As a level I and a beginner, I found this a little overwhelming. Just trying to dredge up an artist I thought I had any chance of copying was a big challenge to start! And sorry to Marc Chagall, dude, but you looked the most copy-able for a beginner - so here was my very first-ever attempt - my focus being entirely on line value, thickness, etc. (and not proportions - because now that they're side by side, I can see that my lady would be buying a smaller bra size than Chagall's gal). I guess he was going for shadow with the darker thick lines? The dark lines are very dramatic and exaggerated.

Here are mine - one with hierarchy of importance and one with light/shadow. Tracing was easy and fun and definitely allowed me to focus on my lines instead of just constantly trying to figure out proportions!

Here are my sketches! I think I’m still a little stiff with my lines, and I follow the reference images too closely.

Here are mine. I never tried to sketch a hand before - they are tricky!

Why doesn't this video show the check mark after viewing? @Proko Support It looks like I have only watched 79% of the course content.

Mine gets the check marks but still says I've only watched something like 85%, and I was wondering why as well.

Day 6/14 I went WAY out of my comfort zone today and drew a car. I am horrible at drawing vehicles and was hoping I could get some critiques and tips for how to improve. Please don’t hold back, I really want to get better in this area of drawing.

I could not believe how difficult cars are to draw when I tried to draw them this past fall! I am very impressed that you did so well, because they are so challenging!

Not sure what exactly to improve on. I feel there is something bad but I don't know what. Suggestions appreciated :3

I like these! I tried hard to capture the expressions on each, but didn't. You totally did! And your proportions are so good!

Tried the level 2 although I'm definitely a level 1 artist. Not so sure about Alice the Camel here, but I enjoyed drawing Captain Skulduggery.

Well that was impossible. Somebody needs to get this person some shorter laces for their boots.

Day 2. I had more time to draw yesterday. I took this photo when we drove to Steamboat Springs a few weeks ago, going over Rabbit Ears pass. I chose not to include the snow on the trees because I don't know how to draw snow on trees, and I left out the back of that sign on the left side of the road as well as the dashed white line of the road. I'm a super beginner, last art class was in 6th grade about a hundred years ago, so overall I'm happy with this!

my day #2 drawing: a gorilla wooden toy, I found it on google. I didn't expect it to be so difficult and ... ended up simplifying the head, redrew a leg one last time and made this image. it took almost 2 hours. i wanted to upload to show I'm doing something

Guys, what do you do to keep pencil sketchbooks clean? Graphite keeps smearing over other pages as soon as I close it and makes everything messy.

Once a page is "done", I spray it with something called Workable Fixatif. The brand is Krylon. I've seen it at Walmart and Hobby Lobby.

Attempt #1. The ellipses were kinda fun. Way more challenging than expected to get different pressures within an ellipse. It seemed like it would help to slow down, but the results on the ones I did more slowly didn't really differ from the ones I drew quickly. Some of these are a real mess! Poor Mario mushroom!
