  @Braden-Hallett I've been slowly following along--but do have (most of) this week's assignment done. Still researching the Zebolon Six Marmots-- I'm a bit better at hatching than in drawing straight lines. I hate hatching spheres than many here do. And I know little to nothing about how to draw shadows. It's very inspiring and highly accountable to have these weekly assignments-with-friends.

  @Paula-Morgan Looking at your work you don’t look lost to me. You definitely have a unique style which is HUGE. The one thing I notice is that there is less story telling in your work than your dream portfolio. I think adding some minimal background or accessories to suggest more of a narrative to your pieces would help it feel less sparse. Keep it up!

  Here is some initial line practice on paper I did last night. I'm comfortable with ballpoint pen (And If you follow me on Instagram you can see I use it all the time), so I'm going to do most of my practice from here on with a brush pen. I can see I can work more on my curves. Particularity the long curves. The sensitivity of a brush pen is new, and I will need some consistent practice with it. But overall I'm happy.

  @Heather-Boyd I am definitely all over the place with my tastes. It makes it challenging when people ask "what's your favourite.......?" because I can't find an answer, it'll be different in a week or a month or a year. The movement thing is probably my inner animator Can't really say I'm interested in a specific type of illustration (if you're meaning editorial/children's book/etc). I gravitate to what is visually appealing across any genre or platform. Certainly things that involve character and narrative, so I suppose the aforementioned would be the most fitting.

  @aprilshin Several of us finished up CED course, well some of us are still working on it (I include myself of course) if your interested in viewing and adding your work to the already created threads @Braden-Hallett created for us. As to your lines, they remind me a bit like my own. I am very loose -good for sketches not necessarily for finished drawings that have solid strong lines. Well that's partly true -my lines are stronger in traditional formats vs. digital (tablet doesn't feel like paper). *Muscle memory with lots of practise and ghosting (practise drawing above the paper with your whole arm and then put down your pencil and draw exactly it on the paper). I would also recommend drawing different lengths as well as straight and curves. Not every shape is one continuous line. keep going

  @NessIllustration Thank you so much for pointing that out, I did not even notice the shape/style consistency! I wondered what connected certain pieces and that is exactly what it is. That really demystifies things for me. @Coreyartus Thank you for being so descriptive with the colour themes! My husband was trying to point out a consistency in colour theme but was only able to describe it in terms of the feeling the colours created in each composition. I knew what he meant, but I was struggling to figure out specifically what was causing that. I saw that you posted your Dream Porfolio as well, this is very new to me, but I hope I will be able to offer you some helpful feedback too!

  @Kimberly-Batti i typically photograph the work in very small sections and then composite together in photoshop. That way I get a huge and very detailed final image.

  @Heather-Boyd I think you are selling yourself short, your line work looks really solid, and it brings so much character and tone to the structures you are drawing. I am working on my subjective right now and I have the opposite problem, my line work is too stiff and really lacks character. I have actually redrawn almost all my line work while rendering, and it looks so much better when I loosen up. I looked at yours last night and thought - that is what I need to be doing! I think it all comes together eventually though, there is just so much to think about from line and shape to colour and style, it’s hard to get it all at once. After my subjective is finished, I have decided to focus on smaller pieces for awhile so I can start to focus on building these individual skills. It’s really helping me to see everyone’s posts and progress, so thanks for sharing!
