Thank you, Mimi for you course!

I adore your style and your art! 

Just like you, I was into fine art all my life. And also had to choose "a serious job" - an engineer, that never actually work. The only positive part - for 5 years I attended a children Art school, as after-school program. 

I am not new to all of these topics, but like you mentioned - I didn't have a structure with all the classes I take. Currently, I am at the place where I could follow lessons and draw/paint what is being taught (I think!), but at a loss when it comes time to do it on my own. Not mentioning to develop my own style! 

I appreciate you taking time and effort to compile all your knowledge in one place. 

So far, as I was watching the beginning of the course, I made a blocking and shape/copy the picture on a piece of paper. I scanned it, so my sketch is a bit too light. 

I will continue. Excited to learn  more!

P.S. And here I am - the course is over... I loved the course and liked to take it at a slower speed. I would watch the lesson and think on it for a while. I like this approach, I do need time to digest the info.

Thank you for the links and helpful .pdf file.

Thank you for the course, Mimi! In a short duration you covered a lot of ground. Now, it's my time to dig deeper and practice!

So far, block-in and tonal value studies - are my favorites!

 

Lesson 23. Portrait.

Lesson 20. Head basics. 

Lesson 18. Mine looks slightly different and my color adjustment is not too far away from Mimi’s. I used a strange brush, so it would change sometimes my colors. Need to choose a solid texture brush next time.

 Finished Lesson 14. Eucalyptus branch in color. I noticed my tendency to draw everything larger - the scale and proportion problem!

 Working on 5 value study. It was fun. I really liked how the Billy balls turned out! The camper was a bit more challenging. I often used a desaturated image for reference.

Block-in your picture was very challenging, took me quite a while to finally say - it's looks good enough.

This wasn’t too bad, but you still could see lots of adjustments. I love the picture of these “Billy balls”.Was practicing Red Robin on paper. Just something that was laying on my desk.
