I had a lot of fun this lesson, and I ended up drawing a bunch of extra animals because I wasn't satisfied with some of them. Especially during the demos. I learned a lot though, and I will definitely use what I learned here with my paintings and drawings in the future!
I look forward to any critiques!
Hi URAISAMU! Glad you had fun!
Some notes to keep in mind
Your beginning drawings seem very focused on the "trying to make pretty drawings" side. I can't critique those very well because there is too much texture for me to see the underlying forms
It seems you're using some markers in your work. It is good that you're experimenting with your tools, but DAB only allows fineliners till Lesson 6.
Main Parts of the Lesson
Additional Forms: Your additional forms seem 2D. It got better towards the end, but occasionally (like in areas like the neck and limbs or small additional forms) you have some that are 2D.
I think I said it pretty good in this post just skip to the additional forms section (if you are still confused just reply and tell me): https://drawabox.com/community/submission/ZN6Z6IWG/LE3R9M12
Next Steps:
It would help if you had some progress shots or some without texture and reference photos. My main nitpicks is how much texture there is. With what I have now you go on to the cylinder challenge! :D
Hey, thank you for your comments and review. I will definitely keep that in mind and be careful about using too much texture in the future!
No Problem!
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
