After watching the critiques I figured I’d better try again and not be so precious with drawing. It’s very hard not to. I wanted the weasel on the right to emphasize how long and tube-y they are with those funny round haunches, top middle to show some personality, but I think the bottom left is my favorite.

In my first attempt I skipped the studies, so I tried again after watching the demo and critiques. I have studies on one page, and exploration on the other, but I haven't picked one for step three; hopefully I'll add a final drawing too. I'm a bit lost with how their feet work, if anyone could help with that I'd appriceate it.

The first photo is sketch from observation, the second one the first is from observation and the kung fu one is from imagination as well as the two last chicken drawings.

Here is my attempt for learning how to draw from imagination project. I chose an otter for this project and I need feedback on my attempt. I feel like Im still in the perfection mindset even in sketching. I am trying my best to be loose when I am attempting to draw the otter from memory which is the image on the far right. Stan mentioned a lot in the critique video of being loose and exploring and I hope I show that in the image far right. I will upload my final attempt on the otter soon! :)

Hey! Here is my 2nd attempted at this assignment (technicality 2nd and 3rd) I am have a hard time grasping the "messy" line part of this project. I draw through, look for rhythms and shapes, etc. but i have a strong habit of drawing "clean lines" if I see a mistake (line not where they are supposed to go or got a shape wrong, a proportion error i noticed) I will go in and correct it. Maybe I am misunderstanding and my sketches are what the assignment is looking for or maybe I am not getting something. the first two rabbit pages are studying refs, the 3rd it exploring and the last rabbit is my final. the two jackal pages are self explanatory. In this assignment I tried my hardest to be messy/exploratory and not concerned with rightness so I included a "sketch" i did while having fun with level 1 to show what my usual sketches look like

Tried on a Pangolin after watching the demo and critique. Looked for the main feature and the idea it was giving. I think I'm happy with the results. Would appreciate any help or advice given. Edit: spelling

Tried to make Indiana Jones but I thought he was too much of a scared animal so made beni gabor

👋🙂 Watched the critiques, refined the approach🙌.

I did another sketch from imagination exercise after watching the critique and realizing some of the mistakes I made in the initial practice! Fun exercise! Larger creature on final page is the final sketch

This is probably my favourite imagination drawing so far. I had fun playing around with this cowboy snake concept.

This was the hardest exercise for me so far. Actually, it's the reason why I bought this course. I always drew from observation, but when I tried to draw from imagination, I felt paralyzed. I just couldn't do it and didn't know what to do. After watching the demo and critique, I finally understood that I just had the wrong approach. It's still difficult, but I feel like I'm on the right path. Proko's words that drawing from imagination is actually drawing from memory really helped me.

3rd try of drawing from imagination. Decided to do a scorpion, which has more structure and easier to tackle than something like a koala, which is more difficult, in my opinion. I kept in mind the advice of staying loose and exploring the different shapes, and hopefully the results show that. I'm quite happy about how the final scorpion turned out. I'd probably would've never came up with a round body like that if I didn't let my mind wander and explore the possibilities. It was a fun and challenging exercise!

Some exploration of the peacock!

After Criqutue

Here is my second attempt at the level 2 assignment

Here is my first attempt at the level 2 assighnment

Here what did and what I can improve of what could have drawing Rabbit. How do fine shape of the body and the head of the rabbit?

I made two attempts with this assignment. First, I tried to create my own owl character, then I tried a rooster. I think I did a good job on keeping loose during the exploration phase, but I did go back and put a final graphite linework on the owl design. Feedback would be appreciated.

Got a little unhinged
