Spent too much time focused on the head I think, without refernce I got pretty lost trying to workout the body and wings. Fun exercise though, I will defiantly continue to do this on my own.

These are amazing, Owls are such cool birds.

I found this assignment to be quite the challenge. I will have nightmares about shoelaces and the spinal cord vertebrae columns. That said, I think having a difficult time is a good thing, if it's challenging then it means more experience is gained. These took me quite a long time to make. It was around 3 and a half hours for the boots and snail and 3 hours for the camel and skeleton. Any feedback is appreciated. For anyone using Clip Studio paint and is interested, I figured out how to create a .gif timelapse from the Clip Studio Paint .mp4 timelapse export. you might have to clip "Open Original" in order to see it better. So I like looking at timelapses as it's a good way to see how one goes about drawing something. It would be interesting to see other peoples timelapses. For those who have Clip Studio Paint, here are instructions to how I do it: (If you don't have ffmpeg installed and working then this won't work, it's a useful free command line tool) 1. Within Clip Studio Paint make sure your instance is recording timelapse. You can do this by going to the top left bar and File -> Timelapse -> Export Timelapse, then choose the settings you like, I use 60 seconds but you can make it much longer. 2. Locate your .mp4 file. Open the folder containing the .mp4 file you exported from Clip Studio Paint. 3. Open a terminal in the folder. Right-click in an empty space in the folder and select "Open in Terminal." 4. Run the ffmpeg command. In the terminal, type the following command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "fps=15,scale=1280:-1:flags=lanczos" -c:v gif output.gif (Make sure to change the input.mp4 name and also the scale= needs to change if it exports large than 1MB you can't upload. I recommend either 1024, or 960, you just have to play around with it to get the size you need). Also increase fps makes file size a bit larger. 10-20 is best. 5. Replace input.mp4 in the command with the name of your .mp4 file and output.gif with the desired name for your GIF. 6. Check the output. Once the command finishes, your new GIF (output.gif) will appear in the same folder as the .mp4 file. Make sure it's under 1MB in size.

So cool! Thanks for taking the time to write up the tutorial. You have the right idea with this exercise -- a challenge is a good thing. When you're just starting out after a period of not drawing, you have a lot to re-figure out in your process, which slows things down and feels a bit overwhelming. But with consistency, it will become smoother. It's interesting to see your process here. Working digitally comes with perks which include the undo button and transform tools. These are super useful functions, but when training your eye to be accurate they can serve as a crutch. Just something to keep in mind. I think the end result looks great, and you made good decisions when simplifying to CSI.

Asked for help
1st attempt at the snail ( 〃..) i did go over some of my lines with a darker pencil after because it wasn't showing up enough in the photo... i'm pretty happy with the shell, i think the snail itself is too long (on the left and maybe in the middle section as well). however i had fun drawing it!

This looks great, i like the lines you did on the shell to show the shape, I was thinking about doing that but never did.
@fox4
It has been 3 or so years since I have drawn anything. I want to start taking it serious so I hope these class help. I was hoping I could upload the 9MB clip studio paint time lapse .mp4 file so I could get for potential feedback if during my process I was doing anything wrong but unfortunately this platform doesn't support it. I look forward to posting more.

You did a phenomenal job in my opinion. I also use Clip studio paint and I wanted to upload a timelapse as well but I couldn't. I mainly used the pencil tool and that was about it but I would love to learn how to draw digitally like this. I'm going to watch some tutorials on CSP, then comeback to revisit this course and redraw my images.
