Some of my practice , done in procreate

Help for anyone appreciate d. Still having trouble with deciding if a contour should go up like as smile ish or down more frown ish

My God it’s hard.

cross contour animals for practice, the bats head challenged me, they turned out pretty adorable

Class Notes

It’s so hard to imagine the surface change. Also to know where the lines should be.

Here are my attempts post demo and post critique. I went back to the snail reference from the lines chapter and did the cross contour :D

I The critique helped me, and I thought I should start pushing my shapes a little bit more and explore more

Some more sea creatures. I tend to stiffen up when I draw darker lines which cause my edges to lose their gesture. I still need to practice imagining the 3D shape before I apply my cross contours, but overall I am happy with the result.

Why are there no subtitles?

Welll I’m back from my drawing block I’m kind of disappointed in my self I hate when I stop drawing for a long period of time. Anyway back to the grind pray I dont let my anxiety get the best of me again

My second attempt at this project. Focusing a bit more on the underlying forms has helped me put down better looking lines in my opinion, and they look more 3D. Will definitely keep practicing this as I always struggle quite a bit with forms and volume.

Thanks for critique. I will now focus more on my line quality.I draw in my arm chair leaning back a bit. With a table easel on my home made armchair table. I have an illness and this setup make it possible for me to craft. But due to the armchair it limmits my shoulder movement abit and make it harder to draw with the shoulder. Do you have any advice on that? I hoped no one would notice 😅 probably just keep on doing it even if it feels a bit uncomfortable.

Thanks for the critique Stan, that solved some issues for me :) As far as pronouncing my name, you did a good job only that the "jo" in Aljoscha is pronounced like in "yolk" not like in "Josh" or something :D

Thanks for the critique. Yours and Patrick’s suggestions helped solve my confusion. Glad that you liked the biker turtle :)

Thank you for sharing, they are so beautiful

My submission for the ginger root people has very wobbly lines, but I recently had shoulder replacement surgery on my dominant right arm, so I'm having a difficult time drawing with my arm.

great video, really cleared lot of doubts I had, looking forward to be critiqued in the upcoming videos! :D
