hi everyone! i have done my lamp...made it a bit flatter so it looks more of a lamp and less of a jug. truth to be told, its not really how i imagined the outcome to look like, what do you all think?
iv taken out the inlaid pearls or whatever those designs were meant to be. Too complicated. besides, its being a background prop and not a hero prop. and also, i think its just being in a regular Persian persons house, not the king....
its the first time i designed something, as well as almost my first time renedering a piece digitally so please please give feedback coz thats really the best way to grow!

thanks to all!

here is my drawing so far of the oil lamp. the top right one is the structure drawing of the lamp with a three quarter top view, the rest are these quick orthographic sketches. i want to perfect the structure drawing of the lamp a little more before rendering it, it still needs a bit of work but i was just so impatient to upload it already! will do that shortly and show you the finished one soon hopefully.

delighted to recive feedback and critiques.
thanks

just in quarantine here, got about a week to go still and since i missed inktober this year i decided to take the opportunity now to do a mini Inktober!

so far i did prompt one-fish the other day and this was what i did here:

when sketching the dolphins out first i realised one cam out looking more masculine than the other so when i did the real drawing i pushed that idea further

still in the middle of the prompt for wisp, nearly finished the pencil drawing yesterday but today didnt even have time to pick up a pencil! was so excited with unboxing my new cintiq that just arrived this morning!

hi there all its really beeen ages! but i want to get back into things now. i want to buy a cintiq, and im looking between two second hand options, a Wacom Cintiq 13HD DTK-1301 or a
Wacom Cintiq Pro DTH-1320 13" FHD. the Cintiq Pro costs approximately £100 more.
anyone have experience with a Cintiq vs a cintiq pro?

hi everyone! hope everyone is safe and doing well.
this is my demo assignment from lee whites class on light and shadow. any comments would be soo appreciated
mine are all the circled/ squared pictures.

now that im finished all the courses from level one of the curriculum, im going to now spend about a week or so, maybe longer, before starting level 2, by drawing objects from lots of different angles and POVs and perspectives , and ill be taking the best of each object and adding tone, shadow and light as i learned to do in Lee's course! ill be including my own drawings of an interior, an exterior and robot of my own, as well as other things.

if anyone has ideas of other excersices i can do to further my skills, please let me know, im still quite a beginner and i really want to be able to draw like all you guys

cant wait to update you all on my progress in doing these drawings!

thanks all

detailed sketch/structure of table. going over it another time to get it better

whats all your thoughts on this? still need to do the chair and clean it up a bit. been really preoccupied with too many things these days and illustrating has kinda unfortunately fallen to the side a little....but im getting back into it!
all this was done on my wacom tablet. feeling limited in my lack of ability to draw like that....thinking of getting a huion pen monitor. would love to get a cintiq but its just not within the budget at the moment.

wow those are so cool! i cant wait until im up to there

@Braden-Hallett
wow i love this its great!!

im actually wondering if illustrators with published books will be making money on royalties during this time? while on one hand people are trying to budget more than normal and not buy things that are non-essential, I feel like now that in many countries schools are out and the kids are home, and home all day due to self-isolating or quarantine, then parents will be buying books to keep them all occupied!
is my theory right?

cant say its great but here is finished thing

well hi there fellow students!
im also in the middle of this class. im going pretty slowly as im busy with other things too, so dont rely on me a full-bodied classmate, but i will be glad to post some of what im here too! what a wonderful idea this is.
so the idea i had was to go a few years back---quite a few. im attempting to design props that would have been in ancient Persian times, in the kings palace.
so the lamp that im starting off with is one of those clay oil lamp thingies. i was actually thinking of doing the assignments twice, as it is really my first time designing anything, and i could do with the practise!! the idea i had for the next design was to maybe do something that would have been in the Titanic, but i may have hit upon a new idea for round two by the tim i reach that.
will try to post tomorrow the silhouettes i did and the sketches iv done so far.

so is it still not working?
its not going on yet but thats not just me is it?

welcome rochelle!!!
