Played with a few of the illusions already shared by other students. Appreciate all the material people are finding and posting. Playing with isometric perspective was new for me. It's pretty fun. Nice to be gaining tools to understand illusions.

They very cool , isometric is new to me as too ::)

I like the little cross object. Will definitely try it. I see that you added an extra cube in the pyramid: It has the unfortunate effect to not show the star in the middle, which is the surprise bonus to see if you nailed your proportions down. I've posted my test, which needs work, but I'm working on a method to start from a perfect star towards the blocks and that's a lot harder then outside-in. Cheers!

Got caught up in drawing a went a bit beyond the proportion only assignment. Definitely a change of pace from playing with shapes.

Hello!, this is my attempt at this project. I hope that the pictures are clear enough, I had a little trouble with the lighting. This assignment was so much fun and I feel like I learned a lot through these drawings :)

Nice work. I especially enjoyed your house cats and gorillas. The gorilla on the far left has a nice flow to it and the cat with crossed arms is giving lots of personality.

I did a few pages of my own and drew along with the live stream. Drawing the same animal sharp, round, and square is particularly fun.

My Studies - Alphonse Mucha is one of my all time favorite artists. Rembert Montald's sketchbooks / instagram feed are super inspirational. Always love spending time with their work.

these are all amazing, I love the ballpoint pen one, and the pilot one, these have a very distinct design and style, also these things are what make a piece intriguing! keep up the good work
Melanie Scearce
Great choices for this assignment, and love the ballpoint pen drawings! Keep it up :)

Did another go with otters this time. One page of studies and then an original pose. This has been a very helpful exercise for me learning to take from reference as opposed to being tied to reference. Lots of fun.

This is really cool to see. Thanks for sharing. I especially enjoyed your pages of red studies. For the final piece, my critique is that you lost a bit of the flow in the end, which was an emphasis point of the lesson. With the strong, stylized angles in the legs and body, I think the flowing curves of the table become more important. A couple of your sketches included tails with a bit more energy and flow, I'd have loved to see that carried through to the final sketch.

Here's mine: a chameleon. I did a quick page of exploration to try to find some shapes, then worked on the main sketch. I've always been very tied to my references, so being asked to change things up a bit was a good challenge for me. It was a playful iterative process. Fun assignment.

These were fun warm-ups. On to the next one.

Tried the skull.

I like the feel of your lines, especially in the skull/hat. You lose a bit of that in the more detailed sections of the spine. The first rib, in particular looks a bit less confident than your lines on the top half of the page. This one was hard though, so nice job.
