Loose sharks

Loooose lines 🙂

Decided NOT to be lazy after all and did a new project after watching the critique. I like my quick, gestural photo studies but with the final duck character I had some usual issues like making the head too big and I could've pulled in the chest a little bit. I usually do these edits in Photoshop if I want to create a final illustration but it would be nice to learn to not do these mistakes to begin with....

Please critique my drawing of a rat getting caught for stealing cheese.

I know I'm really late, but I used this to create a "non-virtuous" character in one of my paintings, and it took me a while to get through it.

Gimme a critique on Dem Coons

I made a new try after Ive seen the critiques. This time with rhinos. I made studies and drew rhinos after reference first this time. And after that made explorations til I found my character. In the reference pictures the grown up looks tierd and grumpy. And i wanted to do grown up standing in the rain. But in the references the children seem so happy so i wanted to a child character as well. After i got my two characters i started to explore and test different poses till i found something I liked.

Gave it a try again but Im nit sure I ended up super frustrated and unable to find any direction

Sketch to final, with ref really love the assignment thanks @Stan Prokopenko . Sadly missed crituqe deadline but oh well

This is my sister work for the assignment! Looking good she’s got some work to do tho

Attempt #3 : went back to attempt # 2 and tried to stay looser but retain good line quality. Taking a break and coming back to it, also seems to help. Hopefully heading in the right direction.

Another very helpful video, and receiving such positive feedback really made my day- thanks Stan!

Wow, you guys are really good! This was impressive!

I feel like I rushed my stuff a tad too much when looking at what everyone did. At the same time I've no idea on how to make something loose and experimental and as detailed as some of these. I'll just do some more. On a side note, it's funny how we've had a few of these critiques and I can instantly recognize Clowndev's work.

I was the guinea pig (#16). I've been slowly pacing myself out of my comfort zone. I'm happy to hear my shapes/lines were good, will try being more exploratory with subject itself next! When I thought character I thought props, accessories, etc., but would like to be able to express a character without those things like I saw others doing. I'll play more with it on my own.

It’s so hard to sketch with the pressure sensitivity of Apple Pencil and sketch loosely with my arm. I mean, I had so much fun doing this! Thank you so much Stan. I’m starting to love drawing. The process.

Thanks a ton for looking over my mole, I will work on improving the line quality and contour in the future. I feel like the lines is my biggest issue right now.

Thank you Stan! Am learning from every critique in this video. Love it that you don't try to teach your son, but let him have fun in drawing. Great dad!

Thank you so much for the critique, Stan! 🦀 You noted that I worry too much about being precise, and that is so true. On my day job I've recieved similar feedback from my supervisors, more than once over the years, saying that they see a little perfectionist in me and reminding me that I don't have to do everything to perfection. It's funny because I never noticed this trait in myself before someone pointed it out. Recognizing it has made many things much less stressfull for me. Now when I'm drawing warm up mushrooms, it feels so relaxed and nice and smooth, but moving on to an exercise I lose some of that and feel... stiff(er). It's funny again, because I didn't make this connection before I watched this critique video. This is going to be incredibly helpful for me with future drawing, thank you!! Also big thank you to all of the community here, I've loved looking at your work and getting inspiration, ideas and encouragement from you 💕.

re-did the assignment based on the feedback, tried going looser with the lines and focused on exaggerating the shapes. (I'm critique #1 btw) interestingly a lot of the searching lines don't show up that much in these photos because I did them pretty lightly.
