Super cool episode! Can't wait for the next one! Your lighting examples were so pretty and clear! I have to go back to your lighting lesson so I can try them out. Do you have any tips on recognizing the lens size from reference pictures?
Sarah Rivera
Where did you get this asaro head? It'd be neat to have a similar or smaller one (proko skull size) for reference
Sarah Rivera
You look like you're having so much fun doing studies! I need to work on that. This video was so helpful! I struggled with the assignment but got something down after much fighting. I didn't use my own studies as references because I thought it was cheating and just tried to do everything from memory. (I have a bad memory and can't see things in my head too well so it went about as well as you'd expect) I'm going to try again tomorrow with references that excite me and see where it goes from there.
Sarah Rivera
My first attempt at drawing from the imagination. It didn't go too well. I didn't really know how to study the reference pictures and couldn't think of poses for the imaginary drawings. First image are my studies and the 2nd is from imagination. My 2nd attempt after watching the demo is going much better. Still working on refining the final drawing so I'll post that separately.

Here's my try at this exercise. I tried to be loose in my sketches but it's hard not to "correct" a line to make things look better. Not sure if I managed
Martha Muniz
Really good job! I think you captured the spirit of the assignment. With a looser sketching style, being able to correct a line is a good option to have, plus since you are starting lightly and ending with a darker, cleaner line, the drawing is still very clear.
Sarah Rivera
I needed this pep talk! I've been trying to break into more imagination drawings and I always freeze up and go back to looking for a million references. I know references are great but I want to be less reliant on them! I want to be able to draw even if reference doesn't exist (like drawing fantasy creatures or mixing reference is a believable way). Also as someone who wants to design characters I'm ready for these projects!!
Sarah Rivera
Watching the demo for these and I may have went in the wrong direction with these. I didn't want to be super analytical so I didn't use layins. Next time I'll be more careful with the proportions

NO WAY!!! I didn't think I had a shot at day 10 there were so many good entries!!! Congrats on all the winners and THANK YOU!!! I think I actually have the drawing basics course already so maybe it should go to someone else?
Sarah Rivera
I had so much fun doing this! It was nice having a daily challenge with structure that I could just barge in without thinking. I have to figure out how to do this myself so I can continue to draw.
Sarah Rivera
This one was fun!! 10 minutes each. One day I'll sketch farther than this stage but today is not that day!
Sarah Rivera
These were more or less 10 minutes. Some went under as I didn't know how else to improve upon it without going into detail. Especially the portraits! Not much to do with those. This was hard because my brain wants to draw the actual person and not just do the structure. My structure isn't pretty either so it was hard to do but I got these done and that's better than nothing!
