Introducing: Ciri The Rat!! yeah. The one from the Witcher. Cause she was a part of a crew that called themselves “Rats”. Get it??? Anyway. I’m really happy with how it turned out, but if anyone has some advice or critique I’d love to hear it!

Wow, these have so much personality! Beautiful renderings. I love the line weight you've chosen, but if I were to be picky, maybe the drawings could have more diversity of line weights. Specifically on the characters with clothing. I think you could tune down some of the bolder strokes on the clothes and choose to go bold only on the areas where you want to bring the viewer's attention OR in moments where there is one form overlapping another to give us a sense of depth. But I love your creativity with these! solid understanding of the forms and proportion. There's an amazing book by Patrick J Jones called Drawing from Photos that helped me understand how to correct for camera-altered proportions. In the Rastafarian mouse photo, the lens is clearly foreshortening the mouse too much, I found that if I can correct those proportional things, I can have a better drawing. For that one specifically, the far leg and the lower body should not taper quite so much as the photos suggest. The lens that was used created a stronger taper since it was likely shot on a wide angle while very close to the subject.

Basic Drawing- Learning to Sketch from Imagination. I love how baby goats just leap like they've been electrocuted and they think it's the best thing ever! I chose to draw them "from imagination" climbing on objects because I wanted to attempt some round perspective. I would like some feedback about my sketches from the photos as well as sketches from imagination. Thank you to Melanie and everyone else who's commented. I really appreciate it.

Okay wow!? This looks great, your drawing from imagination is truly incredible! Keep going!
@luc_
Okay, wow!? this actually helps and explains a lot. a while ago I’ve been drawing from imagination a lot, and my first drawings looked really poor - but this makes me realize that I probably just didn’t explore my ideas enough with the searching lines, I just immediately jumped into the drawing after doing a thumbnail, without actually being sure what it is that I want to draw. I think that letting ourselves do a “bad” version of what we want put on paper first might give us a better idea of what do we actually want it to be. This sure is gonna change my approach to drawing!

Hi!!!! just finished the portrait, it’s the third one I’m making, first one after watching the demo. Two things I realized: making a thumbnail first really helps, and you can’t be doing it in a hurry, or you’ll mess up the proportions, it made my first two attempts look really bad. anyway, would love to get some critique!! and good luck to y’all!!

Wow! Serious skills! I love the eyebrow (drawn-on eyebrows are tricky because you still need to account for the actual brown ridge) Your's is looking a a slightly different focal point, but you captured her expression so well!

This turned out incredible @luc_! Really not much of a critique but I really like how you made the bottom of her hair and the shadow that going into the collar one shape -- I think that idea it would look nice applied underneath the chin also instead of having her neck outlined by the white line. You could use the light color of the lining of the collar to break up the shapes and give her neck more form.
