My attempt from the observation project. I can definetly see that my penguin got a little chunky compared to the ref and the vr girl is a bit out of proportion. The hand was the hardest part but the more I look at the more I feel like it came out ok in the end.

Proportions were difficult to get, as the drawing of small lines with tapered strokes, but I found it quite rewarding.

I was a bit worried and intimidated by the hand, but I ended up having the most fun drawing it!

Los hice después de ver el video fueron bocetos muy rápido

decided to re try and think i better captured the idea of the exercise

i had zero hopes with this one, but i feel it dident go as bad as i thought it would, but not sure what to think about the final result.

Im getting better with the sketchiness :). Feedback welcome :) thank you for the support, community!

Learning to Sketch from Observation

I am a true level one with a desire to feel like an artist someday. I am posting my 1st attempt on my own and then second attempt with demo.

I tried all 3 of the examples again after watching the demo, it helped me a lot to understand the process and better understand the subject. I've also tried to improve my line and sketch quality using some of the other lessons. I've done 3 more of my own sketches, including a picture of my gecko. I feel I've already improved a lot with my lines and mindset, and welcome any criticism to continue improving.

2nd attempt post demo. I tried not to obsess about details. I found IT quite difficult to stay intentional with my lines.

All done before the demo. After watching the demo, I may try again and try to get more of the “flow” lines down before first.

I wanted to post again here in the demo because I noticed how once I saw how Proko showed the flow of the arm and hand everything sort of guides you with placements.

My attempt before the demo, I will try again with more searching lines, any feedback is welcome

After taking notes from the demo I went back and tried to be a lot looser and more gestural in my sketches. these took significantly less time. Sketching in red seemed to help me stay in sketch mode.

I purposely left out details for ironman, wanted the rhythm reference.

I drew this while watching the demo using more gestural lines and looking at the structure and it went so much more quickly and I think I have a much better understanding now than what I did before. (more fun too)

I've done these as extra assignments after seeing Proko's demo. It was so fun to draw from art that I like. I've let myself loose and did not put pressure on the result. I feel like I definitely need these types of drawing sessions to enjoy the process
