I thought to use a tablet but mine's a small model so I just drew the whole thing on larger paper instead.

I doodled some more while watching the critique videos, trying to make them more cartoony and incorporate some of the poses from the references.

That was a lot of fun. Gotta love raccoons. I draw a blank when it came to a good concept for the final sketch (first image on the left). I think it could have a much stronger personality.

I couldn't help but lightly "ghost" some underdrawing lines first. They really helped me find a reasonable proportion and feature placement without measuring.

I think it'd behoove all of us if you were emphasizing the way you positioned your hand. One thing I noticed is that in order to draw a curve more confidently, you really have to put your hand at sort of a "center" or that curve (or arc). Place your hand elsewhere seems to make it easier to fail.

It's gonna take a while until my lines feel solidly confident.

The first attempt was a little expedient. I spent more time on the second one, trying to follow the plane changes on the face.

Third attempt, after following along Stan's demo. I noticed how he lightly enclosed shaded area before actually shading. I think my result got slightly less messier because of that.

The biggest tip I learnt from this demo is start light, even for the shadows. In my earlier attempts, I always went straight for the B6 pencils for the shadows, and couldn't get them any darker.

For the second attempt, I followed Stan's instructions on starting out lighter, which did help me avoid severely indenting the paper like in the first attempt. The second drawing was drawn on green paper because I had some left, not because of artistic looks or something.

One thing I'd like to point out is the pencil angle. On the first viewing, I thought you were just using a very steep angle, but after many failed attempts and a fresh viewing, I realized I should've been using a much gentler angle. A steeper angle indents the paper too quickly and adds too much graphite, leaving no room for later.

Perspective notes I collected3yr
Here's a PDF with all the perspective notes I collected. These cover 1-point, 2-point, 3-point, cylindrical ("4-point"), hemispherical ("5-point"), spherical ("6-point") perspective, with reflections and shadows too. These are just notes, not a well written book, so pardon the shoddy presentation.
