I wanted to add some fancy apparel without being too strict with placement. I think a mouse's head is already cute enough and a hat would overdo it. Clearly, the solution is to but it on its butt instead.

Here are my little observation blips!!

Day 4 - Tried out the boots from the CSI WITHOUT simplifying. I'll post the simplified version separately onto the CSI assignment page

Day 3: just a lil DS2 figurine

Day 2: I added a chonky shark to the regimen

Day 1: I've been working on dynamic poses, and adding details (2B) overtop quick figure drawings (blue) to learn to keep dynamic poses from getting stiff when adding anatomy and clothes. I'll try to transition to real life objects some of future posts to keep more in-theme with the assignment

A bit disappointed that I posted my drawings in the comments instead of the assignment tab but it was great to see everyone else's work and learn from the critique.

Hopefully I’m not too late to submit for critique! This is my Level 2 submission. Aside from the darkest value, I feel I’m struggling with pushing values overall. This was a whole lot of fun though

Of course I procrastinated until the last day but I wanted a chance to be included in the critique video. Fingers crossed! Portrait attempt after watching the demo, which was awesome, thank you Stan! I feel like I already learned so much but there’s so much more to learn. I struggled with laying down clean values among other things.

Here is my 5th or 6th attempt at the simplified portrait. Lost count lol. This was a very difficult task. It’s amazing how easy it is to mess up proportions and the general feel of a portrait using straight lines, sharp edges, and 5 values.
