The author of the works: Syd Mead. 1. Diminution: 4/5. I feel that in some places, the cars could be smaller or larger. Convergence: 5/5. Perfect. Foreshortening: 4/5. It's beautifully visible in the spot where the cars are turning. Overlap: 5/5. Perfect. Atmosphere: 4/5. I would give it 5/5, but the billboard in the foreground really bothers me; it should be a bit less prominent. 2. Diminution: 3/5. I especially like this in the case of the ski lift, The people walking up the stairs could be a bit larger. Convergence: 4/5. It adds a nice sense of dynamism. Foreshortening: 4/5. It's clearly visible in the case of the car and the wall in the foreground. Overlap: 5/5. Just right Atmosphere: 4/5. In some places, it could be less detailed, especially in the background. For example, the space behind the man in the yellow jacket.

Hi, I’m sharing a few pages with an exercise. I originally knew this exercise in a version without drawing the circle. Just placing a dot and crossing straight lines. Here, it allows for more intentional and predictive work. I also have a question. What do you think about switching from a pencil to a pen to make marks more deliberately? I’m not talking about while practicing, but during actual drawing sessions. Let me know what you think!
@b1egun
Hey, I wanted to share one of the pages I regularly practice before drawing. I’ve done plenty of warm-up exercises before, but Peter Han really emphasizes some crucial points that have completely changed how I approach them. What’s your take on the idea of using pens instead of pencils? The idea is that it forces you to be more deliberate with your decisions, which could help you improve faster.

I really like using pens. The commitment and simplicity of only needing a pen and paper is wonderful. The many varieties of ink pens are so fun to explore. I probably have over 200 different ink pens from different brands with different tips. The type of paper and how it reacts to different ink is just so cool to see also.

Hey, here are my results from the last 3 weeks. This challenge has been an absolute blast. It turned into an amazing journey and a great chance to experiment. Seeing everyone’s work has been incredibly inspiring. Huge shoutout to all of you, you’re awesome!

Hi, I’m sharing my attempt and would greatly appreciate any advice on areas for improvement. From what I’ve observed, I may have oversimplified the piece—I could have paid more attention to the proportions and been more deliberate and consistent with the shading. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I’m already getting started on my next attempt.

Don’t worry about being over simplified for this project. Keep it as simple as you can. This looks great! I love how you divided up the shapes as if they were flat planes. That’s exactly what you should do for this. Here’s a quick tip and a demo I made for other students. Maybe you will find them helpful too. Good luck with your fruit drawing. Keep up the practice!

First of all, I would like to say that I love your sketches, Marshall. They are so powerful and very interesting. Secondly, I would like to say that I don’t know why, but I really enjoy improvisation. Every day, I try to practice some improvisational sketches and bring something from my imagination to life. I usually feel like I did when I was a child, drawing something. Improvisation is like jazz—it’s the hardest category of music, but it’s so much fun.

Hi, I’d like to share my results. I highly recommend using a blue-lead pencil to create a grid—it made a huge difference in keeping things organized. A T-square ruler is truly a game-changer!

very nice, thank you for the info :)

Hi, I am incredibly happy to be part of this course. I am passionate about narrative drawing, urban sketching, satirical drawing, and illustration – everything that allows me to tell stories through images. I chose these artists because their style is close to what I aspire to create myself. Although I’m not yet at their level, I am progressing step by step every day. As I mentioned, I am fascinated by drawings rich in details and intricacies. I would like to improve my ability to draw various elements from imagination and from all angles. I also want to use perspective more freely, adapting it to the specific needs of each project to better support the narrative. I'm focused on refining my technique and gaining knowledge that will allow me to critically evaluate my own work. I aim to achieve a balance between simplification and realism in my drawings. I believe that the artists I admire, especially Dongho Kim, have mastered this balance. His work is an excellent example of how doodle style can be seamlessly combined with realism. Artists: 1. Dong Ho Kim 2. Peter Han 3. Kim Jung Gi 4. Paul Heaston 5. Rembert Montald

Hi, this is my first attempt at level 2 before watching the demo. 😊 Any advice?
@b1egun
Hi, I’m uploading another attempt, this time after watching the demo. I think I need to focus more on making longer strokes and, as always, on better proportions. I’m going to work on level two now 😊 Any advice?
