Totally not feeling it today, probably i should go back to structure study or memory tomorrow

Bp 3

Second attempt :)

Try to focus less on subject on more on clear strokes :) and maybe start with penguin? this crazy lad is not easy :)

That's great, as proportions were not the main part of the this practice and you did great on line practice :)

You're a beginner placed in vast ocean of "what we dont know", so any direction to start is great :) I love that actually you've added more character to the penguin that there was in reference. Good job, keep it up :)

For my beginner eye, shit that's perfect :) All is on point, and where you had a problem there is next line to it that does the job and still looks clean and with purpose. Exactly as Stan prescribed and as bonus great 3d form showed.

Confident line is better than on point scribbly one, but I can imagine that accuracy comes with time. At least me, I've never used whole arm to draw/write and when compared with many year of writing using only fingers it's just lack of experience in it :) like many years gap of experience between two.

That's okay, you do what you can with time you have :) maybe in future you'll find more

It's a weird feeling :D like "hey, trust yourself you've got this" and it's not easy for me to trust yourself when I feel like total beginner

Bp 4, too bad we dont have 3d model. Wouldnt save my work but would help a bit with what goes where :) i can imagine that for guys with human anatomy its much easier

Ballpoint 2

Ballpoint 3. Somehow loose is synonim of speed for me, probably personal workaround. Cannot overthink if going over my speed limit.

Ballpoint 2

Going in with ballpoint. I think now understand, when you just go full in youre having so much fun that accidently you learn about the subject along the way :) for sure need to work on loosing my tight pants and go with bigger format so arm can swing away

Those are great :) if you still dont like hands, find on youtube video from @Marco Bucci "Draw Better Hands now" (of course if you didn't yet).

Nice ! And it is very smooth :) I would guess that porous paper gave you some bad time

Solid simplification, on point representation of the object, clear seperation of values. You did great ! :) consider drawing bit bigger(it's pretty small right?), it will later on help you with CSI assignments and you'll have more space to design your shapes :)

Nothing wrong with letting it go in the end to have some fun, as long as you practice the main goal of the assignement :)

For me simplification is on point! Maybe even could simplify more ? You would still capture the character without few smaller shapes :) Nonetheless, great job !

First of all, great job especially on start :) From what I see based on Proko critics, your lighter shadow is lighter than halftone. For me squinting eyes help and usually I do a little small diagram of 5 values by side of the drawing to have clear reference how dark should my dark be and how light the light :) using wide range od pencils helps too. Other than that, try to simplify even more :) If area in the light is the main focus of your drawing, then shadows needs to subdue a little to don't steel the viewers eye. Nonetheless, solid execution of a assignment! It is made to challenge you and help you grow :)
