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 :-)

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)

He did not even critique the capybara
Dru Drax

he definitely did though. he critiqued the part of the assignment the student got wrong, which was the quality of their lines.

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.

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.

These are excellent! I love the gesture in the 3 lower drawings. Great work suggesting the fur, I wonder if the one on the right could be more successful if you added the pinch. We certainly have a beautiful stretch on the opposite side. How can you add a pinch while thinking about the underlying anatomy to bring that one more to life?
Great work!

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.

Here is my attempt for learning how to draw from imagination project. I chose an otter for this project and I need feedback on my attempt. I feel like Im still in the perfection mindset even in sketching. I am trying my best to be loose when I am attempting to draw the otter from memory which is the image on the far right. Stan mentioned a lot in the critique video of being loose and exploring and I hope I show that in the image far right. I will upload my final attempt on the otter soon! :)

Hey! Here is my 2nd attempted at this assignment (technicality 2nd and 3rd) I am have a hard time grasping the "messy" line part of this project. I draw through, look for rhythms and shapes, etc. but i have a strong habit of drawing "clean lines" if I see a mistake (line not where they are supposed to go or got a shape wrong, a proportion error i noticed) I will go in and correct it. Maybe I am misunderstanding and my sketches are what the assignment is looking for or maybe I am not getting something.
the first two rabbit pages are studying refs, the 3rd it exploring and the last rabbit is my final. the two jackal pages are self explanatory. In this assignment I tried my hardest to be messy/exploratory and not concerned with rightness so I included a "sketch" i did while having fun with level 1 to show what my usual sketches look like

Hello! I understand the urge to be "careful" with your lines, but for this exercise the point is to be exploratory and sketch a lot. Your drawings demonstrate that you did just that! You found some really cool shapes, especially with the rabbits. Great job!
The point of keeping loose and messy is to help you find the gesture and movement of the pose, so I think you could benefit from working more on the military jackal. He is very stiff -- which, makes sense for his character, but maybe you could find a really cool curve that conveys the same stiffness in a more complex, dynamic pose? Just a suggestion, I think you did an awesome job with these.
For this exercise, I think it's okay to play with proportions -- push them until they break, and if they do, you can try another sketch, another idea :) Have fun!
