What is the significance of moving the two vanishing points closer, like how do I know where to place them? If the two vanishing points are closer (like in the top drawing), is that similar to like a fish eye lens on a camera in how it warps things? Just trying to understand it better, where these points should land.
Similar to a fisheye lens, yes! Or even more so like a wide-angle lens. You could think of it like the bottom image is how a box would look if you took a photo from far away but zoomed way in, while the top is like if you took the same photo from up close but zoomed way out. Both could be correct but will make for different kinds of compositions.

Attempt 1. Finding it really challenging working with the charcoal pencil, especially overhand, and also hard to focus on rhythms and not get caught up in contours and anatomy. Need to keep practicing this one.
These are strong attempts. I felt the same way with charcoal when I first started. I'm not a professional at it yet, but it's a great material for figure drawing. Just keep up the great work, you're on a solid pace.

I found this one really challenging. There are so many things to keep in mind!

These look great!it’s ok to take your time while you’re learning. Don’t draw faster than your thoughts. These guys are awesome.

Slow process and a lot of mistakes along the way, but the final proportions came out pretty accurate! Shoulder's way off, and the angle of the eyes and mouth are slightly too steep, which also placed the ear slightly high, but pleased overall.
Revisiting after watching the critique (and a night's sleep) - shape of the eyes is off (width okay but too tall), this and the overly steep angles of the eyes and mouth might both be partly from drawing on a flat table so will play around with working on a tilted board. My linework is still less clean than I'd like so will continue working on that. Really eye-opening exercise!

Great simplification! I especially like the variety of approaches for the hippo :D
Not the point of this exercise, but one thing I learned for next time: need to lean my pose farther forward (face ahead of the knee, not directly above it) to look more clearly like running instead of just doing a cool pose.

Took another try at this after watching the demos and critiques and they were really helpful!

These are great! I love the personality you've injected to these characters. Nice job!!

Goat. Working on making specific line choices while still trying to keep things loose.
