Here are my NOTAN Master studies. I tried to stay with 2 values plus the “white” of the page but by Rembrandt, I was going into 3 values plus “white.”

This is level 1. I drew on Borden & Riley #280 paper, which has some texture (“tooth”.) The first row is graphite, #s 2H, 2B, and 4B. I love graphite pencils, colored pencils, and ballpoint pen. The second and third rows are ballpoint pen, which is unforgiving on this paper but I tried anyway. Line didn’t work well at all so I tried scrumbling (is that a word?) Still, the lighter values are really difficult with this combination so I used a Staedtler Mars plastic eraser with the dirty bits shaved off to remove some ink in the 3rd, 5th, and 6th values in the third row

Visual memory games, level 2 figures jpgs. 3 & 4. I find I’m not always paying enough attention to the gesture for game 1, so I frequently get a pose that’s different from the reference. I tried to show some progress for game 2, jpg 3.

Per Prof. P's last critique, I completely punked out on Level 2 of the visual memory exercise. Why? Because I can't keep the figure in my head for more than a nanosecond. Because the exercise is effing hard. Because it takes me an hour to do all three parts of the exercise with one figure. Because if I make a real decision about how to do part 3 instead of just scribbling, it takes even longer and that makes me mad. Are there any good excuses here? Well, no. Since I keep telling people I want to illustrate, this was probably one of the more important exercises for me to take seriously. So, I'm doing it again and will post the images on this lesson. I don't expect any critique, it's just for me. Thanks for pointing out my laziness, Prof. Prokopenko.

Visual memory games, level 2, from my Yoni pack. Gosh, this was hard.

The rest of visual memory games level 1. I think I did all three exercises in most cases.
