You look like you're having so much fun doing studies! I need to work on that. This video was so helpful! I struggled with the assignment but got something down after much fighting. I didn't use my own studies as references because I thought it was cheating and just tried to do everything from memory. (I have a bad memory and can't see things in my head too well so it went about as well as you'd expect) I'm going to try again tomorrow with references that excite me and see where it goes from there.

Here's my try at this exercise. I tried to be loose in my sketches but it's hard not to "correct" a line to make things look better. Not sure if I managed

I needed this pep talk! I've been trying to break into more imagination drawings and I always freeze up and go back to looking for a million references. I know references are great but I want to be less reliant on them! I want to be able to draw even if reference doesn't exist (like drawing fantasy creatures or mixing reference is a believable way). Also as someone who wants to design characters I'm ready for these projects!!

Watching the demo for these and I may have went in the wrong direction with these. I didn't want to be super analytical so I didn't use layins. Next time I'll be more careful with the proportions

Congratulations to all the winners! This was a very difficult one to judge because there were way more amazing submissions than prizes. And if I counted correctly, there are 105 prizes... We will be adding all the digital prizes to your accounts within the next few days. For those that won prizes that require shipping, we will reach out to you.

I had so much fun doing this! It was nice having a daily challenge with structure that I could just barge in without thinking. I have to figure out how to do this myself so I can continue to draw.

This one was fun!! 10 minutes each. One day I'll sketch farther than this stage but today is not that day!

These were more or less 10 minutes. Some went under as I didn't know how else to improve upon it without going into detail. Especially the portraits! Not much to do with those. This was hard because my brain wants to draw the actual person and not just do the structure. My structure isn't pretty either so it was hard to do but I got these done and that's better than nothing!

This one was hard! I took too long to lay in the figure and couldn't focus on the details. I had 10 minutes for each one but it looks like I had much less! I really struggled so I only did 4 this round. Probably should've added more time but I lost steam after the few fails.

I was really nervous to do this one since facial expressions aren't my forte but I had some real fun with it! The first three were 2 minutes. The rest were 10 minutes except for 5 which I wasn't feeling so I stopped at 6minutes and used the rest of the time for 6.

About 5 min gestures!! Took me a minute to get into the groove of gesture and not just drawing. I cut some a minute short just to keep from overdoing it.

10min sketches. This one was tough! i had to shrink my brush size to get better detail but then I ended up spending too much time in one area and couldn't finish the whole thing. It was a great challenge to get as much detail as I could in 10 minutes.

10 minute sketches. Had a lot of fun with this one. I feel like I'm understanding the forms of the body more. Had to redo number 5 because the proportions were killing me. I think it went better but still a little long.

Decided on 10 minute studies today so I can get more details in. They're not pretty but I think I'm getting better at laying in the figure.

Day 4! These daily challenges are super fun! I've been having trouble picking up my pencil lately so it's nice to feel productive!!

Man!!! This one kicked my butt!! I just did 5 minute sketches but I definitely needed more time to polish them up... Also shows the importance of warming up first!!
