Here's my camel, done before watching the demo - bit too 'sketchy' I think and I'm still not simplifying enough, but it was a fun exercise. I've been drawing for a long time but I've never really learned the fundamentals, I got by on building up good observational skills and I can 'copy' things pretty well, but my technical knowledge is lacking. I took a break from drawing last year and when trying to properly get back into it recently, I realised I'd lost a lot of confidence, especially in drawing from imagination, because I just don't have the mindset/skills of thinking in 3D. So I'm taking myself back to basics and hoping to improve a lot from this course. So far I'm enjoying it a lot! :)

My camel sketch—an exploration of drawing freely with lines. Still learning to let the lines flow, and enjoying the process 😊

My attempts. Feedback is appreciated

My attempt before the demo and hopefully I can make it better after, but starting to feel good about making lines with confidence again.

It's been a while since I have drawn anything and although I was never really good, it's good to see that I'm somewhat still comfortable with making confident lines. Not good ones, but confident. I don't know if muscle memory is a thing or if I think I'm better than I am, but do these lines look clean?

Actually really proud of both attempts (befores and afters). I felt super out of my league, because perspective and depth, depth in particular, I really really struggle with, (I have aphantasia, and it plays a big role in my struggles.) But I drew the first only looking at the photo, the second I only looked at the photo, but I had watched Stans demo last night and applied what I learned. I have surprised myself - I know they’re not perfect, but it’s better than I thought I could do.

Stylized skull

Second try at Level 2, following along with the demo!

The first 2 are pre-demo. The next 2 I did after simply glancing at the final demo product. It was a little embarrassing how much less time it took to produce the simplified versions, considering how much I fussed over the proportions of the first 2. I learned a lot from all of these. My line confidence with CSI still needs work, especially for shorter, smaller lines. More practice!

Skull is a tad narrow and tall just looking at it myself! I’d let Me know what you think

pre demo drawings. couldn't figure out the legs with the camel. struggled with the proportions a lot with the skull...so i kinda lost focus on the lines..:/ can't wait to see stans solutions!

My attemt while the proko demo. I rushed a bit on the skull cause I was dragging that assignment for couple of days. Just needed to finish it . Need to move on with the lessons. I am also working on the two week drawing challenge. But I missed few days because of school work. But if I keep thinking about the missing days I can’t move forward. So for now let’s focus on future lessons.

My attempt on the camel I need to sketch lighter but I did fine

After demo

Hellooo :) This is my first attempt before the Demo. This was also last year so I plan on redoing and seeing any progress. If anyone sees something that I should do differently in my next attempt please don’t be afraid to let me know the ways I can improve. Thank you!

Hello! Here’s my attempts at the skull and camel! I think the camel came out well. I spent more time drawing the skull a few times, I tried not to get bogged down determining proportions/focus on line quality, I would often catch myself making small strokes instead of confident lines.

This video is not working as well.
