I could keep going with drawing a million of these, but I need a grownup to give me some critique/feedback 😭🙏 This was so fun!!!! Also so humbling lol. But I tried using charcoal (which I absolutely hate tactile-wise, it’s so scratchy, like nails on a chalkboard) and the overhand grip. I am super not good at the overhand grip, but I’m gonna keep practicing and improve!

Nice job with these! New materials and techniques always take some time to adjust to. Remember to focus on connecting the longest lasting lines through the figure. You really started to connect these lasting lines on your 4th page. Ignoring the contours and drawing through them with a rhythm will connect the whole body with simple C, S curves and straights. You can start to exaggerate these rhythms to further tell the story of what’s happening in the pose, and then build on top of them like in the forearm, or heel. Keep up the good work!

They look great! There's a huge difference in quality with charcoal. I hate General's pencils for the same reason, but Conte a Paris are super smooth and pleasant to draw with.

This concept is definitely backed by science - look up the Kiki/bobo effect!

these were so much fun. I should have used more straights, but they’re such squishy creatures. I had some trouble with the level two drawings (in black graphite) but I enjoyed inventing the poses. I can see why people thought these lil buds look like mermaids.

Really nice shapes and very cute seals!

I think I’m much better at eyeballing than measuring. It was much more enjoyable, in any case. As always, any thoughts or critique would be appreciated. 🩷

I worked on this guy on 11x14”, sorry Stan I didn’t have a bigger sketch pad 😩 but it was a lot bigger than I usually draw, and it was so hard. But I enjoyed the process, I really love drawing so much. I checked my progress with procreate (hence the bunch of process pictures). Please let me know your thoughts and what I can do better! I think I’ll draw this dude again this week after watching the demo/critiques.

This turned out so well. I worked on an 18x24, and I felt that it was kind of helpful. Amazing work though. It's nice to see your step by step process as well. Did you ever work on this again?
Aura
Only bc I’m very proud of my banana monkey. Cheers!

I would like to apologize to ducks everywhere for my attempt at drawing that little duckling. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hello all! I struggled at the start, but eventually, I think I got the hang of it. I also think I put too many details...anyway, I picked pics for pexel.com. A Dog, cat, Alligator, panda, and a duckling. The cat I drew makes me laugh, and I don't know why lol. Feedback would be very much appreciated. Enjoy the rest of your day!
