Thanks for the critique! I really enjoyed the ginger root assignment as well.

I'd like to try my hand at these. Are there photo references available or should I just use the video?

Hey guys, I need extra info. Maybe it's a language barrier thing (I'm a french canadian, billingual but still). I get all of them except one, what is a "chonky blaster gun" ? I've even google it and ... I'm still not sure of what it is.

I tried for a lanky character, a short grumpy dwarf-type character, and a fat kid playing with Lego. They turned out to be more like rock people than ginger root. I didn't use any photographs for poses. I used Procreate. I am pretty sure this is my first actual digital piece. I had fun learning how to customize brushes and shortcuts for adding new layers and merging them back down.

Hi there, didn't have much time for this project, but here are my attempts. All of them are from imagination while looking at images of ginger root to try and get the feel right. The last image with the knights are inspired from the character Nightmare from the "Soul Calibur/Soul Edge" series of games, although not from a particular design of the character.

Here are my attempts for level 1 and (maybe) level 2. This was super fun.

Hopefully I am still in time to submit ! It felt difficult to me when the cross contour line direction change. I have to make one of them straight and loose the 3D feeling. I have also tried to put everything together with line weight, gesture and shape design. Please let me know what you think about it :) In any case, I am very happy with it ! I remember previous lessons with the snail, sea lions etc. I feel way more comfortable drawing new animals than before ! I took many online drawing lesson but this one is the one that show the most improvement, I guess I needed some drawing basics 😅

Here are my random blob forms and a bonus shaded scene of 3 primitive forms from imagination to try and exorcise my apparently perverted subconscious.

Here is my assignment. On the 4th one, the cameleont I did the 2.5 challenge and changed pose and angle a bit.

Thank you for breaking it down to basics. I'm going to practice more.

I see this is a presale. There are assignments. Will there be student critiques provided as the course is released? Similar to how Stan does with his courses as he rolls them out.

This is a great additional, short, video by Marshall Vandruff on the Proko channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFKMw8YekFY

Here's my first follow along attempt of Minecraft -Steve. Thanks again

@Proko how would you practice cubes without measuring? Happy New Year to everyone!

Thank you for this video and the very clear explanations. I think I understand all the individual rules for line weights, but I struggle when I try to combine different sets of rules when drawing. For example: a cube sitting on the ground. Everything thick for the outlines: okay - but then it fights an ambient occlusion approach, that would tell me to make a thin or no line at all at the edge "touching" the ground. I tried to reverse engineer the rules of how other artists solve this, but I never got any universal solution out of it. Any ideas?
