Even with the simple form like this box, making decisions on the combinations of line value and thickness to express the importance, light, and depth were difficult.

Practiced depth and form line weight as watching the critique video. I tried to focus on the people the most, but it looks like the arch in the front is competing.

Combining the depth and form requires many decisions to make regarding how much emphasis I should make. I am not sure if I made good decisions.

Tried to organize line weight by depth. I wanted to make a little more gradual shift from dark to light, thick to thin than how I did.

The left one traced shadow, and the right one is based on importnace.

More practice. The head proportion is a little off...

I was not able to capture the slightly leaned-back angle of this meerkat. I think it is because I did not do well when drawing the first loose sketch to get a bigger picture like Stan demonstrated in the penguin example.

Keep practicing... Needs to loosen up more!

Practicing more as watching the critique video.

I think I am making some improvement in line quality, but it was difficult for me to capture the feeling of the cat's dynamic movement.

I would like to become able to draw animals and plants, so doing some extra practice on drawing these subjects.

After watching the demo parts for VR Girl and Hand, I worked on the penguin. Still need to improve the line quality and curves...

The hand was more difficult than the VR Girl as it had more curves. It is very difficult for me to draw very subtle curves. My curves tend to be more exaggerated than what they’re supposed to be.

My first attempt at this assignment. The line quality got better when drawing simpler strait structures, like the legs and feet, but when starting more complicated shapes like hands and the head, my line quality deteriorated.

Continue working on the line quality and simplificiation.

Drew before watching the skull part of the demo. I should have used the portrait paper orientation. Need to improve the confidence in drawing lines.

Drew this camel after watching the Level 1 demo but before watching the Level 2 demo.

After drawing the boots, I felt a little more confident in drawing lines for this one.

My first attempt at this assignment. It was very difficult for me to draw lines and curves as I intended. I tried to avoid drawing broken lines as much as possible but my hand was not well coordinated, and I had to stop and add lines or redraw lines many times. Also moving the hand in certain directions was more difficult and awkward. I need to improve my hand and arm control.

Hi, I just enrolled in this course a few days ago. I am completely new to drawing or any form of visual art. It is my fourth try at drawing fruits or vegetables. I finally was able to draw something that I could show to other people. I do not have my sketchbook yet, so I drew on the back side of a piece of used printing paper.
