It's getting better. I found that choosing simple animals really help the process ! Humans, horses... super hard... weasel and octopus are great ! I'm super happy with the weasel running, suspended in the air cause I feel like I added something, my look, an interpretation instead of only trying to be a heartless camera. The imagination drawings of the weasel are a bit quickly done, I couldn't stay in the place of "doing-my-own-thing" for long. Octopus I stayed longer. I want to learn to stay longer in this place until I'm able to breath normaly and have fun. Some kind of anxiety still takes too much space, I'm sure I'm not the only one 😊🤷‍♂️

thank you

Something like this, I guess…

Enjoyed following along with this one. Not only have my lines become better, but I've gotten a lot faster at getting ideas on the page. Looking forward to the next lesson.

A little goofy bat with a donut

Drawing from imagination after watching demo. Evil pigeon.

Should have picked an animal… I give up.

2025/6/14. Good evening everybody. Here's my original character (sketch + refined digital version). During the final digital drawing I changed a lot. The sketch was just to put down on the paper some general ideas. Thanks for any comment or critique. Good night.

The chameleon in the lower left corner is my own drawing... I think the tail is curled in the wrong direction, hahahaha.

Decided to do a bear, did some sketches from ref then tried my hand at a cartoonish characted

I chose pigs to draw from my imagination. That's fun.

So my choice for the animal was penguin. I drew some detailed drawing at first to get main understanding of which shapes are important and which are not. Then i simplified until i got used to the main shapes, and drew some sketches from imagination (the last 2 photos). looking forward to hear what I did wrong, right, and how I can improve

Learning to Sketch from Imagination

Going with the red eyed tree frogs. After I noticed several others chose them too😆

I finished all the white paper in my sketchbook!!!!!!!

I started by drawing one sketch from observation then visualizing it from another perspective or in a different dynamic pose. Realized while watched Stan's observation critiques that these lines are not loose enough, but still enjoyed the process and think it turned out ok.

Sketch from imagination. Boy, this has always been very difficult for me. In fact, learning to draw from imagination was why I decided to take this course. I did better than I thought, but it still looks like a third grader did it. 🤦‍♂️ I chose a sloth for my animal for the simplicity; didn’t want to get discouraged by doing something too beyond my range. I think I could have spent more time on the study sketches. First two are the studies and the third is the imagine sketch. Really tried to push it with the reclining pose. Don’t know if it quite worked though. Overall, decently happy with it. But more work is needed.
