I learned a lot about roosters today 😂 Those dangly red bits are called wattles, and they help the rooster with temperature regulation. Large, brightly colored wattles signify good health and social status. I don't have much advice, rather reinforcement because I felt that you were a bit hard on yourself in your self- critique. I think you handled the wattles well. A common mistake made in this assignment is not using fully contained shapes to define them, but you did. You observed the wattles as being two oval-ish shapes, one overlapping the other, coming down from the attachment point at the beak, and resting on the neck/chest of the rooster -- which is exactly how I would draw them too! Another thing that you did well was your experimentation in level 2. You played with proportions and shape language -- each one has a different personality. I get the impression that you have ideas in your head you couldn't quite express to the extent that you want to yet, and I want to encourage you to keep trying because you're on the right track! Developing and refining your own style of shapes can only be done through practice, and that includes a lot of attempts that you might not like all that much. But like I said, you have the right idea. I really like how you gave #3 a tiny head and giant neck, that's an interesting idea. Keep up the good work!

What a great range of styles!

So much style and voice in these! Wow! I love the expressive style you put into these drawings. Something that might take your drawings to the next level- Be more mindful for the lineweights. If you use the thicker lines in places that overlap, you can add more depth to your drawings this way.

Great explorations!

Great breakdowns! These are a really strong building block foundation of the subjects.

Some more level 1 ones.

Really nice shapes!! Great balance of straights and curves, and I love the rabbit!

Love how you pushed each breakdown into different stylizations of shapes and proportions. Excellent work, Marco!

These are fantastic.

Nice, I agree, and I especially like the explorations you did with the shapes and proportions of the cow. There's some real interesting stuff going on there. Keep it up 👍

I think you need to draw through the shapes a bit more, some of them look too much like mosaic as opposed to cut outs. Though like your hippo and the turtle is cute!

Nice! I noticed some of your first few drawings have a kind of stained-glass window effect, i.e. the shapes don't overlap. It's a really cool effect, but don't be afraid of overlapping, and to go even further, thinking about how shapes might 'insert' into each other. Even though you're drawing a 2D image, you're thinking about it three-dimensionally. The demo and critique videos should help expand on that idea. Good luck and happy drawing :)
