hmmm not quite sure about these again. did it digitally for now. but this is a fun exercise. anyway, some advise on how to tackle line weight would be great

Looking good! Some of the light lines on the second image get a little lost, but I sorta like that. Very clean. Good work!
@yucktogram
my first attempt at this project. have been holding off because i wasn't so sure if i was getting the assignment then just decided to like be whatever with it i can get back to it later on and its just good that i tried it. decided to focus on borzois because theyre just goofy and i think they got a lot of straights and curves when you try to simplify them.

Great shapes 🙌

Nice explorations-- I especially love the poses in the last page, they have lots of personality!
@yucktogram
had a lot of trouble especially trying to stop the urge to mindlessly "over-sketch" and be a bit more meaningful with my searching lines (like pause a bit and check what's wrong or how to fix it). overall, I'm a little unsure about these, felt like i knew something was wrong but I didn't know yet how to fix it (especially with the hand!!!!) and i wasn't sure if i was actually doing what i'm supposed to be putting into theory what this project is meant to be about.

I definitely understand that urge! Drawing is fun and the act of whittling away at a piece can be its own reward sometimes. Your line quality feels pretty good in most places and you don't seem to be having too hard of a time with massive erasing and replacing areas. But don't be afraid to acknowledge where some parts aren't right, either. Looking at the penguin's outer arm, it's lower than the other. Depending on the purpose of your drawing, proportion and placement may come second to designing. The same goes for the hand here. You did GREAT job on the middle two fingers. They feel pinched and appropriately curved. Those fingers come to some sharp points, though. If you end up choosing to design shapes in this way on purpose, having the thumb and pinky be pointy while the index comes to a box tip would make them all flow a little bit more.

My first attempts. I had a hard time trying to incorporate rough measurements by using my pencil as a guide and resisting the urge to draw what I know (which i think i still failed lol) and other details. tried to make sure to keep it as simple.

Lovely!

Hi, all! Decided to give this project another whirl after watching the critique video before moving on with the course. First three images are the second, third, and fourth attempt (done digitally since I got worried that my pencil strokes have not been uniformed). Fourth image is my first attempt before I watched the critique. Some pointers would be appreciated as well. Thank you all.

Hi, all. Decided to seriously learn how to draw and finally picked this up. This is my first attempt at the pear simplification and forcing myself to think about values before I go through the free critique video for the project. Pointers would be nice and thank you
Rachel Dawn Owens
This is really nice. Especially for your first attempt! The shapes and values are thoughtful and well placed. I would maybe darken the lighter value in the cast shadow shape. But that’s all I notice. good work!
