Went and took a look at the critique video after having some trouble on what to focus on, and fell in love with the work by Iain McCaig. Here is my attempt at studying his line work; looking forward to trying more. Had a lot of fun with this one. Would love any critiques that you all might have for me.

Second study of a James Gurney sketch , added a photo before shading this time. Also experimenting with different hardness pencils.

I was so intimidated by this that I drew mine so small without even thinking about it, making it harder to get in the lines and details with the lines I observed. I will try this again with another one of his sketch drawings tomorrow. original art work by Kim Jung Gi from his 2011 sketchbook page 35. Rest in peace Kim,
I really like the notes you took on the original piece, it showed you were really studying how he used line weight. As you said, i think it would be good to draw it even bigger so you could play with the line weight some more to try and replicate what he did. Great start though with the crisp line on the nose, and heavier line weight on the lower spots of hair.

Finished up my three assignments for the rhino. I really liked the breakdown on how line weight can be used to tell a story. I’m looking forward to trying some from observation.

Really good. The third one is my favorite. The stick figure guy with the flashlight is fun :)

This is my second attempt after rewatching the video and demo. I lost sight of doing a loose sketch and instead focused too much on a character last time. Doing it with a loose sketch and exaggeration led to this one being much funner to do, and took much less time. Definitely going to keep all the demo tips in mind, it helped a ton!

I definitely had a tough time with this one. It was fun trying to problem solve my way through it with anatomy in mind. That being said, I really struggled with the arms and figuring out where to pose them. First photo is finished product, then reference, then WIP pics.
After watching the demo, I realized that since i took a bit of a break from the course, i forgot the point of the exercise being sketchy lines. Im looking forward to tackling this project again with another animal.

Fell off the wagon for a few weeks, I realized I was following the course a bit too rigorously, without drawing some stuff I enjoy every now and then. Been drawing cats to get back into the groove of drawing from observation and having a blast, looking forward to level 2 of this lesson!

Very pleasing simplifications of form, cute stuff!

Cats are so fun to draw. I love your studies!

I enjoyed going for the looser sketching technique, it really removes a lot of the hesitancy that comes along with making that first line on a clean page. I’m fairly pleased with the hand and penguin, but man that VR girl was a struggle for me for some reason.

Did these before the demos, was more under the impression it was about breaking down the shapes VS getting good clean lines with the arm so I was cleaning up my lines as I went along. I should've left them alone, but I feel like they were mostly clean anyway.

Continued practice with some other photos. The tip on viewing things as being in an “envelope” helped a lot.

Lovely simplification! Great linework :)

Pre demo boots. Not sure if I may have skirted the rules by combining the types of CSI lines. Should I push to simplify my lines more?
Finished up the rest of level 1 and 2. I think the one I struggled with the most was the camel, which in my mind I figured would be on the easier side. These are all pre-demo, so I am interested to see how Stan goes about tackling these. I definitely got a bit lazy towards the end on the skeleton. I also tried to make pen size smaller, as I think the larger size was hiding some of my line quality mistakes. Finding that sweet spot between oversimplifying and too much detail is much more difficult than I imagined.
