Really nice work! Can't tell you struggled with them.

oh, these are my attempts, found them very fun to draw! I dont see the hand too sketchy, I'd rather prefer the angry penguin hahaha

Really nice job! I also like the angry penguin. Your lines are great, but I think you are putting too much pressure on the pencil as you're laying in the initial lines so they appear with the same darkness as your final lines. When you're using those searching lines, try to be very light with them, and only darken the line that you think look the best.

pinguin attempt, not so easy, can't get that simplified csi style with loose lines yet

I think you're on the right track. The curves of the flipper and the straight line at the back of the head that comes out from the curve at the top look particularly nice. Keep it up!

I'd really appreciate some feedback on these if anyone has time. I feel like I did something wrong and none of them represent the aim of the assignment.

You want to "map" the box to landmarks of the face. Here is what a profile view looks like within the box. You can see that the top cross contour matches with the brow line, and the bottom cross contour matches up with the bottom of the nose. The bottom of the box hits the chin, and the top of the box hits the top of the head, and the corner of the front of the box is about a 45 degree angle from the hairline. The key is to find the correct angles between the landmarks. It is a lot to keep track of, but with practice you'll get it!

Hi there are improvments for sure, but still difficult to draw perfect vertical/horizontal lines and of course straight lines 😭
Because my goal is digital drawings, i started with procreate since the beginning, should i use stabilization tool for the sketch brush ? Or maybe some advice about procreate pls 🙏
Still have fun for now haha

Using procreate/digital drawing programs for perspective drawings is useful because you can use the program to make perfect straight lines. In procreate, draw a line and don't remove the pencil from the screen - after a second or so, the line will become straight and you can move the end point to whatever position you desire.
I absolutely recommend practicing traditionally and continuing to train your pencil control in tandem!!

So many things I'm struggling with lol, like how exactly to draw from observation. I look, observe the subject for a solid like 30 sec to a minute, looking at the edges, curves, how many planes are showing, etc. Then look at the page and still struggle a bit to draw what I remember, but when I look at the subject again and bounce back and forth, I get a bit tripped out since the perspective slightly changed so deciding between being faithful to the drawing or to the subject is kinda rough.
I haven't really thought of tapering yet, since I'm drawing from observation, but I do want to try adding varying degrees of tapering/foreshortening once I draw from imagination (all of this was from observation). Line quality, how to actually draw an elipse, and other stuff are a bit frustrating too lol, but I'm honestly not stressing over it, so far this exercise has been pretty fun despite me complaining so much 💀

It sounds like you're doing the right things. Visual memory is a muscle that needs to be exercised, so as long as you are enjoying the process all there is to do is practice :) You can check out this visual memory game to help you with the reps: https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/project-visual-memory-games/assignments.

The first three images are level one, and I marked the ones who are level 2, along with what difficulty setting I chose to use. I did some figure drawing here and there in my own study regime, but obviously did not do it the right way. The more I did the more I got into it, so stan was right with that one. If there are any points of improvements letting me know is greatly appreciated! This is all pre demo, so I will be doing this again.

These look great @I did not Want to see that. Drawing rhythms in human figures is difficult because there is so much happening, bodies are very complex, rhythms within rhythms. We can organize them by finding the line of action first, and nesting the tertiary rhythms within. Finding the line of action helps us to create a sense of unity throughout the entire drawing.

Very creative. I like your spooky characters. I noticed a few pages where you drew people in a pose where the underside of the chin is showing significantly, which is a very difficult pose to draw. Here are a few Proko tutorials that could help you:
Loomis Head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EPNYWeEf1U&list=PL39135B8D190B7C97
Draw a Head from an Extreme Angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgK90TpV5fA&list=PL39135B8D190B7C97&index=4
The Loomis method is a very simple + easy way to draw a head from imagination. Use that method to help you lay in the the features in more extreme poses.
Hope that helps :) Cool sketchbook, keep it up!
