A perspective drawing of a room. On the wall is a poster of a very familiar impractical sink. Anyways I love perspective, it’s very fun to 3D-iffy stuff and I love how it can make a page feel alive

That part in confidence is very important. Unlike with lines I feel I lack confidence in my drawing as a whole, believing it’s incorrect and tweaking it instead of following through. Thanks that really made me think. 🤔

👋🫡, Looking forward to doing more, Definitely going to fill some page's exploring variations and shapes that indicate specifiv anatomy, gesture, tilts, twist, turns, balance, force, weight, rhythm, and motion😀...

all of these are so captivating. Honestly, good job. Is definitely something to aspire to!

I just like the line variety of an overhand grip, so all of these are extra messy. I’m not particularly proud of any of them in particular although I do believe that this type of thing gets better with time. Such as the line cleanliness and proportional mistakes. These were really quick, am planing to do more. However any suggestions as to how I could make the lines… well less complicated. Thanks for your time :)
Rachel Dawn Owens
The notes are great. You will learn a lot that way. Keep practicing this way. Don’t over complicate it though. Anatomy and proportions come second to the simplest statement possible.

Wow… seals were the foundation for most mammals, that’s actually mind blowing yet it makes so much sense when you really think about it. Thanks Mike Mattesi!

I am far and away not a level 2 but I’d like to challenge myself with some of the level 2 exercises. I enjoyed some of them especially the 2nd one. The last one I was… very experimental with that one, I really wanted to exaggerate that neck. I think I broke it. Anyways thanks for yours time hope you’re having a great day :)

This one was very loose, it certainly wasn’t clean and honestly I felt like there was something I was doing that didn’t align with the point of the project. I felt that I had not properly conveyed the gesture. A little confused but looking at everyone else’s job as an example I’m sure I’ll get it soon. The number represents which image it was based off of. Still found the entire thing entertaining :)

I did these after watching the critique and after taking note of other people’s drawings. Both of which really helped, hope you can see the improvement I saw.

There is definitely a better way to do this. This took me much longer and when looking back at Stan’s example I put too much detail where it wasn’t necessary. Even with all that time I definitely believe some proportional errors are still present especially the width. Simplifying is difficult for me it seems. I don’t quite understand why. Anyways, appreciate those who took their time to read to the end. 😊
Rachel Dawn Owens
Your proportions are not far off and simplification is difficult for everyone. It’s natural to want to notice details. It’s how the human mind works. You have to practice simplification over and over to understand it. You’re doing great. Keep it up!

Not only does it look fantastic but it looks so adorable as well. :)

There is something about shapes I think I’m clearly misunderstanding. I feel my shapes are either too complex or just not shapes at all. Either that or the animal looks deformed.

I think these look great! I had the same problem. One thing Stan mentioned was thinking of the shapes as "paper cutouts". This helped me when trying to vision the 2D shapes underneath. Also, containing the shapes can help make them less complex. For instance, you have a lot of "open shapes" in the red page of the second page.
