After weeks of struggling I think I'm finally getting it, although it still takes me 4-5 minutes for each pose. Bridgman and Michael Hampton's books were a big help! Also, finally understood the overhand grip and how much of a difference it can make! Thanks a lot Stan! Your courses are amazing!

My submission After leaning 3 point perspective using two point feels wrong even though it looks like a 2 point. Also, i curved some of the lines to add some rhythm to the figure. Please share your critiques. It is sometimes difficult to imagine the position of the pelvis when the figure in a seated pose with the pelvis hidden behind the legs. Any tips?

Level 1 submission, working on level 2. Hope i get that done before the deadline. This was a tough one. Perspectives are fun but too many lines going through make it very confusing and messy. Had to erase some of the lines to keep it clean, still i can see a lot of smudged lines sadly.

Level 2 project. I wanted to add extra drama to the hand, so i chose a somewhat extreme angle for the first one. Need critiques!

Level 1 project I assumed the joints to be a separate flexible part from the boxes. The thumbs were rather confusing, had to redraw several times, not sure if I still got it right or not. Any critique is much appreciated. Thanks!

This assignment was quite challenging! I was very confused in judging the plane changes and the angle of the head. I have no experience with perspective so had a hard time understanding the execution part of it. I had to alter the box several times to match the proportion of the portrait. For the number 4, I could see the bottom plane of the nose so i figured we were seeing the portrait from below, but the top curve of the head made me question this! Also, are the ears part of the box or not? i tried to keep it as clean as possible but i guess my initial lines were too dark in some cases. Please help! Any kind of feedback is highly appreciated.

These are after watching the demo, the first one is from reference and the second from imagination. I struggled a bit with the imagination part. If anyone has any tips, please do share! Any feedback is much appreciated.

I tried to focus more on the proportions of the face and not get distracted by the clothes. The right eye to me seems a bit off, the no eyebrows confused me a lot. Another major problem I always face is the placement on the page, I start with the right placement and end up somewhere else as I tend to alter the proportions quite a lot. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Master studies are something that I've thought about multiple times but have never had the courage to execute. I usually give up before even starting. I procrastinate it for days and then i begin to think why am I wasting so much time on this. So, i end up switching to another reference. How do you get over the initial fear of starting a sketch? With a reference as complicated as this one, it gets very daunting. My mind says, how can 'I' approach something which is this masterfully executed with the extremely limited skill set i have. I just don't understand where to begin. Even if i think about simplifying, there are too many things to be thinking about. Like with this one, i would have been confused with either to put down a circle for the cranium or simplify the contour using straight lines like Stan did. I understand that there could be multiple ways of approaching it but there's constantly a fear if what I'm doing is correct or not or why am i even trying to attempt something that is wayy out of my league. I'm sure i can't be the only one. Can someone help?

Study of David Malan's Artwork I can see the proportions are off, it usually is the case with me. Also, poor space planning. It was somewhat intimidating to start, I've never done a master study before this, but i enjoyed it a lot. I tried making confident lines, but i think i focus a lot on copying the lines instead of focusing on the technique and the essence. Critiques please.

This is the first time I’ve drawn from observation I’ve always used images. I think I performed poorly i have no idea how perspectives work I can somewhat figure it out through images, but i was committed to not use any pictures. And I couldn’t figure out how to match the angle of the camera with that of my vision so the perspectives don’t match in the two.

Did these on the basis of light and shadow, one with the same light source as the reference and another with a different light direction. Changing the light was very much of a challenge not sure if i did it correctly. Need critiques!

Did the importance method, the proportions are off, slipped my mind that we were supposed trace the image 🥲 Need some critiques on this one

This is my attempt after the demo. It really helped a lot, focused on gestures and simplifying. Did not want to repeat it, so switched to another reference.

I don’t I'm any good at this. I haven’t watched the demo so not really sure if i even understood the assignment.

This is before watching the demo. Need critiques, i have no-idea what to look for

Attempted all four images before watching the demo. Tried to improve the line quality in the level 2 project. I'm open to critiques

Attempted both level 1 and 2, had a hard time simplifying in the level 2 portrait. Could have simplified a lot more.
