TORTUREE !!! (But seriously, tho, I had fun doing this, and hopefully I get to do more in the future ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ )

That was very challenging but a lot of fun!

I chose to study Jhony Caballero which is one my inspirations to pick up art! Tried to not spend too much time on getting perfect lines and went back over some to make them thick once I got the general structure. Personally I think I chose something a little higher difficulty than I should have but they turned out alright.

I used the eraser as little as possible, and my lines were not particularly clean.

I have been trying to study Loish and Glen Keane.

I chose to do a study of Eliza Ivanova's works. This was so challenging but also very educational. I admire her work, but doing a study of it made me appreciate it even more. Her lines are so precise and fluid at the same time, as a beginner it was difficult for me to capture that. I'm trying to break the habit of using too many "scratchy" nervous lines in my work, so this was a perfect exercise for that! Feedback is always welcome. :) Thank you!

 Here is my study from Eliza Ivanova. I found it quite difficult because Eliza Ivanova uses so few lines, but they're just so relevant every time. My first drawing is the one with just the lines, then I added the shadows.   Every comment is welcome!

finally finished the Lines lessons (as a non-premium member). looking forward to the next lesson hehe :) please feel free to comment if you notice something i need to work onto. thank you!

After watching the demo, I made another attempt. I really tried to focus on the different qualities of the individual lines and paid less attention to drawing the portrait. Feedback is very welcome:-)

A study of Richard Zarrins using a willow charcoal stick. I am struggling with fine lines, since my charcoal is not in pencil form I am unsure of how to sharpen it. I also don't really want to waste a lot of product. However, it is unusual and interesting to work with and I would like to continue using willow charcoal in the future, any suggestions on how can I improve at it?

Attempted a study of one of Frank Frazetta's Tarzan drawings. This was pretty difficult trying this or the first time. Think I need to experiment with more brushes in photoshop next time I try this.

This is my study of Charles Dana Gibson´s lines. It was pretty interesting to do, any advice is welcome :D

I love the music in the outro. Anyone know what it's called?

This one was really fun and I plan on doing it a lot more from artists I like, You really notice a lot when trying to imitate someone else's style, and while I definitely didn't do exceptional on either study, I learned a lot where I went wrong or rather what he chose to do instead, also different mediums as stated in the video play a big role in their styles as well. Very fun and interesting. But also, ANY more feedback would be INCREDIBLY helpful.

So once I ran across this episode I watched and physically participated in a handful more, but never really mentally left the stage of trying to collect my catalogue of masters that inspire me. i make this post hoping that a forum critique can fix this and give me some words on moving on from “master studies” and my Bridgman obsession to come back to and even repeat as a second level student this Basics drawing course. here is the small catalogue of art I’ve sketched based on where this video has taken me over a few weeks. I look forward to getting back on track but also still following this latest figure passion of mine.

Had a go qt using oleg yurkov for my line master studies, though I'm unsure if what I think I learnt from his different uses of line weights us what it was trying to convey. Welcome to any feedback.

Great demo! Had a bit of an epiphany while following along. Even though it is really discrete, Watts seem to be using harder lines on the lit side of the subject, with more cast shadows. I find this interesting, to me, it feels counterintuitive compared to the "light/shadow"-studies we did earlier in the line chapter, but I love the effect it has on the end product.

Alphonse Mucha study

I decided to tackle this after watching the demo and the critique video. I think I feel ok where I am at with it. I tried my best and I used a 2B pencil to map it out or laying it in, than used a 4B pencil to finalize the lines. I had to sharpen the 4B pencil a bit to get that crisp sharp lines. Like always, feedback is always welcomed :)

Ooooooh! This one was hard since I know nothing about anatomy but I tried. Also line weight is so hard to get right on the ipad!
