The lower one looks much better. Would be thankful for a critique.

Hi! The darker end of the scales are pretty good, but keep an eye out for the transition from the lightest square to the middle greys. I think lightening square #2 for both scales will create a more even transition since they currently appear darker than squares #3. Once you have that down, see if you can push the middle three values in the top scale, since they appear rather similar-- so lightening #4 and darkening #6. I hope this helps :)

Definitely see more confident simplification choices and linework. Great work!

And the journey begins , tell me guys what i can go better 😓
Martha Muniz
Hi there! I would recommend starting the light grey values even lighter, so there's more of a gradual and even progression from the lightest to darkest values.
@banane
before and after watching his explanation, definitely helped a lot :D
Martha Muniz
Great improvement, looks awesome!
@brimarie
That was a great exercise. It also stimulates the imagination and I noticed that it's not that easy to come up with things... Any feedback and suggestions for improvement are very welcome:-)
Martha Muniz
Looks great! Love how you even got multiple rounded objects into the drawing. If you're up for more practice, I encourage you to try it with different placements for the horizon line, like a lower horizon line with at least a couple of objects placed above it, so there's more variety in the challenge.

Boxes, boxes everywhere :D

Looks awesome!

Feel pretty good about the project. But one thing that bothered me even though Stan said it was going to take some time was eye balling things can I get some advice to do it better because I was going on about an hour and a half measuring proportions before I got to the detail which only took 15 minutes.
Martha Muniz
Don't worry too much about time, as building the technique for accuracy can definitely take its time. It's better to be careful with this project than to rush through it. Plus, you're in a totally normal timeframe either way :) Keep practicing, you're already on a great path!

Here is m’y assignement… I found it quite challenging. The proportions were difficult to get…
Martha Muniz
Good start! I think you can continue to further simplify some of the more complex areas into simple shapes -- think basic ovals, rectangles, triangles, etc... Starting with these as the 'building blocks' helps make proportions more manageable later on as it sets the foundation to launch off of.

I usually draw the people, so drawing an animal was a good challenge. Still trying to draw a tiger. Please feel free to critique, I would love to hear some feedback :D
Martha Muniz
Great simplification and studying from the reference to your original drawing! I think you still have room for more exploration and iterations if you're up for the challenge -- try pushing the shapes to really capture the idea you are trying to convey. For example, the top drawing as the tiger is walking towards the viewer could have the shoulders more exaggerated and large to convey the muscular build and the sense of the cat prowl, or really pushing the fur on the cheeks to be larger instead can convey the cat-likeness. Have fun trying out different variety of shapes, as that's the best way to build confidence in imaginative sketching :D

This was a really helpful project. I learned so much and I'm definitely going to do more drawing from imagination. I had fun with this one.
Martha Muniz
Really great explorations! Love how you started more realistic then pushed the shapes to create an awesome new design! The end result has great appeal :)
