Here are my level 1 and 2 attempts after each video. Definitely felt like I improved a little bit, I think I had the most trouble with some of the photo references and then just thinking of new torso poses from imagination that I haven't done was hard too.
Rachel Dawn Owens
You did great!
@josephl
Tried to put some gesture in the first one but the more I added the more stiff it got, so when I did the tree I tried to push it even more but I almost feel like I broke the perspective in some places. Still like the idea I had, this was a fun project. Also I have no idea how to draw leaves on a tree so it just turned into scribbles in some areas.
@josephl
Had a lot of fun drawing these and I'm pretty proud of the result. Probably still a lot of problems and places to improve but I'm still happy with what I got.
Rachel Dawn Owens
These are really great! Draw more is all you need to do. You’re on the right track!
@josephl
Here is my attempt, had a lot more fun with the ginger root drawings and I think it shows in the comparison of the quality. Still wanted to try my hand at different animals.
Rachel Dawn Owens
The animals are looking nice. The ginger root drawing with the light blue pencil underneath is really cool. The underdrawing gives it a bit of a pentimento look.

fun exercise, want to focus on adding more dynamic perspective and gesture. My boxes sometimes feel off but I cant put my finger on it, normally try to check convergence and proportion but maybe it goes over my head sometimes.
Rachel Dawn Owens
Your boxes look great to me! I don’t notice any that look off
@josephl
My first attempt was without any practice and jumped right in. You can tell with the tank I got lazy and started getting impatient, cylinders are hard. Went ahead and watched the demos and critique and got a lot of help from those and then attempted both again with the new information. Tried to do a cool angle with the tank and did a lot better than the first but still feels off in areas.
@josephl
Attempted both Level 1 and 2. Level 2 was really hard and I think the second image from Level 1 I struggled on a lot. Tried my best though.
Melanie Scearce
Great improvement on your second go around. Your first level two drawing looks fantastic!
@josephl
I still have a long way to go but I probably just need to keep consistently doing them for improvement.
Melanie Scearce
Consistency is key. You're on the right track, keep it up :)
@josephl
Did this digital but didn't want to use any built in tools so I free handed the perspective, need to get better at drawing straight lines on my pen tablet because they always come out skewed.
Harry Vederchi
that's a nice start. keep going. Draw with your whole arm if you want to have straight lines.

First I did all the poses and then watched the demos and drew along with them. Had a lot fun with these and want to draw more figures so I'm going to do this exercise a lot more.
