my level 1assignment

Here is my attempt, a i spend about 2 hours with this

here is my level 1 assignment

I chose W. Siudmak (https://www.wikiart.org/en/wojciech-siudmak). i just focused on the lines (after realizing i can't draw the exact same picture)

here are my level 1 attempts. i was drawing on top of the red lined image, so i was playing with thickness only

here are my exercises

heres my images after the first attempt

Sad not to see any of my stuff this time around but I definitely did learn a few things from this critique video. If I may though. Proko you mention practicing straight lines, now I've done quite a bit of another free art program called Drawabox and that's one of the starting drills. The instructor does mention that it's fine to rotate the page around when drawing, does this apply to drawing straight lines as well? I feel like that would defeat the purpose. I ask this because I recently went back to doing this drill and there's definitely some angles where I can't draw a straight line, my arm's movement is just way too awkward for that angle.

thanks for the critique. the lesson i got today: no need to do the exercise right away, first spend some time to understand the purpose of it

day #14, last day

day #12

@Stan Prokopenko , so does the quality of my lines just mean confidence? can they be thin and sharp as a needle or bold and "messy" like on your turtle drawings as long as they LOOK confident/intentional. both counts as good line quality
