On struggle street here, any advice is appreciated. I am struggling with a few things at the moment as far as I can tell. I think the problem is getting stuck following the contour, and then when I realise I'm doing that and try to correct it I end up over simplifying and turning them into noodles. I'm planning on making this one a regular session and hopefully something clicks after some repetition!

Had a lot of fun with this, I find it quite therapeutic to do simple perspective like this. Can't wait for the next one!

A very fun exercise and also very revealing of how much I have left to learn! I feel like my chicken and hippo came out pretty good. However I felt I couldn't quite capture the expression/emotion of the buffalo, any tips there would be much appreciated. Then I went on to do a few more attempts of lions. One side profile which I thought was cute and the attempting to mess with the shapes to see the effect on personality of lions. The mane on them is weird to capture with a single line but you get the picture.

I think I've fallen in love with Claire Wendling's art now. I love the flowing lines. Most of the time the lines are quite soft and light however there are parts that get a little extra weight to them. I couldn't replicate the suttleness of the weight difference around the eyes and hair but I had a good crack. Proportions were really hard to replicate and I ran out of room but I think I started to get my lines to be a bit more true to the original towards the end (I did the girl on top last). Any feedback would be much appreciated! I think next study I'll pick a smaller piece or just focus on a small part of a piece so it's not so overwhelming with managing the proportions and I can focus on the lines only.

Any feedback is appreciated. My attempt at level 1. Usually I'm working on digital but have been enjoying pencils lately!

This is a thorn bug. I began by playing around with horns but didn’t end up using it in the final version. But I did keep the pointy mouth and big eyes. I then began thinking about how he looked armoured like he was in a war or something and pushed that further with the little tin helmet Vietnam war style.

Feedback welcome! First time posting.
