Hi there, this is my attempt on measuring proportions project.

Hi there! The animal I worked on is the snow leopard. I tried several variations and attached a picture of the leopard. I would be delighted if you could give me a critique on the shape design.

hello guys, can you help me with an opinion about this drawing. How could I improve it and what mistakes did I make?

Seconding Martha! Without having been there to see the model, we can only assume. But a general assumption would say that his head in relation to his other limbs and torso probably wasn't that large.
A fun thing to do with life drawing is to pick a specific thing to study with the session. It could be worthwhile to do quick sketches one day, rendering on another or other more specific challenges,
I think you, overall, have a good grasp on some core art concepts and would love to see you try to hone in on and focus on a couple things, starting from the broadest like proportions before trying to apply them all at once.
First let me say please take my feedback with a grain of salt. The issue I see that bothers my eye is the proportions seem to be off. But I don't have enough knowledge to tell you how to fix it.

Hey there! Something to look at are the 'big picture' proportions, aka how the major masses, like the head, torso, legs, all relate to one another. It seems like the head is too large in relationship to the size of the torso, which appears shortened vertically, and the smaller hands and legs. Try measuring with the head size as a unit, since in this case the image includes more of the body in relation to the head. Measure the vertical length of the head in the original image, and use that to measure the entire vertical length of the image. Noting where each unit lands on the image will serve as your landmark points when translating onto the drawing page. If you want to double check your work, you could try a second unit of measurement, such as the length of the sleeve or his forearm, to confirm your proportions are correct.

hi, this is my level 2 line weight project.the sketch seems a bit rushed, but I wasn't advancing to the next lesson, so I posted it like this.

It’s ok if you did it a bit rushed.
This is a wonderful drawing with a lot of energy.
I really appreciate how you organized the line weight so thoughtfully.
Great work 👍

I tried these two approaches after watching the demo. In the second, I tried to highlight the inner shapes compared to the first, where I focused on the entire shape of the rhino.

Hello there! There are my attempts on level 1 project. I noted the photos after the methods that I used: 1 for hierarchy of importnace method, 2 for shadows and light direction method and 3 for depth and form method.

Nice work! While I would recommend to keep pushing the line weight range to really maximize its effect for this assignment, I think your choices read quite clearly :)
The one thing I would note is that for Hierarchy of Importance, the eye seems to be losing attention against darker skin folds around its shoulder side. The eye can be a useful center point of focus as it helps connect us with the character/subject, and emphasizing its importance via heavier weight would help accomplish this.
Overall, good submission -- keep up the good work!

hi! How can i make drawing much more fun? I have days when I draw for a long time and days when I barely manage to warm up and do some exercises. Sometimes I can't wait to work on a certain project, but sometimes I feel totally different. Can someone help me regarding this problem? thanks!

hello guys,
I m back with a little update.I brought it up to digital to see how it will come up and I can say that I really enjoyed the process overall. I struggled a little with the lineart, on paper I m doing better, but it was interesting.
I believe that the project represented an opportunity to improve my skills and I am ready to apply what I learned to my personal projects

hello guys.
I started working on the project proposed by Stan, to draw a character or an animal from my imagination. I chose red-eyed tree frog. It inspires me with dynamism and security. I looked for a series of references and started to drawafter I got familiar with the shapes and characteristics of the frog, I tried some positions from my imagination. I didn't like them, so I went back to study the frog more, I tried to simplify, but I got terribly confused with the limbs. I filled many pages, but I struggled for a long time until I finally reached a final result.
I must mention that I have been drawing more seriously for two years and I want to improve my skills. I would be grateful if you could give me some advice regarding the problems I encountered
I have also attached some sketches and the final result
