Posting my quick sketch of a gingersaurus! Had a lot of fun doing this one, pose is out of imagination, please feel free to share your criticisms!

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. 🙏🏻😃

This is such a great assignment. You can learn a lot about 3d form from these little drawings. A touch of character design and color added to push it up another level.

The Critique was pretty helpful, and I explored more with the ginger root people. It was pretty fun playing with their shapes

The Michelin Man?! Stan, please watch the original Ghostbusters movie.

My second attempt at ginger root people. This time, I focused on making them less "human-like" and tried my best to vary the different shapes of the body parts. I think there were mixed results, some looked good but there were some that looked off. Overall this was a fun project, and aside from practicing cross-contours, this project also helped me practice a bit of character design, an aspect that I'm relatively poor at.

Stan, thank-you for the critique. What a fun project!

Hey Stan, thank you for the critiques. I'd like to ask however, could I have some input on what I may be doing wrong with my submissions? A bit more specific feedback if possible. This is a very important topic for what I want to do and when I look at what some of my more competent peers do I feel like it's just a whole other world and I'm missing like 90% of what they're able to do. Anyone is fine I just want to know how to do this well. I know it's selfish and pretentious considering how many study under this course but I really feel like this is something I need to ask.

Thank you for the critique, really appreciated!

@Stan Prokopenko To get that blurry effect I made a custom pencil brush in ToonBoom Harmony. Also, thanks for the critique

@Stan Prokopenko : Will there be a project on shape manipulation? (Bending, twisting, changing/cutting edges) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK! Best, Sniggy

Thanks Stan, I'll take pretty good. Definitely feel like I'm learning the fundamentals on this course which is great. As long as I'm learning and improving I'm happy. Looking forward to the next lesson...

thank you stan!

So close ... -_-

Great critiques as always Stan! As someone who is less skilled but punctual, I was disappointed by sorting with popularity, but it's hard to argue with the results! Excited to for the rest of the course!

Yo Stan! Thanks for the critiques. Biceps gingeroot bodybuilder looks more like he’s on the toilet?!! My wife said same 😭😭. Still some way to go with my concept execution then!! 😁 happy to hear they look 3D though. This was a great project 👍

Thanks for the critique, Stan. Yes, my silhouette was not clear on the poses that I tried from reference and the contour became too busy. I focused too much on the dynamics of the pose and lost the structure. So, many thanks to you for helping me out on these.
