Tried to do one of these digitally(Procreate), can't decide on what brush to use. Every brush I tried was too textured. Not sure which method I tried to go with, could be both in one.

Here is my attempt at sketching from imagination with various references. Nerd alert. I created a Star Wars inspired Gungan Jedi. I was always fascinated with the Darth JarJar fan theory lol, so I thought I’d give it a go. This character is meant to be a light side Jedi. I wanted to give the character a sense of grace in combat, much Luke from the Mandalorian, while also trying to stay true to the ‘Drunken Boxing’ martial arts style, which gives the illusion of clumsiness and utilization of distraction techniques. The lightsaber is inspired from the various gungan weapons seen in Star Wars episode 1. Designs of the Jedi robe were taken from Boss Nass attire. It was a fun project and I learned a lot!

That’s amazing! That would totally work in a Star Wars universe. Have you watched “The Bad Batch”? Even that’s fun.

I do not know if I am very late or too late, but I just finished Level 1. The hand was the easiest one for me, the pinguin was the hardest. I drew this $%&& bird 5 times because he kept looking stupid. My lines got better with each time and that's what matters.

Penguins are clumsy by nature I think, at least on land. Your drawings are great, the arm especially. Those fingers look excellent.

Got a couple pointers to take away for my drawings from these demonstrations. Thanks! Also whoever picked the music, thank you, it's sooo good!

Level 1 guy attempting to make a jump. I tried to sketch the giraffe looking at the camera while running. My main problem seems to be establishing proportions, so rather than doing it with the pencil I use a scale divider. Is that ok or should I try to work without it?

I think scale dividers are fine really, it’s just a tool. Plus if it helps you with drawing then that’s a bonus. We’ll have lessons on measuring proportions later on.

These are awesome, lines are very expressive.

This was fun :) I decided to design a simple fox character (who doesn't love foxes?). I also wanted to practice more fluid lines and dynamic poses (hence I looked at some more dynamic-looking animal illustrations). I really enjoyed the sketching process, and I would be happy to receive feedback / thoughts :)

Here's my inspiration board of a crab. First page I did as warm up and getting a feel of how to construct this creature, and to get an idea of what it looks like from front- and backview. On the second picture I wanted to have a crab do some acrobatics :D This was so much fun. Tomorrow I'll sketch more crab and attempt to add some character in them. I'll edit pictures in this post.

Nice studies of crabs and the finished sketch looking awesome. Is that crab doing push ups on one claw?

You seem to have uploaded this drawing to the wrong lesson as assignment. Other than that it's a good drawing.

Here are my sketches from observation. All done digitally with iPad procreate and the closest brush I could find to a colored pencil. Looking forward to seeing what everyone draws from imagination!

These look nice. I wonder have you heard of "Infinite Painter"? It's also an app on iPad, I have both Procreate and that painter one. I do like them both yet I'm no good with either for now.

So these are my attempts! I am not used to drawing from imagination to be honest but this seemed to be pretty fun. First attempt wasn't great but then I came up with something pretty decent I think!

Attached are my three reference images, and some sketches from my imagination. I just finished listening to one of The Witcher books and drew a scene from there - the one with the Unicorn.

Nice sketches! What witcher book you listen to at the moment? I prefer to read them as opposed to listening.

Had a go at the 3 references provided on my iPad. The arm was a bit tricky and didn’t get the foreshortening right on the fingers. Penguin was alright, and the most fun I had was with the girl character.

I’ve drawn these a couple days ago and some do seem like there might be a couple tapered lines. Not all of them obviously, I’m not able yet to control line work so well.

What are some good drawing tools with which to draw tapered strokes?

Graphite, charcoal pencils and brush pens I believe. Though perhaps it can work with ballpoint pen too, not sure.

Sweet, haven't had much luck with varied line weight mid-stroke. This is going to be helpful! Thanks!

Thank you for including some of my assignments in the critique video! I'm not quite certain why I even went with darker lines, likely a habit to outline which I'm trying to get under control by going through this course. I had drawn boots and the snail after watching the demo as well, however I think my 1st attempt at the snail was better whereas shoes had some improvement.

Hello! Beginner here. I've taken a stab at the 3 pears (in order). I lose a lot of patience the longer I'm in a sitting so pear 3 feels a little rushed. also values skew a bit dark since I'm having a hard time with shading lightly.

Hi! These are nice to start with, I would suggest to watch the critique video there were submissions similar to your drawings and it could help. Watch the demo after the critique video if you can, that way you won’t be influenced by Stan’s approach to simplify.

Day 13. Just wanted to try markers. Although I found I made many mistakes after watching the demo video.

Stunning! Was the sketch underneath done with ballpoint or something similar? I have markers too but if I sketch with graphite I need to erase it before I go into rendering anything. How do you go about it? If you'd share your general process, I'd be happy. Thanks!
