PROMPT - "THE PERFECT FRUIT"

I'm so happy and proud!
Hey, awesome work!
Your idea and the way you visualized it (from the inside of a vein thats turning) is really cool. I read your explanation and think perhaps there were two things that could have made your drawing (subjectively) better. Firstly, I think if you put some blood cells or "fruits" really close to the viewer with very extreme and dramatic foreshortening (using the techniques learned in lesson 1), you could have made it clearer that we are looking into a shaped that starts really close and extends far away. secondly, i think you could have played around with your values a bit more. For example, . I read in your explanation that in reality everything would have been red. this would have made this an excellent artwork to push your use of values in. i think maybe you could have used more mid tones to fill the main surface of the veins and the blood cells, and then used darker darks to emphasize shadows, and lighter lights to emphasize your highlights. right now i cant see much use of midtones. ofcourse, this is set inside of a vein where there would be no actual light, so perhaps you could get creative with where the lightsource is and how you want to visually explain the scene.
Anyways, really nice work. Keep pouring your heart into it!
Wow, thank you so much for your feedback, it was really thorough!
I'm going to keep in mind what you said and pay extra attention to the lesson 1 techniques, especially because I'm just moving to that right now! ^^
Thats epic!!
Thanks! ????
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
