A few more….

Learning to loosen up them lines a bit.

I'm not an expert on this, so take this with a grain of salt, but I feel like doing small breaks for stretching will go a long way with relieving pain the next day!

I wanted to ask a pretty basic question. I am loving these lessons and I’m finding that my thirst to draw has increased. I pretty much have been drawing every night and usually a couple of sketches during the day. I have by no means mastered any of these lessons. I’m wondering what I should be drawing when I’m not doing these lessons. I have been drawing from books and photos but I feel like I’m just copying. Are there any other things I can be doing to start learning things like volume, rhythm, Etc. Should I just keep repeating the past lessons?

Here is a loose line drawing from imagination

Here is my sketch from imagination and reference……PUNK ROCK CHICKENS!!!!!!

Doing some warm ups and discovered a fun warm up using loose sketching and tapered strokes for a different type of mushroom.

Had to loosen up a bit with some warm ups then after that it was pretty fun and challenging

Chugging along trying to draw everyday.. Decided to add a little watercolor to my drawing

i have been really enjoying these lessons. I have been trying to control my lines a bit better as well going off the rails from time to time but I’m drawing every day and really enjoying the process

Fish wine opener

The perspective is way off but the line quality is getting a little better…..

Hell yeah. Is this your before or after attempt?

my 2nd attempt after watching the demo. It took me considerably less time the 2nd time around to draw...

Went outside and did a drawing of dead prairie flowers and went in and drew this pig

Here is my 2nd attempt at the skull and hat. You can see the lines from the previous skull in the paper. Perhaps I need to lighten up my touch. Lines are super sketchy you can see the nerves coming out in the lines Not super stoked on it, I feel like im taking a step backwards

Alright well here are the other examples that I tackled tonight. I struggled pretty hard with the boots while the camel was a bit easier....

Here is my simplify to csi Level 1. I really tried to make this into simply shapes although I detailed the shell too much. This took a bit longer than I thought it would and the results are not great.....goals......its all about goals right?

Here is my line drawing. Pretty thick lines perhaps I should play with thickness of lines.....
