Level 2 forms. I find it hard to separate the foreground and the background with proper spacing of the CC-lines. Would appreciate feedback on how to do that better and, if possible, examples!

Excellent Job Axel!

Level 1 gingers! Fun exercise, I experimented with which pencils would look the best, settled for ink pen, it popped the most. Underlying layer with red pencil.

Level 2 sketches: Got a bit bored with the simple tanks, so for my post-demo attempt I took heavy inspiration from Kim Jung Gi. Added some 'Montald lines' to hint at the underlying forms - couldn’t decide whether to go with or against the form, so they kinda turned into crosses. I also experimented with clean, straight inking lines (like De La Torre) and more a chaotic zig-zag back-and-forth approach. As with any longer project, I keep appreciating previous lessons on shapes and line weight!

Correction - the original was made by Peter Han, not Kim Jung Gi. I used an image from Jung Gi's instagram, hence the misunderstanding. https://www.instagram.com/kimjunggius/p/CIl0sfYFiWr/?img_index=6

Level 1 and level 2 sketches: For Level 2, I experimented with a simple composition: seven people hanging out in a garage. That alone was a challenge! I struggled with aligning the tool chest (with two people sitting on it) so it felt grounded while facing a different direction from the car. Any tips on how to tackle that would be super helpful! I'm finding intuitive perspective way more interesting than I expected. I hadn’t fully realized it before, but perspective plays a role in everything you draw (obviously—but still, a revelation). It's definitely a powerful concept to get a handle on.

Tough one to do without the tinted paper, but you really managed to get the feeling of light coming from above! Nice!

Level 1 sketches! Having a hard time deciding how much "off-center" the major/long axis is supposed to be. Would love tips in regards to this to help make drawing ellipses more intuitive!

Level 1 hands ready
Axel Gyllenstierna
Nicely done! I especially like the bottom right one. The knuckles are chunky and lovely. Gives a good weight to it.

Level 1 and 2 for each hand. The imagining part was hard but fun! The close-up angles were interesting. Feedback appreciated!
Melanie Scearce
Wow, these are so dynamic. Well done 👍 The only thing I would point out is the knuckles on the second to last one seeming to float above the box of the palm, but other than that the orientation of your boxes looks great.

What happens when an isometric box enters the world of perspective, surprised boxes staring in a circle! (It is difficult to arrange boxes in a shared direction...)
Aubrey Hannah
Wow! Skilled AND humorous use of perspective! Heh heh.

First time post. Been drawing for about two years and I figured it was about time I take advantage of Proko. Did some warmups with materials on hand. The triangle at the bottom is referenced from an “Jump All but One” game from Cracker Barrel. Excited to see where the course takes me!
