Over the summer break I’ve practiced a few art skills and improved upon them. Here i am going to talk about two of them.
My first skill was realism, if that counts as a skill. I've improved on making drawings seem real and actually possible in real life, although you can’t notice on my digital drawings (i have a lot of trouble drawing digitally) you can see on my one physical drawing all the little details. I plan on tracing that over in digital to give it a cleaner yet still sketchy look. I’m still currently practicing on drawing more plants and scenery but I am happy with my current skill in the area. I hope to be able to draw lifelike drawings soon, which i can only achieve through practice. My second skill was Anatomy. I only recently started drawing full bodies (about a week or two ago) but with the help of certain people I was able to improve on it. Although it’s not exactly easy to draw full bodies I have found it to be much more simple now and I can do it significantly faster than i used to be able to. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to show how I improved in my portfolio since I still am struggling with drawing on digital like I used to. Proportions have become very simple to memorize and draw correctly, and the “skeleton” or basis of the body is a lot more easy to draw meaning I can make the actual body easier to make. I hope that I’m able to improve on this skill throughout the year, despite probably not having to use it for 3D work. What excites me about GAD this year is that I’m finally able to do 3D art, although it’ll be incredibly difficult until I finally get my own powerful PC, I still think it will be fun to learn. I was nervous about online school especially with this class considering both PC’s I’ available to use are a few years old and can’t handle too much (I have yet to acquire a chromebook), I’m still hopeful I will be able to do these arts with a newly built PC soon. I'm happy I stayed in this class and hope for another year of fun with you. (P.S, I know that these were supposed to be 3 different posts, but instead I’ll do one since I was only now able to use this laptop and time isn’t exactly on my side.)
