Finally got time to do level 2 - was going for a top down view of a tree village. It was more than I could handle. Did not design it well and the tree itself gets lost in all the houses and shadows unfortunately

This is awesome! The angle/crop of your composition really helps sell his as an aerial view, it feels like we're flying in for a landing! I love the chonky organic limbs, and how you incorporated the architecture in varied ways, some are freestanding structures and other feel like entrances to the trunk of the tree, great storytelling! Nice use of big/medium/small design. Well done!!

While doing each character's exploration I stumbled on this idea of making the owl a sort of mentor figure and the Fennec fox an excited pupil. It was extremely fun!

Hello, sadly no refs, was trying to make better use of my necks but I’ll keep practicing. I wasn’t a big fan of these but where I falter most I think would be the jaw and cheek area but after a few thousand of these I may get a handle on it .

Hi, here are my master drawing line study with James Gurney and Jeff Watt. unfortunately I dont have charcoal and I am not sure about what did James Gurney used in his drawing so I just used graphite. I lost patient a bit when I was drawing so I didn't get the poportion right in the drawing of Jeff Watt. I would like to hear your feedback and thank you for your support.

Really nice job! The Gurney study is very well done, nice attention to line weight, and overall silhouette, excellent! For the Watts study, the proportions are looking a little off here and there, but you're definitely reading his calligraphy and noticing his line variation. While working on portraits especially, try to check in on your drawing throughout the process with a mirror test. Hold up your drawing in the mirror and study your progress, or take a photo and flip the image and you'll immediately start to see where your proportions need adjusting. The earlier you check in with a mirror test allows you to course correct without having to erase too much. Keep up the good work!

A few highlights from the Rockwell exhibit. Seeing the charcoal comps next to the finished pieces was amazing. Loved seeing the globs of impasto used on The Critic's palette and some of the various changes he made to illustrations in the process, such as seeing the original jawline under the chin of the third child in "No Swimming" before he decided to add some weight to the silhouette.

A few from the MAD Magazine exhibit. There was an ENTIRE room dedicated to Mort Drucker's work so the majority of my pics are from that, but overall it was an INCREDIBLE collection of illustrations. I couldn't believe the size of some of the originals, many of Drucker's pieces were about 22" x 34"!

Norman Rockwell Museum and The Art of MAD Magazine2d
I had the chance to visit the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA this week. Not only have I been dying to visit this Museum to see the main Rockwell exhibition, but they currently have a special exhibition celebrating the art and humor of MAD Magazine illustrators which included four entire galleries packed with originals from “The Usual Gang of Idiots” such as Jack Davis, Mort Drucker, Norman Mingo, Don Martin, Duck Edwing, Sam Viviano, Al Jaffee, Sergio Aragonés, and others.
There was an incredible collection of Rockwell’s work on display, in addition to the main galleries we had the opportunity to tour Rockwell’s fastidiously kept studio where he painted for the last 21 years of his career.
The MAD exhibit exceeded expectations. I was unaware that Rockwell was commissioned to paint a “definitive” portrait of Alfred E. Newman but politely declined in his own humorous way. More on that in the link.
Seeing these pieces in person was an incredible experience. I didn’t take as many photos as I now wish I had, but here are a few highlights from both exhibits as well as a link to the gallery documentary about the MAD Magazine exhibit and it's connection to Rockwell.

Boots were done first, then first snail, and then second snail (with the pencil). The second snail was done after watching Stan's demo and I realize how important it is to *simplify* first. His advice of creating a "container" really, really helped with this. Though, I'm not sure if it's better or worse than my first go :)
I did the boots without laying in rough shapes, not sure why I didn't realize to do this at the get-go.
Struggling with the lay-in, TBH. I don't have a good sense of scale and perspective just yet, and my confident strokes aren't there yet.
Overall, okay with these, though. Will do another pass before moving on to the 2 week challenge.M

Nice work! I really like your simplification of the shell in the second snail!
