It's been a while since I've posted, but I've at least been continuing to draw. I'm really enjoying sketching and drawing! My son helped me colour his toy toaster : ) As always, critiques are welcome. I'm also curious if there is anyone else from Vancouver BC who is doing the drawing basics course. It would be fun to create a group that could go somewhere to draw together. Spring is here and there's plenty of things to see outdoors in Vancouver!

@Stan Prokopenko can this same type of sketching be done with an overhand grip?

I finally got around to the VR girl. This one was more challenging than the others, but I also tried to be more loose with this sketch and I think it helped. I managed to find a rhythm in the fingers of the big glove that helped with the shape and placement. I can see where the proportions are off, but surprisingly the most difficult part was the screen (or whatever it is) on the right.

Fun, but difficult to keep the strokes tapered and confident. VR girl is for another day!

Tapered line practice. Also trying out new Koh-I-Noor woodless pencil.

Could someone give me some advice with this tapered lines please? I tried to use the in these drawings but I don't think I'm getting it correctly. (I will keep practicing anyway but if someone has advice I would be greatful)

Wow, so much fun!

What are some good drawing tools with which to draw tapered strokes?

Day 14: Well, I'm not proud of the final entry in the two week drawing challenge, but at least I can say I made it. There's nowhere to go but up!

Day 13: I feel like it is more than twice as hard to draw something with two subjects. I spent more time on proportions and felt like my line quality suffered significantly. I'm not very happy with how this turned out, but I'm cutting myself some slack since I'm running on about four hours of sleep.

Day 12.5: I got some more time to draw this evening after my son went to bed. I watched the demo CSI video for the camel and captain skully first. I tried to be more confident with my lines. Critiques are welcome!

Day 12: Weekends are busy with a young one! I managed to sneak this in right after lunch.

Day 11: My hat made a surprisingly fun subject.

day #9

Day 10:

Day 1 (I know it's too late for day one, but I just started)

Day 9: Yesterday video was so good that I tried a little more complex subject (Ye I bought the same kit Stan has :B I like lead holders, they are like swords to me). Also, half the boots 🥾

Day 10. Spent way too much time on drawing the first image from the lovely movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I threw it away. Love the picture though, maybe another time. I chose to post the third image I already had; playing with pen and ink.

Day 10: I'm slowly loosing the motivation for this challenge. I find it hard to look for somthing to draw it from life every day. Wouldn't it be raining all day I would try going outdoor to keep the motivation up...

Day 10: I drew this after doing two things. 1. Watching the level 1 CSI demo video. 2. Practicing lines, especially working on straight lines. I noticed that the speed at which I drew was quicker, while accurate proportions did take a hit.
