Hi everyone, Here's my assignment for the Level 1 warmup. This exercise was more difficult than I thought, but was really insightful none the less. Thanks !

Hi everyone ! Here's my level 2 assignment. I went for an hercules beetle for my choice of bug. At first, I was not sure what I wanted to do. But I finally decided to do an old beetle king. I thought that using the concept of the Strong, solid beetles with it strong horns, would do a nice contrast with an old and weak king. Here's the study, refs and the final draft. Thanks everyone !! I hope you guys enjoyed this project as much as I did.

So these are my attempts! I am not used to drawing from imagination to be honest but this seemed to be pretty fun. First attempt wasn't great but then I came up with something pretty decent I think!

Thank you stan !!! This critique was really helpful.

I struggled to understand if I should upload this or not, because it’s so far off from everyone else’s! I tried to go for the uber simplification, planes + one value, and not sure if it corresponds to what Stan wants or not.

Hi Stan, Hi fellow students ! With the help of Stan's review of my latest post and this pear demo, I've been refining my assignment. I corrected my values, which were too light and confusing. I was also using some outline between my values which I didn't want to. I think the reason why was because I was using too much pressure in the contour at the beginning of the sketch. So, I erased some parts to do some nice, clear shaped, values. Thanks you stan for the feedback a few days earlier and this amazing Demo !! Really looking foward to learn some more in the upcoming videos.

Here's the first assignment, for level 2. And a little frustration during process, bonus !

Here's my first assignment for the level 1. I use a small sketchbook, which is 5.5in X 8.5in. I think it's poor quality with rough texture on the paper, which affects my line quality. I have some difficulty to fill properly the values. I might buy some quality supplies soon ahaha. But for now, I had a lot of fun to simplify the subject. I'll work on level 2 and post it afterwards. Critique welcomed.

Hi guys, here some sketches :)

Hi everyone, I'm a graphic designer, interested in comic art. Looking forward to re-learn the basics and polish them. Here's my warmup sketches for the upcoming lesson. Really excited to learn with all of you.

There is my attemps with portrait assignment.Any criticism is welcome.

Hey you guys! I took the reference of the pear that Stan gave and made this! Would love some feedback. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I would call myself an intermediate artist. I have some background in oil painting, but I want to hone my skills in drawing, especially perspective and drawing from imagination :) I will also do this course digitally. I hope everybody has a great time learning and practicing. I just finished this portrait. I would love to get some feedback :) Cheers from Germany.

Hi, I had so much fun drawing while waiting for the upcoming course, so I drew the subject again. Thanks to the feedback of Stan, I worked on my values and shadows. I wanted to show you my blocking process, but I forgot to capture it. Before i knew it, I was finished with my assignment :( Anyways, here's version 01 and 02 (After feedback). Thanks !

Me again, here's the portrait assignment !

I know it’s early but I got inspired by everyone..and the perfect reference picture Proko posted. So, I popped in my ear buds, played Game of Thrones soundtrack and got lost. Tried several mediums graphite mechanical pencil, ink and ball point pen. Any criticism is welcomed.

Here’s my pear. Please forgive the scratches in the paper. There is a whole group of pencils that are about to get banished from my collection 🙈 I know it’s early but am glad to get started regardless. Any feedback cherished.

Did 4 pear sketches, the two on top are from the reference in comments and the others from the video. Attempt #4 was done while referring to his sketch in the video. I liked how my sketches started but not so much after adding the lighter tones.
