I stuck to mainly level 1 - this was even harder than the CSI lines, imo. I went over the 10 shapes limit a couple of times. Ref list outside of the ones given in the assignment: Unsplash: - Wolf by Milo Weiler - Cobra by Asad Ys - Owl by Sonder Quest - Leopard by Gwen Weustink Cat and Young seagull photos by me

Here is my attempt. I struggle with drawing the line where it s too simple and I'm thinkingmaybw it's only me who can see the roster/hippo. Will try more of these.

Level Two variations on the portraits. This assignment really exposed my weakness at maintaining line quality while experimenting with shapes. Was even worse before a lot of erasing and redrawing.

Hi :). Thinking in terms of shapes was hard. I found myself wanting to draw contours and add details.

This is for Level 2 assignment.

I realized how difficult it is to maintain both "accuracy" and "simplicity in shape."

This assignment was really fun but and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I think went over ten shapes though with the buffalo unfortunately.

I think I may have not simplified enough

This level one assignment is deceptively challenging but I like the problem solving aspect of trying to limit each one to only 10 major shapes. The forward views were much easier than 3/4 views where perspective causes simple shapes to distort and become hidden.

Took a break for a couple of weeks due to exams. Very happy and excited to start again and continue this. Hopefully I have not forgotten the earlier lessons. 😅

This was a challenging exercise! Happy for any critiques or suggestions for improvement! I spent a looong time on figuring out the hippo. I ended up doing studies of the animals, simplifying a bit more with each drawing. The rooster and buffalo were easier once I figured out the method. I was more happy with a sketch triangle rooster than my "final drawing", included a closeup. I’ve also included a 'Roosterpotamus' as a fun bonus!"

Had a lot of fun with this

fue un proyecto divertido, y me di cuenta de que debo explorar y pensar más sobre las formas que utilizo

I definitely need to explore and push shapes more. A really fun exercise though!

that was really fun! I would be happy for criticism 🤓

watching the streaming while doing the rooster helped me out a lot, it was actually easy and fun to desing 2 version in like 10 minutes....

Here is my first attempt at drawing these animals before watching the demonstration video. I'll describe them in the order I drew them. The buffalo was easiest because I had a photo reference - I could quickly identify and draw the basic shapes. The hippo was more challenging. I had trouble breaking its form into simple shapes, so I started by drawing some details first to help me understand which parts were most important to capture. The rooster was the most difficult of all, but eventually I found some key lines that came together to create shapes. I feel like I didn't follow the assignment perfectly with the hippo and rooster - instead of using only complete shapes, I sometimes used lines that connected different shapes together. These lines and shapes together created the final form.

really really struggled with the buffalo....tried a rounded more relaistic version, tried a boxy one and at the end i've made one with like 5 flowy lines without giving me the time to think....not sure i've found anything in here....

this is my 2 hippo 2 ways: soft and sharp. couldn't put the ref image because the browser refused and says i've reached 10 mb of space with 3 jpeg, not sure what's happening...
