This is my third try. I'm starting to have fun, listening to podcast about lynx while drawing it, trying composition and drawing from imagination is now telling a little stories. It probably helped to know that I was drawing for somebody as I asked my girlfriend to choose my next animal ☺️ Could you help me improve the gesture ? Now that I'm taking some distance with it, it fells like the lynx could have been flying much more horizontaly

The green one is my favorite! Lots of personality in these drawings. Heres a gesture example I drew for another student the other day. I think it could apply here too.

The frog with the binoculars is awesome. Great gesture in that one and it has a fun narrative. Keep up the sketching, you're doing great!

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).

Wow. This looks awesome. You took this assignment to a whole new level. You designed a really cool character. I think your cat character could be brought even further if you wanted to open up the pose. Give them some action.

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 !

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)

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.
