Hi guys, do you think this methods works for life drawing too?

Followed along while watching the demo. I tried making more completed sketches of a couple of the drawings I did and I think the shapes came out really well. Especially the banana shaped one.

Pretty cool assignment. I think I can do a much better job exaggerating the shapes next time.

I had a lot of fun with this one. The shape design was the most challenging part. But once I got some inspiration from the work of Chris Ayers (who has amazing shape designs, btw.), it went so much better. I can't wait to continue exploring shapes more in the next lessons.

Perfect timing for this line master study, as I just got this collaboration book with art by Kim Jung Gi and Katsuya Terada. They have pretty amazing line drawings so I decided to practice from there. I only used a fountain pen and a brush pen for each drawing, as I think that's how each master drew them. I did notice while attempting to replicate the lines, that you need to have a flow, momentum, and confidence to get some of the lines.

I don't have a printer and I do not feel like finding my drawing tablet and setting it up, so I drew the entire rhino by hand. So it helped me get some practice in of the previous lessons. Hopefully the lines show up well enough in the picture. I think I did a really good job capturing the proportions of the rhino. I also tried focusing on using the line weight to make sure the front leg appeared to be coming forward the most.

anyone know a website of images i can sketch for practice?

I did a Long tailed Indian Paradise Flycatcher. I picked this animal because of the feathers on the head and the long flowy tail. I love how much movement and gesture the tail conveyed. I could've been much more dynamic with the final drawing, but that's ok.

Took me a while to figure out how to get the drawing from imagination. I practiced drawing from the references a bit first to get comfortable with drawing the lion. Then I reminded myself to draw a little looser and draw big shapes(generally starting with the mane and kinda going from there) to get something to go off of. And then once I finished the drawing I realized it didnt take up the entire page. Oh well.

Attempted to use only straight lines for outlining. But I now realize I could have done a better job at keeping the lines/edges more clear on the inside to show the different planes on the surface of the pears.

Was practicing some beans and then drew Kirby from a stream I was watching at the time. Then some random stuff after I saw this was lesson was posted. Also did Hollow Knight in a new sketchbook im starting to learn more watercolor this year.

I hoard art supplies more than use them. Hoping to turn that around with this class and a daily habit of having fun while making art. This was relaxing and enjoyable, which I need to remind myself art as a hobby is supposed to be. Looking forward to the basics course!

Here are my first couple attempts at this. I think this is a pretty challenging section.

It seems that Stan does not use the bean in this demo. Are we supposed to do it like he does in the video or do we have to use the bean and put the landmarks on it?
