Any artist whose artwork you like is fine to start with, it could be a famous artist that you would see in museums, or perhaps comic book artists, another source might be Instagram, most artists nowadays have some form of online presence and it's a great way to see new art.
For the purpose of this assignment it would be helpful to have art that shows lines, so maybe a sketch rather than for example an oil painting.
I general when i see some artwork i like i might bookmark it and make a note somewhere so i can remember the name of the artist and what i like about it. If I'm drawing something I might take a look at how somebody else solved it.
Happy drawing

I did another couple of master studies, this time I picked Moebius. I love his linework, it's very clean and I love his costume design.

I hope I’m not over posting, but I’m also very taken with Sorie Kim’s lines:

I love it, i think you captured the lines pretty good. I also chose Sorie Kim, her linework is beautiful

I took two drawings from Sorie Kim as my subject for line master studies, I took these wolf drawings because I liked the way she dealt with the fur and how the line breaks up. Her marine life drawings in particular are also fantastic. She uses brush pen which gives a lot of variation in her line weight, even the lines have texture sometimes. My studies are in pencil and I've tried to pay attention to tapering, variations in line weight and how she uses series of short strokes, cheers everyone!

I tried to draw from a wolf dog reference and see if I could apply a similar style I observed in Sorie Kim's drawings. Bonus colour version added

Too late for the video critique deadline, but that's okay. I did a level 1 trace rhino (hierarchy of importance) and a level 2 rhino (shadows and light direction) with the light source coming from the top left corner, also had some fun with a bouquet of tulips around the house.

Hey guys, I tried my hand at the level 2 assignment. My daughter wanted to get a dumbo - octopus to color it, so I settled on it. I attached a clean lineart out of habbit, but the assignment probably asked more for something in the lines of the page with the 2 designs. Hope you like it.

First time trying lvl 2 but this exercise is exactly what I wish to learn! Love the invitation to simplify and search. Excited to learn how to get the images in my head onto the paper! This feels like an excellent first step. Ready for more!

What a fun assignment! I love history and dogs. So i wanted to create a "royalty" portrait of a prussian general basset hound :). Did some studies of dogs and pike helmets. Plus some iterations of the portrait.

nice work! i like you made different iterations, the right one with the monocle is my favorite.

I was going through an artistic block, but thanks to this fun exercise I want to go back to draw, I always loved owls but I struggled to draw them so I challenged myself to do it and I really like the result even though it has some issues xD, tried to push a little bit the cartoony looking so Hope you like it, Any feedback or critique it's totally welcome. Greetings!

i love the wizard character! love the gesture in the other two drawings as well, the owl is not using his wings but it feels dynamic

I picked a Chihuahua as my character, I picked one reference where the dog is shown in profile, and one where I better view of the head. Then sketch those, and then I tried to construct the head with simpler forms and some exaggeration. For the final sketch from imagination I tried to draw a similar pose as the reference but from a different angle. I tried to exaggerate the head size and bulging eyes, and give the dog a bit more character. This was a very fun exercise

Hey guys, I don't know if it's a problem to do the assignment through a digital drawing.
I tried to do it as if it were in a traditional way, I avoided using zoom or traicing, and I used just one layer on each draw, but I need to confess that the software helped me to make some horizontal lines in the first two drawings. Sorry for that :'D

Started with the shoes, but went too much into details, so I did it again trying to simplify as much as I could and tried to minimize the number of strokes. For the snail i applied some cross-contour lines. For the level 2 drawings I focused on simplifying (no teeth, or all the bony details on the spine).
I did the pear and posted earlier and decided to do a few more fruits. The banana was extremely hard to simplify the shadow shapes because it was drawn from life and I couldn't get the right lighting. So the set up or reference photo matters a lot when doing this exercise.
4mo
The banana photo reference looks really complicated (lighting is complex and overlapping shapes) but i think you did a good drawing, i love the pomegranate and the clear decisions you made

Here are my drawings for this assignment. I did the pear reference, a pomegranate, and i drew the level 2 reference twice , the second attempt I tried to make cleaner/clearer shapes (I struggled with the area around the mouth, lots of complexity there). Pencils i used were 2H, HB, 2B

I started with the pear. A4 paper, used HB and 2B pencil, tried to keep lines straight and clarify the planes with an even tone. Cheers to anyone doing the course

I need to do more self portraits, this sketch is my favorite one I've done so far. I love what you've done, they look great.
