Decided to do a little mini project for myself using the cross contour technique. It’s two ginger root character like kids running with a ginger dog away from a ginger ogre. took me a while to feel good about the characters. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated. 🙏🏻😃

After I was done with the 3 images I wanted to do a little more and drew Master Hand! As always feedback is appreciated.
Tommy Pinedo
Ah yes the master hand. Always hated his other half the left hand or crazy hand haha. Good job! :D

After the demo version I was really motivated to create my own little animals:-)
Tommy Pinedo
Wow I love this! I love the different colors you use for each animal. Especially the different shapes and how you bring them to life. This was hard for me when I did it, but seeing your attempt gives me a good idea :D. good job Bri!

Attempted captain skully twice. First attempt was in blue. I realized I missed the point on this one after watching the demo and critique. I think I was so lost on how to start this one that the hairy lines were an inevitability. Second attempt was in pencil, I really tried to do the lines with single, confident and clean pulls. I did use some 'hairy' searching lines in place of ghosting to figure out where I wanted to place the line and then executed it and erased the hairs lol. I think it turned out much better. Would love some feedback 😁 thanks in advance!

I like to try the project before watching the demo to see the improvements after I watch the demo and I definitly see it in yours. The angle of the skully is better :D. Good job!

Here are my attempts for this project. I felt like a character design artist trying to come up with ginger root characters. This was tons of fun and tried my best to emphasize on the cross contours and the ginger texture. any feedback is welcome! 🙏🏻

I think I played it too safe on the shape design and line importance, but I’m happy to see progress on creating some depth with overlapping and slightly more interesting shape design than I could have achieved a couple months ago!

WOW! I love the ginger horse! :D

This is a really fun assignment.
Tommy Pinedo
I love this, this definitly will help me with starting. I get this type of pressure when I see a blank page and I assume my first try as to be perfect or the first pose has to be it. Scribbling and just laying out the ideas on the paper will help me relax and see which pose I like :D
Tommy Pinedo
Here are my attempts post demo and post critique. I went back to the snail reference from the lines chapter and did the cross contour :D
@brimarie
Wow, they look great - very vivid and real!
Melanie Scearce
Nice! You did a great job simplifying and applying the cross contours.
Tommy Pinedo
Here are my level 2 attempts. This was really fun to do and hard lol. The hardest one to get cross contour was the octopus which I add my references. The octopus had many ups and downs and I tried to show that lol.
@itswaker
It's so bad bros. unconfident lines and too many searching lines. Didn't look hard enough at the parts of the hand to make sure I understood the shapes enough to draw them accurately and the arm is too chonky. I like my penguin, though.
Tommy Pinedo
These are great attempts. The linework will improve with mileage and as you continue through the course. What helped me is doing the mushrooms warm up before doing this, so my hands can start being loose and not being so tense. It will get better. trust me :)
