Live drawing practice - During my time at college and university, life drawing has helped me when conceptualizing characters, allowing me to create more realistic characters.

I feel the live drawing practice will be useful to quickly conceptualize ideas, and is an area that I should practice more.




Still life practice.

Still life is another area i don't practice often which would help with my concept development. During this still life i found that i took to long on the line work, which meant i had less time on the shading. I think more practice will improve my workflow.


The first exercise i tried was a perspective study, which didn't go well. This was probably because i don't practice perspective often, although i have been taught 1 and 2 point in the past. i found it hard to get the image to the right scale.

I tried a few more perspective drawings, which went better.

A made up street. 1 point perspective

Whitespace. 1 point perspective

One of the main problems i have with perspective is the scale. I found that the overall image is to short, therefore i need to work on my measuring.
