I prefer harsh and direct critique, please don't hold back.
Level 1 hierarchy method and light and shadow method.
My own observation is that maybe I'm not pushing the difference between the thickest and thinnest lines in the hierarchy method to a large degree and the light and shadow method is also showing some of that to a lesser extent.
I struggled with figuring out exactly what to do with the darkest areas (ear and fold by front leg) with the light and shadow method. I tried to give the same treatment I did with the fold to the ear and it looked very strange, so I dialed it back even though there isn't much of any light there.
I felt unsure about how to handle the light and shadow method and was a bit frustrated. I think I rushed it at the end because I wasn't really sure if I was meeting the brief.

Hi. In the first you say you use hierarchy but all lines, especially outlines seem more or less the same. Have a good look around and at the critique video. The second one gives a lot of importance to the one fold and the bottom lip and the inner ear because the contrast is real big there. thick line. When you make thick or heavy lines around the eyes or the horn outline or the horn shadow line, you move away from literally using the reference. Dare to be more free. The proportions from the reference, but what is important or shaded can be imaginary.

Thank you for tagging me. I like the design change on his left arm and I think the treatment of the metal is greatly improved. Well done!

After watching the critiques, I realize that I did the previous 6 exercises incorrectly. Should I go back and do them over or move on?
I think it will be a great learning experience to go back and do them over, so that we can improve.
I have also realised that I’ve done the previous 6 exercises incorrectly because I didn’t really draw “the function” of the joints. I’m going back to do them again so that I can correct my mistake and start off on a better foot (no pun intended ;)).

Tried my own take on this one. The fingers are a bit strange. Not sure if cylinders are enough.

I was just watching the critique video and saw that we weren't supposed to be drawing the finished product Marshall did but rather creating our own. In hindsight this makes sense, however, I saw that the the majority of homework posted on the feed was people copying Marshall's work and followed suit. I'll do my own rendition from here on out.

I'm still unsure what I'm supposed to be doing on these. Do I draw the reference from the start or do I copy whatever Marshall does based on his observation? Looks like half the students are doing each.

Tried using some different angles from the video. I'm not sure how successful the XYZ one was, but I feel that the XY was pretty accurate.
Am I supposed to copy Marshall's or try to find the landmarks myself? I've been trying to not copy his and go with what I see in the forms, but I see most people replicating his.
I've done a ton of still life drawings and am fine if it's an observation exercise, but I just want to make sure I'm learning what was intended here.
I used the skeleton foot shown during the video as the reference
