One thing I observed when coming up with new shape designs is that the idea to come up with is kinda hard in its own. Designing and modifying the shapes wasn't the hard part for me, but coming up with ideas for different and interesting shapes was the challenging thing for me. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Well, there are my sketches copying what Stan does. In one of them I got carried away by my imagination...I hope you like them. I think the loose lines are becoming more and more noticeable.

After watching this video I was really shocked to see to what extent Stan has the ability to play with shapes and take them to his field. I have realized how much I still have to practice in order to advance. You can really see the years of practice Stan has in drawing. My most sincere congratulations. Until now I had not realized to what extent my creativity is blocked. My lines are coarse to variegated.

Went all in on the circle, square, triangle idea. It's alot of fun to have completely different characters out of the same idea.

Redo of project done during watching the demo any critiques are welcomed thanks.

I am very satisfied with how these came out. I tried to follow what Stan was doing but at the same token let myself be a little loose. But all criticism is welcome to help me improve. @Martha Muniz

Hi there! The animal I worked on is the snow leopard. I tried several variations and attached a picture of the leopard. I would be delighted if you could give me a critique on the shape design.

I tried changing the perspective and testing some shape changes.

I am done, today was tiring day, I will post rest2 tomorrow most probably, hope so, I want to....

It was fun trying to think of the different ways to change the shapes of each of the animals. I definitely felt that birds are one of the more easier subjects, compared to other mammals like a dog, for instance.

I think I pushed my designes to far to the simple shape I choose. I'll try again keeping it closer to the animal.

My sketches for the animal portrait exercise. It was a lot of fun.

Not the most jaw droppingly original designs here... but I did not know I could draw like this! I was able to manipulate and turn things in space without additional references... this is the best! What a great lesson this one has been. Thank you! 🥳

18… I think I’ll move on.

Animal Portraits 17… man I feel like I’m not getting better at all lol.

A few fantasy creatures me and my friends designed as a kid!

Level 2 buffaloes

Level 2 hippos

Level 2 chickens

Second attempt. Actually very few good designs… sigh.
