Good stuff, you have nice accuracy and boiled down the line work to the level of simplicity needed. It would help to work larger though, even using a full page for each drawing if possible. That will allow you to get a full range of motion with your hand to form good line habits, and not be as limited in your choices by being confined to a small area. You don't also have to add extra details like shading, as the line work itself is key. You're on the right track, keep up the good work! :)

They're great drawings! Though you could go a bit simpler, especially with the skull. Smaller details like the crevices, the teeth, or the small ridges on the nose could all be smoothed out in favor of the larger overall curves. Even something like the spine could be simplified into two curves swooping down, with perhaps some horizontal curves across, rather than getting into all the individual bones. Practicing simplicity can help you gain more accuracy and find the essential elements of a picture more easily, which is an important step in the art process. Hope this helps! :)

I notice a bit of a tendency to feather lines, meaning going back and forth in short strokes. Try aiming to complete the entire CSI line in one stroke -- even if it's in the incorrect place, having the confidence in your linework and developing the habit for a loose, sweeping hand is more important. Plus, you can always redo the line on top until you find the correct one :)

Great simplicity and line confidence! It even has an elegance to it.

Awesome!

Look for angles that go towards one another ever so slightly, as this is key to establishing the box into correct perspective. It helps to give labels to each direction of the box, such as X, Y, and Z, to keep track of which lines need to be converging into the same direction, as I know all the different lines can become confusing when you are first starting out. You got this!

Awesome work! It's great seeing you push yourself and finding fun in the assignment, the dedication really shows through. On a more technical note, ensuring that the objects have thickness to them can really elevate a drawing to become more believable and grounded. Objects like the shelves, stair steps, backing of the chair, and window pane bars may be thinner, but still have a thickness that is worth noting. In the 3rd image, the couch on the right appears in 2 point perspective, as the lines that would appear horizontal in 1 point are instead diagonal -- something to be aware of. With the sign for TUBE, the bottom plane will not be visible since it lands on/just under the horizon line. Overall, solid work, I think you show a really good grasp on the concept of perspective. With the few things mentioned above to keep in mind, you're off to a great start. Keep it up! :)

Nicely done!

Wonderful :)

I love how you were thinking about the personalities and shape language for these -- it definitely shines through! I do also really like the shape exploration especially with the buffalo, which I think as you reached the puma, started becoming a bit lost in favor of realism. Try thinking back to the most basic shapes you can use as building blocks for the animal's faces. Breaking up the detail in the nose bridge or the cheekbones into a shape can be something fun to explore and play around with :)

Nice! You definitely got down the understanding of this lesson, with great mapping of lights and darks in line weight. If you want to take it a step further, try tapering your lines as to transition them from heavy to light weight and vice versa. This practice will put you on the track of using variety in your linework as you sketch, making it a very useful tool. It can also help you utilize a middle weight in between heavy and light, which can be useful as you build a hierarchy of importance, with certain areas more important than others but not as the most important area overall.

Solid work!

Good start! Try sketching snakes from different angles and poses -- that can really help you get a good grasp on the basic shapes that make up the animal, and later help you create your own poses. Have fun exploring! :)

Good sketchiness and line quality! While you have strong CSI line simplification, for this assignment in particular, it helps to think less about each line individually and more about the lines as a whole, and how they connect to one another or what shapes they form together. For example, starting out with a light sketch of an oval for the penguin's body before adding in the more defined marks, or using a long curve for the arm to start out with, are good ways to get down the "big idea" shape of the drawing. You're already showing this way of sketching in certain parts, like the VR girl's square torso, even as it goes behind her hand. Applying this throughout helps streamline the drawing process and creates more freedom for you to go in with sketchy lines while keeping accuracy.

Nice work! Solid line quality and accuracy. Don't be afraid to push or exaggerate a bit when determining what kind of line to use, especially where a C would take place. A slight curve could be pushed to become a straight line, like for part of the snail shell, or a more pronounced and complex one, like the inner line for the snail body as it stretches downward, could be exaggerated into a strong S curve. A lot of room to push and play around with!

Beautiful improvement! Don't be afraid to push the darkness of values on the pear itself -- sometimes shadow areas can go all the way to Value 2 and even 1 (darkest to lightest). I also think you did a great job simplifying and creating sharp edges, and while it's great that you are training your eye to see the difference in value at a smaller scale, try keeping to the larger shape simplification like in the bottom left two pear drawings. Starting out with larger shapes first is great practice for the overall art process -- blocking in with large shapes and only afterwards breaking it down to small details. Hope this helps, and welcome to the course! :)

Nice simplification! I see already an improvement between the pear and the portrait as you start simplifying and clarifying the values. I would recommend that you work on a larger scale, especially for the pear, using up a full page if you can. That can help start some good habits in terms of posture and position, and allow more clarity in your decisions.

Great job!

Nice explorations-- I especially love the poses in the last page, they have lots of personality!

Great simplifications, you nailed it! When it comes to line quality, there'll be more practice up ahead to get down confident linework, and incorporating the warm-ups into your routine can be especially helpful to get into the rhythm as you start your practice sessions. But for now, it does help to visualize the mark you intend to make, including the specific start and end points -- and it may even be useful to make a small dot at those points. Making multiple lines to correct yourself is still a good habit, but starting lightly and only ending with a dark line once you find the correct placement can help the drawing appear more clear. You're on the right track, keep it up! :)
