Congratulations to those who won! 🏆
Ghosting helps with good line quality, basically to draw any lines with precision and yes ghosting helps with drawing egg shapes and drawing that

The first one was without a Grid, the rest was with a grid. I struggled with the binoculars because it was very cylindrical and especially it can move! It isn’t a stiff form. So it moves on all axis and it tapers :’ ) . To add I haven’t watched the demos yet

Dear Marshall and my fellow classmates,
Sorry that I was not actively participating in this course in the last 2-3 months, as life has been difficult lately. Finally, I got a month to draw as much as I want. But this pattern will last for at least 1 more year. I will try my best to absorb the course material as much as possible though.
Here is part of my assignment from the last 1-2 months. The first 3 pics and the last 1 were done last week. The 3rd and 4th were done after watching the demo, definitely go better in managing the proportion.
Tried to simplify the form, using a simple blob and box approach. Kind of struggling for the Pokémon in the last pic, as it is really organic, and so many plane cuts, I tried my best to consider how much plane I am seeing and simplified some planes, but yeah, that's difficult.
No need to apologise Brandon, glad to see you back! Well done with the sketches. You definitely got something out of the assignments!
You learn to draw people and faces or anything you want by starting the basics of drawing or fundamentals. It takes time, there isn't a fast way to learn to draw

Which paper is good for drawing with the tapered lines
Any paper can be used to draw tapered lines. Use any type of medium that you feel you feel comfortable. Using a light medium like fine tooth surface is a great start for pencil and pen

Studies from various artists I admire. I feel like I did some better than others.

I feel as my line quality got better the faster I went. I enjoyed this challenge, because it challenged my thinking! This challenge helped me think on how I should simplify the shape before actually putting down. The Piano was the hardest for me, and I HATED the oval for the trumpet's head! I did all looking at reference instead of the semi-truck. I did it completely from memory using a brush pen. I only looked back at the reference when the timer ran out then put it away once I started the timer. (ordered from last to first)

Here are some sketches of a few of the objects as well as some figures I drew in my live figure drawing class. I was unable to take pictures of the models, but they were all my attempt at rotating the figure and drawing from memory together. The tools were a combination of drawing from memory as well as memory and rotation.
