Floating shapes would be an interesting topic once we get to shapes. Cuz I use them - and sometimes I get em to work - and sometimes it is just too confusing.

I did some Moebius studies. I tried to apply his style to a similiar but different subject to not fall into the habit of just coping lines. This is really hard - but I want to try to more of these in the future.

I have a hard time choosing one artist - since there are so many I admire. And I also get intimidated by putting my silly attempts next to the brilliant works of masters.

My assignments, i thought it was fun to try and sketch out the rhino first before tracing. Worked digitally this time :)

Level 1: Hierarchy, Light & Shadow from Photo Reference Level 2: Light & Shadow from free angle, free subject with depth approach. I tried to apply the different approaches it on a little "Proko Comic". I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for this video and the very clear explanations. I think I understand all the individual rules for line weights, but I struggle when I try to combine different sets of rules when drawing. For example: a cube sitting on the ground. Everything thick for the outlines: okay - but then it fights an ambient occlusion approach, that would tell me to make a thin or no line at all at the edge "touching" the ground. I tried to reverse engineer the rules of how other artists solve this, but I never got any universal solution out of it. Any ideas?

Skelly!

Thank you Stan. The term "negative space" - might be good to explain it for the course students that don't already know what it means.

This is what I like about drawing digitally. I can make my "tought vomiting lines" (love that term) or make some rough layout lines with a broad brush and than put that in the back with low opacity (like putting a piece of paper over it on a lighttable) and go over it with cleaner, now more confident lines. Does that make sense?

I think crocodiles / alligators are fun. They appear rough on the outside but I love to think they have a surprisingly gentle soul. I attached reference images, some study sketches and one "final" drawing.

Tried the assignment and like my last assignment my issue is the proportions. Other than that, I had fun doing this assignment.

I did the assignment ... tried to be loose, sketchy ... and have fun. But what on Earth does this robot girl have in her hand and what is she going to do with it to that sussy looking gong?

I keep passing this beauty on my walks. It reminds me that I wanted to be an excavator operator as a kid - so I took some images and drew it.

My sketches for the simplification assignment. I did not draw all of Skellys ribs ... cuz ain't nobody got time for that. ^^

Ouch.

Damn! This is hard. Dave345

I struggled, especially with the portrait.
