Leo's Sketchbook

[leo_7]

Thanks for all the helpful information DESQUOLOR, I really appreciate it.

darktiste I actually returned my laptop back in June, and I haven't drawn anything digitally since then. I have started back drawing in my sketchbook and I thought about getting a drawing tablet a few weeks ago. But I've changed my mind again and decided to get better at drawing traditionally first before I move back to digital.

Drawing ellipses in perspective is such a pain. They never look right to me for some reason.

I drew some random things in perspective. Then I did a few of the first exercises in the how to draw book. After that, I drew some more crappy doodles which then turned into learning how to draw alligators. 

I started off drawing the basic forms, but I got frustrated when trying to draw the more complex features. I used lots of photo refs but the shape of their heads can vary a lot. I couldn't really understand how their mouths are shaped, and where exactly do their eyes sit at on their heads. 

It was fun attempting to learn this stuff, but it was a lot more harder than I thought it would be.
