decided to re try and think i better captured the idea of the exercise

i had zero hopes with this one, but i feel it dident go as bad as i thought it would, but not sure what to think about the final result.

Im getting better with the sketchiness :). Feedback welcome :) thank you for the support, community!

Learning to Sketch from Observation

I am a true level one with a desire to feel like an artist someday. I am posting my 1st attempt on my own and then second attempt with demo.

I tried all 3 of the examples again after watching the demo, it helped me a lot to understand the process and better understand the subject. I've also tried to improve my line and sketch quality using some of the other lessons. I've done 3 more of my own sketches, including a picture of my gecko. I feel I've already improved a lot with my lines and mindset, and welcome any criticism to continue improving.

2nd attempt post demo. I tried not to obsess about details. I found IT quite difficult to stay intentional with my lines.

All done before the demo. After watching the demo, I may try again and try to get more of the “flow” lines down before first.

I wanted to post again here in the demo because I noticed how once I saw how Proko showed the flow of the arm and hand everything sort of guides you with placements.

My attempt before the demo, I will try again with more searching lines, any feedback is welcome

After taking notes from the demo I went back and tried to be a lot looser and more gestural in my sketches. these took significantly less time. Sketching in red seemed to help me stay in sketch mode.

I purposely left out details for ironman, wanted the rhythm reference.

I drew this while watching the demo using more gestural lines and looking at the structure and it went so much more quickly and I think I have a much better understanding now than what I did before. (more fun too)

I've done these as extra assignments after seeing Proko's demo. It was so fun to draw from art that I like. I've let myself loose and did not put pressure on the result. I feel like I definitely need these types of drawing sessions to enjoy the process

Honestly I'm struggling with ''imaginating the whole thing'' as Proko says in 37:24. I just can't tell the diference between that and just doing the outlines. And maybe I'm doing it correctly but I don't even notice -_-.

Since I already attempted the penguin, hand, and VR girl I wanted to try something new; as per Stan's advice. So, I cracked open my Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order art book and found this bird that I wanted to give a shot. I am still trying to find searching lines, but here is my attempt. I would love feedback if anyone has some!

Had lot of fun drawing these without rely on erasers. Before demo@Proko
