Wow after Lines and a few Shape lessons. I have finally reached the hardest part of the skill and the most tedious and time consuming skill required. Im so happy I made it this far. But I am very fearful already this is one of the most complicated habit I need to acquire. Here it goes :)

I'm in exactly the same boat! I got to this assignment and I've put it off for the past week, purely sketching from life using all the skills learnt thus far - but the time has come for me to finally start the project...

Okay, let’s try again.:)

For this assignment, it was interesting to simplify the animal faces into shapes even though I’m not very good at drawing animals to begin with. It taught me to break things down into it’s important shapes which was a bit frustrating but fun.
If anyone has any advice they’d like to give me on what I can improve then go ahead, I’m all ears.

I noticed a few things which I think could make them look nicer:
1) I'm not sure if you've watched the demo yet, but Stan emphasised the need to make things shapes. Such as your horse's snout not actually being a shape but just a line/outline.
2) I think the teeth are integral to express the idea of the tiger opening its mouth like it is.
3) Try adding the neck if you have any left over shapes before the ideal maximum of 10.
Nice job overall though!

First attempt at level 2 of this project. I wasn't sure how far to take the simplification of the skeleton captain, so that's one thing I hope to clarify for myself with the demos. Still, this was really good practice. Thanks for the assignment. Any feedback is appreciated.

My attempt at a different shoe project. The proportions are wrong, which I realised too late however, my main aim was to use the line weight effectively

Day twelve. Again starting my day with some observational drawing. After doing the ‘’Shadow and Light’’ project of the rhino I tried implementing it into this sketch.

Day three of the challenge. Chose a simple fake plant I came across earlier today. I got carried away with the flowers as I've added more than we're actually present. I find plants are really good for sketching while working on your CSI skills.

Day eleven. After my girlfriend and I finished our life drawing class, I ventured off to my local park again.

I made the levels too bright as some of the details didn’t come through in the printer. But here’s my attempt

'An adult giraffe eating from a tree, whilst a baby giraffe drinks from a stream underneath'. (Unfortunately the tree is only there in heart)
I wanted to research an animal that I knew almost nothing about before attempting my own drawing from imagination, doing sketches of giraffe's over the past few days. Its a fun task I'll definitely revisit regularly.

Day eight. I didn't have any time to sketch before work, so I brought along a little A6 sketchbook that's been laying around for weeks in my room and I think I've finally found it's use; carrying around with me to sketch whenever possible.

Day seven. I tried to draw with more pace and I think it worked out well, very happy with the perspective on this.

Here are my sketches for the project, starting with the penguin, I failed countless times before this one getting the proportions right. The VR Girl and Spider Hand here are the first attempt.
I've been listening to the Draftsmen a lot whilst drawing and critiquing your own work is an important thing I've taken away from episodes.

Submitted for your approval: one VR Girl. Upon initial inspection, a harmless, if somewhat amusing, cartoon. But for one particular, Proko protégé, a portal into… The Twilight Zone.

Nice sketch, you captured everything so well. Can I ask if the blue was used for your foundation or just for added colour? Really suits the style regardless of which one.

Day six. This took far too long just for an object made of cylinders and rectangles. Tomorrow I'm going to draw with pace and more confidence, there was a lot of erasing involved here.
