This demo is helping so much, thanks Stan! Have only got through the penguin so far, but have re-tried it and I’m so much happier with it! Will come back and do the other two, but for now, I wanted to celebrate a little win. Here is my first attempt, before the demo, compared to my second attempt. Head proportion is still way off, but I know you said it’s more about the lines now anyway. Any other feedback is super welcome. I think I’m learning how to sketch!

So what if my proportions are way off? I’m trying to play with an idea here!:P

Two down-one to go. I enjoyed this tapered line. More practice needed but loving the line is a great start for me.

Here are my three attempts. I have a problem with quite a few things, such as knowing where to start, confidence in my lines, and proportion. Stan’s demonstration was very helpful. I will now try these drawings again and try for improvement in each of these areas.

Wow - video was super clarifying. Realize I was totally focussed on each line and not the bigger shapes /ideas/rhythms etc Here’s my post video efforts (red) and perfectionist, unfinished, pre video attempts example (graphite). Gonna need to shop for a new red pencil…

Hand and second penguin drawing are done after watching the video. The most difficult one was the hand. I have a really hard time drawing objects to fit the page, it's always too large.

Love the feeling you captured of VR-Girl drawing back to handle whatever is coming!

Gonna remember this for when I start to study hands, the thing is so expressive, it's a great way to study hands!

What did you use for this sketch? Is it oil chalk? I like the broad stroakes.

Attempt after watching the demo. The idea of getting into a specific mindset while sketching was really useful. It might not be the easiest thing to achieve at first but it's definitely something worth practicing. Thanks!
