EXERCISE: Analyzing the importance of strong, isolated highlights to create the impression of surface texture
Two (2) Week Exercise!
This exercise may seem juicy but this is a challenge to look at why each fruit gives the impression of a succulent produce. This 4 examples of fruit showcase how highlights can drastically alter and give some shine to the surface while being irregular to give the impression of texture. So it’s important to build up solid foundations and values, for these to look real and not resembling plastic, it will come down to how you place the highlights!

We had to do a style guide for my life drawing class today and I had a ton of fun framing it as if I were to make one for you guys!
Im definitely no pro and I dont stick to this process nearly enough as i should but yeah
This isnt as much a tutorial as it is a look into how I personally mentally break down proportions

If you have no idea what to draw…
its like having all the money you wanted ,but you dont know what to buy. Making this to look at when I get stuck with lame ideas. These are all suggestions from my followers:
Taking a break: No option for me but it surely can be good for other overworked peeps
Exploring new art forms: depending on your art style, surrealism would be something I’ve never tried before.
Shape game: Either sketching blindly and connecting the dots or sketching random shapes and fill them with faces or whatever comes to your mind.
Draw something you never drew before: …a good picture…
Draw a shark: How to draw a shark by Will Terrell
Read books: Let your mind to the picture first and then your hand.
Poses: Action poses - freestyle dancing - fight styles - (dancing people in general)- life drawing - online 3D model
Redoing Artwork: Either your old stuff or from your favorite artists, your way.
Reversestoryboarding: take your fav movie and sketch the the shots after every camera change.Screencaps: study them, draw them, look at composition
Characters: Let your OC’s do extreme expressions, let them do things (driving,cleaning,running,etc)
Concepts: How people could look like on other planets. Look at Character Design
Planing an art project: A comic in my case, thinking about environments and characters etc.
Drawing upside down: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
Fanart: Illustrate your favorite book, series,Manga ,etc
Sideblog: Gathering all the references for all your needs
