I definitely need to work on proportions and anatomy because I had a difficult time making this hand and it seemed so easy looking at it but when I started getting into it, I saw my problem areas.

looking forward to getting into an anatomy course at some point; even tho this exercise wasn't about that, I think it would have help inform the overall shape and proportions. But here is my attempt!

The demo really helped for this. I also found that having a really loose explore was beneficial. First couple of goes helped me to understand the shapes and proportions better that when I tried a 3rd go I was much happier with the results.

Felt a huge improvement after watching the demo! I feel like I better understand how to get myself into the headspace of sketching, which I didn't do very well my first attempt. Blocking out and thinking on the paper led to a huge difference in confidence, especially with the hand!

I had taken a break after watching the demo and so forgot to be more intentional about the whole sketching process going into it. Did these from left to right though, still think there was improvement! (will be practicing sketching more freely going forward)

Hi Everyone! Very general question, has anyone taken what they’ve learned in this course and then applied it to tattooing?

Spotted this in one of the other sessions and figured I'd try to recreate it with a few minot tweaks (curves on back /torso for muscles, enlarged brow. Really fun to draw. Tried really really hard to keep loose and sketchy which I think is my best yet. Didn't visit any detailing until the end. Still lined it in at the end which possibly wasn't needed

Doing it in red did help. I’ll be practicing more, still lose confidence at the small details

I redrew the Level-1 assignment quickly with looser lines.

VR Girl after demo; I tried to apply "visualizing what you don't see" to drawing Piplup.

I think those lines as messy as they could possibly get at this point. I really tried to be relaxed and explore the shapes. :)

Working on some observastional drawing of different animals

Penguin after demo.

One thing I've been struggling with the most is seeing how to thumb connects together with the rest of the palm, even after watching the demo and seeing it I don't understand how to determine what the connect is.

Before vs after watching the demo

Here’s a go I had using a red pencil and it does feel better to use it for sketches and whatnot
