Project - Line Master Studies

Course In Progress

Pick a master drawing you find amazing and study it, focusing on the artist's use of lines. A big part of this project is about taking some time exploring different artists to figure out what you like.

Select artists you admire, do multiple small studies, and focus on studying the lines. Ignore any shading.

Don’t forget to share your drawings! Include the original master drawing and make sure to credit the artist.


Deadline for submissions to be included in the video critique is May 11th.

are the level ones supposed to be studying via tracing at this point?

My master study of David Malan. The lines are not at all what they should be. It was hard enough to replicate the portrait. It's a learning process!

2 studies after Byous. Original drawings are pencil drawings with awesome shading. I tried to translate this with Ink Pens. It gave me a hard time in the dark areas because I wanted to work on lineweight only (with no shading).

Another study of Glen Keane. This time tried to focus more on the lines than on all the proportion mistakes. I think the lines are better, altho darks not dark enough. As expected, proportions are still off.

I did a study of this cool art from Luiz Oblea i found on artstation. For me its a win just that i actually could draw a bit at all after a long time worsened in my illness. It was fun :)

I decided to do studies of Jean Giraud's works, though I'm really not comfortable doing "master studies" being a Level 0 artist. I did three studies, each took roughly 20-30 minutes. I will say that a few weeks ago - before I purchased this course - there's no way I could have drawn these with even a fraction of the accuracy and understanding that I did today. Any and all feedback is appreciated. I'm almost caught up.

This is done before watching the demo. I wanted to spend more time on this, but family and life demands required additional attention (I’ll hopefully have more time later to do more of this sort of thing). Study was done after Glen Keane.

After watching the demos, I decided to try a couple of de la Torre’s works.

After Glen Keane. Mine is much more stiff and geometric looking vs Glens organic energy. Much to learn!

For the wavy lines of the hair it could help to look for bigger shapes. Glen shaded the hear in 3 parts. 1 part is blank (in front) the upper part is shaded light with lots of space inbetween the shading lines and the 3rd part is underneed with lines closer to each other. If you start with those 3 shapes and than make your wavy lines follow those shapes it makes it less complex. The head is done very well.

I shaded even though I wasn't supposed to, but I did it on a different layer. Was a fun project :D Any critique would be appreciated! :) Study of Frazetta

I know I'm late to the critique but I just caught up in the basics course and wanted to get in the habit of posting my assignments. I'm a beginner, mostly doing the level 1 stuff. For this line study, I chose a scene from Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa. Feel free if anyone has any feedback!

In the original there is more variation in lineweight. if you look at the drawings from a little further away you can see this more easily. You did a good job in the motion and directions of the lines.

Here is my Norman Rockwell study. I found that he made the eye a square shape to contrast with the loose flowing lines very interesting.

Here is another master study I tried after learning of the work of Sorie Kim on this forum. Really interesting stuff.

Really good! You you caught the essence of Sorie Kim’s drawing. If you want to improve any further, you should look for region with even thicker lines and maybe some more form describing lines.
