added comment inDemo - Different Ways to Use Line Weight
Created an opportunity to practice a bit of line weight problem solving with a simple sketch. A lifetime of exploring and practicing ahead of me. It is exciting. And I look forward to improving.
Before and after viewing demo sketches for each hierarchy of importance and light and shadow. Very instructive videos and exercises.

After viewing the demo and the critique I did this assignment a second time with a new model, the praying mantis. I was quite challenged the first go around even after a second attempt at drawing from imagination with my first character, the prairie dog. So, I decided to try again. It's been a very good exercise for me beyond the sketching skills parts. Now I feel like I can move on with the course. Though I will do these again in the future for my continued learning and growing.

A Level 2 assignment is a challenge for me, and then the added imagination component made it even more so. In any case, I came up with a rock star prairie dog. A good exercise for me to stretch.

Such a fun idea! I think with blobby creatures like these, it can help to think about two balls attached together (one small one for the head and a larger squishy oval-like one for the body). Breaking it down like that can give you more control to move and pose the figure around, so you are less attached to the reference and can work with looser lines from imagination.

The skull took quite some time, the camel less. Am ok with them considering they are level 2 which is not really my level. But I want to learn so I gave it a go.

Day 1 was Simplify CSI snail and boot; Day 2 was a re-do of the boot. Days 4-10 were done while in a moving vehicle on a road trip; Days 11 is skull from Level 2, Simplify CSI. Definitely a good exercise to get into daily habit of drawing. I look forward to developing more confident lines. And I need to work on simplifying.

Feeling a bit dissatisfied with my process of doing the boots the first time (left pic), I re-did them a second time after watching the demo (right pic). They both look like boots but...
Hi Nancy! I see so much improvement in your second attempt. Your lines flow better and look more confident. Just by looking at these images I can tell that a lot of learning is happening, keep up the great work!
