9 heads done - 10 to go

this was fun - trying to add emotions to the animals or combine them with other animals.😊

another Bernie Wrigntson study - he used lines in many different ways in this drawing 1) thick dark lines to add weight - under the hands and feet. 2) thick dark lines to separate forms - the left side of the jaw (but not the right side), and the left knee in front of the left. 3) thin lighter lines to show the light on the back, and dark lines to show the shadows on the back. 4) thicker darker lines to add more tension in the muscle action like the left deltoids and left forearm muscles. 5) overall more line weight around the head to show the focal point of the drawing.

I hope I’m not over posting, but I’m also very taken with Sorie Kim’s lines:

I love the line work by Bernie Wrigntson, the way he varies between hatching that follow the form and hatching that follows the rhythm/gesture. How he uses thin lines in the light and indicate texture, and in the shadows he uses think lines/shapes in a more abstract way.

not having a printer at home, the rhinos was drawn from observationen. It took a bit of time keeping track of all the folds in the skin, it felt like drawing the shoelaces again, but got a lot of practice drawing C-curves and S-curves and straight.

playing around with the swamp monster, trying to imaging what it will do after the pose from the reference drawing

nice exercise. I like how the very different characters have the same underlying figure structure, just the proportions and details are different. Also thank you for intruding me to Bernie Wrightson, his drawings are amazing. I will try to draw the swamp monster from different angles and poses tomorrow.

meet "The Arnold Chimp", reaching for the stars but hitting rock bottom!😅🙈. I saw the hairless chimpanzee on YouTube, and thought it looked like a sad bodybuilder. Chimpanzee have so expression

I love drawing with energetic lines, great exercise. Ready for the Level 2 project
