Hello,

Thank you so much for your time.

I hate insects so it took me a while to get used to look at them.

I am really happy to be done with it.

Thank you again.

Have a nice day!

Good job completing another lesson!

To me to be honest, it looked like you were rushing:

  1. Organic shapes--the cross contours are too straight in the middle. Try to visualize it wrapping around a round 3-d shape. Also you neglected to vary the degree as they go along the shape based on the perspective. You should go back and reread the directions and practice that one again at least as a warm up. It's really important.

  2. Mostly you only did one construction per page--it's not specified but if you're filling up pages it's better to do more. The more you practice the more you will get out of it.

Personally, I think you should go back and do more constructions, but technically you did the page count so I'm going to mark this as complete.

Next Steps:

Either go back and work more on this or proceed to the next lesson. Up to you.

Dear WAXWERK,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review this.

I will take in consideration all that you told me, I will practice the Organic Shapes as warm up and I will also make a few more constructions, maybe try to paint themso I can be excited about that. I do not like insects so looking at them made me sick, this did not helped :)).

Thank you again!

Marco Bucci's Getting Started with Digital Painting

Marco Bucci's Getting Started with Digital Painting

Marco Bucci's got a ton of great courses available on proko.com, including some of the best videos you can find on using colour and light. Since a lot of our students want to break into working with digital painting however, I thought this course in particular would be a great start to get into the weeds with how to navigate the confusing world of layers, brushes, and more.

This course highlights programs across the full spectrum of options, ranging from the current industry standard Adobe Photoshop, to the Free-and-Open-Source darling Krita, as well as the mobile favourite, Procreate.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
