Project - Cross Contour on Ginger Root People

The root on the left was from photo reference with a high angle where the model's head and chest were coming towards the camera, but I think the posing of the two characters breaks that illusion since the right side character doesn't have similar foreshortening. Either way, lessons learned and it was a great opportunity to revisit appealing shapes. Edit: I added a followup I did after watching the critique.

Here is my follow-along and some Ginger-people characters!

This was a fun project!

My Attempt at this

Took some time on these, also did some other drawing stuff/self study and since I am almost caught up with the entire course I decided to take my time for this one! I did really like it and this one especially felt like I had alot of creative freedom, however I might be pushing the bounderies of what a ginger root person is with some of these, but I had fun nonetheless! Regarding the ''shading'' I just did it very randomely, just to give them a little more depth. I also drew them individually, so they might look a little weird posed together like that, i like them individually better, but that'd be 4 files to upload, so I just quickly set them up like this! If there is anything wrong with the contours letting me know is again greatly appreciated! I will be doing the rest of the assignments a little quicker than the time I used for this one, since I took a lot of time trying to figure out the designs haha

finnally back with time for the course. my take on the assignment. On the last one i got a bit lazy with the perspetive need to start the lineart with a good idea where the vanishing point is.

I really enjoyed the task! Thinking in three-dimensional space is quite confusing, but with practice it gets easier and easier. I’ll definitely revisit this task in the future. Here are my latest Ginger Root People. The figure in the bottom left is really more like a rabbit on steroids… let’s call him Steve. So, here are three Ginger Root People and Steve.

This assignment probably made me draw more humanoid figures than the past few months...The cross contours really do make them seem more 3D, but I think in my case I wonder if my ginger root people were too much like...people. I found myself drawing the blobs in the shapes close to the anatomical forms they represent. Perhaps it might be better if I had more variety of shapes? I would really appreciate any feedback/critique for this project as the figures seem alright to me, but I'm not sure if I tackled this project correctly.

This is a really fun assignment.

Had a lot of fun drawing these and I'm pretty proud of the result. Probably still a lot of problems and places to improve but I'm still happy with what I got.

Catching up on assignments. I think my line quality is finally getting better too. I did the rest of the assignments in the course, but didn't post them in the main threads because I get anxious posting anything. I'm trying to push myself outside my comfort zone. Critique welcome.

Hello everyone! Long time no speak. I took a break due to mental health issues, but I’m doing better now. I left off here with the ginger root people. Assignment. The second picture is my own attempt at the people and I think I did alright, I know though I can improved. The wrapping lines are confusing me. Give me some tips and points! Have a great rest of your day!

Hi ! Maybe they are not really "ginger", but they are "blobby" and funny with cross contours haha ✌️ Really great project, it is my favorite for now ! ✌️

Here is my submission. Critique is much appreciated.

Guess I move away from the assignment on this ones, but kinda like it :3 so I'll be sharing here anyway :P

Guess I made the mistake of being more static poses... I was focusing more on trying to design feminine and masculine while trying to keep looking "gingerly" I guess. xD the female hands one are kinda wanky, tried to keep It more knob like, and turn out looking weird :c

Ginger Root People - fun!

Level one. Scene from imagination. This was a lot of fun!

Ginger people are quite fun.
