Nice work, great looseness! I think you definitely have good sketching habits down. One thing that can be helpful to remember is the CSI line variety from an earlier lesson. I notice a bit of a tendency to go towards curves here, so try incorporating more straight lines into your drawing, too. You may find that straight lines both help add variety and also help with accuracy and structure. Even with looser drawing, it's still helpful to keep straight lines as part of your drawing toolkit.

Very nicely done! You nailed this assignment. The only thing I can suggest is that you continue to practice your long, loose tapered strokes. There's a few areas where your lines get a bit 'hairy,' meaning you used many shorter lines to make one long line. The mushroom warm up is a great way to practice the movements necessary to get those long strokes. I see that especially in the curves. It may be helpful to start a drawing session by doing a few mushrooms, here's a link to that lesson: https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/warmup-mushrooms.

I think you're on the right track! One thing that is very useful in loose, observational drawing is using an undersketch -- so very lightly drawing a simple, loose outline, like a basic shape, just to mark where the drawing will go. For example, the penguin could be a simple circle for the head and a larger oval for the body. Once you have that accurately placed, you can go over that sketch with your more detailed lines. This method is helpful in creating a more accurate and proportionate sketch, and helps you tackle one thing at a time when drawing instead of having to juggle the details at the same time as the proportions and placement. Hope this helps!

The changes you made to the design of VR girl are awesome, nicely done!

These look really good! Your proportions across the board are pretty spot on! It's great to see your light construction lines, and how you're building up these sketches. I think you could continue to go a little lighter on your first lines before committing. Try ghosting the lines you're about to make a few times before laying down the final line like in the Mario Mushroom Warmup https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/warmup-mushrooms This also helps with laying down clean tapered strokes https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-draw-confident-lines-the-tapered-stroke Keeping your sketching/searching lines light, early on, helps you design these larger simplified shapes with more accuracy, and then you can commit to a darker line when you've found the one you're searching for. Try to look for the longest, simplest, continuous lines through the forms first, and then continue to break down from there. Sketching out a light "envelope" for what you're about to draw will also help you keep your drawing fully on the page. It looks like your VR Girl's feet got a little cut off (we've all been there!) By lightly sketching out an estimate for the top, bottom, sides, and middle of what you're planning to draw, you give yourself a scaffold to work within on the page that can be adjusted or erased as you lay in the rest of the sketch. Hope this helps, keep up the good work!

Nicely done! I think your proportions look great here. Your line quality is overall pretty good; my suggestion would be to practice laying in your lines a bit lighter. There are areas where the lines have gotten a bit dark, maybe because you were searching for the right light. Keeping your lines light and only darkening the one that you feel good about will help keep your linework super clean.

These look great! Very clean, simplified lines, nice work!

I think I get what you mean. I have been approaching each assignment with a certain sense of dread. I really like that you embraced the sketchy lines he asked for. And they very confidently get across the original image. That hand is sure a killer, though, isn't it? Drawing hands seems like a hurdle for every artist and here it is at level 1!
