Is this course for absolute beginners or should I start with another course? Thank you.

Well depends and what your goals are! If you are an Absolute Beginner than I recommend taking the beginning drawing course by Stanley Prokopenko.

I know, I am too late. I wanted to upload anyways. I did the Proko Skull in Ortho. I got it as a present for christmas :)

if I did anything wrong I would appreciate any feedback! I feel as I understood the assignment, The front view (X, Y), side view (Z, Y) and top and bottom view (Z, X).
The camera is longer but I end up making the X- axis more small. In the second attempt I tried to have more of better proportions but ended up making similar mistakes.
I purposely simplified my camera so it can be easier to draw from memory, so I don’t have to deal with the small details. I sketched a few 3 quarter view away from home to integrate the image in my mind ✍️

It looks like you got a lot out of this assignment. Keeping it blocky was a great idea. Carving out the cylinder for the lens would make it look more like a camera.
That might be the next level if you wanted to draw more cameras, practice the ellipses around the lens.
Great stuff, though. Thanks for sharing!

Attempted captain skully twice. First attempt was in blue. I realized I missed the point on this one after watching the demo and critique. I think I was so lost on how to start this one that the hairy lines were an inevitability. Second attempt was in pencil, I really tried to do the lines with single, confident and clean pulls. I did use some 'hairy' searching lines in place of ghosting to figure out where I wanted to place the line and then executed it and erased the hairs lol. I think it turned out much better. Would love some feedback 😁 thanks in advance!
Well done! and always make sure to compare angles throughout the picture, this will make sure the proportions are correct, the same thing you did on the 2nd attempt. And don't grip the pencil too hard, especially the tip of the pencil. The way you hold the pencil will change the way you draw.

I Don’t completely understand the human anatomy, but I do understand the idea of it especially with this assignment!
what helps me memorise those ideas, I use mnemonics, just has Patrick Jones does. The doorknob idea helps! 😎

I know I got the proportion wrong, especially on the side view sketch, the head size, the ribcage angle, and the pelvis square looks a little long, the spine tuning is also a bit strange, but I cannot make it in a proper way.
It’s nice that you see your mistakes, that means you’ll get better! Well done Andy!

Did you organise your values? or did you just went in and started shading?
The first one kinda was a blind attempt, second one was more of a copy pasta of the video, the 3rd one was a mix of both, I believe
