my responses to prompts #1 (repost)
I did the exercises from the first prompts.
This is a page with more or less proportional stick figures in various positions and movements.
For the expressions practice I picked two of these seven emotions to draw: confident, uncertain, frustrated, hurt (emotionally), flirtatious, mischievous, and tired. So, can you guess which ones I picked?
Personally, I rather like how the first one turned out, the second not so much (one of the eyes looks really weird), but I decided to post rather than to fret too long.
For the third exercise, i.e. practicing visual memory, I picked five complex objects, first drawing them from memory, then looking at references and drawing them again. I chose to draw a beach chair, an electric drill, a turntable, a microscope, and a hole puncher. I c&p'ed all sketches into one image for easier posting, the first attempts on the left, the ones after looking at references on the right.
This silhouette practice is sort of fanart. I had Nightwing jumping around in Gotham in mind (or maybe Blüdhaven, what with the lack of gargoyles). I did the pencil drawing and then inked it in GIMP and added a fire escape and roof background that's vaguely based on a simplified, inked version of two combined photos:
Finally I tried the texture practice, taking a ball and trying to make it look like different materials, but with pre-inking in mind, i.e. they are supposed to work as b/w rendering. The success varied:
(As for what the materials were supposed to be, the first column, top to bottom: some kind of shiny chrome, wood (that really sucked), rough stone, furry (I was kind of thinking of Tribbles), and grungy metal; the second column: some kind of pebble structure (I was thinking of the Thing, to be honest), something moldy, transparent glass, old leather, smooth but cracked stone; and in the third column: something soft and woolly, and I'm actually not sure what the last was supposed to be, I wanted to make it look like felt or some kind of textile, but well--)
Concrit is very welcome.
