Not my best work but im not even sure where i went wrong. The follow-alongs i did while watching the video were decent but then doing it from imagination was.... bad.

They look great! I think they'll look even better if you go back in and clean up the outlines with a darker pencil. Some variation in line weight will help too :)

Some ginger root people from imagination. I think I'm getting better at coming up with ideas without using any references. I still have a ways to go with learning proportions and anatomy but I'm pretty happy with how these little guys turned out!

This was the most difficult project for me so far. I tried drawing the Christine car, I think it turned out OK in the end! The back wheel is partially covered so it kind of looks off. I tried drawing the headlights in perspective, too.

This is awesome! The back wheel looks the right size in perspective for this style of car, but it doesn't quite look like its nested up underneath the body of the car. It seems like the outline of the tire stops before it goes up into the wheel well. Overall, a great drawing.

Do we just eye ball the major axis? Or is there a way to be able to tell where it is supposed to be like how we discover the minor axis?
It should be perpendicular to the minor axis. So if we consider the minor axis our horizontal, the major axis will be perfectly vertical in relation to that horizontal. And yes, I think it always splits the ellipse in half in the 3D sense, but since it's a 2D drawing it seems like you have to guess where half would be?
So cute. I especially like the side view of the panda walking. I love how you simplified the shapes and made him extra adorable!!

I was getting so frustrated with this exercise that I wanted to give up, but I'm glad I didn't! I actually like how the character turned out in the end. I wanted something challenging so I went with a kangaroo/wallaby, I found their odd proportions so difficult to capture. I started off with a couple of sketches copying from photos then a few from imagination, and I thought about how big the wallaby's feet are compared to its body, so I decided to make him into a sad clown type character.
Overall this was a helpful exercise because I struggle hugely with drawing from imagination. Creating this clown wallaby instantly took me back to when I was a kid and I used to create animal characters from scratch all the time.

My attempts at the four projects. These were all before watching the demo. I might try them again after watching. I found the boots the most difficult because of those laces! I did find this technique really helpful though, it made me slow down (I'm too used to sketches needing to be 'quick') and it made the challenge of taking on complicated references actually quite simple.
