Project Learning To Sketch From Imagination
I tried to create a realistic and one more cartoony character. It was super fun.

This would be an awesome character design for animation!

I struggled with the hand and the hand of the Dance lady. Otherwise I’m not too sure what steps I could take to improve. Would love feedback as always.

First off, great line work! Definitely has a loose yet clean feeling. When it comes to more complex areas like the hands, you can break the drawing down a more basic foundation, like for example, the penguin's head could have started like a simple circle, then had the more complex features like beak & eyes added on top. In the case of the hands, you can start with a rectangle to help break it down, then add more complexity like the fingers and folds. This method is key to sketching, as artists encounter many complex subjects, it's extremely helpful to break it down and start with a simple yet solid foundation.

Well, I do the exercise before seen the demo and when I saw it I realize there was practically no simplification, so I did it again focusing in simplification and confident lines, I don´t know if it's because I'm not familiar whit digital media but It was really difficult to achieve those confident lines. Anyway I attach both tries in the exercise.
Any commentary is welcome and appreciated :v

The 2nd attempts have some great improvement in simplification. Your thoughtfulness and self-correction definitely shows. Great work overall!
Also, if you're new to digital media, these types of exercises are perfect to help you get comfortable with your tools. Practicing the basics is always a good way to familiarize yourself with any new medium. Keep going :)

Nice references! Also good simplified shapes! I think you can definitely get some more value out of your pencil, keep layering to achieve a fuller darkest value. That will give you more of a value range to work with :)

Great proportions! I think you can continue to simplify some lines down to straight lines, as not only does it force you to go simpler but also creates a balance between curves and straights.

Level 1 and Level 2 assignments before the demo. I would be grateful for any feedback to the level 2—imaginary light—exercise.

Nice work, especially w Level 2! Looking solid.

Great start! I see a lot of long, simplified rhythms that capture the energy of the pose -- keep it up! Don't feel pressured by time when you first start out and are exploring ways to simplify. You can take some time before before placing a line to envision how it will appear on the page. That will help with controlling the lines you mark on the page, keeping them simpler and cleaner.

There was no assignment on this, but looks like everyone is doing their own projects as a flash mob, so I am joining the crowd!

Very effective use of line weight! Nice work :)

Great value choices! Try doing more studies but without using linework to separate the subject matter (like outlining the people, chairs, boats, etc.) so instead the focus can be on how the values themselves break up the picture. Sometimes subjects will be combined with others (like how the standing man's face blends with the same value as the background) or be broken up into different values (like how the same man's face has some white light hitting the side). Thinking more about the abstract shapes of the picture is a way to examine the compositional and value choices made by the artist more directly.
