Study after Ingres - apart from copying errors/proportional errors - I loved the economy of line in this study - very instructive in creating form through only using 2H pencil

super fun assignment, and found a lot of inspiration in both Eliza Ivanova and Jeff Watts. Decided to not drive myself crazy by trying to do the big tigers and instead opted for the more manageable one in the top right of his sketch. Ivanovas lines are so sharp and flowey, was a real exercise to even try to approach their line quality

Thank you for Introducing me to Claire Wendling!! her drawings are beautiful. This was definitely a challenge, I felt that I was using everything this course has taught me so far!! This has taught me a lot, I will definitely be adding master studies to my weekly schedule. Criticisms are welcome.

Another study after Glen Keane

So many great artists and I took way too much time deciding but happy with the result. How many master studies do people usually do? Is it something we just do once in a while, or regularly?

Second study after Glen Keane, but it was too big. In the end I didn't really focus on the lines so next time I will do smaller studies. The only thing I noticed is that I love the flow of this drawing, it seems really fluid, everything following the movement of the dancer. I happy with the method of doing a light a bit wrong version then stronger lines and correcting the previous mistakes.

First study of Feifei after Glen Keane, so cute character ! To be honest I don't really know what to learn from these studies (?), I don't understand the line weights on the first one, it seems a bit random ? And for the second one I just thought that every lines except the face features, were quite the same weight, didn't succeed to make it right on my side thought.

Oh man this was really hard. First you have to understand why the line is how it is and then you have to replicate it. I did not know that line weight is so important or that it can change a drawing 😅. Since I did not know which Master to study I chose one from the list. Here you can see the drawing of Peter Han which is posted on his Instagram page and my attempt in replicating it. I really liked this drawing of his and it was the least intimdating for me to try to understand and replicate.

loius wain master study, i got a lot of things wrong but i think i learned something i guess

This master study took me a lot of time and faced so many issues that for my sanity I'm going to ignore it since I couldn't do it for the life of me. The Skull by Diana Pryadieva. As for Garou I gave up 🙂 I also couldn't do the cross hatching on the skull

Stopped on this lesson a couple months ago and am coming back because im going nowhere skill wise lol. Got a little lazy on the lower half, the back sword not matching up to the hilt is by far the stupidest mistake I made in this it hurts to look at now. Tried to copy the line wait but my should movement just isnt there yet completely to make smooth lines.

The one on the left is the original by Peter Han, and mine is the study on the right. I'm pretty sure he used a brush pen so I tried to keep that energy with my pencil lines, and also be accurate.

Here are my master studies and I borrowed some references from y’all please dont blame me

This was fun and intimidating. The lines are really hard to get in one flow as demoed by Stan. Many shaky lines will prove that. 1. is a Sorie Kim drawing and 2 is my rendition of it. 3 is Eliza Ivanova and the 4th is my attempt. Requesting critique and suggestions please. Would really help.

Original by Frank Frazetta

I chose to study Glen Keane and Feefal. I really enjoy looking at Keane's character sketches; there is so much implied energy and his "searching" lines become an integral part of the final sketch. I can imagine that his hand works using the same muscle memory that a guitarist may have. Feefal's drawings and sketches are just so friggin' cute, even when the subject matter can be a little morbid. I especially like her mushroom/fungus series--she uses a variety of line weights and beautifully tapers the lines. I enjoyed trying to draw Verdigris Agaric because I got to practice drawing lines that tapered and varied in line weight, often within the same line.

I did a master study of a drawing by Rembrandt and one by Dave Malan. Very different experiences, but fascinating. I wasn't exactly sure where to start with these. I was able to look and study them far easier then I could reproduce them myself. But I'm excited to do more in the future.

With pencil. Was breaking myself back in today as my wrist has been injured, preventing me from drawing.

Here I did some master studies in linework from Paru Itagaki and Tatsuki Fujimoto. This was fun!

I did a line study of John Singer Sargent and Yuko Shimizu.
