More fun than expected! Relly enjoyed going back and forth, erasing and changing lines slightly to get a feeling of dynamism and flow. Attempted lvl 2 as well.

It's really nice to see the lessons coming together, like being able to apply various line weights to emphasize different things, or at least trying too! I feel like I started with dynamic shapes and then slipped into accurate and trying to be interesting by adding extra detail to one side of the seals lying down. Also wish I hadn't erased so many of the initial lines I put down, just got to do more...

That was hard, I feel like my biggest error was tilting the head down to the left, I think that was because of the pose leading me that way and so everything is then off and rotated out of place, doing the overlay afterwards helped with feedback. Also making human faces look realistically proportioned seems a lot harder than animals. I also think I over thought the drawing, trying to measure it all out and not look for the flow lines in the piece to check how things lined up with each other, if anyone has some thoughts I'd be keen to hear!

This was fun, I really like the hippo and rooster I ended up with, found the buffalo a bit harder to get that droopy look about it. Thanks!

I did a study of Sorie Kim, the red is what I drew and black is the originals, each animal took me a while to draw but I felt like I gained a lot of insight into varying lines, using smooth to rough lines as well as where I like to put importance. Also took that tip a few lessons back about using a red pencil, I don't get distracted by detail too early in a sketch (as much)!

I had a lot of fun with this one! I made the original image a bit lighter so I could see where I traced better. For the importance, I tried to put heavier weight on the contour and the head, eye, and horn. Thanks!

I really struggled with hierarchy because I couldn’t figure out what or how much to emphasize in the image. I remember thinking that I was learning a lot more about how that pencil behaved as I went through the exercise than any insight about organization of weights and their relation to form. I went back and tried to tinker with it a few times but eventually made myself stop because I got to a point where I felt like I wasn’t actually making anything any better. Looking at the shadow one in hindsight and with fresh eyes, I might have overdone it a bit? At least I had a better idea of where to put the heavier lines based on the photo.

I really enjoyed the Hierarchy of Importance, I felt more drawn towards this style, whereas I was less sure with the Light and Shadow method. Was great to learn about how to apply line weights, connecting the feet to the ground was something I had never tried before and keen to try more of, thank you!

I seem to enjoy trying the first image before the demo then more attempts during and after the demo and critique so I can attempt the feedback. Drawings were then the snail before, the boots after the snail demo and the camel after the boots demo, I'll save the skull for a second pass through. I made the mistake of attempting to add value and the cross-contours to the snail, and those laces on the boots were hard! felt I struggled with the big knot of laces in the top left. I tried hard with the camel to be confident with my lines, it will take some getting used too.

Hi! Here is my drawing of level-1-pear-2 before watching the demo, I am doing this on a tablet so it was interesting trying to shade with the pressure on the tablet, also tried not using the undo instead sticking to a 50% opacity eraser
