I did a good handful of these, and will definitely do more in the future! I did the David Malan study after watching the demo and critique videos, which definitely helped me know what to look for a bit better than my first few attempts.

I like very stylistic and graphical art so I copy the artist I like.

I couldnt find the artist cuz I found the image on Pinterest and I really liked how they inked their work. I understood that they were doing the importance one cause the contour of Spider-Man was much bolder than the inside and I also feel like it the focal point was the hand. I felt like they used depth as well for Spider-Man as his hand contour was bit bolder and thicker then Spider-Man but it was very subtle their were a lot of tapered strokes in his fingers and I was struggling to find why they were like I felt like they went bolder on the joints to show how unique they could move or something that.

A Frazetta Line study. I know Stan said not to focus on rendering so I saved it for last only because I’ve been trying to understand form the past few months and wanted to get something out of Franks beautiful anatomical forms. Frank puts very thick lines on the muscles that are twisting/moving. He also put very sharp square lines for the boney parts of the body.

I wanted to recommend the Google Arts & Culture app for researching art. It has many high res artworks and you can sort by medium, subject, art movement and more.

Sargent. Very hard to copy these fast and loose single strokes! But interesting. It felt like he used his pencil/charcoal almost like a paintbrush!

I took reference from Nabetse Zitro on artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/9aExo Looking for feedback and critique!

Both pictures from Jojo’s Stone Ocean Pt 1 by the iconic Hirohiko Araki. Would love any and all advice or feedback!

Really one of my favourite Jeff watts pieces. would love any critique 👍

Dave Malan. Man...I am pretty happy with my copy and at the same time compared to the original, his is so much better! His lines have such movement and purpose and the drawing looks so three-dimensional, even though he uses his lines quite sparingly, it's just enough to make it feel "real". Respect.

This one is Frank Thomas. What a legend.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find the name of the animator but it’s from Disney’s “Lady and the Tramp”. Frank Thomas was the animation director and did some of the characters but I’m not sure if he did this particular one. If anybody knows please tell me :) I love the line work. Mine is not quite as smooth as the original

So, I went overboard a little bit .... I did 4 art studies from different manga one-shots with art styles that caught my eye, GIVE ME CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND TIPS !!!! (btw this is my first time drawing a face and I can say that Im happy with what I did, even though I can see some areas that I could improve in)

My second attempt at the line master study’s. I would say I have improved since my previous attempt and I also recognise my progress, although I am still not satisfied with my results. I invested in some news print and conte 1710 charcoal pencils a few days ago but the majority of my drawings are in graphite. I still feel way more comfortable with graphite and have had a rough start with the charcoal pencils. A critique I would give myself is to work on how much pressure I apply to my pencil, ESPECIALLY with the charcoal pencils. Compared to the reference (last drawing) my lines are on average to dark and also less confident. Nonetheless I improved, and will definitely stay at this project a bit longer. critiques are more than welcome.

I did a Toriyama line master study. And inked it.

I didn't had a specific artist for line work, but browsing through the references the sketches by David Malan caught my eye for his line work. I chose this because of how mesmerizing it has to see the convention of light thin kind of invisible lines on the light points on the glasses vs the dark thick lines on the shadows. also the amount of details felt like a challenge. Overall I learned a lot and even did an after analysis of the points of dark vs light and thin vs thick and I can definitely see the correlation and understand why he chose those lines for this sketch. Open for feedback!

This one was SUPER interesting! I tried to study Hayao Miyazaki and James Harren, my thoughts are that even thou Miyazaki's style seems simple, it's not easy at all, my conclusion is that he bases heavily on intuition and interesting form. I think that over the years he acquired a very refined, sophisticated organic way of drawing that is tricky to copy, as it seems he just goes at it. I think only duck like creatures got me a little bit closer. It was when I stopped trying to copy the line and focused more on feeling I want to achieve. On the other hand James Harren was very satisfying to copy and my impression is that such styles allows a beginner (like me) to hide some of mistakes and still have a pretty decent outcome. Would be very interested in hearing your thoughts.

A study on Juan Guarnido. Different medium but I tried to replicate what he's doing.
