Here is my homework for this lesson, http://imgur.com/a/3LB18
I drew from life, and i have to admit it is harder than from a photography. In the sense where the perspective of the object moves around if i move my head around too much, which was a really good exercise for me giving the fact that i tend to draw from observing the silhouette way too much, here i HAD to built to at least hope to get the proportions right.
for lasts i chose two objects with a lot of weird angles and corners, harder but fun.
Very nice lesson for me.
Thank you

Here it is, I tried to focus on the basic volume composing the animals. Is it done as it should?

Okay! I am on it!
I understand your point, and i am getting a feeling that it will be dramatically important when will come the time to draw from memory/imagination to understand how things are put together and that i won t be able to use my observational skills in that matter.
Thank you for the detailed critique.

Hello Uncomfortable!
Here s my submission for this lesson : http://imgur.com/a/MMHPc
For this lesson i decided to draw more poses of each species per page and focus strongly on proportions/movement, except for the birds who's shapes are so easy i decided to do some texture/detail work.
I wanted to focus on movement to loosen/reassure (as noted in previous review) my construction lines and approach the animals more in a geometrical manner, and i think it went well in that matter. To make sure i respected proportions i used the measuring with my thumb and pen trick in front of my computer, i don t know if it s a bad technique for my development but it allowed me to almost nail my proportions.
By the time i ended with the two hybrids i was suprised to see how i memorised the general shapes/poses of both species i had drawn before, i am curious to see if i will be able to draw a horse from memory in several days.
Thank you for your time!

Awesome thank you, i am glad that you felt it got better through the pages the same way i did!
For the construction line issue, i actually tilt my felt pen so much it draws a very faint construction line, and it s because of timidity indeed. ahah.I usualy get my confidence back after that construction part, but I will focus on making that more confident right of the bat too!
I plan on going with a lot more focus on movement and be more expressive with the animals lesson, so to try to loosen up my constructions stages. I think i am concerned about my drawing line making the drawings too busy.
I ll fix that issue!
Thank you again.

Hello there!
So here are my insects! http://imgur.com/a/156v3
While still focusing on volume and proportions i tried to approach textures better and stay away from nonsense hatchings.
I think it s better, but i think it s far from perfect lol.
Thanks for your time.

Ok! i shall put the 0.3 in my drawer then.
I ll have to learn to better my pressure because at 0.5 i can t get a very fine line, yet! :P

Okay i ll stick to the 0.5, can i use the 0.3 for insect's tiny hairs in the detailing process? Thanks!

wow, thank you for this detailed answer on how i should approach this problem. I agree, hatching was a mistake and i felt it right when doing it but i wanted to leave it as is and get a comment on it because i had no idea how to get around it.
I am using a pigment liner though (a 0.3 and a 0.5 from staedler and artist's Loft (cheaper)), i changed paper to Canson Marker paper, maybe that s why it doesn t look like it, but i was tired of the paper drinking the ink too much and giving me rough line edges.
I will apply the critics on texture with the next lesson, i will have plenty of texture to look at :)
Thank you.

Hello Uncomfortable!
Here is my homework on drawing plants. http://imgur.com/a/0MsDS
I definitely see why you make us do ellipses and organic forms beforehand, i think it helped me a lot.
Terrific lesson.
Now i have a question : you will see on my Rhododendron page that i had an issue as of how i should present such a flower/foliage rich geometry, how would you go about drawing such element in a general descriptive manner. How can i give a sense of its complexity and richness without drawing the whole damn thing and without using colors? :)
Thank you!!

Thank you for commenting my homework !
I ll keep all this in mind, i indeed have time to time a problem with the way i look at things, then sometimes it s all right. It seems i sometime let the pen go and stop analysing, to my detriment.
I actually have been working on the challenges a bit everyday, i am around 160 boxes and cylinders, i can t seem to just do it all in one shot, it s a dry and difficult exercice for my nervous brain!
Didn t think of approaching the shoe (and others) with a cross-sectional plane, that s a pretty cool trick! I ll most probably will need that one for cars too!
Thank you!
