I like the facial expression you chose out of your sketches. I think it matches the theme of your coquettish squirrel the best!

Wow, these have so much personality! Beautiful renderings. I love the line weight you've chosen, but if I were to be picky, maybe the drawings could have more diversity of line weights. Specifically on the characters with clothing. I think you could tune down some of the bolder strokes on the clothes and choose to go bold only on the areas where you want to bring the viewer's attention OR in moments where there is one form overlapping another to give us a sense of depth. But I love your creativity with these! solid understanding of the forms and proportion. There's an amazing book by Patrick J Jones called Drawing from Photos that helped me understand how to correct for camera-altered proportions. In the Rastafarian mouse photo, the lens is clearly foreshortening the mouse too much, I found that if I can correct those proportional things, I can have a better drawing. For that one specifically, the far leg and the lower body should not taper quite so much as the photos suggest. The lens that was used created a stronger taper since it was likely shot on a wide angle while very close to the subject.

What kind of drawing were you aiming at ? realism or more goofy ?

These are really fun drawings and I love your reference. You did great simplifying the strange little critter. You could probably even take the simplification a step further on the the head. I love how you drew the bony hands. I love the pose that you went for. He still looks like a primate although his ears may have gotten a bit to big and his arms too skinny. I went over your work with my own drawings. Mostly because I also wanted to draw a Tarsier. Hope this helps. Thanks for sharing and keep going!

These are well done! What do you need help for ?

They are awesome!

Okay wow!? This looks great, your drawing from imagination is truly incredible! Keep going!

Great stuff! I love the shape that you used for the head and tail in your final drawings. These geckos have a lot of personality.

I see you paying a lot of attention to detail here -- which is very good for a finished drawing, but can get in the way of exploring shapes and ideas quickly and efficiently when you're starting out sketching. The tertiary details such as the scales, and bumps -- think superficial details -- can wait until after the more important shapes are defined. Focus on the primary forms first. These are shapes that can be made with cubes, spheres, and cylinders. Keeping things as simple as possible in the beginning, you are free to experiment as many times as you like without feeling invested in any one idea. Your first idea will not typically be your best one, so your goal starting out should be to get a bunch of sketches on the page. After you've explored and experimented, you can pick a design or combine elements from multiple successful designs to flesh out more by incorporating anatomy, refining the simple shapes you created. You have a really interesting idea with the fish jumping into the gators mouth! I'd love to see a few more sketches with simple shapes. See how you can explore that idea further.

Took another go at this one to try to push it a little more.

These pigeon drawings rock! The big, simple, squishy body with the little details around the beak and eyes and feet is a perfect way to tackle this project. If you wanted to give your pigeon more perspective, you might adjust the angles to look a little more like this. Note the horizon line. If it is low, the pigeon will look bigger. Like youre looking up at him. It’s a funny way to view a pigeon. I hope this is helpful. Keep it up!
