Heyy, everyone

Practiced some tips you gave in my previous post here about using the shoulder to draw curvy lines. I think it helped a lot, I applied the technique and here is the drawing of a costume upgrade I'm planning.

The sketches - Costume to be (pics 1-3)

The next version of the costume should have a vase that goes around me, so I would be the plant sitting inside the vase as in pic 3.

Pics 1 and 2 are how I'm planning to "offset" the vase from my body. Pic 1 is a hula hoop going through the 3D printed hooks. Pic 2 is the schematic view of the device I'm going to sew on a belt. I plan having 5-6 sets of the fixing device attached to a velcro belt with some sort of expansion to fit in others besides me.

I made some 3D printed hooks as in picture 4.

I'd be attaching a sewed vase to the hula hoop.

Costume as is (pics 5-8)

The costume has a flat 2D vase and several plant leaves sewed into a black shirt I also made myself.

Here is the deal

• I'm posting here to get the critiques on my drawings.
• I'd also appreciate if you could give me some ideas for the costume next version... (if you want to use the pictures as inspiration and reply with any drawing with your costume ideas and suggestions. Really... this would be SUPER!)

The doggo is Frida btw, she was already excited about the costume first version and would love to see your costume suggestions.

Last pic was my inspiration and where the idea came from

Thank y'all!

Hey everyone

This is my first time drawing since I was a kid and those technical drawing classes back in college (trust, me I'm an engineer).

My goal here is to draw what I see from my pov, keeping it realistic and packed with details such as lights and shadows, tiny features and textures, etc… Well, obviously within my current skill set... which is pretty limited (i lov art and have some photography bg)

So, here’s the deal: I made a sketch and immediately realized the proportions, being generous, are a lil bit 'off.'

How should I move forward?

- Should I try to fix and then detail this one?
- Start a new sketch from scratch and actually hunt for the right proportions?
- Just go ahead and detail the whole thing even if the proportions are wonky?
- Others??

What do you think would be the best practice for improving my skills as a real beginner?

One important thing is that I’d like to develop the proportions by my eyesight… don’t want to look to the picture I took and try to copy the proportions from it…

(Last but not least… These kind of perspective from the stairs are hell to draw!!! How the f*** do you guys Do it???)

Thank yall for the patience, all feedback is welcome and pls be gentle… I’m only a rookie :)

What’s up, everyone

Just started bombing a couple days ago with a homemade squeezer I made myself.

An empty bottle filled with acrylic and water. The tip is a dishwashing sponge, cutted int a stripe and rolled to fit the bottle mouth.

The thing is that for smooth surfaces it worked pretty well… but for more rough and/or texturized surfaces, the tip of my squeezer was gone.

Do yall have any tips for me?

Also, another con, is that the tip kept “entering” the bottle cause I was pressing against the walls too hard… too much adrenaline and in a rush cause I went straight to the streets… just 3 tests on paper and BOMB!

I’d appreciate any tips and help…

Thank yall, greetings from São Paulo - Brazil
