I've been away for a good while and practicing other skills, but I came back to work on this because it's long overdue. I wish I could credit the artist. I found this art on twitter, and I really like the line work, so I used this as my first master study. The darker image is mine, and the lighter one is the original. I noticed they like to use dark lines for emphasizing form and focus point, and for overlap/perspective. Lines that fall behind an object get tapered. Very light, repetitive lines are used for skin shading I think. Hashing is used a bit for shading, specifically cast shadows. I also noticed that some of these lines are precise, and don't have too much value range. I don't think overhand was used for this???

This time I stayed closer to the spirit of the assignment. I tried to focus on capturing the types of lines Keane was pulling and kept it to around an hour. His ability to make even searching lines confident makes his drawings feel so dynamic and alive.

Both women are by sad_amish_tattooer the dog is by ilokunst( turned harder then I thought but I into such alternative stuff) and the tigers from pinterest. I gave my all when I drew the girls the other two projects were not done with that much excitement ( in short I could have done better).

This wasn't easy at all.. I don't know why but I can't do justice to the facial expressions of these two examples. It doesn't look quite similar. But ! I think I understood the assignment and took time to analyse how the lines were being used, so at least there's that I guess ^^'

Tried this again after watching the demo + critique, felt I a lot better with these and kept closer to the spirit of the assignment particularly with grimlock (the dinosaur). The Transformers Marvel compendium cover with grimlock is by Daniel Warren Johnson, everything else is from Jorge Corona in the Transformers comic by skybound.

I’m tring to copy dave malan i think I get his Lines but I Miss anatomy (I will start to study it after I will end all the lessons of this course) ( my draws look more like sanji) any advices?pls

Line master study after Dave Malan. Learnt a good amount from this, will try to apply what I learnt on another portrait drawing to properly internalise what I learnt.

Finished! I went beyond the assignment because I was having a lot of fun with this drawing, but I'll likely do another 1 or 2 that stay within the spirit of the assignment more. After Rembert Montald

I very much struggled on this assignment. 1 in finding an inspirational study and 2 executing what I I understand the assignment to be. I decided to follow some tattoo artists since there work depends a lot on line quality. I tried to be deliberate iny line weight. Using thicker lines in places of shadow. Please any feedback is welcomed.

The frog gave me trouble. I think overall everything it came out decent. I even did an observation of a table I was looking at.

Early days, but enjoying the process.

Went deep into this one. I noticed I really love the look and feel of charcoal and fountain pen ink. Here are a few studies. The last one (the tree) is an original by me where I followed a tutorial by Marc Kompaneyets. I chose my own tree but followed his method. Now I'll continue drawing. Hope you enjoy!

First attempt at master study, mine is on the left. Could not find the name of the artist on the right.

My first ever master study!!! I had a lot of fun doing this. The beautiful art that I studied is from Eliza Ivanova.

Pretty Happy with how this one turned out, though im not sure if i did the assingment 100% correctly in focusing on the lines over the whole general drawing itself. Still happy with it though :D Artist is Mateus Santolouco

Did a David Hockney and Fernando Botero, because drawn to the flowing shapes. Btw didn’t spend time on the Botero character’s face, since that wasn’t my focus for that study. Hockney lines were quite subtle and Botero’s was more perspective focused. Enjoyed doing this!

This was a very fun assignment! I was already over the intent time wise, but I might go back and keep working on it because it was very enjoyable. I'd also like to hyper focus on smaller areas so I can really focus on the lines. With the foreground hand there's good opportunity to really get into line weight when I revisit this too! After Rembert Montald -

First line master study! I chose Dave Malan and looked at their pencil portraiture drawings. My takeaways: - detailed and subtle use of line weight brings attention focal points (the eyes, nose, and mouth of the portrait) - gestural lines are used frequently in non-focal points (hair, fur, ear) to suggest shapes or direction, contrasting well with the focal points - hatching lines clarify the presence of planes, with dark values indicating shadows, and light values either suggesting light direction or form This was challenging but a good learning experience! I definitely want to do more of these (I am particularly interested in inkers and comic artists). I'll be sure to post them here when I get around to it!

First attempts (before watching the demo) and references. Focusing on getting the line placement correct makes it harder to keep the line quality good. :') With pen, I'm thinking I should just use a larger nib for thicker lines instead of trying to construct them, because I end up getting tense and losing the energy of the line whenever I try to go over it again... Referenced artists are Arthur Rackham, Glen Keane, and CLAMP.
