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'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.

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.

Tried my hand at a portrait. Would love any critiques! :) "It's not a phase! Gosh!"

First Attempt!

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. Reference photo credit: @earthsworld on Instagram.

Second attempt

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.

First attempt at the back. I appreciate any critiques!

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.

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.

Doodles!

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
