous line you put down. When you take a long look at something it as to be a long line .Small detail require more jump between the reference and the copy to accurately place it if you don't have tactic to the madness.

A way i like to think analytically is to divide the picture in 4 quadran with 9 quadran in each of the quadran and then you ask yourself ok where does my detail go to and you have actually a mathematical way to analysis the stroke because now it like a curve on a graphic.I think it a great way to implicate your brain both the right and left hemisphere which have different way to look at thing.

This is already great work.
