I played around with the boxy shape of the capybara before arriving at a rounder onigiri shape lol. I’m not sure if it simplified it too much for this exercise but I love her round little body

First attempts, before watching the demo vs second attempts after watching the demo video. (Second attempts have the dates at the bottom)
The biggest difference I noticed is the attention to detail in my boot laces. And also the general shape of the snail.
You've got some really nice tapered lines. I can see a lot of improvement between the two. Your first attempt had very hairy lines, but the second ones have much cleaner sweeping lines.
A small not on the second snail: you added darker lines over a light sketch for the snail but not the wood, giving the wood a messy vibe. Consider giving it the same outline treatment as you did with the rest of the snail!

Two questions:
1) how do I empty the staedtler sharpener once it gets full?
2) is the hole on the bottom for storing the extra white bits?
Hey Kristelle,
I think your questions are answered but this is a visual answer:
I'm pretty sure the bottom hole just forms a post to attach the metal sharpener to. I went and got my spare felt's thinking your idea with a little tape was genius, but felts are just to large meaning they would be impossible to get back out.
1 - the entire top black part pulls off like a lid, so that the entire interior including the sharpening blades are exposed. You can just dump the graphite shaving out and then gently push the black lid back on.

Here is my submission for level 2, using toned paper as the lighter mid-tone
Very cool, I love the toned paper and the warmth it gives to the values. Well chosen. This looks great, edges are clear and I think those blocky shapes instead of curved lines work well for simplifying purposes, and give this drawing a nice style. Lovely. :D.

Here’s my level one submission! I used the background of the paper as the lighter mid tone
The hope one is so pretty!! And the skull one is pretty rad as well! I’d love to see a photo if you end up finishing that one

I have been sketching every day since the new year and trying to use readily available tools. I liked the advice not to be too precious with our sketchbook. It is liberating!
