I’ve taken the buffalo and tried to rearrange the shapes to get some different variants.

Join me for a LIVE drawing basics demo! I'll be simplifying and stylizing animal portraits with simple shapes.

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.

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...
Agustin Gomez
Very good and you don't go beyond 11 shapes, some drawings have less, that's amazing

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!

Cíntia Bloom
I like what you did to the horns. 👏👏👏

Please critique. I enjoyed thinking about big shapes first and enveloping it and getting to details later. Pr

Loving the bull! These look wonderful! Food for thought, perhaps think of shapes like kneaded erasers or a similar, pliable substance. Make em bouncy and then weld them together where they intersect! You can measure it all but thinking of it as "chewy" specifically helped me. If you play around on Blender (because free) you can throw primitive shapes together and see how they will overlap. That's the idea. Primitives are what you are building from, so on the one hand you can make everything extremely geometric but when it comes to shape language, I think the joy of simplification is in the "texture" of what you are welding. Of course the preliminary is not actually a substance but feeling it as such as you operate assists secondarily in transforming from realistic depiction to cartooning or a hybrid thereof in the mental imaging. If you have seen Hercules (Disney's animated feature) I am sort of referencing Zeus when he creates Pegasus from the clouds. Clouds are amorphous and while you should definitely practice your cubes and spheres specifically to be able to weld anything in a measured sense, sometimes going outside and drawing clouds as they move slowly into varying forms helps to get the "wisp" into the hands. Drawing softly lets you layer shapes upwardly. The more control you have, the lighter a mark you can make and just wistfully indicate without overtaking the drawing via mark density of stroke. I hope this helps!

I don't know when those 2 hours passed. I had a great time drawing together.
Rachel Dawn Owens
Wow! Pirate-looking monkey on the bottom middle is my favorite. It’s already a really clean drawing. I think you could have just colored that one. Don’t overthink it. Just keep having fun. These are awesome!
@caroline4097
while watching, learn, copy, and apply the rules. super fun exercise!
