This was daunting, but fun. I stressed about it for a while, but then I told myself that I didn't have to finish in one go, broke it down into parts, and just dove in. The artist is Peter De Seve,

I found with the lighting drawing, that I had to pay more attention to the taper of the lines, in order to get rounding of forms.
I had a tough time with this, I think I got thrown by the fur and trying to keep it to just lines. But I was able to settle down and push/pull some features of the face to come up with some different ideas.
your searching lines are pretty good. Just keep exploring the shapes of the face before you put down any final lines.

Finished the level 1 project in one sitting, I like the assignment, and I really loved drawing the VR girl’s chonky legs! 🤩
What do you think I should focus on to improve? As with the skull from the previous lvl 2 assingment, I’m struggling to get nice line weight variation going instinctively while drawing these more organic subjects.
Laurent really nice stuff. maybe try "throwing" the lines more from the shoulder and elbow, that helps me to get the line weight sometimes.

lots of fun with this one. The comic book quality makes for a lot of fun and action like lines, you can feel the energy in the pose just by drawing the lines and arcs

I went to the art store today to look for Red / Blue pencils pencils.
I found that for pencils available, I could not control the amount of colour, no matter the pressure I applied, on the pencil to the paper, the colour was sort of just deep ! So that made me wonder what pencil manufacturer or colour material is in the pencils that Stan demonstrates with ?
When searching for a line, they appear to have a good range of Red between light and dark.
Any advise would be appreciated?
Look for non photo blue pencils. They are made to not show up in a photocopy, which is why artists use them to start a sketch. They can do the sketch in non photo blue, then line work over and photocopy it to get a cleaned up drawing with just the linework showing up.
first pass on the penguin. Felt pretty good abt it, but got tangled up on the feet.

I tried to keep this simpler than the boots, and found that I was able to see more rhythms in lines that way.
