Sabby Gracia

Just finished 2.1 and 2.2! Enjoying it a lot! Still a bit iffy about where to put shadows but I guess that comes with practice :D

JP
Jessica Paton
Certified 21 Draw teaching assistant

Hi Sabby!

It looks like you’re doing great so far! I particularly like how soft your blending looks.

Here are some suggestions to help with shadow placement:

  • The area where the light hits directly will be the lightest. If you accidentally make it too dark, you can gently erase parts to bring back some of the white of the paper.

  • The shadows fall on the opposite side to the light. If the light is hitting the top, the shadows will be below. If the light is coming from the right, the shadows will be on the left. You can draw lines from the light-source to the object to help visualize where they should be.

Look at objects in your everyday life and just try to observe what the shadows are doing. Drawing the things around you is a fun way to practice, too. 🙂

You have done well with these. Nice work!

Show moreI really liked to do. My take on the Castle, Flying Saucer, Cool Koalas, and the One Point Perspective Room. I love to add extra details and invent small stories inside the pictures.

JP
Jessica Paton
Certified 21 Draw teaching assistant

Hello Jan-Olaf!

We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the course! All the little details you've added created a lot of extra fun and joy to the drawings.

If you wish to keep working on the castle drawing, there are some small changes you could make to the perspective on the towers.

To find the angle for the curved lines you would draw the tower as if it was a square-shaped tower first, using the perspective lines in the same way you did for the rest of the castle.

After that you draw a circle that fits inside the square formed by the perspective lines. From here you can use that circle as a guide for the rest of the curves.

You have done an excellent job with all of these and have applied every technique that you learned very well. Keep up the good work!

Getting back to the basics is indeed the best and fastest way to improve the way you look at things in order to replicate them on paper. I wish you luck in your improvement journey!

Hi!

Thank you for sending in your painting! This is incredible work. The subject is beautiful and your use of color is mind-blowing!

You could maybe try to have the hair on the chin flow in more various and natural directions. Even with the head clearly in motion within the scene and the hair following in the same direction, I think there could be a little more variation.

You can check out the attachments for a more visual explanation!  I hope you’ll find them helpful!  Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any more questions and I wish you a beautiful day!

Quek Jae Sern (Jae)
Certified 21 Draw teaching assistant

Hey Nadia,

I’m glad that you’re having fun with the course. Don’t worry, the three-dimensional drawings are typically the most complicated. I think the issue that you’re having here is that the initial block you drew is more of a cuboid than a cube. The starting cube will influence the final look of the drawing.

In your drawing, I’m noticing that your block needs to be slightly taller to make it a cube. Once you have a good starting point, you can use grids to influence the proportions of your I. If you keep the spacing between each guideline the same, you will get a uniform looking I, and if you use varying spacing, you will get a dynamic looking I.

I made a short GIF to illustrate the step by step. Check it out below.

I hope this helps and all the best with the rest of the course!

Quek Jae Sern (Jae)
Certified 21 Draw teaching assistant

Hey there Kim,

Nice spheres! I think you did a really good job with the shading. Remember that there are many ways you can shade an object and hatching is just a stylized form of shading.

If you want smoother shading, my tip would be to make your darkest areas darker. By doing this, you are widening the range of values that you can work with. With a wider range of values, every change will feel a little less abrupt and you will be able to achieve a more gradual looking shadow!

You can look at my example below.

I hope that helps and enjoy the rest of the course!

How does lifetime access sound?

After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this bundle for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.

Inside the program you have access to all the resources files and teaching assistants to answer any question you may have.

Are these online or live courses?

Can't I learn all of this on Youtube?

Youtube is a fantastic resource with more free tutorials than any individual is capable of watching on improving your art skills.

But a side effect of only learning on Youtube is that you'll waste dozens of hours learning the same thing, searching for tutorials only to find partial answers and not having precise exercises designed to help you truly learn the skills you're after.

The classes in our bundle are approachable for absolute beginners and has advanced techniques for those with more experience.

If you have no art experience whatsover or struggle to draw a basic character, I strongly recommend taking my classes.

All classes are available in English (original narration) and most have dubbed narration in Spanish, French, Italian, German, & Portuguese.

Subtitles are available for all course in the following languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese & Indonesian.

Who is 21 Draw?

Since 2013 in numbers:
  • 70k strong community
