hi
yesterday i did these, masters studies,
i did not stick them in the right order, i made the figure first. i had taken pictures before finishing it

the copy of mutcha's portrait, at a later time

before the figure, on the figure I was more.

last weeks I had mostly seen comics artists that maybe I remembered, to see them again or rediscover them, lately I had seen some drawings of the masters of the Renaissance and then I had happened on call collection, links on collections of online works were perhaps by Russian artists and not figures, and then I had seen 30 figures (I think of Russian artists), I tried one, I don't know an artist, I realized after that it was a figure of more than one meter and twenty, it was written on it but it was not English but here were the numbers .



portrait instead was from mutcha,

I used a white photocopy sheet, original, it was brown or dark gray, maybe I had to color everything,

I don't know if I should have made it bigger, this attempt is about one hand
 
portrait from photo
a5, pencil, I don't know if about 2 hours.

for beard I was trying dots but I didn't like the result and I tried like the rest.

When I make faces with a mechanical pencil, it is always, almost, as if it were the first time, the shading,

in the last few days I have drawn 2 times,
from photos, the cat, and fruit from life.
I like the result of the cat, maybe because it is a funny photo even if while I was drawing this, it was one of the times when I felt melancholy, regrets rather than relaxation ..
in both I had taken photos even before finishing, it is difficult to understand when to finish with shading so taking more photos I can remember various steps, to try to understand, best time, error,
or if I stain or ruin the paper or fold it, I can still see it

hi,good weekend ,
edit, I deleted a couple of photos, they were similar.
fruit were medlars, in recent years my favorite, first taste of this year.
 
hi, I bought this. the markers, the other one I already washed.
they didn't even cost much and I was curious to try some markers (with markers it seems convenient as a first attempt) and
however this same pen, always 0.3 a couple of times I have had and used.
the number of colors is not numerous, but I have this aquarelli miniset that I got 2 years ago, and I haven't used it yet. maybe some color or all, I add it from here.
maybe i'd like to try asterix, or something like that, maybe skin color, i don't have pink. between these.

watercolor has always intrigued me, even if I was not sure to try colors but 2 or 3 years ago I could not resist the box of pencils and gadots in the photo, it was about 6 euros.
even if a few days before I had already decided to buy watercolors, half gadots, 24 colors and a little better for quality.

only thing, I hadn't thought that for watercolors the paper is more specific (I already had canson album C4, Liscio, 20 Sheets, 200 G / Mq),
more particular paper than the one you could use for graphite or maybe even acrylics or gauche (gauche since I saw it also attracts me a lot, once I had seen a set that was cheap but h opensato that I was already accumulating, etc a lot, I hadn't thought about paper, but above all I should have asked first as a color what was easier for absolute beginners, on what to start, if watercolor or gauche or acrylic, oil as well as difficulty, having little space and not very airy I don't think it's good apart from difficulties).
as paper then I had smooth cardboard paper (as written above).
at the end of 2019 I took 2 a4 albums, also cheap, in which it is written in watercolor, but I had bad bed, he says slightly watercolor, in fact it is not high weight, as well as not being cotton.
In my opinion Richard Pryor is always right (he also owns the film Who spends more ... more earns! (Brewster's Millions))
then in the end I then got a better album A3 XL 300GR 30H CANSON MIX MEDIA. (maybe a3, just with this medium intimidates, maybe cut in half, I don't know)
eventually I would use the slightly water-soluble 160 g A4 one first. I don't know though,
doubt is, ok to start with watercolor or other media.
and if it is better to try, start with better paper and watercolors (these are packets closed in a packed box, 1 / 2gadot should be removed from paper and stuck, there is room for water,) or the worst ones.
like brushes or the 2 in the photos and then I also took water brush.



I would use the 3 markers right away, trying them almost everywhere, (like other markers, other brands of materials, I have black and gray, dark gray however, grays were the first colors I liked to use, set of 24 I liked for various colors, there it's gray, pink I don't remember)
more than a post, a question is a delirium, sorry

an hour ago I got the book., gloves not yet but I'm glad I got the book,
it looks great, the draws are wonderful. and it starts with mentioning renaissance masters.
book perhaps has signs of humidity.
but if anything for dust ( maybe little allergic ,) anyway I thought of passing a patch of dust and started translating, reading first pages, the new press in my country seems to have disappeared for 2 months , so happy to have got it, I had to browse through all the drawings right away, nice

Hello Joe,
I have been following along here and I think your progress and efforts are to be admired.
There is no advice I can give as I am not trained or too knowledgeable about drawing, but Arty and Sno are really good mentors.
Regards,
Trier
 
Joe, your last drawings really show progress. The two little heads and the hand holding a cigarette are all very good. Bravo!
 
Artyczar, thank you very much.
Trier, thank you very much for the nice words, I'm glad you think this.

Snoball, thank you very much, I appreciate it so much.
this time I made some drawings from life. the previous ones were from drawings, I hope you like to see them, I have probably tried ha take, however, refer me a little from those. remembrance, a tendency, however, is to do one way, that is, remembrance goes to the things done last.
