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.

This was fun. I did a drawing by henndraws, primarily focusing on line quality, aaaand then had some fun shading. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to values but, we'll get there!

I've always been a fan of heavy lined pieces, specifically ones that use alot of cell-shading black for the shadows, so this was fun! (Og was Robert De La Torre)

Chose Testuya Nomura for my master study. The main thing that draws me to his style is his coloring but I also think his usage of lines is awesome.

Quick line work attempt- Adam Rex . This is tough! I definitely need more practice!

This was FUN! and hard. First I did a bit from manga - Dark air author: Park Min-seo Though to be honest I did this before the assignment. Just wanted to test my lines and naturaly did it. I inked over the piece, which based on demos I now know this isn´t proper master study. But I still wanted to share it

got a lot of it wrong, but it was fun! unsure of i did the assignment as it was meant to be done though

I found this awesome drawing of a lioness on pinterest. From what i could deduct in the comments it appears to be the work of Alex Gadelev. The line work is beautifully chosen.

I feel like I did okay but it would be so cool to be able to create these kinds of works on my own! Credit to Glen Keane, Dave Malan and Claire Wendling (because I cropped the names out accidentally). Would take any feedback! (Also yes I accidentally made Rapunzel too tall!)

These were challenging but really fun to do! It really highlighted some of my bad ha bits trying to get the really gestural line work, so I know I got lots to improve on! Credit: Glen Keane
