My attempt at emotion through shapes, by drawing mages

i tried to make sure to use a mix of straight and curved lines.

I feel like I have so many thoughts in my head that getting them on paper turns out messier than expected. I hope my attempt shows through all my measuring by eye.

My attempt to find the flow and stick to basic shapes.

After watching the critique, I figured I needed to simplify even more.

I went too far with my shapes I think, not as simple as the homework assignment asked for, but I had so much fun with these!

Glen Keane is one of my favorite animators. His lines are messy but so expressive. This a still from Duet. Since the background is dark I had to do the line art inverted, with the thickest and lightest parts being the brightest. My lines are shaky and not very confident unfortunately. My sketch always looks so nice, then my lineart looks awful. 😞

my goal was to make the yolk the focus.

It feels like I missed something on the Shadows and Light method, it seems off to me.
