Hey guys,

this week I did some Homework for @beekart´s wonderful Artschool-Project.
Like last week, this weeks theme is "Negative Space".

For this week Rogier has a few extra exercises that will help us get better at drawing faces / portraits and finding likeness!

Exercise 1 - Negative Space

The Exercise:

Just like last week! Please do some blind contours from poses on posemaniacs.com or other pose-photos.
I would be happy if you did 4 I would be super happy if you did 8 .. And I will send you 1 SBD if you 12!

So let´s do this :)

Exercise 2 - Simplification

Please take at least 3 portrait photo’s and simplify them like I did here ^

Okidoki, I´ll try ^^

First Portrait:

Second Portrait:

Third Portrait:

Fourth Portrait:

That´s it for now.

I hope Rogier is satisfied with my homework for this week.
It really was fun doing, and I have the feelng I´ve learned a lot.

Join the fun and do your homework too! :)

Have a nice day and steem on!

Cheers,
@w0olf

Hey mate! Thank you for participating! :)

All the exercises look great, exactly how I hoped it would turn out..
Your aren't leaving much room to critique really! :D

So here I'll go nitpicking..
The blind contours are 1on1 almost.. i don't know how you did that.. you must've done this before?
If you haven't ur insane and you must probably challenge urself more by doing them in 1 continuous line without looking at your sketchbook.(would love to see you do these on paper too.)

The simplification of shapes on the face are great, i do see a few value grouping that i think aren't as close to one another but with the moving gifs it is hard to see.. i do see that you understand the concept / exercise which is nice! People who participate in this week could take a look at your post here and see how its done! So i'm sure this is helpful to others!

Again, thanks for participating!
I'll send you that 1SBD asap! ;)

Happy newyear!
Cheers

Oh I used to do a lot blind contours in Art School years ago. We needed that to understand room and perspective for drawing and sculpting. ;) So I'm not insane 😄
But like I said it's years ago.

After new year I will do a few traditional ones In my sketchbook. It's a great exercise and I realized I missed this kind of warm-up.

The simplification of the faces is something new to me, and it's really helpful to try not seeing a face, but only the shapes of light and shadow.

Thanks for this great Art school series @beekart. Looking forward to the next lesson.

Happy New Year to you too Rogier!

Cheers,
Wolf
