These are my attempts before watching the demo, I worked from level 1 to level 2. I started with blobs inspired from torso and pelvis poses (similar to an exercise in the figure drawing course), then moved to seals and “simple” sea creatures, then to insects (and a snake). My first attempts at seals were a bit stiff and felt flat. I feel that sometimes I failed to find a balance in terms of “line density”. I tried to change the poses from the reference, but only did it marginally for the sea creatures. It feels easier to change organic shape that are more curved as I feel less bound by anatomy restrictions. For example when I tried to change some of the insects I was blocked my lack of knowledge on them. Once again, I love the exercise and I like the freedom that organic forms give. I will watch the critiques and try a few more animals. I also saw someone that did a beautiful work cross contouring a head, this is definitely something I want to try. I keep trying various medium, fine liners can be very punitive but also rewarding. Any comments or feedback welcome :)
