I was oversimplifying until I watched the demo video. After which, I revisited the buffalo and the rooster. sorry about the puns, couldn’t help myself.

The orange one represents the first study

I found this exercise quite difficult. Even though I have some experience with drawing, it was hard for me to simplify things into shapes.

I can see after watching this that I was approaching this wrong. I'm still not sure if I'm getting it right, I think I need to practice this more before moving on. I think it's starting to click though?

Did a lot of these drawings. Great practice for pushing shapes in ways that will help with animation later

I found this project challenging. But I think there was good progress between my attempts before watching the demo (in blue) and after watching the demo (in red). I think my first attempts generally were too rigid. My shapes were too literal: more triangles than triangular, for example. It helped varying proportions of the individual shapes and thinking about the personality of the character.

Really liked the hippo I did, struggled with the buffalo the most, had fun drawing

This exercise was really fun! I will do more of like this.

Did some more after watching the demos :)

Some funny excercises

Even though I am clearly at level one, I wanted to try drawing each animal using the different shapes (I did not do the exaggerated or character designs. Felt like I got it with the rooster but struggled hard with the hippo. Without the reference photo, I don't think I'd guess it was a hippo.

a dolphin

these are my studies of Stans interpretations. I'm planning to attempt my own tomorrow with these as inspiration and guide

Here I have some examples I did after watching the first 10-11 minutes. I was busy, and even I felt lazy, but I could practice and apply what Stan teached in this class. It wasn't hard at all :)

THB, I had a lot of fun doing these simple shape drawings, and hopefully I get to do more (ᵔᴥᵔ)

Really had a lot of fun doing this!!!.. Making moree
