hiya! I love this assignment. The idea of compiling reference and then inventing is something I never thought to do, but I look forward to exploring the techniques more!
In the future, I think I'll do more prep drawings so I can pose the characters however I want. More exploratory than finished. Keep it up everyone!

After rewatching the lesson, looking at my drawings, and comparing them to the video example, I notice right away that I was attempting to be far too controlled and perfect. I think I was kicking the ball towards the wrong goal, so to speak.
That lovely energy and liveliness is missing from mine. I also notice that some of my lines are far darker than others and it makes it look a little weird.
Alas, here we are! Good job everyone!

HI everyone!
Super fun project right!? I neglected drawing the snail because YUCK but other than that, I just went ahead and tried everything. Is it just me, or are the level 1 boots harder than the level 2 project references?
Loving everyone's projects, lets keep it up!

Level one and two from provided photos. Pears were thumbnails ~ 15 min, portrait took one hour.
Looking great! Is that a bird under one of the pears I see? :D Your sketchbook must be very fun. And this portrait you captured so well.

Hope I'm not jumping "ahead" too much! These models are fun to work from! Pencil rough then fountain pen. Should I just stick with ballpoint or fountain pen only?

Broke the 3 forms into individual pieces, then made some more on an actual armature.

My three armatures. Having a little trouble wrapping the wire without twisting the two together, and getting it tight around the joints. Any tips?

it could be the wire if its a bit stiffer of a wire. on #1 make sure the hips aren't too wide, better they be thinner to make room to add clay. These look like they should work great! hopefully you'll do some gesture studies with these soon!

One thing you could do is darken the values in the arches and under the bridge for more contrast. Those beautiful arches don't pop the way I think you maybe want them too, so darkening all of those interesting shadow shapes would add some ever important contrast! You may also consider adding darker values in those rocks on the left, and also maybe add a foreground element off to the right. Great work!
