I did these before watching the demo, but seeing the demo made me realize how much further I could have taken it. Oh well.

Golden Reckoning

I traced with an HB pencil and then used my 4B for the heavier lines. I thought the important parts of the rhino were their horns and beautiful wrinkly facial features, but then I noticed they were taking a step forward in the picture, so I thought I'd also highlight that movement. For the shadows I tried to look out for the darker parts of the rhino, and where the sun is shining on them.

I only did the one by importance of elements. I didn't do the light and shadow because it felt like too much work to trace over this again but I'll be sure to watch the demo to understand it. I did this assignment digitally as it made more sense otherwise I am doing my projects traditionally.

Bah couldn't get motivated with this exercise

This was fun! Definitely interesting to see how different the outcome is when using each method. I can probably work on more variety in line weight but overall I'm happy with these.

Here are mine! First one is by importance, second one is lighting. Did this one digitally because I do not have a printer lol

Line weight - Shadow

First is Line Weight by Importance. Second is Line Weight by Lighting. Pretty sure I messed up on the front-left leg on the Lighting drawing. The line weight is probably too heavy.

I sadly don’t have a printer nor tracing paper so I had to do a sketch of it prior to attempting the actual project challenge. Here’s what turned out.

This first one is on line weight by importance. I wanted to focus on a thick outline around the body, as well as highlighting some of the internal facial features. Let me know how I did. Not only did my printer make the lines too heavy, it also ran out of ink half way through lol. I'm going to do two more soon, another one focusing on importance (but on the full rino) and the other on the shadows once my printer is in working order.

#2 is showing some of the scrap page behind it -- not intentional.

First line weight by importance. Second is lighting. I think I have trouble getting enough distance between "heavy" and "light" lines. They seem closer in value than i meant them to be.

Finally finished level 2. For observation I tried my best to draw one of my space marines ( just realized I forgot to draw a back for his belt but it's fine ). I've also been working on a personal project of drawing all the Kanto Pokemon with pen, and I've also been working on line weight with that.

First one is importance of hierarchy, second is light and shadow attempt. I think i could have made thicker lines for the hierarchy attempt so the head can stand out a little more, specifically around the mouth area and top of head.

I acknowledge I wasn’t supposed to shade just use pure line weight. Please excuse that rhino in light and the only beige paper drawing I did with a little shading. There is still a hierarchy of line weight in that picture just happens to be with a little shading too. My other attempts at organizing line weight varied and but my papers are in chronological order from when I first started them even tho I may have finished later. I feel I understood the assignment and I’m just posting these and writing as a form of self accountability. I appreciate the interactions I have on here but it’s all through screens and writing these digital letters. I acknowledge that it doesn’t take away from the value of this course and all things digital in this contextual form. I mentally treat this as a school setting! Y’all are my classmates and we are all here trying our best, having fun and sharing our efforts in these assignments. I don’t expect anyone to read this so it’s like getting things off my chest just how I’ve been feeling going through these assignments and the mental challenges that arise and learning to complete each assignment. I personalize my learning and it’s been a road of self discovery what feels naturally good to me. What does my dream picture look like? what do I resonate with? Literally learning to let go and let flow surely then I will know what’s always been there inside. Peace everyone !!

Revisited the exercise after watching the demo. I never really thought about adjusting the value of the line. I don't think I captured that effect too well in my drawings, I mainly lent on line thickness. Will definitely keep the lesson in mind going forward
