Took my time drawing and used a whole page as you suggested. Still getting the hang of drawing heads though and wrapping additional forms. I was also more mindful of not altering my silhouettes. But as always, your feedback is appreciated!

This is looking much better! I can see you employing all the points I raised. I have just one minor suggestion for you to keep in mind - when drawing hooves/feet, the corners of the silhouettes of those forms are important. Right now you're drawing them with a lot of rounded, smooth curves. Corners in a silhouette help imply distinguished, separated faces/planes, which in turn helps make that form feel more three dimensional. Conversely, sticking with a smooth curve all the way through tends to make it feel more like a flat shape. When looking at your reference image, try to identify where you would separate the front from the side and the top, and draw your form's silhouette accordingly.

Anyway, good work all around. I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.

Next Steps:

Feel free to move onto the 250 cylinder challenge, which is a prerequisite for lesson 6.

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Awesome! It took longer than I thought it would but completing this lesson was well worth it. Hooves are definitely giving me a bit of a harder time but your explanation is clearing it up. Thanks again :)

Orconomics by J. Zachary Pike

Orconomics by J. Zachary Pike

This is one of my favourite books. It's a fantasy-comedy romp, and the world that J. Zachary Pike has created honestly takes my breath away. There are laughs at every turn, but the story is not without its heart wrenching moments - some for which I have yet to fully forgive the author.

If you're at all curious about the kinds of nonsense I read, or just need something new to sink your teeth into, this is one I can highly recommend. On top of that, being self-published by an indie author, it's the kind of thing where your individual support can go a long way.

P.S: The audiobook, with narration from Doug Tisdale, is especially good, and elevates the story in ways I can't rightly describe.
