The multiple studies of the legs and the little boy is a great idea. I'm guessing the gal in the center of the page is after Loomis. You've really captured his subtle tonal shifts. The slim and big fellas from behind says so much with so little. I've never seen shadows handled like that. And the guy with the hammer makes me smile. Thanks for posting.

Hi @cchapman3 I think marking the post with "help request" should be easier to note by professional artists. You have done a very good job. I would only mark Sartorius and Pelvis a little bit differently. Tried to design the model pose and marked torso on the original photo as I see it. Perhaps it would help a bit? I am sure you are way ahead with your studies compared with what i was doing in the past. Keep drawing!

The first day I found myself going down the rabbit hole of 'measuring.' The next day I realized I had no idea where the eye line was — or the vanishing points. The third day I just couldn't face it. The fourth day I forgot which sketchbook it was in. Today I figured I'd just better finish it! Thanks for your patience.

Dave Malan was the second master I studied. I was drawn to his style by the deep contrast and the way he uses contour lines to create dynamic shapes. I wish I spent more time on my lay in (seeing them side by side is very eye opening 😂) but I also want to do a few of these studies so I’m trying to limit how long I spend. I might watch the demos and critique before attempting a couple more.

oh shit i just forgot to put volume in between eye and noseeeee,,, i want to dieeee fooookkkkk,,,,,,,i did put black and white filter to get more details, this was frustrating as hell is shoes is level 1 kill me, maybe because i have made skull many times but for sure shoes was not level one.....

240502 Continue study. Kind of mannequinization. Peper, pencil, kneaded eraser. What I have noticed is that the model neck is elongated and her hands are drawn a bit too much away from her face, but I will leave it as it is for now..

Would appreciate it if anyone can help with some critique on my practice~ thanks a lot!

I did a study of a sketch by Normand Rockwell. The thing that drew me to this piece were all of his lost lines, the way they convey the looseness of the hair or the contrast of a brightly lit object. Had tons of fun!

Referenced a David Finch piece from one of his recent livestreams. Followed his whole process building up the piece from a simple line drawing, then adding line weight, and shadow in pencil. I wanted to experiment with his rendering style a bit so I inked and colored it in Procreate. His original post from after the livestream is included.

i really enjoyed this assignment! I am so impressed by the work that other people in this class. Inspiring! I chose Glen Keane. One drawing (the girl) I did digitally. The other two are paper.

I’ve always loved GDBee’s work, especially with how she does hair. The beads were the last thing I did after working on this for so long. Admittedly, I was so exhausted after spending forever on the hair
