added comment inProject - Learning to Sketch from Imagination
Asked for help
It really helps to pull from your experiences when you're drawing from imagination. I worked out some shapes first using reference from the kiki pictures on the left. Then I started to think about some cats that I know in real life. I thought about how upset my roommate's cat gets when you don't play with him and that gave this little guy a lot of attitude.

Hahaha. I definitely can relate to my cat. This really fits the mood of a grumpy slightly annoyed cat. The foot sells it to me. Love it!

After viewing the demo and the critique I did this assignment a second time with a new model, the praying mantis. I was quite challenged the first go around even after a second attempt at drawing from imagination with my first character, the prairie dog. So, I decided to try again. It's been a very good exercise for me beyond the sketching skills parts. Now I feel like I can move on with the course. Though I will do these again in the future for my continued learning and growing.

Had some trouble with this one, but still a fun exercise.

I don't consider me lever 2, but this I triend anyway.
I choose the european olm als my species. It's a very interesting creature that lives in pure darkness and doesn't have eyes. However, there is on cave population in Slovenia with a little light, there the olm turns bkack and has eyes. My idea was to make a only half blind one. Also these guys look like little dragons and that's kinda cool.
Well, seeing it now, the head looks realy flat and formless. I do not have more time today,
but it should look more like this:

Don’t we all.
I think it’s cool how you pushed the proportions. And your line quality is really strong.

Phew, I spent quite a bit of time on this task. When it came to the boots, I tried several approaches but kept getting stuck with the laces. All the erasing caused me to lose the CSI method during the process as well. That's why I worked on the right boot (red pencil) more quickly and without erasing. Unfortunately, I completely missed the proportions on both heels.
The snail was much easier—I barely had to erase anything here.

Hi community!
Can someone please tell me how to attach my image? I see the options "album" and "cancel". When i click on album it's empty. I don't know how to get any images in the album.

I haven't watched the demo yet, but I feel this turned out okay-ish. However, now that I’m seeing it, I feel the darkest value in the apple is wrong. I also found it hard to draw the cast shadows for some reason. Criticism is welcome

This is a bit technical, but since you said you struggled with the cast shadows hopefully it helps. The cast shadow is made up of two basic parts, the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the darkest part of the shadow. The penumbra is outside of the umbra and receives a bit of light creating a falloff effect.
When the light source is very close, the penumbra shrinks, making the cast shadow very crisp. It becomes just a tiny crescent around the umbra. When the light source is far away, the penumbra grows and makes a soft edge that is lighter in value.
The closer the light source is to the object, the more blown out the values will be (less midtones and more lightest and darkest values).
