I will be here to help so feel free to ping me anytime

Reference photo source : Artstation, Primitive Shapes pack

additional task : add your own simple shape into composition and try to match colors and perspective

you can turn on ping for studies here id:customize

here's my result

additional task : add your own simple shape into composition and try to match colors and perspective

Tips :

• start with overall shape first, feel free to redline the ref picture first to figure it out faster
• if u are not confident with colors yet use eyedropper tool to figure out colors and how they interact. Don't blindly copy it, find some logic in it
• for step by step tutorial for simple shapes check Week 1 (https://discord.com/channels/595738125595050024/1357883953637490698) as well
• if u are scared of colors, feel free to make it in b/w

[floral swan]

🔺🔵⬛️ will these do 🙏

If you screeshot it and photoshop enough it can look pretty

I couldnt get the colors right cuz yea

[indigo ledge]

@unkempt echo easy

[strange copper]

I'm still a new artist and don't feel confident enough to add in my own shape, but I remade it in pixel art

[unkempt echo]

The instruction says to draw it yourself, the whole picture, u can check other weeks for reference...

Delete these so it doesn't confuse others when they want to participate.
If u want try again, draw it on your own

[indigo ledge]

oh

[thin belfry]

Did a rough painting :D
Still not comfortable enough to get creative with it, so this shall suffice for now. (Also will probably go check up on those values when I have time later)

[indigo ledge]

cool mate, you can do more darker 🙂

[cloud plank]

I might do this since i have new art pens (albeit i dunno how well i can match the colors), plus sounds fun :>

[raw whale]

doing it rn

having so much trouble measuring out the shapes makes me feel like such a noob lmfao

[unkempt echo]

simple shapes are hard af so don't feel like a noob ❤️

[fading grotto]

thats what i made

[serene night]

I do this one

[raw whale]

first or second b&w study i've done so this was rlly hard for me

[unkempt echo]

simple shapes are pretty hard and u did a nice job!!! 💯

[raw whale]

Wait I forgot to show the b&w ref

Yeah I feel like I keep making things too light

Wonder if I should push the shadows

I just like never know how much until I see the thing near the end and go hold up

Ty though!

[tropic lynx]

I decided to render it my way, of course i do use ms paint so i was limited, but i think i did good and bad if yall know what i mean.
Also i was semi in a rush cuz i'm working on another art piece, but wanted to be included cuz i've been eyeing the study groups channel for so long

[unkempt echo]

u did such a good job with limited color palette:D nice nice

[tropic lynx]

Thank you! <3

[fringe zealot]

[fallen hazel]

We have to draw this reference for whole one week

[unkempt echo]

no, 1 week is only deadline, people usually share only 1 drawing as their result

[fallen hazel]

Rest of the time for what then?

So i hav to start from next week

[unkempt echo]

u can check other week studies or work on your personal work. the 1 week deadline is to make sure everyone can work on this study without stressing about time
if u want to work on stuff everyday check #📅・daily-prompts

[fallen hazel]

[unkempt echo]

read the rules again, we don't allow free art.

[fallen hazel]

So what about these art people upload in this server

[unkempt echo]

[uneven latch]

[steel violet]

V1/V2/Reference

[steel violet]

oh, now I see, I forgot reflection from cone to plane

And a shadow from ball to cylinder

-_-

Classic me

Every time I finish art, there is at least something weird that I cant spot initially

[unkempt echo]

haha that's totally normal!:D
u can adjust it and send another result or keep it in mind for next study, I think u did a good job 💯

[steel violet]

I’ll try to fix it tomorrow, ty

Mb you spot something I miss?

[unkempt echo]

I think the cube is a bit off, since it's closer to the camera we would see a bit more of upper part!

[steel violet]

Ye, V1 was done without any support lines, should get rid of that bad habit

[unkempt echo]

it's good to recognize it and keep it in mind for next study (I write it down on piece of paper next to my pc to not forget things I usually forget to check xddd)

[prime dune]

Sryy I only did shade sketch and no coloring T_T And I didn't use a ruler soooo

[terse bridge]

Any feedback?

[unkempt echo]

the sphere position should be a bit lower, I like the soft use of textured brush!!

[terse bridge]

alrightt

[tranquil gazelle]

Can i get feedback on what to improve please

[delicate widget]

[shy marsh]

Any medium is allowed, so long as you're learning!

[craggy latch]

[prime dune]

Can I get any feedback plz? ^^

[serene night]

I am limited by my own space🙂🙂🙂

[civic lily]

Has anyone tried doing it with fineliners?

[unkempt echo]

not yet in results but try it!!

[unkempt echo]

helloo

1. if u work in b/w, switch the reference pic to black and white as well, it will be easier to spot darkest/lightest shades!
2. make sure the direction of your hatching is in direction of form for example cylinder would be a bit better shaded with horizontal line instead
3. check where is the contrast between shapes it is visible especially on areas I've marked in reference picture, make sure to reflect those contrasts in your shading and try to notice how dark/ligt the areas are!
