Here is my Jaguar king. Fun exercise! I had different pencils and I liked most the faber castell. When I wanted to add conte on top - it was out of place. The whiteness of the conte was so strong that I had to rub it away. Anyway, was cool!

This was really difficult. This is my attempt on this exercise.

I tried to concentrate on the ‘design aspect’ and not copy Geoff’s drawing while also attempting to avoid a straight reproduction of Frazetta’s painting. It was very difficult.

I didn't like the left arm so I worked on it.

ok done

This was a very inspiring demo to watch. I was intimidated to even attempt this drawing. But growth comes when you push your boundaries. So here is my attempt. I’ve never did light on dark drawing before. I tried to make it my own rather than attempting to draw from the solution. I did make some modifications based on this demo. I feel like my attempt is messier than others but I learned a lot from the process. I’ll have to do a lot more of these before I am truly comfortable. I also want to know the best way to take pictures of darker pieces like this. I ended up removing all the color saturation. (I also got some eraser pieces or something stuck on the page.)

Slowly getting used to black paper and white pencil. I tried to see in the original Frazetta what is drawn in this demo (first image) and draw my own (flawed) impression of what should be white and what not. I hope some of the muscles are recognizable.
