The bears were supposed to be pandas :). I definitely agree that the masses I've attempted to add were too "slim". I think the reason for that was because I perceived those areas as not having much mass in the first place (since all of it drips down to the belly and hips).

Maybe you could give me an example of how you would have constructed the sitting baby panda (without fur)? My issue was that i wanted to even out its back. I've updated my submission with the reference photos.

I've got a ton of critiques to do today, so I was only able to throw together a pretty quick breakdown construction here. One recommendation I do have for you though is to be a bit more careful with your choice in reference images. That black fur all blends together, making it a lot harder to discern different parts of the body. It does get easier to tell things apart as your skills improve and you learn what to look for, but earlier on it will make things needlessly more challenging.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
