It hurts my inner cyclist how the feet appear to be both in the down stroke of pedaling; but I can also hear it screaming to go out and ride after seeing the original photo. Which way is yours screaming?
In day 18 I used a picture from the Goodwood festival of speed. In both cases my goal was to replicate the image to the best of my ability, but I did not trace over them. I'm somehow flattered to be honest. Have a good one.
I'm very much learning as well but 2 pieces of advice that have been helpful:
When practicing from references or life, draw what you see. This is harder than you think, it takes lots of concentration to avoid drawing what your brain thinks is the real world.
Look at the negative space, that is, the space in between the forms of what you are drawing. This helps establish relationships between the elements of your drawings.
Some exercises that can help:
Drawing without looking at the paper (helps switching your focus from the paper to what you are seeing, the results are strange and funny)
Put your reference upside down (helps with drawing what you see instead of your mental model because the brain is not use to seeing the objects upside down)
Take a house plant and draw it using only negative space. Your goal is to not draw the plant but what is not the plant.
Thanks!
Along with at least 50% of all other drivers in my city!
Depends on the country and all sort of other factors like gender, age, etc.
Is just a regular notebook with dots instead of a grid.
Thank you your honor!
Fair

I only drew what I saw your honor!
Also in seriousness, here is my reference, the composition is great: https://pin.it/31zufdV0u
This is great, I think the only reason it doesn't have more up votes is because of how you posted it as a link instead of a direct image.
Here is the reference for day 18, it was really hard and I think I did a lousy job with it: https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/img/Williams-FW26-BMW-179906.html
Here is the reference I used for today: https://pin.it/31zufdV0u

Have fun!
I'm glad it reads, thanks for the nice comment!

Really nice, love the rusty effect
It is there, you just need to rotate it!
That is really impressive, was her face sore after?
I tried but had to resort to a reference after struggling with the mirror
It is going to be fun, was missing them the last 3 weeks!
Uff, is that just the journal or a description of the whole cabin?
