I’m coming into the course late so I have no problem with having to wait between lessons yet, but what I am planning to do when I eventually catch up or finish the course, is to go through it all again! Then I’ll be set for other learning in books I have, that have assumed the basics that I’m learning now.

Question here. So when eyeballing the proportions, would it be appropriate to start with something like the Loomis Method of drawing the head? I suppose it would be Drawer's preference, but I'm wondering if there's any specific reason to use it or not.

I was also wondering about Loomis and when to use. Or not.

Study after a drawing from The Magic Pudding by Norman Lindsay. Even though it’s not meant to be realistic I felt my lack of anatomy knowledge.

I studied an EH Shepard drawing.

@Stan Prokopenko I'm a bit confused about lines. First, in the other projects, you told us to draw with the whole arm or from the shoulder or elbow or wrist, and now in these line-weight ones you are doing very fiddly little lines using your fingers. Previously this was a no-no. Please explain? If you were drawing this rhino from scratch and not just tracing over it, how would you go about it if you wanted to include a hierarchy of line weights?
@thewayofallflesh
The finger part confused me too. I swithed to drawing from the wrist bc I got cleaner and more precise lines. Or try drawing from fingers but always pulling strokes from one side (left to right for example). For the second part of your post, my guess is that when you, post sketch, find what you were looking for, trace it over on another paper for cleaner lines, and then use the hierarchy. I hope this helps :)
@emmabacon
Is it of any benefit to bring a reference photo into procreate and explore the lines by drawing on top of the photo? To get there feel of it?
@emmabacon
True. This course is what the world needs. It’s what I need anyway. Thank you.
