So, these were before the demo and critique. Honestly, I don't think I'm going to be redoing the boots again lol the shoelaces were really difficult. I saw the demo already and saw his approach to just drawing a sort "box" to incase the boots in. I think I am going be using that technique from here on out. Any feedback is welcome I'm not sure if my other posts have gotten feedback because I don't know if there is a notification that goes off if one is given feedback.

These are my most recent Blobs to Boxes. I do feel a little unimaginative with the project and find myself folowing the same routine with each set of Blobs ! I'm not sure how to vary things more. Looking at the drawings I've posted, I've just noticed that I've lost diminution alot too, as I've got larger boxes further away! I've also noticed you can't see my blobs ! So I've highlighted them in the second image.

2024/4/23. Good morning everybody. Here's another tribute to my favorite Disney movie ever: "Clash of Spirits" (acrylics and acrylic gouache on Fabriano watercolors smooth paper, 30.5 x 45.5 cm, 300gr). Thanks for your comment or critique. Have a good day!

Exaggeration - Day 2 First day of trying to exaggerate a pose on my own. Was incredibly difficult but looking forward to trying more this week

It was ok drawing the penguin and some parts of the character with the whole arm and shoulder but the hand demanded much more precision, and I just did the first gestural lines with the whole arm and quickly switched. I can't really do tapered lines for the moment. Also, I don't know if the overhand grip is the best option or just normal grip but moving the whole arm? Any opinions? :)

Fun and helpful.

Level 1 attempt. I am hoping that I was on track for what this assignment was asking for. I think I should’ve slowed down a bit and thought through a plan with the blob instead of trying to jam a three point box into a 2D space at times. Any further feedback is appreciated

i made the finger bones too thick😅

I found the Penguin and hand gesture the most challenging due to a lack of straight lines. I couldn't resist erasing instead of just drawing more lines on top of each other and I need to focus more on the gestural lines instead of getting lost in the details. Overall, I liked this project.

I made several attempts with the base exercise reference and this other one... I got pretty close in the end, but I still managed to squeeze the top and bottom parts a bit. I'll keep practicing. Gosh, this is tough.

Here's my second attempt after watching the Demos. It's a skatepark I struggled alot with this one because I started frawing the furthest objects first and projected them away fram the vanishing point. This made it much harder to make all my lines converge to the vanishing point. I ended up using a ruler to make guides for my converging lines. All critiques are welcome!

the graphite range that worked for me was: 4B 2B HB F. 1st range was too close, 2nd too far; finally felt good about the 3rd pear.

Gonna do this lil goober

Here's my pre-demo attempts at the assignment. Simplifying the hair and trying to capture the subtle value changes in there was really throwing me through a loop. I'm looking forward to this course!

Here’s mine, will have to do more of these.

Had more trouble than I expected doing this exercise digitally. I find that my ellipses are more accurate if I go fast, but my line weight is better if I go slow. Will definitely keep practicing this!

Additional hippos, level 2

Here's my first attempt at the 'Trace models' assignment. I may revisit these after watching the videos again. Critiques welcome!
