Hi, this is my assignment. The biggest challenge - to add dynamic to a sleeping seal. :)

Here is my assignment. I took the picture of my daughter. Actually I not only added the new lines in every next step but also made corrections in previous ones when I saw I have made a mistake. I don't know if it isn't against the rules of this task. Precise measurements are not my strongest side but I did my best! :)

I hate measurement so much, lol!

Wow! This sounds like an interesting project, @Ieva Paleja. I'm sure that simply writing in English is already a very effective way to help you memorize and use the words you learn. But more than that, you're also combining the writing practice with the creative works of building up a story, characters and a fictional world, and of illustrating everything. Sounds quite complex and, certainly, a lot of fun! Hope you're enjoying the process!

Made two drawings before reviews. What do you think? :)

Great idea about using hieroglyphics! However I am afraid this never will be understood without explanation.

This looks very interesting and funny!

Well, I did five animals. I also added my cat and my dog.

When drawing from observation is getting the correct line you observe just pure intuition ? If you are not measuring. I feel like i have been really overthinking drawing from observation lately. Are you guys focusing hard on the line you are seeing on your subject and going line by line until your done. Or do you interpret the shape of your subject more and try to copy ? I hope this made any sense. I feel like the awnser is that you guys dont really think about it and just pull your line and im overthinking it.

My second assignment. This time I'm studying John Tenniel's illustrations for "Alice in Wonderland".

Where does a master study begin and just using an art piece you like as reference end?

This is very interesting challenge! I like a lot of masters but for this task I chose two: Hokusai and Albrecht Durer. Hokusai (the first one) I did with fountain pen, both Durer copies - with charcoal pencil.

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I can't seem to play the video. It loads as "completed" with the blue check with no playback option. Thanks for all that you do!

This is my submission. I used Chinese ink for rhino. I imagined the light coming from the opposite direction. And other two pictures are the same tree, in one line weight based on importance, in other - on the light/shadow. I used fountain pen for the tree. It was still cold outside so I was not able to draw the lines carefully.

Earlier I used to think that I'm "not allowed" to draw from imagination - especially people or characters. I even had no ideas what to draw. Because it was kind of "forbidden" for me. Thank to this course I understand that I can do it like everybody else and nothing bad happens. :)

This is my another assignment. Thanks to this task I dare to imagine at last.

Trying to go out of my comfort zone again.

My drawings. The girl was completely out of my comfort zone but I enjoyed drawing her!
