I had intentions on drawing many more, but would likely get caught up spending too much time this summer drawing blubber bodies. Thinking critically, my tapered strokes need improvement which a meticulous hand is likely at fault for. Replicating the referenced image rather than capturing the gestural energy is a chronic mistake of mine.
PS. The referenced image is numbered next to each sketch.

I am quite behind on the course (Working my way through the Lines section at the moment); however, I am quite proud of how this alligator came out considering I started this course with zero drawing experience.
The proportions are off and I did remove the right portion of the alligator since I wanted to focus on the more complicated parts, but it came out much better than my other drawings.
Any advice on how to approach the scales would be appreciated. I tried a few different things, but they come out weird. I end up erasing them out of frustration.
I think your accuracy of the picture and the area where you used some of the darker lines is good! However, you can make the border area of the whole alligator more thicker, with the shadowing border areas even more thicker to indicate shadow.Once you do that, you can use thin dark lines on the scales. u can notice, on the scales that there is small part having some light on it, so make sure to make that part using think light line. (BTW if you're talking about the shaper of the scales, they look fine.)

So I need a critique on this one...I want to know that if my shapes are dynamic or not and my line quality...well.And also can we make an object or an illustration dynamic by adding shapes inside it?I added tiny little details inside them that's why I'm asking.Also, I looked at other people's drawings and I don't see anyone adding a lot of details (like me), so I'm pretty much doing it the wrong way...

These are the sketches I made, please do let me know if I did it with tapered strokes, as when I sketch I do construction, and then just erase and draw clean lines over them. By the way, it was REALLY difficult for me to resist using an eraser as that's what I'm used to when sketching as whilst I know the whole pint of sketching is that it's kinda meant to be dirty, going to have to work on that, but am glad to have knocked this out for today, definitely will come back to these, was fun to do them though! :)
I think you should work on making the lines darker.I can't see any tapered strokes for now because the lines are too light. I can relate with you about the fact that theyre supposed to be sketchy and I couldnt get that on my first try, so I reckon all you need is just some more practice. try to use those searching lines and try to do rough work and dont use an eraser because fluidity(that includes tapered strokes) comes in rough works and once you master that, most of your rough artwork starts to look pretty cool!

do we have to cleanup or is it like a rough sketch?

Keep it loose but thoughtful. You can clean it up later it you want. Don’t get stuck in details though.
