hiya! I love this assignment. The idea of compiling reference and then inventing is something I never thought to do, but I look forward to exploring the techniques more!
In the future, I think I'll do more prep drawings so I can pose the characters however I want. More exploratory than finished. Keep it up everyone!

After rewatching the lesson, looking at my drawings, and comparing them to the video example, I notice right away that I was attempting to be far too controlled and perfect. I think I was kicking the ball towards the wrong goal, so to speak.
That lovely energy and liveliness is missing from mine. I also notice that some of my lines are far darker than others and it makes it look a little weird.
Alas, here we are! Good job everyone!

HI everyone!
Super fun project right!? I neglected drawing the snail because YUCK but other than that, I just went ahead and tried everything. Is it just me, or are the level 1 boots harder than the level 2 project references?
Loving everyone's projects, lets keep it up!

Level one and two from provided photos. Pears were thumbnails ~ 15 min, portrait took one hour.

Hope I'm not jumping "ahead" too much! These models are fun to work from! Pencil rough then fountain pen. Should I just stick with ballpoint or fountain pen only?

Broke the 3 forms into individual pieces, then made some more on an actual armature.

My three armatures. Having a little trouble wrapping the wire without twisting the two together, and getting it tight around the joints. Any tips?

One thing you could do is darken the values in the arches and under the bridge for more contrast. Those beautiful arches don't pop the way I think you maybe want them too, so darkening all of those interesting shadow shapes would add some ever important contrast! You may also consider adding darker values in those rocks on the left, and also maybe add a foreground element off to the right. Great work!

This is very cool! One thing you may want to watch out for in the future is edge control. What I mean by that is that in some places in your reference, the shadow shape has a sharply defined line, and in your rendering, it is a soft, blurry line in that same place. Hard lines add contrast, interest, and dynamism, so make sure you push those hard edges whenever you can.

Hello Proko People!
This is my first post asking for advice. I think the following drawings are decent but I get the impression the form and the gesture can be improved.
Any advice from a fresh pair of eyes is appreciated :)))

Wow!!!
These are so amazing. The fact that you keep gesture and form in one piece without losing one or the other is so impressive.

2022/3/16. Good morning everybody. Here’s some hi lights from my daily 30 minutes warming up exercise. 2 mins poses. Thanks and have a good day.

My process was a huge struggle and all over the place. I shaded the muscles individually instead of grouping shadow shapes like Proko instructed. Now I'm trying a new study by grouping shadow shapes, but I still kinda feel like I'm guessing my way through. Every critique is appreciated!

I think the biggest thing you can do that would help the piece is adding hard edges to your shadows. You achieve a pretty great range of values which is great and something I struggle with.
When looking at the piece though, sometimes things get "mushy" for lack of a better word. In the area of the scapula and traps for example, in the reference there is a hard edge, where your piece has a gradation in the same area. I really think just finding some places to add in hard edges will make your piece pop!

Hey Everyone! Here is Part 1 of my homework for this assignment. Any feedback welcome!

Your line quality is so good! So sharp and precise, I can tell you have a lot of confidence which is amazing. Box #5 has the vertical set of line converging towards the bottom when they should be converging towards the top, if I'm not mistaken. Also, if you emphasize the corners of your boxes more, it makes them pop off the page, where when you emphasize the edges, then it can flatten things out.
Great work!

I wish this is what I looked like after three weeks! These already show understandings of important concepts, gesture mainly. I think what you think is wrong right now is that they look a little flat. This is "easily" augmented with practicing drawing basic forms and then practicing drawing the mannequin. Don't worry about shading during these, as that's something that can be done later.
