Nice job, the snail looks great! The boots are on their way too! Keep up the good work!

I find drawing from imagination really hard, I struggled to draw something without directly using the references. Most of these are studies based off reference, with a few skethes of me trying to draw from imagination. Will try again after watching the next videos.

Critique very welcome, especially in regards to line weight which I'm constantly trying to improve.
Level 1 (uploaded in the order they were made) - Frustratingly challenging, but rewarding! The number of the exercise is the circled number.
I initially misunderstood the exercise and set a time limit for my drawings. Later, when doing untimed drawings, the sketches weren't necessarily better. Having a limited amount of time forced me to think in large shapes first, then add smaller shapes within. Using that concept really improved the later drawings, especially anvil and later sketches.

These are all really well done! The monkey wrench is excellent, and the line weight is very clean and well considered. You can still see your light construction lines but the forms are solidified, the construction lines only stand out if you're looking for them, great balance! On the last example you seem to push a little bit of atmospheric perspective into your line weight as the handle recedes away from the viewer, well done! Once you get a piece to the stage you have the wrench, it's all about pushing line weight in either direction. You have a really nice even foundation to build on there. You can use the line weight to bump up the shadow side of the bottom edges, or thin out some of the receding handle lines with an eraser to get a more dramatic effect, etc... It's all your preference, and what you're trying to achieve. Next step is to brush up on constructing ellipses and cylinders! Keep up the good work!

Hi I'm not sure if it works this way but I try anyway. Well what can I say... it was awesome. even if I don't usually copy from 3d reference. it was kinda hard at the start, but then I realize some of the construction shapes.
It was really funny to struggle with time and see how your art degradate into unspeakable abomination.
Thanks for that challenge and I hope you also had a great time while doing this challenge
Awesome character design, and I LOVE the feeling of atmosphere in the lighting, the tail and face being pushed into silhouette is an awesome choice, but I kinda wish we could still see SOME of your portrait for Kurt, such a great design!

This is a really fun assignment. The oceans, lakes, and rivers analogy is so helpful.
I could spend all day refining this guy. For now, this is what I have.

Level 1 attempt. I felt like it was all going ok until I tried working in the halftone values. For some reason, I went from doing the shadow parts feeling like I knew what I was attempting (even if I didn't correctly execute) to doing the halftones feeling like I was winging it. In retrospect, I think I did not apply the same effort to organizing my halftone values as I did with the shadow values. Also, I suspect that organizing lights is harder than the darks and so it requires more effort.
