Putting my pre-demo ones here - the project is a good confidence builder!
Really nice !
i feel the gesture of the girl holding the guns
have you tried using just a 6B? Drives more commitment and brings even greater flow with the ability to taper and add value). I’m just a kid at this but that is what I am experiencing.
good luck going forward!

Great start! I see a lot of long, simplified rhythms that capture the energy of the pose -- keep it up! Don't feel pressured by time when you first start out and are exploring ways to simplify. You can take some time before before placing a line to envision how it will appear on the page. That will help with controlling the lines you mark on the page, keeping them simpler and cleaner.

Here's my assignment, turned out it was more challenging than I though it would be! definitely felt more confortable after the twentieth seal... but good practice exercice... I feel like I will come back to it :) the last page is Level 2, from imagination, which could use some improvement...

Here we are. Probably leaned too far into detail but needed to express dark values like the beard.

Very quick action on this assignment. After spending (some good) hours on the last assignment , I'm eager to move into Shapes!

I am a huge admirer of Caspar David Friedrich but never seen any of his sketches.
I found them really tricky to imitate as there don't appear to be any searching lines or insights how these were constructed... I also struggle to fully understand some of the decisions about the thick lines. Especially in the hat, not sure why they need the emphasis, unless there was no specific reasoning as it was just a sketch?
Nice job.
im a newbie and I found the same challenge in reverse engineering how Rockwells drawing were constructed. So I studied other drawings of his and looked for similarities and differences.

As I studied Norman Rockwell and his pencil portraits and sketches, in order to replicate I had to get comfortable with drawing human faces. It took a lot of time (to begin) to learn faces, but couldn’t be avoided as the very early work continued to look silly. Never the less, I observed the following:
1) strong use of broad range of line value while still quite simple with often just 3 or 5 values used.
2) Very few linear lines used except on inanimate objects.
3) Very little use of contiguous lines; rather, strong use of line width variation to show surface curvature , shadow and depth
4) Simple - no extra lines. Well placed sketch lines stay.
5) Broad use of varying pencils and white overlays/highlights on lips, ears, tip of nose.
6) Every line delivers on multiple functions giving form, flow and emotion.

Some line master studies from Stefan Atanasov, Iain McCaig, and Miki Montllo (spelled it wrong in the image, whoops!).
I thought I noticed a lot just looking at some of these people's drawings, but I learned more than I expected when I actually tried to draw the studies myself. This exercise was actually really fun. After doing these three, I realize it might benefit me to branch out a bit. I'm looking forward to trying more of these!
