I tried doing some more portraits, I don't know if I'm simplifying them enough though really struggled with the owl and monkey a bit (trying to do lvl 2 where I vary the shapes a bit after doing the original). Maybe I just need a lot more practice with this.

I'm not sure if I did the exercise right. Critiques will be very much welcomed. I especially had trouble with the tortoise heads.

Critiques, please? Even though I'm quite satisfied with the practice, I feel like I'm lacking in lines. I can't point out what exactly and if there's more, I'd be happy to listen and improve.

Tried to get the idea of the animal not the picture I was working from.

The shapes section is super fun so far! :)

another 3 attempts, definitely starting to understand the task more now

My attempt at another 5 animals, I must admit doing the extras is helping a lot to understand the task.

My attempt. I forgot to pay attention to the amount of shapes. :0)

i was doing this for a little long time right now an i think i have improve a lot

my attempts

MONKEY ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

still working on this. having fun though!

I really like the punk monkey with earring. He for sure took a few drinks while listening to Blink-182 for breakfast

Since I love raccoons (as you can see from my previous sketches;-) I decided to stylise this animal as well. Playing with the different shapes was really fun and forces you to step out of the usual thinking...

I have try my graphic tablet this time. My lines are less confident but I’ve try to create cool shapes.

Apropos of nothing, but I love Proko! In 5 weeks I can't believe how much I've improved! Kept the pages from my daughter's 2023 page-a-day calendar of horses. I drew this while watching this livestream (sorry-I couldn't just sit watching 2hrs of monkey head shapes). I won't include the horror of how poorly I was sketching a year ago when I was watching Draftsmen and trying to summon the courage to sign up for Proko, but I'm SO glad I did. Can't wait to compare in another couple of months. Jeff Watts is right- 10 years goes by quickly. You can be 10 years older, or 10 years older AND a better artist!

my loose sketches for this one, had fun! open for critics:)
