One point perspective room with an impractical sink (or very practical if there are any dirty books) and a cubic ... cat? I noticed that the perspective lines easily come darker and darker while going back and forth. Perhaps the book case and couch took too much of the room - could've fitted in more things but I stopped here to not clutter everything up too much. :)

This is my first time following along with a Proko assignment, and I think I did pretty well. I've had a bit of practice before starting this course, but I do think I could use a little more work in the area of value and shading.

Boxes, boxes everywhere :D

I think the hardest part for me is that I keep falling into essentially doing a quick sketch of the contour instead of really focusing on rhythms. Its a bit of a weird feeling because when I watch the demos it seems obvious what to do and then when it comes to doing it myself I keep reverting back to contour. I tried to push and push myself more and more to focus on rhythms instead, so the later drawings will look more "simple" than the first ones. I also think that my control over line quality is not good and that also contributes to the rhythms not having the smooth, flowing feeling that I'd like them to have. I think my greatest strength in these is that many of them do feel firmly grounded, which was exciting because i usually tend to draw figures that feel like they're floating. I didn't time myself strictly but I tended to go around 7 minutes per sketch and did them in several sessions.

I really really liked this exercise - albeit the messy results. I drew them twice. These are from the second time. B-pencil - I tried to do the overhand grip - it's challenging to control the pressure and line width with it. I erased a lot started adding unnecessary details towards the end. 2 poses per one side of 9x12 inch paper, except my two fave poses with got their own whole sheet on thicker paper. :)

Keeping the lines loose and flowy gets harder the more complex the pose is. I tried to identify gesturelines (turned out to be more action-line focused) and then draw the shape around the motion with one side more fluid and the other with more nooks. With the last image I think this was not working out very well, but there's something almost like a beginning of a spider there. :)

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

I haven't picked up a pencil since I was 18 years old, and I decided to learn how to draw again with this training program. For my first drawing in Procreate, I tried to create shading by just increasing the pressure without adjusting the color, using an HB pencil.😅😊

The following a previously drawn circle exercise is pretty hard - so is trying to draw it within a given shape. After 3 or 4 sheets of nothing but circles, I started adding them into and around perspective boxes. XD

I stuck to mainly level 1 - this was even harder than the CSI lines, imo. I went over the 10 shapes limit a couple of times.
