This has been the hardest project for me so far. Left is before demo and critiques, right is after. I just couldn't wrap my head around wrapping boxes around these heads..

Designing the room was a lot of fun! Spent about an hour on this one. I'm going to try more rooms from one of the other angles Stan demonstrated. Definitely going to pay more attention to the convergence, as well as making sure my horizontals and verticals are solid, on the next one.

I enjoyed doing this one a lot! Some poses are definitely harder for me than others. My brain just didn't want to see the rhythms in certain positions. I also spent way too much on each one. About 15 minutes each. Going to try the level 2 next to force myself to go faster. I also need to work on accuracy. Critiques welcome!

These are solid drawings! Just a word of advice, if you want to work faster you may sacrifice on accuracy a bit. But as a reward, you may get more exaggerated gesture. The more you understand about anatomy the faster you can go accurately, so working quickly can be a good test to see where the gaps in your knowledge are. Keep up the good work :)

I feel like I can definitely push the gesture WAY more, and need to explore more shapes. Now that I've looked at this drawing again after 20 minutes, they seem flat. I also could not figure out how to draw that last seal... It looks too much like a strange dog haha

The self check is incredibly helpful. Definitely shows me how much more I need to practice.

I definitely need to explore and push shapes more. A really fun exercise though!

This project just made me appreciate Karl Kopinski even more. Studying this opened my eyes to how in control he is. Trying to emulate the taper and organic feel of his lines made me realize just how NOT in control of my lines I really am, and how much I need to study and practice. Tried to do some self-critique as well. I realized after watching a like 25 of his Reels that he definitely doesn't always start with the eyes. Looking forward to more studies like this!
If I had seen "attempt 3" out of context, I could easily have thought Kopinski drew it. Subtle but solid improvement in each try! Nice!

Rhino Project done digitally. Hierarchy and Light Order respectively. I haven't really used my tablet that much so this was an interesting experience.

Tried to stay as loose as possible. Still found myself getting caught in the little details tho.

Those boots were TOUGH. My brain just didn't want to put the laces in the right places.
