Hi everyone!
Hereโs the time lapse video of my yesterdayโs painting. You can check the shorter version (30s) or longer (5min+).

Hi guys!
Hereโs a portrait study I made today. Itโs not the same as the portraits I painted so far because I always start with a sketch. This picture is made with big forms from the start. If youโre interested I can post the time lapse with the (sometimes funny looking) process ๐
This new type of study was great for me today because I needed some distraction. Iโm so nervous about the course release! ๐ I know that worrying in advance is neither healthy nor necessary...

I am very excited because this is the first time I went through this process very thoroughly.

This is another topic that I learned about during the Concept Art classes. As you know, characters can be drawn in different ways and here is one of them: boxes and tubes. I personally prefer boxes, but try it and see for yourself ๐

1. My favorite Ghibli characters: Chihiro, Kaonashi (No-face), Totoro and Susuwatari. ๐ป
2. A girl with smeared mascara (and lipstick). I chose to draw a girl from โLove, death and robots" - I like how it turned out ๐คโ ๏ธ๐ค

Hello my dear Potato Angels! ๐งก
Here is another topic that I started exploring recently in Concept Art classes. I'm not advanced on caricatures yet, but I wanted to share with you some first tips and my experiences. ๐ฉฐ I'm also adding worksheets, which can help you a little bit in your first steps with caricatures. Maybe you will even try to add some to the 100 heads challenge? ๐

Sorry for posting rarely lately. Iโm working on illustrations for a new book ๐ But donโt worry, I remember about you and all the plans for this months content ๐

Hi guys! โจ
I am trying to return to drawing daily after a break. I wanted to use Prismacolors but didn't want to overwhelm myself with a long drawing process soooโฆ I'm trying to create a much faster way to draw with crayons. For this purpose, I used only 3-4 colors. At the end I added a simple background with gouache.
What do you think? ๐ค
