Description This is a compilation of some sketches that I spent way more time on than I'll admit.

Drawing isn't something that has come easy for me psychologically-- I tend to overcorrect or underwork. Anyway, here's what I've got.

The animals are from Worldvision catalog, which donates animals to people in needy countires. Some of the people are from my churches (I go to two churches... one in the morning, one in the evening and on wednesdays).

And yes, the shoe is back. I tend to go to previous drawing pages and fill up all remaining space with new doodles. So the shoe was overlapping the cow's ear and I had to include it (even though the ear isn't noticeable, really).

I don't know if I'd tell you what need's fixing, as these are sketches.

But I would strongly encourage you to use the basic shapes in the future. It's what brought my drawing up a noch.

Hayl...Mrs. P tried to teach you basic shapes, man. What happened? Were you sleepin'? Everything is made up of your basic stuff: sphere, cone, cylinder, pyramid etc.

Dude. How many years ago was that?

Basic shapes. Got it.

BTW... it's "tolerant."

Do you use basic shapes first or do you just dive in with the sketching?

umm... is this a sign of something bad?

I generally dive in. I'm not much for basic shapes. I usually draw a very general sketch and then refine it... or I SHOULD do that. Sometimes I get too caught up in the details and end up with a stiff drawing.

A lot of the animals I drew upside down. It really helps keep me from drawing what, as Mrs. Pinkerton says, I THINK I see. I just turn my notepad and the reference pic upside down and draw what I see.

Can you please specify what needs fixing on the individual drawings, so I can improve in the future?

I'll work on basic shapes, but I really don't like to use them...
