I thought my rhinos were pretty decent until this haha XD. I learn so much from these and the demo videos! Much more fun to be had learning and practicing.

For hierarchy I focused on contour, horns, mouth, ears, and eye. For shadow, well, hopefully that’s self explanatory!

Late this project but finally complete! This is before watching the demos.
I must say… I really enjoyed sketching and avoiding the eraser, it’s not something I’ve done before and it’s SO much fun. It feels great to let loose, no pun intended. 😄

I have a question on the assignment. I'm I suppose to go more in the direction of Gestural drawing? I feel like this is the aim for this assignment. Don't worry about details get the energy. That's what I'm getting, correct? I just see a lot of people going into details.

Agreed, it looks like people are trying to have "clean" drawings and aren't doing loose, gestural lines.

I know zero about background shading and perspective, but here we go! 😄 Not perfect, but was fun to draw and much more challenging than I expected.

It's so great to see Stan do very human things like draw a shoelace into the wrong hole, or make one too thick and correct it. We can all relate! :)

Level 1 assignment. The boots were very very hard. I had to do a lot of measuring and draw many construction lines. I have no idea how to simplify the laces and at this point, after spending several hours on this sketch, I just don't have it in me to try and draw them in all their detail. I am happy with how the boots came out though.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who took hours! Thanks for sharing that. 😄 Nice job with proportions.

Glad I tackled this. I was pretty intimidated at first.

As a beginner this took me quite a while to complete, but I really wanted to do a decent job at proportion. Feedback is always appreciated. 🙂
I decided to number the laces when drawing to help keep my brain in the right spot! Included some images of the progression as well.

I never thought it would be so hard to make a ventilator

edit : camel added. proportions are terrible, but it kinda makes him cute af.

Dog toy (hippo 🦛) and mosaic lamp. Kept to about 30 mins each. I’m observing that I need to work on clean lines and even tone and line weight! I have a habit of tracing lines multiple times for no good reason.

Decided to try two pencil types with this very fun warm-up. Feedback always appreciated!

Attempt number two after watching Stan’s video. First drawing and Stan’s comments are included too for reference. Any feedback is appreciated!
After seeing it posted I think my darkest halftone could have been a touch lighter. I shaded it in further at the end… oops! 😅

Attempt #1. First time drawing fruit and shading! I may have simplified a bit TOO much. Will give it another go this week. Any feedback is appreciated!

I am very new at drawing skillfully, but committed to doing it every day! Really looking forward to this course and to eventually not having a shaky overhand grip (ha).
For this assignment I decided to pull out some dog books and do a couple drawings from that, plus try a blending stump which was a bit messier than I expected! 🐶
