I know I'm jumping into this super late, but I just wanted to toss my worksheets into the mix. Thank you @Braden-Hallett for creating these threads! It's really cool to be able to see everyone else's work. It makes it feel more like a traditional class where you can walk around and peer over your classmates' shoulders to see what they're working. Love this so much!

Thank you @Braden-Hallett for the constant encouragement and inspiration. Your work and your work ethic are incredible! I tried to sketch out one of the silhouettes from the above thumbnails, and I don't think I'm doing this right. I made the silhouette, but I had no idea how the parts would come together within the silhouette and so I am making it up as I go. It's supposed to be old, random space junk cobbled together to make a makeshift home, but I don't know how to pull that off. I think I was too ambitious, lol. This is what I have so far. I'm trying to decide whether to keep working on it or scrap it and pick a different silhouette. Any and all comments are welcome!

Here is how far I got on the fabric worksheet today. As I was looking through my other worksheets in this post, I realized that I don't have a lot of control over my lines. They're clunky and awkward. Recently I'd been admiring people's work who have beautiful, flowing lines and the stark contrast from my lines is now super noticeable to me. I can do straight(ish) lines, but graceful, curvy lines is a challenge. Are there any tips other than drawing a lot to get a handle on controlled linework?

Here is the finished last worksheet. These were tough! But paying attention to the details taught me how folds work, how to pay attention to line control, and how to focus on big shapes and measurements before drilling down into details. I'll be moving onto Creative Environment Design next. Thank you for all the comments!

Here is another worksheet for today. It feels like I take one step forward and then another step back. I'm still trying to fight myself from getting to the details too soon, but it's so tempting! I'm hoping tomorrow's worksheet on fabrics will come out a little better.

Thank you so much @thousandwrecks! I saw your post regarding procrastination, too, and I appreciated it so much. Thanks for spreading your encouragement around. It means a lot!

Here is the homework I completed today. I'm realizing that I get into smaller shapes too quickly and end up committing to measurements that are completely off. I need to force myself to keep the shapes big and loose at first and then slowly pare it down to smaller parts.

@NessIllustration That is great advice. Thank you so much! I might try that starting tomorrow. I'm thankful to you and @Heather-Boyd for the encouragements. You both are wonderful!

I only drew for about an hour today and this is what I accomplished. I'll edit this post as I progress on this worksheet instead of adding a new post each time. I'm way off on proportions in general now that I look at it. To me, it's most noticeable in the face. It makes me angry and frustrated to look at this, but I need to remember that I'm practicing because I suck and I have to go through this suck stage in order to get to the good stage. I'll need to focus/concentrate more for the next two.

I drew for another 25-ish minutes today and this is how far I got. I think for tomorrow I'm going to take @NessIllustration's advice and flip these worksheets upside down and try drawing the shapes that way.

I redrew the man upside down (left box), and I think it matches more closely to the original. I went back to right side up for the last drawing, trying to start with simple shapes and paying attention to distances. These are tough! I can feel my brain starting to give up as I'm going through these, and I consciously have to fight against it. But I'm thankful for these classes/exercises because it forces me to work on skills I've been ignoring for forever.

@miriam & @Heather-Boyd

Ahh, thank you so much! I was dreading this homework because it was taking me forever, but that makes so much more sense! Lol. Thank you so much for sharing! I will try to get basic shapes down instead of going crazy on details. Thank you again!

I've seen other people doing this and it's really helpful to see how other people are approaching the homework for each of the classes, so I'm going to try to keep myself accountable by posting completed homework every day. I'll start with this class and move onto others. I really hope I stay consistent!

Please feel free to post your homework from this class on this thread as well as I'd love to see your work as well!

Here's the first worksheet

I got really tired trying to draw the squirrel because I still don't know how much detail to leave in/out for fur. I think I spent the most time on the crow which wasn't as daunting, I don't know why. The squirrel just made my brain tired, lol.

Hopefully by the time I'm done with all the worksheets I'll have improved at least a little bit from this initial homework. Any and all comments are welcome!

@Alicja-W Hmm I think you have a really good point there. I've always been so scared of creating backgrounds/complete scenes that that's what I focused on in this piece not realizing that the focus still needs to be on the characters and the story. Thanks for that insight! I'm going to hold onto that one for future pieces!

@sarahlawrence Ah, yes. So many options I haven't explored! Thank you for the great idea!
