Mushrooms! Great warmup!

Hi!! Can I join your group as I want to improve my drawing skills.

This is a great idea Tasha! I don't have discord but we could just use this forum you've created to post things we're working on. It would be great to get critiques on things we're working on for fun and to ask each other questions. What courses are you and @wonsession currently taking? I'm currently going through the drawing basics course as well as the portrait drawing course. I have others lined up, but I'm taking my time with them to develop as much as I can. So, a little bit about myself. I'm from North Carolina, but ended up living in Scotland for a very long time and wound up meeting my other half there. Now, my girlfriend and I have recently moved to her home town in Ireland. after our move I ended up discovering my love for drawing. I sketch and attempt to create things most every morning, where I listen to podcasts. I have a desk and a space in our shared office where I can create and learn. I love book and games and film and like to try and draw and create things from these mediums. I look forward to hopefully chatting with you both and seeing whatever things you are creating or working on. Thanks again for creating the group Tasha!

I had thought I would do the Level 2 projects after I completed the course but I decided to go ahead and do the Level 2 Project soon after completing the Level 1. It was quite challenging for me but I am happy with the improvement from the left one done pre-demo, and the right one done post-demo. Proportions are a challenge as is shading, particularly with the lighter shades. Good fun doing this and look forward to learning this until second nature.

My second attempt at the level 2 project after watching Stans demo. It really opened my eyes to the process. I want to do a bunch more of these! It really helps to simplify down to basic shapes and values, especially when it comes to proportions. I love it!

here is my trial for dear pear 1 :) look forward to receiving feedback <3

2nd attempt of the level 1 pear project after watching the demo.

Hi everyone. These were my first attempt before watching the demo.

I started this course a while ago but took a pretty long break so I'm just going to restart. Any advice/critique is welcome :)

Here's my level 2 attempt. This assignment was really difficult, but I had a lot of fun working on it. I may have also veered off the path from sharp edges and straight lines, but I couldn't help myself. It doesn't really look like the model either, as the eyes are too big in a cartoonish way and It feels like the face has an almost Smeagol like cheekbone structure to it, Hahaha. Either way, I really enjoyed doing the level 2 portion after my level one attempt and I'll definitely continue to do so as I progress through the course.
