added comment inHow to Mechanize Organic Forms
Here, I took a shot at drawing a skull I found on Sketchfab. (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/chamois-rupicapra-rupicapra-8c279797eed148ddac38f6e78b73e27f) I also explored how hydraulic mechanisms work on a digger and applied that concept to the skull. I really enjoy this way of thinking—studying organic forms, mechanizing them, and turning them into an interesting design.

This is really cool! Love all the exploratory sketches too! I'd love to see this head on a full robot

I tried drawing a goat skull from reference a couple of times, and then I tried turning it around in my head and draw a mechanised version from memory. I think it turned out alright, but I didn’t really get a good grip on the 3D form of the skull. I think that a 3D model, or the real thing like Peter had, would have helped a lot. The references were all too similar and they gave me an idea of the silhouette instead of the 3D form.

Loving seeing all these mechanical animal skulls

Great study! Really captured the proportions

Yes, that's right

This is not really related to the crit which was really helpful, but is there a lesson to go with the airplane model? I want to make sure Im not missing anything.
•

Strictly speaking, no, but the airplane will make appearances throughout the course. This week we'll be releasing a demo further demonstrating the blob approach to create airplanes.

Hello! I was wondering if there is a roadmap or schedule for this class? Mostly wondering how long until it is finished :) thank you!

Here's a look at what the course entails. Currently we are on Lesson Group 4. Currently we are on track to finish Part 1 around September

Here, I gave the blob method a try and created some characters. The arm of the digger, in particular, caught my attention—it’s definitely worth studying more deeply to improve my ability to draw it more freely and confidently.

Nice! I love the guy in the hard hat on the far right side

Asked for help
Hi Marshall, just to clarify about the assignment and the Blob approach.
Is the assignment asking us to draw the object's simple form in boxes first? Or would we need to apply the Blob approach, and draw the blob shape first? For example, at 6:55, the digger looks like the blob shapes were drawn first before the boxes.
Or is practising the Blob approach more like a 2nd assignment to prep us for a future lesson, and is separate from this lesson's assignment?
Thanks a bunch

We're gonna go into more detail on the blob approach in the next premium lesson (other than the critique) which will come out later this week! You can consider the blob approach to be a separate technique.

I’m new to proko. Does anyone know if courses usually progress this slowly?
•

1-2 videos a week is typical for ongoing Proko courses. And then around the holidays our release schedules can be impacted causing some delays, but typically we hold steady with the weekly releases.
