Following along with Stan’s process

This is my second attempt at studying Tite Kubo's art after watching this master study.

My study on Jeff Watts

I know it’s about line weight but I hate how off one side of the skull is. Should’ve been tighter.

I only have graphite. It's quite hard to do these master studies. I thoroughly enjoy them though. I can definitely see the shapes and proportions that are off. Please feel free to offer suggestions or critique. Thank you.

I enjoyed doing a master study of Eliza Ivanova which I posted in the previous lesson/project. Got inspired to do a study of Frank Frazetta with a cool lizard-riding fantasy piece which I've posted here, along with my attempt at the Jeff Watt's line study as well

I tried to follow Olev Yurkov because it seemed fun and approachable. The other ones had realism that I did not think I have the skills for. His drawings were cartoonish and weirdly funny. I had fun drawing them. Please let me know what you think.

@Chuck Ludwig Reina Please critique me 🙇

Another study of Glen Keane and try to use some of his vocabulary into my drawing but not quite there !

I'm studying Glen Keane's works and tried to apply his style to my drawing. It's really fun to do and it's nice when you see that some things are matching his style, will continue to do that !

First attempt on the skull by Jeff watts , this was very challenging but i enjoyed the process!

Jeff skull attempt. open for thoughts and critique on the lines, thanks :)

I researched the list provided and found a couple I really liked but I went with Glen Keane for this assignment. His sketches and line work really spoke to me. He has a sense of movement and flow in his work I really admire. This assignment has certainly inspired me to study more masters!

Studying Dave Malan. Honestly, I've been terrified to do this assignment...I'm still not sure I did it right, but at least I tried. I was a bit confused whether I can do a sketch first, or am I only "allowed" to use as many lines as the original artist?

This morning I started on the Roberto de la Torre examples. He was a new artist to me and to my surprise I enjoyed trying to copy his characters. Then I chanced upon somebody's post about one of his horse drawings, so I googled for a Torre tiger drawing. I was delighted to find this one (screenshot) as it gave me a chance to copy his then progress to one of my own tiger photos. Tbh I lost the plot a bit on the outer fur and just started adding light strokes, but I recovered and added some darker outline hairs. Can anyone give me some advice on how to tackle mid tones in this style. I attach a B&W image of my photo. Thanks!

I ended up drawing the skull example on my warm up pad yesterday. I wanted to keep the drawing so I cut it out. Tbh I struggled with the soft thick lines. As I'd been doing warm us, I was using my 2mm 2B propelling pencil. I have more, so I took the point off another one to use for the softer lines. I'm going to investigate some of Jeff Watts animal sketches after changing upon his sketchbooks tour.

A study of lines of artist Juan Carlos Castagnino. His drawing is in ink, mine in charcoal.

Studying Nico Marlet. He’s an animator and character designer, best known for Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon. His work is so cool!! As always my proportions are off, now watching the stick is giving me a headache, I made it so short hahaha but it was pretty fun.
