I did this the other day and tried to get a critique of yhe process from my drawing one professor, guess which one he liked more.

>>2381564
This is so freaky, I wanted to make this exact thread like a few weeks ago. I was going to post a random animal generator link. I tried it but I kind of fucked myself on the one I did at first so I might try again later. Here's the generator I used though. https://www.randomlists.com/random-animals
You have to change it to show 1 animal and cover up the picture area so you can just read the name without seeing the reference.

>>2381875
yes you did, try again

Always use reference. That is the lesson.
Seriously iamlaffin at that first attempt what the shit.

>>2382359

blog?

>>2382359
This exercise is actually pretty good for strengthening memory and observation skills.

>>2382399
Yeah it's a great exercise, I'm going to do some more of them. I've been meaning to draw more animals in general and I see now that I seeeeriously need to.

I tried...practice doesn't hurt though.

The most fascinating part of this thread to me is that no matter what skill level, the reference always made a difference.

No, obviously. It somewhat surprised me I couldn't recognize those. But then again newts rarely come up when discussing feminine dicks and whatnot on this Cantonese cartoon forum.

No idea what I was going for with the background.

>>2384787
oh ok, no those are perfectly understandable to not have heard of then.
I sure as shit don't know the Russian word for ermine

it's a good exercise in that it teaches people to fucking use reference

>>2384305
I'm sorry but the first one looks like it was hit in the face with a brick.

>>2384265
Grab your pencil, sharpen it, shove it up your ass, and keep fucking yourself until it turns into a colored pencil.

So I don't fuck up the next time, how do I make it so that my picture doesn't get flipped? I rotated it before posting aswell.

it looks like you could draw an encyclopedia of animals n shit

>>2384659
did you specifically choose doberman or just 'dog'?

cos I went for dog and the first thing my hand started drawing was a doberman
