I think the biggest challenge here for me was figuring out how to use the sides of my pencil 🤣 I'm not sure I've managed to do that yet. But this was so fun!

Hey guys! I did another one. This one is Starfire, a study after Gabriel Picolo. Here the proportions are a bit off but I did my best! I did mess up my line weight a bit because I got impatient and didn't sharpen my pencil. I felt the same issue this time where I couldn't keep loose and I wanted to stay accurate so I ended up squeezing my fingers and using my hand/wrist to draw. When trying to stay loose though put too much pressure on the pencil and drew some very dark lines where I didn't want to. So I'd love any help I could get to avoid that! I analysed this one as well so I'd love to hear what you guys think of my drawing as well as my analysis.

This was the one I did previously. A study after Glen Keane. I think this one has mostly to do with light and shadow when it comes to line weight. It seems to me that he reserved a lot of the thicker and darker lines for big curves in the body, and darker lines where there is no light and lighter lines where there is glow. I did an analysis of it before trying it out myself so I've attached that here too.
One thing I did realize while doing this project and the previous rhino line weight project was that I tended to squeeze my fingers together and use my wrist more than my whole arm which is something I didn't have too much of a problem with previously. I think it might be because I'm focused on being too accurate or I'm afraid of accidentally putting a dark line at the wrong point. I can't figure out how to stay loose in these exercises. Do you guys know how I could avoid this? Do let me know what you guys think of my drawing as well as my analysis. I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Hey all! The work you guys have done is insane! I'm at awe just looking at all of these submissions!

Hey all! Here's the rest of my Sketching from Observation assignment! I did the penguin and VR girl (the ones of the right) and the hand again after the demo. And after watching the critique video I drew the wolf, the foot, piglet and Winnie the Pooh. So fun! I still think yIm having a bit of difficulty in keeping loose and for some reason it's easier for me to do that with cartoon characters than more realistic subjects. I'm not sure why. Either way, any critique you guys may have would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hey you guys! Here's my assignment! The first one is for the Hierarchy of Importance and the second one is for Light and Shadow. Do let me know what you think! Thanks!

Hello! Here's my assignment. I definitely struggled with keeping my sketches loose. I also just watched the demo and I feel like I'm still a little bit confused when Stan says not to look at the edges but to visualize the whole thing and discover it. If anyone has more clarity, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks!

Hey guys! I did the snail and the boots, once for the project, once after the demo, and once after the critique. Do let me know what you think! I did have to edit the pictures a bit, especially the ones I took after critique. I tried to stay more loose in that and so I think that led to v light lines. If you guys have any tips on how to take good pictures and how to not smudge your page especially when shading, I'd love to hear!

Hey all! So I've done a couple of pears. I did the levels 1, 2 and 3 pears before the demo. Another level 1 pear during the demo, a level 2 pear after the demo and a level 3 pear after the critique video. I think the last level 3 pear is the culmination of the progress I've made so far. I'd love to know what you guys think and any feedback you may have! I'll post pears of each level side by side for comparison. Thank you!

Hello! This is my first attempt at the Level 1 Pear . What do you guys think? Also, my drawings tend to smudge as I'm doing them, so would love ways that I can avoid that. Thanks!

I recently bought the course, but I don't have access to the course, only the first chapter. No access to other chapters: lines, shapes, etc.

The whole course will be released gradually, right now the latest video to be released is 'Project - Simplify from Observation'.

So excited! But I wanted to know, what's the schedule for the release of the videos? How long will it take for the whole course to be released?
