I would appreciate some constructive criticism on this. I'll review the demonstration after posting to identify areas for improvement. @Martha Muniz

I did several versions of each including the monkey! I have numbered them. Tell me which ones are your favourite and what would you have done to push them further?
I’ve starred the ones that I like and added some detail to some of them as well. I found the hippo the hardest. I will probably attempt it again after watching the demos.

Here is my study of one of Sana Takada’s Monstress covers. Initially I was aiming to do the full character (including the hair and the tails), but it took quite a while to get the body with all the details in place. I used 3 graphite pencils (H, 3B and 6B) for this study, although the drawing is obviously with ink. So I tried to imagine how she would have drawn this figure if she used Graphite and capture the spirit of it.
What I love about Sana’s work is how clean and detailed it is. While doing this study I realised that a lot of lines taper from think to thin to think, they are thicker when they meet another line. It is a very subtle effect, but it gives a 3D feel to them. I’ve mostly tried this in the inner shapes.
I might go back at some point and add the tail and the hair.

this is one of my line studies of Ecuadorian Master Edward Kingman (known as the hand painter). I struggled more than I thought, it is much harder to do loose lines than it seems (that’s why he is a master) critiques much appreciated!

Chose these high heels to draw, definitely struggled with making my light lines light enough and how much lighter to make the front shoe vs the back shoe.

My second attempt at this project with komodo dragons. At first I was thinking of giving them bat wings and making them into classic dragons, but after doing the studies I found that they are already pretty cool as they are and came up with the nervous looking one at the end.

My level 1 results. The light and shadow one was definitely harder. I did these before watching the demo, but now that I have seen the demo I see what could have made that easier: thinking about contrast as well as light and shadow.

I had some trouble with the lighting, which made it hard to trace, but I think I did a pretty good job. What do you think? The fist one is my attempt of tracing the linear version of the photo to avoid getting distracted by proportions. The second I used the hierarchy of importance method and last but not least I used the shadows and light direction method.

This is why I’m here: to get better at drawing from imagination. This was a fun exercise and proboscis monkeys are really funny and fun to draw. The design pages have a combination of drawings that mainly follow the references and ones that deviate or combine things. I’m not sure if the final drawing (the biggest one) is my favourite though.

Level 2. I tried to do more CSI here. Especially for captain skull, which I did after watching the critique but before its demo.
