Asked for help
I feel like some bits might be off a bit but overall am happy with the product, figuring out how to do measurements felt like a proper brain workout 😄

The process is pretty painstaking but it will help you build your ability to intuitively eyeball proportions. Nice work!

I’ve done a few studies of frazetta and studies of the skulls by Jeff watts as well, there were definitely a few frustrating bits trying to replicate lines and not being able to make the shapes exactly as I wanted but it’s given me a more appreciation for just how good frazetta and Jeff watts are.
im going to move onto the next section of the course but will keep coming back to do more studies

I don’t have a printer so I sketched out an initial drawing lightly and then went back over :)

It turned out awesome! Nice work

First page were sketches from reference and second is drawing from imagination: he's an axolotl having a little snack of worms
I can tell some of the lines are searching and the arms I felt were hard to get to look right, still I’m actually quite happy with it

Here’s my attempts for this assignment, I didn’t erase any lines and tried to be loose with just putting marks down and then correcting with new lines if I didn’t like how it looked, mr penguins left flipper turned out a bit off but happy overall

I attempted lvl 1 and lvl 2 and then loosely repeated whilst following along with the demo (I don’t copy exactly but just try to get a feel for what stan is saying as he goes along) I went a bit too into the details for this but overall am quite happy with these
I like all of them. Yes I agree on the first attempts there are more details, I did that too and for this exercise we are supposed to simplify it which I see the improvement in simplification on the second attempts! Very well done! :)

I did the snail and boots photos
for the boots the area I found hardest were the laces and fitting them where they were supposed to go, but I am happy with how they look like they are in perspective
for the snail I was quite happy with how the lines turned out but then I got a bit too excited added some details and it ended up looking pretty messy but I at least took a picture before I went all in

I had a go at the portrait after having a go at the pear and then following the demo, I found this a lot harder with working out where to put shadows along with trying to make things look proportional but this is really the first time I’ve tried to draw a portrait so I’m going to try and be easy on myself 😄

It makes sense that a portrait would be more difficult to simplify than a pear -- please be kind to yourself! We humans are highly sensitive to faces which adds a layer of complication to the process, but if we think about the face as a whole instead of individual parts, we might have an easier time simplifying. I like to decide before I start drawing how I'm going to divide on average the lights and the darks, starting with the darks first. With portraits, it helps to remember the rule of thirds too! Hope that helps.

Before watching the demo video vs following along with the demo video, I feel like I could understand what he was saying with how and where to put the lines and values down, like I also noticed when he was shading he was changing the angles of the lines for the different planes of the pear
