Having some fun going through the course a second time.

My second pass on this course. It's been 1 year and a half since the first time I rushed this, and I feel like I'm slowly forgetting everything. So let's go back to the basics. (don't mind the textured paper and white tones : it's just me having fun. Fun is important to find motivation too)

Congratulations to all the winners! This was a very difficult one to judge because there were way more amazing submissions than prizes. And if I counted correctly, there are 105 prizes... We will be adding all the digital prizes to your accounts within the next few days. For those that won prizes that require shipping, we will reach out to you.

I've participated in the challenge but not all of them. I hope that's not criteria for winning the prizes.

As instructed, did them in either 2min or 10min.

Four are 10min, the fifth one is 20min. Done with charcoal.

Done on toned, textured paper, using charcoal powder, a charcoal pencil, and white, blue and red color pencils. The first one is 25min, the two others are 15min.

Five 3min and two 10min sketches, using charcoal.

I went through the entire set of photos provided, with charcoal, 1 minute each. Gesture is always fun to do!

I did the woman with ink without any construction line, which resulted in the proportions being off. And then I realized "Hey Stan suggested to use ink, but didn't forbid to use charcoal to make a layin first", and did the second. ^^' Both done in 20min.

25min each, with charcoal, and from what I could remember from last year when I took the anatomy course. I definitely need to come back to it XD

3 sketches of 5 minutes, and one of 30 minutes. Mostly charcoal, with just a bit of blue and red color pencils for the long one.

Here are a few attempts, great practice. I noticed how rusty I was since it has been so long, need to do more!

25min, charcoal.

3 are 5 minutes, the big one is 20 minutes. And it's all done with charcoal.

Sadly, I only realized this challenge existed today. But that was no excuse not to do the Day 1 Theme. :) Made in 20min with charcoal.

A charcoal drawing in 25min.

I have to say it's awesome that we STILL get updates on this course even though the main content is done and finished since quite a while now. Thanks for the dedication.

For my first attempt I choose the mangaka Ryoko Kui, whose character designs I have been in love with for years. I did cheat a bit by first doing a fixed weight trace of the image and turning it into an exercise similar to the rhino one, but it made it much easier to focus on the linework. Even though I ahve many artist I appreciate, I never paid much attention to their linework specifically. This exercise really opened my eyes to their nuances. Excited to do similar studies for others as well.

I redrew 2 artworks from mangakas I admire, and swapped their styles. Toshio Sako and Ogure Ito are both using very different lines. One has a more sketchy quality and create its values with layers and layers of directional lines and textures, while the other tends to keep an ultra-clean linework with no distraction and very few values. It takes ages to replicate their style, so I certainly wasn't courageous enough to fully redraw the vampire lady. Yet the idea is mostly there. Also, I checked if I could imitate the line quality by doing insertions. When adding some object to a drawing, you can try to make it feel natural and coherent with the rest. I think it was a nice exercise by itself.
