Level 1 demos are done and it's time to move on to level 2! In this lesson, I show you how I would approach the level 2 CSI project.

Initially I forgot that it was a CSI project and drew it completely, this is what I did afterwords. Feedback appreciated.

A constant battle to redirect my mind to representing the composition with simple line construct (CSI) and get an easily digestible representation of what is actually a complex reference image.

Decided to try the Level 2 Skull. Not sure my CSI's are great. Lines are a bit wobbly. Proportions are off as well.

Lines could be cleaner but overall pretty happy with how this first attempt turned out

I gave it a shot. Level 2 is more difficult but I wanted to try it. Lesson #1 and #2 for draw a box are helping with the ghosting and line confidence but there still a lot of work I gotta do. Enjoying the CSI drawings though.

Here is my skull drawing. I found the skull more challenging than the camel. Also, now that I’m looking at it, I realized I could’ve simplified this a lot more.

In executing (!) this poor camel, I missed out on the proportions, and concentrated on the curves and lines. I am not a level 2 but attempted it nonetheless.

Good work! Go for it! You want the assignment to be slightly difficult. That’s were you’re learning the most!

Here is my camel after watching the demo. I felt more confident about my lines and found myself using my whole arm instead of just my wrist this time. I can honestly say I enjoyed working on this one and I’m open to any constructive feedback!

ok so I need to seriously work on simplification (no teeth, hair etc)and line work (wasn’t sharp enough) and following instructions ! but was happy that I somehow managed some of the foreshortening… and you can tell it’s a camel! Any other feedback greatly appreciated

It looks like you’re off to a great start! This is a well proportioned drawing and the perspective looks nice.
Remember that ‘every line is a thought’. Slow down and draw long, simple lines for this assignment. It will help you as you get into more advanced stuff later.
Drawing with simple C,S, and I lines will become more intuitive with practice.
Keep it up! I like your green camel!

lines are getting easier but perspective and proportion is hard :(

This is perfect for this assignment! Perspective and proportions will come later.
Nice work!

before watching video, proportions are not that far away, though the line quality is sth i cannot get over comparing to stan

Here are my before and afters. Still gotta work on not drawing with just the fingers for the smaller lines and I did get impatient for the afters so the proportions are off, but eh, it's what it's.
