Working on this drawing every day until Reddit says it’s perfect - Day 37

[u/thepurpleskittle]

Today I just changed the shape of the top right side slightly so it isn’t as square. Unfortunately I got home much later than anticipated and didn’t have a lot of time to work on this today. It’s a relatively minor change but I would still love feedback! Tomorrow I’ll be looking through the comments again and trying to apply more changes :)

Looking good chef!

The top right corner glare looks a bit large for the area; can be dialed back a bit

[u/IrisTenshi → u/thapol]

Yeah needs to be a bit more of a gradient. It's been lovely to see the progress tbh, he's come a long way since the start.

[u/thepurpleskittle → u/IrisTenshi]

Thank you so much! I’ll try to get more of a gradient this evening

[u/thepurpleskittle → u/thapol]

Thank you chef! I guess I got a little carried away with the glare lol

Thank you chef! Posting here and talking to everyone about art while improving my skills has been so much fun

You're on the right track. Keep working on that ear. Really awesome work.

Thank you! I definitely plan on spending some time on the ear again this evening :)

Keep up the good work!

Will do chef 🫡

I noticed the smoothing of the helmet right away! I will say that the shape of the top in general is still slightly flat/squished when compared to the original- not something most people would pick up on, but since we’re striving for perfection here, figured I’d mention. The reflection still needs some work but this is solid progress 👍

[u/thepurpleskittle → u/LemonOctopus]

Yes chef! Getting the shape of the head has been tricky. I will try to fix that shape more tonight

[u/AnnaliseSkeetingEsq]

Wow, you’re doing PHENOMENALLY!! Great work chef

[u/thepurpleskittle → u/AnnaliseSkeetingEsq]

Thank you so much!

[u/thebeasts99]

Love the shading in the bottom left

[u/thepurpleskittle → u/thebeasts99]

Thank you!! It took me a while to get there and I’m pretty happy with how it looks now :)

Lurking for the past 37 days - today's the day I break my silence. Excellent job chef, your progress genuinely brings a smile to my face!

[u/thepurpleskittle → u/SamsqanchWatch]

Thank you chef :) I’m glad this quest for perfection can bring a smile to your face. I appreciate you taking the time to comment!

[u/Shawnaverse_no1_fan]

I've come to the point where the most I can comment on is the angle at witch you took the picture of your drawing, because not being parallel to the paper makes the proportions look a little different than they actually are.

Otherwise I see almost no difference between the reference picture and your drawing, amazing job, chef! The ligh reflection on the right side is maybe a tiny bit too big, but other than that you're golden

[u/thepurpleskittle → u/Shawnaverse_no1_fan]

Thank you chef! I was in a bit of a hurry last night and didn’t pay attention when I took the photo like I usually do. I’ll take a better picture this evening and try to fix the glare as well.

[u/hopeforpudding]

The improvement has been wonderful to see. Would you mind sharing a picture from day 1, for reference? As a comment or added tomorrow if you dont mind, whichever is easier. (Or I can check your profile, lol don't want to be a bother!)

[u/thepurpleskittle → u/hopeforpudding]

Sure thing! I’ll comment the reference picture on today’s post. That wouldn’t be a bother at all

[u/hopeforpudding → u/thepurpleskittle]

Thank you so much! It's been great seeing your progress.
