@Martha Muniz Any and all constructive criticism would be appreciated. I followed both lessons as close as possible.

Nice work! The proportions look close to the reference. I like how dimensional the eyes look.
I think one think that could help you out is to use more tapered marks.
Practicing ‘drawing through’ will help you out a lot along your artist journey.
Good stuff. Keep it up!

I am very satisfied with how these came out. I tried to follow what Stan was doing but at the same token let myself be a little loose. But all criticism is welcome to help me improve. @Martha Muniz

Hello!!
Here are my attempts on doing this exercise, I had trouble with the Buffalo because he is such an beautiful ad strong creature yet has many complicated shapes... In some I cheated a bit were I used eleven or more shapes, sorry for that but overall I think with more practise I will get there- but what do you think?
I like the way you handled the ox a lot excellent use of shapes. The other two are also really spot on

I would appreciate some constructive criticism on this. I'll review the demonstration after posting to identify areas for improvement. @Martha Muniz

Great line simplification and quality, though I agree with Maricool -- try aiming for simpler shapes (think closer to ovals, rectangles, triangles, half-circles) rather than approaching it line by line.
These look pretty close to the photo reference, well done. I think what would help with this exercise is to try to think of closed simple shapes (which can overlap). For example, looking at your buffalo I see a triangle for the head and an oval for the muzzle and two triangles for the ears. The eyes can be another two ovals. The horns are a bit tricky I wasn’t sure myself how to simplify them.

This is Lapras, the Water/Ice-type Pokémon, illustrated by Ken Sugimori. I noticed that Lapras has thin lines in the smaller details, such as the eyes, and also utilizes tapered strokes, where the lines start small, increase in size, and then decrease again at the end. @Martha Muniz

The trace on the left is hierarchy. I wanted to emphasize important features such as the horn. The right is Shadows and Light based on the photo provided. @Martha Muniz

1. Page Skating: I used the shapes in the video and also, I thought to myself about the Pokémon Ditto would be a great reference to practice this.
2. Straight lines: I haven't watched the next video yet, so these are all over the place. But I think I did okay. (I know I got the order mixed up from the video, but it is what it is)
3. Light, Medium, Dark Lines: I think I handled this one perfectly.
4. Trace the Ruler: Definitely need to work on straight lines. The darkest line is the ruler I used.
5. Connect the Dots

Good start! Try giving each exercise its own page, though. That not only improves pencil mileage (amount of practice) but also allows more room for your hand to flow and to create more tapers and long lines, which are key.
