Hey everyone, it's time for a new post!

Tonight marks the start of a new mini theme, check it out!


Tonight I tried to emulate the feeling of a Windows 98 screensaver, wait, no - that wasn't really the goal. Actually tonight's exercise was all about perspective, except instead of having one or two specific points that the objects within the paper would be aligned with, it was a total free-for-all! I tried to space everything out a bit so that I could understand it all a little more easily, and I'm pretty happy with it overall, but there's a giant cube on the right that I'd love to obliterate. It just kinda looks like three random lines that don't have anything to do with anything else. Oh well, something I know not to do tomorrow.

Well, that's all for tonight! Check back tomorrow to see something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for another update!

Here's the last of my freehand one point perspective exercises!


I'm really happy with the way these turned out, I feel like most of the wiggly bits that were found in yesterday's piece didn't really work their way into this one. This sort of exercise really does wonders for your confidence, I used to look at images like this and be intimidated by them, but know I understand how they're created and they aren't so scary anymore!

Well that's all for today, check back tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for something new!

Today's the start of a new mini theme, have a look.


This was my first attempt at drawing one point perspective freehand, I think it turned out alright! The last panel on the right's a little off, but other than that everything else looks really good. I really think all of the exercises prior to this helped a lot to make the results here successful, I'm really excited to apply all of the things I learn to my own art, but I'm gonna focus on being studious for now!

That's all for today, check back tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for a new post!

This mini theme was a little short, I only did two of these pieces, here's the final one!


I like the way these turned out, everything's looking pretty good, except for one little mistake in the bottom left. As you can see, that little cube's a skosh disturbed because one of its sides is a bit caddywhompus. Can't forget to pay attention when you're using a ruler, otherwise adorable little cubes suffer.

Well that's all for tonight, tomorrows update's gonna be really interesting! I'll be working on the same thing, but it'll all be freehand! Check back to see how it turns out.

Hey everyone, it's time for a new post!

Tonight marks the start of a new mini theme, take a look!


Let me just start off by saying that I have actively avoided doing anything perspective related for an immense amount of time, there's a simple reason for this - I hate it! I hate it so much that I could shout it from the rooftops, spray paint it on the side of my car, or do both of those things! It mostly comes from a lack of understanding of perspective, which is why this exercise was really useful. I just had to take my time, keep a ruler in place (I've always had trouble with that), and draw some lines. Thanks to doing all that this was the result, and it's a result I'm pretty happy with!

Well that's all for tonight, check back tomorrow for something new!

Hey everyone, it's time for another update!

Here's the last of my funnel ellipse exercises.


I tried to really add a whole bunch of ellipses in there, and I also keep them much closer together, I think these turned out really well! My one critique would be the lines in the center of the funnel shapes are a little bit crooked, I kept putting my hand on the spiral side of the notebook for some reason, so that caused a bit of wiggling. Oops.

Well that's all for these exercises, and this post, check back tomorrow for a new mini theme!

Hey everyone, it's time for another update!

Here are my funnel ellipse exercises!


I think these turned out nicely, there a lot tighter than yesterday's, and that was really how they were supposed to look. I also forgot to denote the center point with a line, so I corrected that error today.

Well that's all for today, check back tomorrow for something new!
