Asked for help
Here I studied Frank Frazetta and Kan Muftic. I’ll definitely have to do more. A lot of the times I caught myself just coping what I see instead of study what the artist did to get specific lines. I liked the Kan Muftic studies because it forced me to use the edge of the pencil and not hold it as the tripod method. I used Col-Erase colored pencils as a challenge.

Great work! Though I may recommend giving yourself more space on the page per study, that way you can really work through the line techniques used.
Thanks for the demo!

Beautiful work :)

You've got the right idea! Everything that needs to converge towards the vanishing point or remain parallel is correct. Just watch out for the thickness of certain items, like the windows and the faucet (you can think about the part attaching the nozzle to the wall as just another box, too). Also, it helps to use the paper's edges as a reference for parallel lines, to keep more consistent alignment. For this assignment, I recommend warming up with some line exercises, too: Warmups to Improve Line Quality. Connecting the Dots and Ghosting (practicing the motion of the line by hovering just above the paper before actually executing it) are some habits to also try with this 1 point room.

Nice! Looking very solid. Remember that the top/bottom faces will flatten as they get closer towards the horizon line -- I see you're keeping an eye out for it, but just watch out with the pancakes on the left side of the page, as they could use a bit more flattening by the HL.

504th Day of Proko and counting.
I worked on some watercolor portraits this morning, but they aren't done yet.
Here is a five minute sketch instead.

Lovely work! Always inspiring to see your dedication, Gannon!

Great start! Already tons of dimensionality to the image, as well as nice simplification of shapes. Try starting your lightest greys even lighter, so the values are more evenly spaced rather than gravitating towards the dark end of the spectrum. Focusing on this also helps develop your control of the pencil as you focus on lighter pressure when rendering.

Great lesson for a quick level up with emphasis. Next time I play with weight I’ll probably try digital to really see it pop.

Beautifully done :)

Haha, I did this while on the train yesterday and realised I should have wrote done the instructions. I did the shadow one as instructed, but the other case I think I had in mind the cartoonish contour style.
Aside from that I had more fun that I was expecting. I thought I would be a little bored doing a tracing exercise but I had fun!
I think I could have pushed the difference between my thick and thin lines more.
Cheers,
Andrew

The Light & Shadow is nicely executed! With Hierarchy, it doesn't strike me necessarily as cartoony, but I find the weight placement bringing the focus towards the horn first, which adds an interesting spin with depth to the image. As you select the Hierarchy of Importance for the image, it's less objective than the Light & Shadow version, because you as the artist can select what you find most important to the image and draw the attention of the viewer towards that. It's another tool in your toolbox :)
