Harder than it seems! How do I extrude the wheels?! 😵‍💫😅 One in the top was easier for some reason.

Wow! Very useful. Much much harder than it seemed. Here are a couple of attempts. 1-6

just want to share that I did a painting with boxy horses (Swedish wooden Dala-horses) and receeding fences and realized how useful the X method and other perspective stuff was for this. Thanks Stan. 😀

Hi y'all. HELP PLEASE. Thanks to the suggestions of Lin, Nikklas Nilsson, & Arielle Ronin, here's my homework. I wouldve quit im afraid but Lin had an idea to draw rhythms of people in the newspaper with a crayon. I can do that! This led me to doing the same to my pictures & making a Rhythms Plan. Invaluable advice. They're not perfect. I'm level 1 with no knowledge of anatomy.

hi y'all, HELP PLEASE. Where are level 1 people supposed to quit? I missed where the stopping point is. Here's 3 hrs & 2 tries & I can't find the forrest OR the trees! I haven't missed any lessons, done all the assignments, draw on my own, etc & this is way beyond me. Don't get me wrong, I want to learn how to draw people, but this is crazy. What am I doing wrong? Thank y'all for all the help

Hi! Another noob here to share some ideas. The best tip I can give is to force yourself to complete every drawing in max 5 minutes. If it turns out horrible still try to complete it within 5 and then move to another model and try to complete it in 5 and so on. Fail fast many times and it quickly becomes easier I have found!

Here is my submission. I tried to apply some of the things we've learned so far, sorry if I made a mess!! D: This one was difficult but very fun.

I thought my weakness in drawing proportions of humans would make this exercise hell, but I actaully didn’t struggle that much with it. Focusing on rhythm seems too help getting proportion ok somehow. Will make more of these. Fun! 🤩

Hi! I have a question. Does this kind of set up defeat the purpose of the exercise? Does this become “sight sizing” instead of comparative measurement? If, so how would you recommend I place the reference? Just make it a bit larger/smaller to practise scaling?

Yay managed to catch up a bit in time to submit this one. Anyways, really find it hard to start the initial block in, figuring out those first marks, I always seem to get it wrong. Finally managed to get something that I'm ok with, gonna defo try some more of these though.

Not sure if i'm approaching this right but here's my assignment for level 1. I think i'm too used trying to find geometric shapes, will attempt this again with organic shapes in mind.

Some attempts at the buffalo. Like the one with more triangles even though squares feel more “heavy” and “stable”. 🐃

struggled a lot with the hippo until I realised that the open mouth could be a “bent triangle”. Very very useful exercise for me. So difficult to simplify. Will attempt the buffalo and some other animals tomorrow. 😅

Study of an ink drawing of another Swedish artist; "Lars Lerin". So fun to look at line work of your favourite artists.

Got attracted to the insane line work of the master "Anders Zorn" and tried it out! Fun but demoralizing at the same time. :D
