My drawing on paper is " before watching the demo". In the beginning, I really enjoyed the process; the sea lions and seals were so cute and fun to draw. Unfortunately, I took a long break after watching the critique (about one month) . When I came back to this project, it felt harder to continue. I don’t see any improvement.

I tired to apply some of the advice in the criquite and I think they came out a bit more smoother, and flowly. I still really need to work on my lines.

Attempt from imagination. Any critique or feedback is welcome! In particular, I feel like my usage of creasing isn't as strong as it could be. Lmk and thank you!

I Tried drawing the seals from imagination and they didnt come out that great so i decided to retry level one and then retry level 2 but from memory still not the greatest results but its an improvement

notes during the demo I feel I am making progress any critiques would be appreciated thanks.

Tried to make some more seals, this time with a greater focus on the stretching and wrinkling.

A few I made from imagination for fun

My last set of 10 before moving on to the next lesson. 5 were from reference, 5 were from imagination. I think my shapes definitely have improved compared the the first few seals I drew. It is tough to figure out the right shape to use, but once you get it, its quite fun.

Post critique/demo attempts, I tried to be sketchier and focus less on drawing "seals." I can definitely feel how important this is and I wanna get it down, any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

I am done with this project and can draw some interesting shapes!!

The first two images are my observational sketches, while the last three are my sketches from imagination. I had a lot of fun with this assignment; I feel as though it really helped me understand proper shape design. Critiques would be appreciated.

These were fun I feel like my line quality needs to get better. Looking at some of the ones that other people posted I think helped out a lot with level 1 bout to move on to level 2 soon

I did the first three before watching the demo, and then the last three after watching the demo. I really enjoyed the exercise. One thing I'm concerned about is if I am losing the gesture with details. I can figure out the gesture line, but I don't know if my shapes look dynamic enough.

After a loooong break I finally built up the courage to come back to the course. It is still the most entertaining way of learning how to draw ;) thanks Stan and the whole team! In the first image i tried to cover as many of the reference pictures as i could on one page, and the other image shows my own creations. I try to catch up with the course and the other lessons. And thanks for any helpfull advice. cheers !

Here's the retry. I did some of them by memory.

I enjoyed practicing gestures by drawing those seals so much that I drew all 40 references. These are the last batch of practices. I need to continue to work on the line quality. But through this practice, I got a little better at drawing using the entire arm rather than just the hand.

Hi!! My goals are; 1. To draw a few different types of seals and draw them the same way a few times to get close to accurate gestural poses. 2.The ones with EX next to the gestures are exaggerated a little but still retaining a general accuracy. 3. The last 2 pages are from Imagination. Very loose and sketchy mess, trying hard to tune the brain in capturing and remembering what was there. Hard Work! This was paying attention to the critique section and trying to do it the right way. But only feedback will truly tell me otherwise Thank you all

I'm using the techniques as I'm learning them, I just have more than one course I'm taking. It's always good to brush up though.

Just came back from a vacation. Happy to see some of my stuff was featured. I've a bit of a hard time putting the folds and tension points on paper to be honest, it's really not obvious to me what I'm looking for and what I'm trying to draw. And yeah I agree the imagination seals were meant to look like numbers so I did exaggerate them a bit more than I should've.
