2nd try after watching proko, realized I need to be more lose so here they are

is anyone else finding making tapered lines difficult? I feel that when I try and slow down so that it gets darker in the middle the lines becomes sloppier, but if I try and do a quicker and more confident line then it is usually uniform in its darkness

Choose the japonese rhino beetle for the aassigment, starting by observation some of the images i researched and then moving to imagining the beetle in diferent poses / expressions (keep refering to the references to see if was correct what I was doing) I used Pureref for organizing my references (if anyone interested in something to display / organizing ref is a great app to do so)

hand and penguin done

2nd try

ir feels to be more of a birdie than a penguin, but tomorrow trying it again.

trying the exercise on diferent images, Next time problably should try to push the edge of the roof a bit more

and finally the skull

the camel done

and finally the snail his "house" is bit tall but overall seems pretty good

Second boot were i tried to incorporate everything i learned at the same time (and was in a time crunch)

I did have some difficulties making the first boot. 1 try: Probably worring about making the right curve was making me not see the the right porpotions 2 try: tried only make straight lines to simplify in the beggining, but the porpotions were also not right 3 try: made the "silhoutte" porpottions so things were right from the begging > overlayt shepes in straight lines > cruves > laces (they were somthing XD) in the overlay it turned a bit deflated on the bottom but adds caracter/ cartony feels that i quite like (even to it goes against the exercise objective).

Day 2

1st day

2º set of warmups, now with a lot more experimenting with porpotions, rotacion ...

Its rainning mushrooms

after watching the proko aproach, tried a new one. is methed of comparing one side to the other really helped.

Going tradicional for the lvl 2 assignment To be real it feels more like level 10 but never the less. i think i made him a litle chubby (the ear sould go more to the right) and the eyes to big (eyes are so hard) more or else it took me 4h, and tomorrow see if I can take a photo with better lighting.

So I used reference from proko.com...

A bit more complex still life I found a reference of online. Think it took me about two full hours to pull off. Decided to add a background to make the drawing pop more. And I'm happy with the result.
