Super happy with this. Took ages but really concentrated. 5 30 am with a coffee before the kids wake. Lovely way to start the day. Smudgy, and shaded in places still Vs really honing line control but hey despite the glaring issues, got to take the relative wins. Almost a month in now from a cold start on a brand new hobby, and I never expected to be able to produce something like this so I'm going to celebrate the win and that I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the proportions class because I can clearly see now the mouth needs widening and nose raising just slightly.

This is a bonus little master study I made after one of my fav illustrators, Marion Sonet! I mixed everything I learned so far from this course ( currently on proportions). Missed using color but I didn’t want to overcomplicate things with wet medium. So I kept to playing with colored pencils. It was so much fun and I learned a lot even though I have a long way to go before I can reach those expressive lines from the original 🦊

I have to admit, as a beginner, I personally don't feel master studies are helping me much. I'm too unexperienced to understand why a master puts a line down, and I just end up copying the drawing. If anything, it might help me a little with finding new ways to use my pencil, but as a study, not so much. Maybe I have a wrong approach to it? Tried it anyways after Glenn Keane.

Tried to apply what I learned here to a portrait. Definitely didn't get the hair in the De La Torre style. Probably should have been thinking more from a design perspective than trying to copy what I was seeing.

Is the right eye too high or the left eye too low?

So much fun. This is my favorite group of lessons so far!

@Martha Muniz Please critique me 🙇

My first attempt on Conan . I struggled , quite a bit with getting the lines in the right shapes . Constructive feedback is welcome.

Drew along, then added some more characters. The first time I ever inked I realised it works really well for me, naturally. It just feels right, like no other media. Graphite has been my biggest struggle up until recently, but still tests my patience a lot. Doing "ink lines" with a graphite has really helped me tame the graphite even more and opened my eyes to its possibilities.

I drew along as I watched. And then I misspelled Robertos name as Robert. Clearly I need to pay more attention to the screen.

Here are my studies on Roberto de la Torre :)

I did another master study. By Jeff Watt. I had some fun, It took me an hour. I am very impressed. Since, I have stopped using eraser, I have improved. And my drawings have become more cleaner.

I have done few exercises on line quality (master studies). After few drawings, I have realised my line quality is getting better. I started these course 3 months ago, and the improvement I have made, make me proud of myself. I can only say thanks to proko. Here's are some of my drawings.

My attempt at the follow-along.

I thought Conan's eyebrows was his eyes for a while.

I tried to do some studies on Glen Keane, Eliza Ivanova and Charles Dana Gibson. I know, the girl's proportions are off..
