A little pep talk for those of you who recently started your journey. When you were a baby, you learned how to talk by listening and repeating words, and you can learn how to draw the same way. Drawing is a way to communicate with pictures instead of words. I talk about training your mind and your hand with the right exercises and projects and how you can learn faster with the right mindset.

Looks like I'm behind the curve with my start date, by quite some time! For the sake of participating anyway, here's my starting point - not sure what it's meant to be, put pencil to paper before I thought anything through. Coffee, finger guns, cat-robot with elephant legs.

I was a little nervous taking this study on, but I like how it came out! I need work on perspective for the back half of the avocado, but I’m happy with how this came out. Feedback welcomed.

I like to draw cartoony characters. But I want to learn the fundamentals the right way, that's why I'm joining this course. I also want to have more fun with the proces and not focus too hard on the end result... I already like the way Stan teaches. :-) Looking forward to the first drawing lessons. Here is a sketch I made yesterday evening. :-P

I tend to think: if you are late, post under the last video since it is where you can get most critics and feedback

My pear and materials. I have pages of lines and doodles which I am finding to be very relaxing.

Nice work! don’t be afraid to put down those shadows, a good exercise that may help is having a darkest, middle, and lightest tone then breaking up the shadows you see on the pear into three sections with those tones.
