I tried to give each one its own personality.

With your #1 drawing I like the way you connect the head to the body at the back. In the front (the right side of the animal) it has a bit of a snowman feel. The chin and head have very similar curves. overall i really like your designs with a lot of personality.

I tried to think of a story or emotion that goos with the photo and push the drawings to tell the story.

This was fun. In the begining I had an issue with being a slave to the reference but as I went I started to play around with the animals a bit more. Still needs work but I'm starting to understand the process.

I LOVE your work. It looks fresh and clean. The only thing that came to my mind trying them myself is that you make some of them really symmetrical. The ears are left and right the same. (pig, koala, lama) It could be more interesting if you look for some differences. But as I said it looks really good. It is inspiring and made me try them aswell.

Hello everyone, I am a bit a bit slow, so I did only one Master study so far. I chose a portrait by David Malan. I did it several times but, in my opinion, I am still not even close to the original. Please give me your comments, it is always really helpful. Cheers

I think you did a good job. What strikes me about your drawing is that your line weight is about the same everywhere. In the original drawing, there is a marked difference in how hard the pencil was pressed. You can see this well with the eyebrows. There you see an overflow from soft lines to hard back to soft. Keep up the good work !

I tried level 2 after I did a couple of level 1 exercises (see previous posts). This was a fun excercise. Some came out stupid but some of the characters I really like. If you have advice for me I would love to hear it.

The circles in color I did first with pencil and than went over it with color. This is really challanging with the full arm drawing to get them matching. Underneed I played with the circles to make figures out of them from imagination.

Level 2 assignments, took my time with designing the shapes and making sure the line weight is informative. I feel like the latter ones look better as I got the hang of it.

I simplified some different types of monkeys from basic shapes. When I put the photo next to each other with the drawing, I saw some errors in proportions and I saw that I didn't always draw heads that are tilted that way. Putting them side by side is therefore already a good reference to see errors. The pictures I used are pictures I made at the zoo.

After Glen Keane. Mine is much more stiff and geometric looking vs Glens organic energy. Much to learn!

For the wavy lines of the hair it could help to look for bigger shapes. Glen shaded the hear in 3 parts. 1 part is blank (in front) the upper part is shaded light with lots of space inbetween the shading lines and the 3rd part is underneed with lines closer to each other. If you start with those 3 shapes and than make your wavy lines follow those shapes it makes it less complex. The head is done very well.

My favorite part of this exercise was just finding a bunch of cool new art artists I didn't know about before.

That's what I loved too ! And seeing how they make the drawings look more interesting with different types of lines. Now I look at them differently. You did it great!

I know I'm late to the critique but I just caught up in the basics course and wanted to get in the habit of posting my assignments. I'm a beginner, mostly doing the level 1 stuff. For this line study, I chose a scene from Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa. Feel free if anyone has any feedback!

In the original there is more variation in lineweight. if you look at the drawings from a little further away you can see this more easily. You did a good job in the motion and directions of the lines.

I drew these after I watched the demo. Still need practice with the hand.

After drawing the snail, I looked at the instruction. I have too many searching lines and my proportions are not right. Then I did the level 2 drawings. I did the shoes too but I'm going to start again before I post that ;-) All tips are welcome.

I took my small sketchbook everywhere. From the park where I take my lunch break to the playground when my kids played, a pub with mintlemonade. These are my drawings. Feedback is welcome. Drawing human proportions is a struggle for me.

Hi Michael, Everyone will recognise this as a pear so it is not horrible. When you block in your pear you could try to compare how big the top part is in comparison to the bottum part. You made your top part to small. You did a good job in blocking in the shadow on the pear. I only see 3 values on you pear and a forth one in the shadow from the pear. You could use 5. Keep up the good work and by drawing a lot you will get better for sure. I hope this helps. Most of all have fun !
