Day ... I don't know :D These aren't from one day, but done over the last weeks. I work mostly digitally but since starting this course, I feel less anxious when drawing traditionally. The helmet took longer than 30 minutes... hope it is okay to post it, since I used the concept of starting with 5 values and it worked so well!

Hello! I decided to try my hand at baby goats. I don't draw animals often so it was a bit of a challenge.

Those are really nice. I like the one that is jumping the most. Giving it a cranium makes it look really solid. <3

I got a little too precious with the boots once I tried to simplify the laces.

Really love the snail. That pattern on its neck is just the best. <3

Hey guys, I tried my hand at the level 2 assignment. My daughter wanted to get a dumbo - octopus to color it, so I settled on it. I attached a clean lineart out of habbit, but the assignment probably asked more for something in the lines of the page with the 2 designs. Hope you like it.

Hey man, really great idea to get your own image. BUT! It is quite overexposed on the light-side. The camera tried to get the information in the shadow and some information in the light-side was lost. So in order to make this at least a bit easier, I would suggest to use not 2 but 3 values for the shadow and only 2 for the lights. And to have a big gap on the value scale between the shadow-value-group and the light-value-group helps to keep them nicely seperated. Did a digital overpaint to illustrate my points. Hope it helps. :)

I really liked this assignment. I drew the camel and the snail, to have a mix of level 1 and 2.

Day 1 - studies of a coconut crab from reference. No I don't have a pet coconut crab, unfortunately.

Hey everyone, great to see everybody's work. I used pear 3, since it wasn't the one Proko did in the video. Really tough exercise! I am not used to simplifying and it is more difficult than I thought. Great fun though :)

Complete beginner so any feedback and/or roasts would be great! Don’t hold back.

You could increase the darkness of the shadow values to make them a bit more connected. Right now the shadow value is quite close to the dark halftone.

Tried the pear. I think the simplification went well. Not so sure on the shading, I was working with 2H HB 2B and 4B pencils but I think it came out flat and lacks the roundedness the pear shows in the reference images.

Hi Mark, I think it is great, that you did all 3. You can go back and look at Proko's pear if you feel lost with this. I see that you didn't emphasise the core-shadow and the dark mid-tone in the 2nd and 3rd pear and you didn't give the 1st pear a dark midtone either. Doing this will help with the roundedness.

Hi. I used the reference pic of pear 1.

really nice drawing! I like how you kept the values seperate without outline the shapes.

Hey guys, I did an hour of studying the arm-bones, overlaying them on 5 images. This is really hard for me and it showed me, how little I know about the arm-anatomy. Also thinking in 3D space is challanging. Anyways, I would love to get some feedback on these. Cheers, Flo

Trying to get more information out of these gestures, by keeping it as simple as I can. I tend to start detailing and fiddling with it, when my mind is wandering.

Hey guys, I did 20 poses 45sec and 20 poses 60 sec. I used the hard round brush in PS to train my decision-making-ability. I kinda fell back into my pattern of tracing the outline on the first ones, but for some I could shake it off. Still feels a bit like a step back from last time... :D C n C very welcome.

These are some 30 seconds gesture practices. I tried to flow and only placed in important lines for the gesture. How did I do. Thanks for the critics in advance. Sorry I forgot to post these too. What else could help @Serena Marenco , @Cristina Kaiden and the others🥇🧨🥇

I think it is good, that you focus on simple lines. My main issue is presentation here. Using lined paper and a pencil that leaves very light grey marks, makes it harder to judge the drawings :)

Ok, so here is my second try. I redid the ones I posted last time twice and did 1 new sheet to get new impressions as well. Mid-practice I review both the video and the book "gesture drawing for animation" by Walt Stanchfield. I saw that he sometimes uses 1 line instead of 2 lines for each conture to draw i.e. an arm. I then tried to do that myself. Question: in the video, the example with the 3 balls is pretty clear (1 line connects them), but later Stan often uses 2 lines to describe the gesture. One for each contour. This to me makes it hard to stay away from looking at the contour and focus on the movement. What do you think?

I had trouble sticking to 45 seconds with some of these. Would love to hear your opinions :)
