Decided that I can't put art on hold while I'm a psychologist by day. I need this space to connect with what's important in my life

The left one is from Norman Rockwell and I drew the right one.

For this assignment, you want to observe the types of lines that Rockwell is making. Its not necessarily about coping his drawing, deconstructing his thoughts on mark making.
He uses quite a light outline around the head and uses the darkest marks to show facial features, shadows around the neck, or the glasses which add so much character.
Your shape design is looking pretty good, but consider the lineweights if you want to take your drawing to the next level.
I love the music in the outro. Anyone know what it's called?

This was fun but really challenging. I ended up doing two different final sketches. The first one felt like it didn't work with the squirrel anatomy and the head looked stuck on. The second idea was to do a gormless looking squirrel with arms hanging by it's sides. It ended up looking angry...

I like my wolf better than my shark.

After drawing a few bears, I decided to draw one with a pose that came from my imagination (the one at the bottom right corner)

First the fundamentals, then the big shapes, and after that, the small ones. I think I got it!

I did this with different subjects to practice today's assignment. It was complicated and fun to merge traits into a single character. I'm not convinced about the slightly sadistic aspect on my work, as for the rest I'd be happy to know if there's something I overlooked.

Does anyone know how much is the distance between the brow and the top eye lid?
Hi, Lionel
There's not really a official measure as the distance, angle, etc change from person to person. Sometimes drastically. I came across some men that have the eyebrow almost covering the top lid and women with really high brows
I find that the best way to find it is to draw the negative shape between the brow and the eyelid. Paying close attention and measuring the points where is closer and when is farther. Eventually it becomes automatic, so keep practicing.
Best regards

Drawings made with mechanical pencil, charcoal and ink. Gosh! I noticed how easy it is to try to imitate instead of looking for shapes and curves and also wanting to fix things!

My favorite quotes from the video:
-As a designer you want to direct the eye... and tell a story...through posture and facial features (secondary),
-Simplicity equals mass appeal
-Small versus Big, curved vs straight.
-Nothing is even/ Break symmetry
