I think I picked something I thought would be relatively easy, but making something still look squishy was challenging! (Honestly I kept thinking I was just drawing a weird foot) Gave it a little color to translate better. Added some convex and concave to maintain that squish. Should grabbed a cat toy instead of the infamous nip naner.

Level 2 before watching solution - I struggle with confident lines while sketching so much

Here are some of my figures with landmarks. I really had a hard time to establish the proportions for the figure. Especially the relationship between ribcage and pelvis proved quite challenging for me. Als I don't really understand how to spot the great Trochantor (The Donut Shape thing). DId I miss any of the landmarks Stan mentioned in the video? Also I have the feeling that I lack line quality. Sometimes the drawings turn out messy. too much for my taste I'll attach the other drawings as comments, just so the ref is linked to the drawing

Yay! I’m glad to have finally caught up to the current project. This was a challenging assignment. I especially struggled with level 2 b. I tried to design a core shadow on the face, hands and robe but it reads more like a dark stripe than a core shadow. Any advice on how to improve that?

I’ve completed a couple here. Had a ton of fun with these!

Here’s my character based on a manta ray. I’ve never done a character sheet before but this was a lot of fun! Also a bonus sheet for an opossum I gave up on.

Probably bit off more than I could chew on this one, but felt like I learned a lot from it. Any advice or feedback would be appreciated.

This was the hardest lesson so far. Not focused on accuracy but just on creating the animal based on basic shapes.

Day 8 : bears (again). This photo of bears by Nikolai Zinoviev inspired me, and I decided to give it a go as a birthday present to myself. I'm quite satisfied with it, even though it required some unusual tasks for me (fur and complex values). I started with rough envelope to setup proportions, the. some study lines / CSI, and switched last to values. It's kinda hard to create light values when somewhat dark outlines are in place. I tried to compensate that with some light background, but the light fur of the older bear could have been perfectly white for more contrast. Anyway, I'm happy with the result, so I'm out for a reward! As always, comments are very welcome!
