Those are so cool! I love the inked ones. The way you describe volumes with lines is pretty dang cool, especially on that kangaroo looking guy.

Just a quick idea here...have you considered using different shapes than rectangles and squares? I know that those shapes are just illustrative and the final ones are very different, but I think that using other shapes, like triangles for example, could help you expand your horizons a bit. Give it a thought

@IgorWoznicki i have thought about it. Good points. I wanna see if I could do it by skipping that step. It’s very hard

@Aleksey Looks like a great exercise. Along with the “Draw 100 Things”, to really push past an initial batch of ideas and explore all possibilities. I have a habit of settling on ideas earlier, when I could probably do more exploration.

[ArtofAleksey]

@drawnbyshawn i have the same issue! Which is something i need to address. I skip thumbnails usually and that’s not a good habit to have.

I feel ready for inktober

@Heather-Boyd the posing characters class by Will and Jake I found really helpful for exactly that. I did it months ago but just this week am re-doing the exercises and suddenly it's really making sense and I made a big step forward from where I was with the 3d understanding and drawing it.

@Aleksey these are really fantastic. ️

[ArtofAleksey]

@Coley thanks! I also did the posing characters class! It was fun but i think i was stuck up in my approach and found something that encouraged my laziness

[DaveLeekArt]

@Aleksey these are awesome! Looks like such a fun exercise. Baby the end of the 100 you’re going to be the master at drawing little demons!
