Salutations and welcome to my art thread! I guess that I will post most of my artwork here since I mostly do traditional art.
A work in progress for art class. I am practicing still life in there.

Art assignment
This still life is looking great so far!!! Are you enjoying it? I remember I always hated doing still life, but it's so important for practicing referencing skills TwT
Yeessss more art threads!
Hahah adding a meme certainly makes still life more exciting!
I was always bad at still life in art school.. I kept moving around and the perspective kept changing xD
Your WIP looks like a great start!!

That looks like it was a good practice session so far Astrobeans!!
Perspective with stuff like furniture and objects is always so hard for me, it's always exciting to see people working on that skill!

Thank you for the sweet comments, y'all. Still life is a bit hard for me too especially with drawing the size of the bowl. I had to get help from my art teacher with it.
as klimt proved, perspective matters less if there's enough PRESENTATION to keep the viewer engaged, ehaha!
forreal, best drawhack is add detail and supplemental form; i was never very good at seeing 3D and translating it to 2D UNTIL i let myself just get the details down. eventually it falls into place a lot more comfortably when you've got the practice of just getting the shape and lines out and down to a swifter pace, and that attention to detail is going to serve you very well in the practice arena
starting out small also helps -- the mug, for instance, you could do a still life of that up close to find out how shadows lie on rounded surfaces, how ceramic gleams, how the graphic on the mug would 'bend' with the curve of its surface, et c. ; it looks like your illustrative 'eyeball' is going to do really well with multi-angle captures (like you could fill a page with different angles and perspectives of that mug, because your brain is already trying to fit it all into a 3D 'hold'; just take the time to assign hardline angles like snapshots in ur head, and i know for sure your skills are going to soar)

Today, in art class, I attempted to draw a close-up of a flower. And...it turned into something else, and excuse the low quality of my chromebook's camera.
Hot mess
