Attempt to draw T-Rexes from imagination. Blue sketches were drawn from observation at the beginning. Btw I love the Jurassic series for so many years, eventually I get done with a dinosaurs sketch from imagination. Not one ,but three. It was a challenge.

Here's my submission. I made 2 attempts at the full-page sketch from imagination.
I'm not sure If this is what the assignment required, were we supposed to stylise and exaggerate our subject?

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

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!

I still need to stop looking at details but at least I think I am getting more confident

I had a tough time mentally with the hand. There are so many lines and creases, I had to stop for a few minutes to mentally prep and remind myself - Sim-pli-fy.

I've learned today that if I use a color pencil that I cannot erase easily that I do better with being more free and relaxed, I know it is weird but it worked for me. I am excited to see where the is going to go from here.

I absolutely love sketching in color pencils. Especially soft color pencils (if you can get Caran d'Ache brand). Sometimes it's really refreshing to sketch in color.

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.

Hi everyone!
As a monthly challenge on a Discord server, I had to draw a portrait. I thought it was a nice opportunity to combine the challenge and the exercise proposed by Stan. Here are my drawing and the reference photo.

I used three darks (8b, 6b, 3b) for the darks instead of two for the pear.
Attempted the Level 2 as well with stages in the progress attached. Used 8b, B, 2h, and h5.

Any advice for keeping a steady hand when measuring?
My hand keeps moving, especially when I am moving my desired measuring unit across the subject I feel like I can't "stack" my measuring units accurately.

Use your other hand to brace your arm. Just goes keep doing it. Build that shoulder strength.

Hello. Sometimes I struggle with the pelvis, and how to imagine the pelvis as a box, instead of round disks; like, where would the corners of the box be? I'd love and appreciate some tips on drawing the pelvis as a simplified shape.

Hello, I would very much appreciate a critique of my muscle placement for the shoulder. Additionally, I struggle a lot with mentally imagining the box around the hip bone. Like, where do the corners of the box go? Would love and appreciate some tips.

Hello! I figured I would start having fun with my supplies by doing a skull study and some gesture drawings where I added some anatomy; still rough with anatomy, but the journey is fun!
The tools I use are incredibly cheap save for the inking markers. My mechanical pencil is the regular BIC 0.5 HB, my wood pencil is a Ticonderoga #2, my eraser is the usual pink rectangle (dunno the name), I don't know sketchbook brand, and my inking pens are the SB and 0.3 size Faber-Castell.
My sketches are not perfect, but I had a lot of fun! If you have any critiques, let me know! I'm still experimenting a lot.

Your shapes are awesome! I especially love the lady leaning forward and the bottom skulls.

Just doodling and playing is a great way to break the ice in this class.
I mostly use graphite pencils and the ever-reliable Strathmore 400 series Sketchbooks. 2B was my go-to for the longest time, but lately 2B has felt "mushier" and I've been trying to find finer, harder pencils (I'll still use 2B when I want something softer). This was done mostly with 2H, and some Tombow markers and Prismacolor pencils-- which I rarely ever use, but I had them and the course said to play so I tried them out again and fun was had by all. I have a bunch of Pigma Micron pens that I like for lines and inks, various tortillions that I use frequently but don't know any technique with, and that about rounds out my toolbox.

Hey all, please critique my calf assignment. Having just looked at Stan’s work again, I see I could have spent more time on line and shape design (straights vs curves, assymetry, etc). Thanks

I think these look great! If I could offer any critiques - mostly a personal taste - I think some harder edges in the shading of the quad(?) - the first image where the guy is squatting.
