Tried Simplifying on different references, mainly animals. Any critique is welcomed.

Love how the bears turned out, great curves. It's hard to say without seeing the original image, but the rhino feels a little over-simplified, especially the feet. It gives it a cartoony look, but if that's what you were going for, it looks great!
@praxi
Level 1 homework! Will probably do some studies of my own for level 2. Critique welcome.
Martha Muniz
Nicely done!

An attempt at sketching a "realistic" version of my dog's toy, Tigersnake

wider mouth version

First attempts at this exercise. It's definitely challenging not to focus on contour when my measuring skills are still very off, but I tried! I did scrap a couple first attempts at these because the proportions were very off from the beginning.

Did the robot too
@praxi
Here's my skull! This is before watching the demo. I got a little lazy when doing the neck, would probably fix that in a future attempt.
@praxi
Camel attempts 1 and 2. Second one is partially traced over the first, but I wanted to make the legs cleaner and the angle of the nose more clear.
@praxi
My snail and boots! The laces were a MAJOR challenge, they took me a very long time and I still feel like those lines are quite choppy compared to the rest of the boots. But I got it done! Will probably redo the snail after watching the critique video. Happy to receive any critique on these.

The boots look awesome!

Had more trouble than I expected doing this exercise digitally. I find that my ellipses are more accurate if I go fast, but my line weight is better if I go slow. Will definitely keep practicing this!

I’m not sure if this is true for everyone, but I find that the mushroom exercise is more difficult to do digitally. The dexterity you can achieve with a digital stylus is limited in comparison. It looks like you did a nice job anyways. Good work stretching and squashing the mushrooms. 👍
@praxi
Here are my assignments, done digitally. Did some editing to the shapes as I went for the portrait, as I found they were off a bit in the initial sketch.

Great job distinguishing the 5 values. I like how you grouped the shadows in the portrait! Keep it up :)
