This is my first sphere, Procreate w turpentine brush. I will attempt two more before moving on and add them to this post, but please feel free to critique anytime, as I'm having trouble "seeing" and unsure what I did well or poorly here. Seems blurry.

Great overview! Not overwhelming at all and that's much appreciated. In case anyone is interested, Clip Studio Paint does now have a built-in timelapse feature. ^_^ https://help.clip-studio.com/en-us/manual_en/210_file/Timelapse.htm

Did this before watching the demo, and added the notes afterwards. I did not follow all the lines used fully as I left out lines that were less appealing to me in my own opinion. Also, certain lines had to be constructed since I was using a graphite pencil. Halfway through, I noticed that it was possible that the light source was coming from the right, which improved my understanding of why certain lines were used. Overall, it was a fun exercise and I learnt a lot.

I'm unhappy with what I've done with my line weight here but I'm not sure what I should do. Please share how you would have solved this problem! background on ref: My dad's gettin old and he started feeding the squirrels. This guy appeared on my bedroom window the other day looking for a handout. Needless to say, I FEAR FOR MY LIFE.

2nd attempt at observation sketching (ty Jack, I sniped your reference pics)

Just for fun :)

Penguin first! I'll upload the rest as I do them. For fun, please enjoy my daughter's (4 yo) birds. She said "wow the penguin is too hard. but I'm really good at birds!" That childlike confidence is inspiring. I love doing my drawing exercises with her. ^_^

Quite a challenge but it was really good exploration! The graphite drawing is my final and I included my reference photos.

First Pear Attempt! Happy for feedback. I can already see many problems just looking back and forth at the pictures here, wow!
