Use the three reference images of clean line drawings and sketch them using simple loose lines. Don't try to match the cleanliness of these drawings. Instead, sketch them out with energetic, tapered strokes. Don't hesitate. Just practice moving your arm with confidence. If you draw some lines and then you realize that, Oh, shoot, I need to curve that more. Go ahead and just draw the new curve right over it. As you get more confident that you've found the shape, you can darken those lines and the lighter lines start to disappear. Focus on the big idea and the shapes the lines represent, rather than on each individual line.
For you, Level 2 monster trucks, I want you to start with this Level 1 project as a warmup, and then head over to the Learning to Sketch from Imagination project page for your instructions.
If you'd like to have a chance to be included in the upcoming critique videos, you must submit your drawings below by March 9th 2023.
Good luck and please have some fun!
This was pretty hard. I tried to make my lines clean, but I think I ended up focusing so much on each line that when I zoomed out halfway through the drawing process I realised my proportions were all off. The hand look me two tries, I gave up on the first one pretty quick
This one is quite hard for me, especially the hand. Apologize about the shadow in the penguin drawing. I sketched both before taking the photo. My struggle is that somehow, even though I told myself it's a sketch, my subconscious still tried to make it more precise. And I'm still struggling to make more confident lines. I will try the VR girl soon.
I really struggled with this assignment. Placing the girl with the booth on the page to capture everything was tough. Hopefully, my lines will become more confident as I progress through the course.
Tried my best with confident lines. I wasn't sure what the android was doing so I gave them a lightsaber. Also, that penguin is money, and people should recognize.
spider man 1st attempt felt like the fingers took my a while to get proportions right but i tried making confident lines on each attempt
did the penguin that turned out a little chubby but felt more confident in my lines and didnt stress over messing up! Feedback is appreciated! (Pre-walkthrough)
I don't know why but that penguin had sort of a... disgusted expression. I felt kinda nervous drawing it while it looked at me like that. xD
is this just about drawing loosely ? do i try to measure the proportions first or do i jump right in ? do i do the enveloping method to try to get the proportions right? it gets so messy if i cant erase and i have to figure out the proportions through searching lines
Despite the efforts, its not a real hand.. I do not understand what i am doing wrong to mess up the proportions...
Including the searchlines certainly makes the images come to life more. This was fun! Keeping it simplified instead of copying remains a challenge though. Feedback would be highly appreciated!
Penguin hit shoulder day a little hard, I messed up and made the neck a little short to fit everything on one page. Should have modeled it beforehand with an oval for the body, triangles for the arms, circle for the head, little trapezoid for the feet, and a cone for the nose. Similar with the hands. Would love a critique.
I really liked this assignment, I think something I've been missing is making confident lines in my drawings and these all definitely had pretty fun contours to draw. Might have been a bit too clean though, I do still need more practice with tapering strokes and flowing lines as I feel myself sometimes go back into old habits. Any advice is appreciated!
It's so difficult to get the "sketch" mindset. I don't think I did the exercice well but I'm happy with the result anyway. It was really difficult for a total beginner like me.

It will get easier as you do it more! You did a great job with the VR girl, that's a tough one. Keep it up!
Getting better, but lots to improve. Nice lines are so nice. I have a couple lines that really worked out. Can't wait til it's old hat for all my lines. Peace!
Whopps, I forgot a line in the bottom half of the top right quadrant: the wing on the close side. I fixed it on the paper.
Surprised myself on getting the proportions close on this. The envelope method is really helping me. I feel like I could be looser with things though
