I went with pencil for this assignment.

Not entirely happy with the smoothness of the lines but this is about form communication first and most. Very fun exercise.

My organic chair line assignment, I changed it slightly to the reference.

my neurological dysfunction might be too wobbly for this exercise but I wanted to try the concepts within:

Here is my assignment. Done with a brush, and once again Whiteout. I did not draw it, I printed as blue-line which I used the computer to erase.

Here are my organic chair assignments. For simplicity’s sake, I copied and traced the images rather than drawing them freehand. I feel like there is really bad line quality on both of these. My line quality definitely needs improvement. I followed along for the demo image, basically copying the demo. I did see a shadow where the inside of the curve connecting to the leg of the chair, so I put a spring line somewhat representing that shadow, kind of reverse thinking from the highlight idea that was mentioned in the lesson. The second one, I feel like I overworked the contour lines therefore loosing the form of inside of the chair. Both of these drawings are with Pentel Pointliner size 0.8 for the silhouette lines and 0.1 for the contour lines. One thing that I don’t really like about these pens is that they don’t really draw well from the side, so I tend to tighten up a bit from holding the pen more upright, if that makes sense? Both of these are drawn on copy paper.

Here is my attempt. I printed it out and drew over it with dip-pen. Apologies for the smudging. I will try to practice this more to get my drawings more clean in the future.

I've included a picture of the chair Len used as an example plus the one posted in download section. I traced over a faded out copy of the red chair but drew the white one free-hand. On that, I used a darker value on more than the silhouette lines and drew in (probably more than necessary) spring and cross contour lines. Any feedback/suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Serously Proko land? You're going to let me be the first one to post here? Poor Len, is going to get a notification, there will be a light in his eyes and a song in his heart. Eager to see the fruits of his labor and the work his students have to post... and the first thing he gets to see is this? I'm all for sharing my misery with others but this is just cruel! So as before I'm just going to start off with following along with the demo before tackling the actual assignment a bit later. Started out with the ream of paper exercises and just tracing over the image a couple times with a Sharpie and Microns. From there I traced the basic outline with a pencil, inked the silhouette and then finally the contour and highlights. Strange thing was, I wanted to make long fluid lines during the silhouette but... my hand gets in the way of my vision... so I end up guessing where the line should go. When I decided to make the lines a bit shorter they kind of look janky with me having a hard time starting the line again in a smooth transition. Another problem with the silhouette line is that sometimes I will notice the line is a tad too thin but when I try to thicken it up, it leaves a very undesirable effect. I did end up buying a bunch of Bristol Board to practice with but... I'm a cheapskate and chose the free shipping option, so they probably won't be here till the end of the month. As always thoughts, concerns, jeers and cheers are all welcomed. I'll keep posting my work in the comments. Thanks for reading.
