Hello everyone!

I absolutely loved this class. It is exactly what I needed. I have always drawn my portraits so realistically and I never liked the result. Now I can really relax and just have fun drawing people. I can't wait to draw many more of them.

But first, let me share with you my hairstyle exercise. I decided to try drawing shirts as well. Fun with figures! - image 1 - student project After that, I have drawn many stick figures and I am sharing my 2 favorites here. The first one I made was this one below. I like the hair color with when I checked with the black Saturation layer, the contrast seems to be too light so I changed the hair for a darker color. Fun with figures! - image 2 - student project

What do you think of this brown instead? Better? Fun with figures! - image 3 - student project

After that I painted this character. I imagined a painter in her studio. Fun with figures! - image 4 - student project

I have also made this GIF

What do you think?

For the class project, I choose the prompt

Sweater
Messy Bun
Coffee

Here is my character!

Between the three characters I have drawn, which one is your favorite? Mine is the second one, the painter. I realise that I like characters with round dot eyes and when they are even more minimalist than my last portrait. That last one feels to detailed for me. Do you agree?

Thanks for your input!

Now, I'll have to practice drawing men and children :)
