I started my practice this week by working on line art and shading on this image of a wolf and pup. I was mostly focusing on shape language and basic shading. While I’m not the happiest with the results, I think it went well for my first attempt at both this kind of figure work in digital art and my first ever attempt at shading this way. After that, I did several hours’ worth of practice on line quality and shading by looking at human face anatomy. I made six identical faces and tried out shading using six different light sources, as indicated by the direction the eyes are looking. The picture below is the result of this practice. I am very pleased with the progress I can see between the wolf piece and the face piece, and I am excited to keep on learning more.
