I really loved doing these. I enjoyed the freedom of just focusing on line confidence and not being super worried about measuring. There’s also something really satisfying about simplifying images

Feeling really good after watching this demo. I did almost the same steps as Stan before I watched this! It’s a good reminder that I need to trust my instincts and not second guess myself so much

The snail was a lot of fun but hot damn those boots were a lot more challenging than I anticipated!

Lots of problems in my proportions. It’s kind of funny how looking at it in person looks fine then when I see the thumbnail photo of my reference, I can see all the issues…. I should probably start utilizing squinting my eyes while looking at the object.

I found this black and white photo that I thought would be a good exercise. I really tried to keep it simplified and with only 5 values. It was a lot more challenging than expected.

After I read on facebook that proko want us to try the assigment again after his example video i thought Ill do that. But with another portrait because I easily get bored if i draw the same thing to many times. Hawkeye.

i found this image and thought it would make a great reference for this project. I had a really hard time mapping out the proper proportions and then I started getting lost when trying to create 5 clear values. I’m proud of myself for finishing but I very clearly struggled

I don’t have 5 clear values and I definitely got a little lost along the way but I finished!

The pear on the left I did following along with the demo. The pear on the right I did on my own after doing the demo pear … I followed the same steps on my own but the demo pear still looks way better. Time to keep practicing

Hey everyone! I just want to verify that this is the first lesson. I’m new to Proko so just want to make sure I’m not missing anything!

Here is my pear. I did this one digitally because it was most convenient at the time. I plan to do most of the course traditionally to really work on my line quality. Also started the portrait with graphite. Here’s my block in of that.
