I like how these are turning out, but they're taking 10-15 minutes. The lesson mentions 5 minutes, and I feel like 10 minutes should be the max time I spend on one. I guess I'm making too many lines? Any tips on speeding up would be great! These are some more complex poses though

Great lesson. I have a question. In the next to last arm rhythm, I tried it out before watching Stan do it and created this. I tried to convey the locked out arm with a slight curve opposite of how the arm should bend. I know there's no specific correct way to do this but is mine a good gestural representation? As it is somewhat different from Stan's.

Question here. So when eyeballing the proportions, would it be appropriate to start with something like the Loomis Method of drawing the head? I suppose it would be Drawer's preference, but I'm wondering if there's any specific reason to use it or not.

I don't have a printer so I measured proportions by holding my arm straight out. I'm not sure if I captured the likeness of the guy very well but I do like how the portrait turned out.

I chose Jim Lee, Ivan Reis, and Bruce Timm. It's interesting to see how different the lines are from each artist. I'm surprised these turned out as well as they did. Looking back I think I could've made Batman's brow lines and bottom of the eye thicker. I also should've taken back more of the line that makes up the end of his nose. I think the absence of that line conveys the roundness of his cowl?

Started a Spider-Man 2099 sketch and figured I'd get some line weight practice in with it. Had fun with this one. Tried doing a combo of hierarchy and light/shadow.

This is an attempt at a looser sketch. I realized the hindquarters were pretty disproportionate when I was basically done so I went back and "fixed" it. I need to get better at not drawing dark lines pre-maturely to avoid erasing

In the first attempt I was trying too hard to copy the photo precisely. Second attempt I went with the flow and stuck with lines I could draw confidently and it came out with way more character! Almost looks like the Terminator

Hmm not sure if I'm really practicing correctly. In an effort to have strong, accurate lines I was erasing a lot. May have done too much observation and not enough interpretation into CSI

Had no fruit so I chose a bag. All the tiny contours made it much harder than I thought it would be!
