Sketching the robot was a little harder as I kept drawing the details.

After watching the demo I noticed that in my first attempt for this project I focused too much on the cleanliness of my lines, I didn't really think about the flow and energy of the references that I was sketching. So in my second attempt, I tried to do the opposite by making more loose and confident sketches. Here is the results:

Hi! Here are my sketches before and after watching the video. This exercise was a bit more challenging for me, but little by little I’m learning. The first three are before watching the demo. Thank you for your feedback; it helps me keep improving ☺️

Second attempt.. still not sure if my drawing is really sketching.

If you want to get more sketchy marks, worry less about accuracy. Think “long, light and loose”. Keep the marks as stretched out as you can. Stretch it till it breaks.
What you have so far looks awesome. Just keep building.

I drew these two while watching Stan’s hand movements. I just wish I had taken this course when it was being released so I could’ve gotten some feedback on my drawings.

That’s what the community is here for! Feel free to ask for any feedback here.
So far, these drawings look great!
You stuck to long and loose CSI lines. Perfect for this assignment.

I've been doing a lot of practice between these videos and it's usually a week between video so I feel like I'm seeing some improvements.

Anybody else watching Severance on AppleTV? I drew these while watching. Big O&D vibes. Anyway, seeing some insane sketches from everyone here, very inspiring to level up.

I had a lot of fun trying sketching and also improved my drawing time considerably, but my mind still struggles between accuracy and expressiveness in drawing. 🙈

I still find it difficult to remain in sketch mode. I redid two of the assignments after this demo (I might do the penguin once I find more time). I'm much more happy with the VR-Girl now. She doesn't look that good but I feel like I remained in Sketch-mode way more and didn't just copy the outline. The hand somehow got worse and I don't really see why that is.

Finally got around to this again after ArtFight. My proportions are a little off but my lines should be well enough I hope

I feel like you made the same "mistake" that I did. These drawings look great but they focus more on the outlines, then on the idea. They look like the CSI-exercise that we had to make.
I'm not sure if this is bad, but mine looked similar to yours (although not as skillfully executed) but they don't look like what he does in the demo. (But I could be mistaken)

Nice start! I like how you simplified the shapes of the owl.
Try more owl studies. Find poses that are less symmetrical too.
