Let’s give the Level 1 “Dynamic Shapes” project a try. In this demo, I show my process for finding the gesture of a subject and then designing dynamic and interesting shapes that support that gesture.

Coming back from the dead (what a pity it isn't the 31st yet), I'm posting my after-demo shape design seals, always happy to get any criticism. :)

It was hard to understand how to make a good shape design, tried to did like the image but i think a missed the point.

Tried again after this video. Based on the demos here, I focused less on the apex points and angles, and more on where to break the symmetries.

Pre-Proko Seals. I felt like there was something wrong with all of them, but I can't figure out why. Anyway, any criticism is welcome

Did another 10 after watching the demo. I think I've loosened up a bit as the more dynamic poses look okay. But the weird poses (especially those round ones) do still pose quite a challenge!

Here are some of my drawings; this has been a nice refresher from the previous assignment. I think I am slowly getting the hang of the gesture and flow. Please let me know if there is anything that I can improve upon.

Hey! so I tried and I think I'm slowly starting to understand gesture and flow. The first and second picture are from before the demo, the third is along with the demo, and finally the last one is of one I did trying to following Stan's advice. Please let me know how I can improve. How do I make my lines flow? How do I make the gesture look interesting and not boring. Feedback is appreciated. Have a nice day!

I have to consider more perspective-wise for the second one. I did try to design interesting shapes for the first one, though.

This is really challenging as it's so much more conceptual than what we've done so far. But, I really like the challenge. The demo was really helpful as it showed me that the goal isn't reproducing what you are seeing but making an interesting shape. For example, I liked the idea of turning the seal's head below to the right to go with the flow of the rest of the shape, even though that wasn't happening in the reference.

Hey guys! These are my little monsters. Now that I look at them maybe I should exaggerate more with the shapes and not stick with the reality so much...

I took the photos from Instagram and I don't know if they are copyrighted. Anyway, it was a very good exercise, but I found it quite difficult to see some of the shapes by just looking at photos.

Found my own references for this attempt. Gave credit where I could two images did not have the artist listed.
Just trying to capture the dynamic shapes the artists used. Not copying the references, but slightly exaggerating the shapes.
