Guys... I give up.... I am not even able to draw the ellipse correctly inside/within (??) the square. And the second ellipse does not change in perspective... ?!?!

I found it very difficult to get clean and correct lines without using a ruler. Especially for the objects I placed far away from the VP. Yet, I think I get the idea.

I tried some more. I find portraits kind of boring. So I decided to draw PARTS of a composition by Josh Kirby. It was like a puzzle made of 1000 pieces. And it was fun!! It taught me so much about proportions, measuring vs. eyeballing, negative shapes, clean lines, etc. Actually this project contained many aspects of the things I've learned in this course so far. The best thing was to discover that I've improved in terms of proportions since the first project (simplifying with shadows and lines, see the weird drawing below). See the persons not-existing hands :D (not ready to draw hands and fingers yet)

And have you guys also learned that your brains try to trick you in terms of proportions, dimensions and distances all the time?

First steps into level 2! I’ve been practicing simplifying animals with shapes for days now. Eventually I felt more confident. Any critique welcome :)

Hey guys. I have a question regarding Stan's critique. So what is the point with 2D (=shapes) vs 3D (=forms) in this project? I wonder why Stan critiqued the 3D forms in the first critique and then praised the 3D wolves @ minute 10??Maybe it is my fault and I see 3D when we have 2D :) Can anyone enlighten me?

What do you think? Not the best line quality (have been practicing for hours, lost patience, got tired) BUT i really stayed disciplined in terms of KISS :-) some starwars vibes with my horse, cricket and monkey.

Here is mine. I do a fair amount of this sort of thing, so this is in my comfort zone.

I was so scared of sketching from imagination. The result is a minimum of complexity and a crazy mix of 2D and very incorrect 3D "shapes" XD NOT. READY. YET!!!!!

Hearing the instructions a second time, finally activated my discipline. With my first ones, I fell in the trap of trying to imitate the original perfectly. Which makes no sense at all in terms of sketching. Finally I get it (I think) and tried my best to sketch confidently the lovely LOFI-Girl. :)

can anyone explain to me the difference between sketching and simplifying? What is the purpose of them. I wonder if simplyfing is kind of sketching? Or does sketching begins when using searching lines?🧐 Thank you!
Drew this camel after watching the Level 1 demo but before watching the Level 2 demo.

@Stan Prokopenko Which pencil do you use for your lines? The lines look (and drawing sounds!!) great.
By the way: Thank you a lot. I cannot tell why your lessons work, but I see progress everyday.

Dirty boots. The laces for the right shoe had to be hung on a hook to preserve my mental health.
Definitely doing the lvl 2 project blind and the doing it again after the demo is the best way to do it. Here is my first blind attempt and then a second exercise after this demo. Any feedback is appreciated. Photo is from Kimson Doan on Unsplash.

I'm a beginner and have no idea if your technique is correct. But I love your second attempt!!! I even recognize the original faces of both of the motives in your drawings

1. why is he looking at me so reproachfully and sadly? :(
2. why are my strokes so wild?
3. the project only taught me one thing: Impatience.
4 I need new pencils. In more than 2 thicknesses
5 I turned him into an elf.
:(((( Please tell me that those feelings are normal. Hopefully, I will make you proud by showing talent with flying boxes :)
