My study of Cats and Birds by Claire Wendling. I'm a huge fan of Wendling's shape design - her drawings have so much whimsical appeal. I think I struggled a bit with the outline of the head here - there's some magic to the variety of lines Wendling used in the fur framing the head that I feel is missing in my recreation. Still a fun study nonetheless!

Did another master study on one of the examples from Peter Han's "Dynamic Bible." His example is two separate drawings, but I used his example on the left as a lay-in and then tried to complete it as he did in his separate drawing on the right. I definitely should have used a finer pen than I did. I had a hard time getting some of the lighter strokes. I paid special notice to the areas where he constructed a larger line from some smaller ones, and found this particular example to nicely fit with our CSI practice.

I've been a fan of Where the Wild Things Are since I was a kid, but I never truly appreciated Maurice Sendak's line work until recently. I picked this particular picture for my study because I didn't think it would be too hard, but I found it quite challenging and it took me several sessions. I certainly grew a new found respect for cross hatching, particularly how precise his hatching is. Looking forward to doing more of these.

Finally got the courage to do this project. I chose two Dave Malan drawings. I think his drawings are great but until doing this project I didn't have the appreciation for the amount of hatching he uses when rendering the drawing. My attempts aren't a great duplication of the likeness of the drawings but I enjoyed doing them regardless.

I really love comic book art, especially from David Finch, Ed Benes, and Jim Lee. I know my proportions are off but aside from that, I like master studies and will continue doing them. Wonder Woman is by Ed Benes and Magnito is by David Finch

Did a study on a drawing of Pocahontas by Glean Keane - I find it really fascinating what a powerful picture one can generate with such a small amount of strokes given the correct line weight.

While I did enjoy this project, I'll be honest: I'm not too sure I'm getting what the point of it is. Is it about seeing how/if the artists we chose to copy apply the principles of linework talked about in previous videos? Am I supposed to just copy what better artists do, and hope that some of it rubs off? A master *study* to me implies I should be actively studying something, which I'm not too sure I accomplished. Advice on this is appreciated. I tried using a non-pressure sensitive brush for this one, and instead thickened the lines by going over them a couple of times.

I really enjoyed this! I decided to pick two drawings, the first from Oleg Yurkov and the second from Glen Keane! I really admire both of their drawing styles.

My master study after Frank Frazetta using procreate on ipad. I still find proportions and perspective difficult so I traced the proportions before going over with an ink brush to study the line-weight so that I wouldn't get stuck before I even got to practice. This was super fun and I've always wanted to learn more about Frazetta's work. It was really interesting and difficult to try and emulate the continuous, intentional scribbles that he uses to create shapes and shadows in one stroke. Also was cool to see how so few strokes/details in some areas could still give the illusion of so much information Would love any feedback on this one. Looking forward to doing more

Finished some more line Master studies. Definitely more happy with these than with the earlier ones. Im dying to learn accurate proportions tough.

This was fun! Here is my study project (og work is David Malan). Even if it does not look like John Snow I still think it turned out pretty good. Any critique is welcomed though!

Here is my study of the great Charles Dana Gibson for line work. I really felt the benefit of replicating these masterpieces. As I worked on each, I also imagined the speed and perfect line placement he must have had. Each piece took me considerable time to recreate, but through the line work I studied; it seemed to me that Gibson was carefree, quick and precise. I'm thinking it took him maybe ten minutes for each of these. I also feel that there's something special about these sketches. The line weight and simplicity of the faces make it engaging and stylized in a very pleasing way. Through searching I've learned vasts amounts about Gibson's incredible work and I myself have learned more about my own shortcomings. I'll definitely be sticking with some more master studies in the future. What a project! Referenced original works in the order that they appear. 1.) Gibson girl reading at table - Charles Dana Gibson 2.) The proposal - Charles Dana Gibson 3.) It's Perfectly Awful the Way You Continue to Flirt with Your Old Sweethearts - Charles Dana Gibson 4.)The Questionnaire - Charles Dana Gibson 5.) "The Man Who Married for a Home" (also part of the "Honeymooning" series). - Charles Dana Gibson

I did some master studies on Sui Ishida, Kentaro Miura, Sakamoto Shinichi, Kamome Shirahama and Jeff Smith. After I started, I realized most of these involve a heavy amount of lines. I also realized that it's quite tricky to get my hand to make the line go in the direction my brain is telling it. It was a good time trying.

I did two more master studies. One was of Ilya Kuvshinov, he mostly does painterly stuff, but I did find one work that was heavier on line art, I liked the ink-like line art where I did not have to focus on opacity. Another one was of Bryce Kho. I like how he uses small tapering strokes to indicate form. However since I did that one traditionally instead of digitally it was harder to replicate the thinner lines which had the same opacity as the thicker ones. Overall I have noticed that I spent too much time copying and doing observational drawing, I think I need to practice more perspective and improve my knowledge of shapes, which fortunately seems to be future chapters.

I tried another master study of Dave Dorman

Proportions are very off but I know lines are the focus here. Araki seems to make the lines for the hair and clothes dark and thick while the lines for the face are thin. @Patrick Bosworth @Ben Kraske

Jubei by Yutaka Minowa. I found this incredibly difficult, hands and arm proportions were super hard. The picture I used was not the clearest and was difficult to see in some spots, but I am not good at figuring out proportions to begin with as I am still very new.

Im probably gonna do some more line master studies to get better at them. The black spots on the hair were most difficult for me. I also spent a lot of time on the proportions. I wish the face (especially the eyes) came out better.
