Tried doing the hand again after watching the demo. I feel like I did a little better the second time I tried this, even if my proportions still seem a little off. The red one is the revised version. Was fun to redo it.

Did before demo versions and after. For the after, I tried to focus more on lines and staying loose with the sketch.

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.

Alright. I am watching the demo. Will need to do it again and to loosen up and simplify. So difficult to have this mindset ! :-)

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

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.

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.

Wow. Very high level drawings for this assignment. The way you ghost in your lines and only use dark marks where it is necessary is perfect.

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.

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

I think your lines are very clean and accurate to the source. Its really nice work!

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.
