I studied a Rembrandt self portrait and a drawing by Egon Schiele. I tried to be patient and replicate the strokes. Pleasantly surprised.

I am a huge admirer of Caspar David Friedrich but never seen any of his sketches. I found them really tricky to imitate as there don't appear to be any searching lines or insights how these were constructed... I also struggle to fully understand some of the decisions about the thick lines. Especially in the hat, not sure why they need the emphasis, unless there was no specific reasoning as it was just a sketch?

First try on iPad and Procreate. I have pretty much no experience with drawing except what i have been learning in this course. Pretty happy with this result, and also going to try to draw this on paper soon
