I did my sketches of gorillas with attempts to give them expressions, like a thinking pose. Feedback would be helpful on areas I need to improve.

New attempt :)

I will repeat the exercise every X times. I have a hard time understanding and simplifying the forms.

I tried this project one more time after watching the demo. Here are the results: First two images are sketches from observation that I did to get the main characteristics of a Hyacinth macaw. The rest of them were my sketches from imagination. It was a really difficult project I have to say.

I’m not confident enough to draw a chameleon from imagination just yet, but I’ll definitely give it another try later.

So I just followed along with the pictures provided. and made two imagination pieces after. I liked the exercise. Was lots of fun! Reflecting on what I can improve on, focusing on having better line quality. I noticed my line quality goes down when I am making something from imagination a bit.

This really help me. Now I can draw my last sketch more confidently.

Had a lot of fun playing with these, I will probably do much more animals in the future. The one from imagination is the bottom right

Here i tried a second project, after demo

Second attempt :3

Not sure how to draw those hand gestures on the left.

I do this one but photo do not seen good enough

Did some more practice off the lesson video and afterwards as well. I tried to implement somebody's suggestion of using dynamic shapes, it was difficult but made for some interesting experiments. I feel like a lot of my drawing from reference is "safe" and feels stiff, so I want to get better at doing more interesting shapes and poses.

Did a few image combinations while watching this to keep up and practice at the same time

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.

Drawing from imagination after watching demo. Evil pigeon.
