hmmm, I should have done better than last time.

Here’s my project. I finished it before watching either this video or the demo, as I wanted to go fresh. It was hard to come up with at first, since I’m more used to drawing humans (and cute girls :) ). I’ve always liked cats, so when the assignment said to create a character based on an animal, I immediately thought of one. Now, the problem was that cats are very popular, so I had to try not to be influenced by other cat designs out there. I tried several images, but what really helped in the end was studying a cat’s skeleton (since I’m learning to draw people, I’m more familiar with using the human skeleton for construction lines). I also wanted it to be a robot, because of a story I’m working on. In the end, I ended up being influenced by my love for anime and video games, and I created a robotic anime-style kitty inspired by Saint Seiya and Mega Man. I think it still needs a loooot of work before I can use her in my story, but it’s a start. I'm sharing both the process I followed before coming with a final product and some of the images I used as reference (most I found them on Pinterest. The skeleton ones are from Google and Wikipedia).

Hello I gave it an another shot after watching this video. I have been trying to work on lantern fish. Here is my attempt. feedback are more than welcome. Have a nice day !

I tried to combine a gulper eel and a tiger any critique and feedback welcome.

Took a few day break so re-did the animal training. Had fun even tho it was quite complicated for the spider aha

No red pencil so tried to use a sepia pencil which kept breaking. Sigh. Anyway tried to be a lot looser, maybe a bit too much ? Kinda starts to feel messy maybe. I think the thick fur kinda throws me off a little, should have picked a lizard or insect !

After seeing the demo, I made another attempt. I just can't get enough of raccoons :-)

did these after watching demo

This is after watching the critique. I feel like I definitely gave myself more freedom to just explore and see where things went which was lovely. Would really appreciate any critiques! (Repost because the last one had a typo that didn’t make any sense)

hi! I notice the english subtitles on this video are totally out of sync with the video itself. is there anyway this could be fixed?

Here are my references, study sketches, and my final sketch from imagination.

if their are try liking them and they will all update

LOL to me all my comments are duped!!! Do u see that?

He did not even critique the capybara

Here are my sketches From observation and then From imagination. I Tryed different kind of expression for my Toaster Bulldog, more cartoony and other more angry like monsters From comics book… i tried to get the eyes and teeth a but in a style like the Savage Wolverine From Joe Madureira but… on a Toaster Frenchie 🤷🏻‍♂️ I donˋt know why I kept the one standing up on his feet I totally messed this one… i guess for the record. Have a nice day.

Sometimes time seems to fly by.

Gave this another shot after watching the crit, I managed to make one drawing I felt had some potential to develop further. This is a REALLY good exercise I should def repeat ALOT

After watching the critiques I figured I’d better try again and not be so precious with drawing. It’s very hard not to. I wanted the weasel on the right to emphasize how long and tube-y they are with those funny round haunches, top middle to show some personality, but I think the bottom left is my favorite.

In my first attempt I skipped the studies, so I tried again after watching the demo and critiques. I have studies on one page, and exploration on the other, but I haven't picked one for step three; hopefully I'll add a final drawing too. I'm a bit lost with how their feet work, if anyone could help with that I'd appriceate it.

The first photo is sketch from observation, the second one the first is from observation and the kung fu one is from imagination as well as the two last chicken drawings.
