Improve Shape Design by Simplifying

Take the course - Here’s a clip taken from the premium critique of the drawing basics course. The assignment was to simplify a pear or a portrait down to its shapes, values, and edges. In this critique, I break down some of the common issues I saw students have with their shape design. I’ll give you advice and talk about proportion, asymmetry, and improving your shadow shape design. If you enjoy this critique and would like more be sure to check out the full course - .
