the most complex was №1, 3, 17.

Level 1: As with previous perspective assignments - harder than expected! Especially imagining the bottom plane of the head. It helped starting with the "edge" closest to me and drawing the largest visible plane first.

Had a go with ballpoint, trying to clean up my line weight. Not overly happy with the result, but it was good practice! Being right handed, I have a tendency make my perspective drawings lopsided. I compensated for that in the photo, but I really should turn the sketch more while drawing.

The First image on the left is following along stan as I watch the demo. I noticed I learn better by watching first than rewatching it again and following stan as this gives me an idea of his thinking process. the 2nd image from the left is my warm up and two thumbnails that allowed me to play with an idea. Thumbnails do help a lot! the 3rd image from the left is my first part of this assignment. I only used ruler for the boarders, the horizon lines and the 1 point perspective lines, everything else was without ruler. the last image which is my first attempt done. It is a UFO abduction using my favorite warm up, mushrooms! lol. I used the circumference technique I learned from @Melanie Scearce for the UFOs since their circles or ellipses. Will watch critique next..

This was harder than I thought it would be! I think I made it harder for myself by trying to have a wide perspective. I will do some new ones from a more "zoomed in" perspective and add them as replies to my original post. Added small and oddly shaped toy pianos to practice the level 2 assignment. I tried to do my kitchen from memory. To compare, I took a picture from my imagined seating (after I finished drawing). Any feedback appreciated! Also, yay or nay for bookshelves over the TV?

Having a intensely tough time with this. Will do more after watching the demo.

As always, critique very welcome! Spent more time on this assignment than I intended because of sheer enjoyment! All drawings done on newsprint with the overhand grip (I had some prior experience since drawing from Proko videos back in 2015). As a grand crescendo, I attended a live figure drawing session yesterday. Would warmly recommend it to fellow students. The poses in the live session were 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes, break, 10 minutes, 5 minutes and 2 minutes, like a pyramid. Was amazing how much better the latter 2-minute drawings looked compared to the first ones (included time indications on the live drawings). Some things I learned: - Fewer lines with more weight variation has more impact than more lines with equally large weight variation. - Exaggerating the pose makes all the difference! - Increasing the "fish-eye" perspective in a pose can have great effect. - Don't make the head too small! - Simpler shapes are more expressive. - With the correct sharpening of the pencil it feels like painting!

Critique welcome! This so mcuh fun to do. Favourite project so far! Something really calming about drawing these creatures. Being able to combine simple shapes, line weight and gesture made it feel like a culmination of what we've learnt so far. The video drawing animals with Aaron Blaise also helped!

Two final layins before moving on to the citique video. Timothée was made by careful measuring, took forever. Had to re-do all features because I didn't have discipline to finish the big shapes first (outline of head). Let that be a lesson for me! Second guy should need no introduction! Made by eyeballing and doing a few corrective measurements. To me, this is the way to go. I made more mistakes, but I made them in shorter time allowing me to correct continuously. Didn't take nearly as long as Timothée and had a better result. Perfecting this is gonna take years!

3 phases and then some corrections in phase 4 for the final overlay. I also switched to a darker pencil because I couldn't get a decent digital comparison with phase 3 drawing otherwise. I think in phase 3 it became apparent that the clothing was not in the right place (too much to the left) I also tried to fix the shoulder but it's still clearly off. As for the face, I noticed that I had straightened the tilt - while doing the overlay the overlay I had to rotate the paper for around 2 degrees counter clockwise to see if the proportions otherwise matched. The hat's not quite right - on the face I think the main issue is the mouth being a bit too high. While the digital shenanigans got a little tricky (I use gnuIMP) this was fun - I love faces :D
