“Your use of simple forms is good. To help you manipulate the form you can start with a simple primitive like a cylinder to get the perspective and the proportions. Then you can draw it again with mani...”

“You’ve got the right idea and I love that you’re trying to self-critique. Trying to spot your own mistakes is a really important part of learning so keep that up! Personally, I’m not a huge fan of ...”

“I hear you, it sounds like you’re stuck in a tutorial trap. I know because I spent many, many, many years stuck in my own endless loop. It’s an insidious thing because it starts with thinking “I want ...”

“Overall your face alignment seems okay. The only thing I noticed was the horns. For the draw over I added the other horn tip that should be visible and I changed where it attaches to the skull as w...”

“That’s a really good question and hopefully this helps clarify things for you. Firstly I think you’re doing pretty well with the 1 point perspective and it’s great that you’re practicing it. Just a...”

“Creativity isn’t about motivation, it’s about process. Looking at what you’ve drawn I’m seeing some nice gestural lines and good detailing. There are many reasons why you might be feeling unmotivat...”

“To understand how to render you need to understand light and shadow. To understand light and shadow, you need to understand form. Studying form and how light and shadow affects it will make it much e...”
