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 đđ€·ââïž

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.

Drawing from imagination after watching demo. Evil pigeon.

This dude is awesome! I love his crazy proportions.
To make the pose feel more balanced, notice to placement of the head to the feet.
If the character is standing still, the head is usually balanced somewhere between the feet.
I might push the head back in this drawing. Thatâs all.
I hope this makes sense. Your drawings are so good!

Doesn't look like you gave up. Looks more like you did the exercise. Good job !

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.

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

This guy is fun. I love his little wings and big ears.
If you wanted to take this to the next level. Try playing with dynamic shapes. Kill the symmetry and find the flow through the pose. This will give him more personality and energy.

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. đ€Šââïž I chose a sloth for my animal for the simplicity; didnât 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. Donât know if it quite worked though. Overall, decently happy with it. But more work is needed.
