My first attempt. It looks good in a general sense, but it feels stiff some reason. Any advice is welcome.

Not a bad first attempt. Just keep going. In a session, try to do a bunch. Your best ones will come after you're warmed up.

I really struggled with this one. I kept on pitching at it but never felt like I was doing a good job of replicating someone else's lines. The Karl Kosinski one at the end is unfinished- I tried using a brush pen and ran out of ink!

This assignment was easily the most challenging for me so far. Definitely want to tackle a lot more references before moving on.

Nice job, Aiden!
I found this one challenging as well. While I will definitely circle back around and do this lesson repeatedly, I've been pushing on with the other lessons. I think the benefit of that is that I'm getting a better understanding of what lessons need to become part of my regular drawing regimen. And there's a lot I need to work on. Drawing is hard.

Some more two value studies, which is the theme this week.
BTW, I'll be leading a drawing group on two value studies at the Combat Art Studio at the National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico VA on 9 Dec at 10:00 am. It's open to the public and free. If you are in the DC area and want to join us, the more the merrier.

My pencil sharpener broke so I ended up doing these with a sharpie. I'll get a new sharpener or make a sanding block and try again tomorrow. Lots of room for growth on these, but I like this approach.
I'm going to be doing more these with my drawing group via Zoom on Sunday, December 3rd. If anyone wants to join us, DM me.

My attempt at the assignment, but something seems really off, i can't point my finger on what

Keep in mind that one point perspective is a bit of a contrivance. Especially in cases when the vanishing point is out of the picture plane, two or three point perspective is a better option. That said, you did well with this assignment. It looks to me like you understand the principal.

Thanks, Stan!
I've really been enjoying the Drawing Basics Course. Even though I've been drawing for years, I keep coming across techniques and approaches that are new to me. I don't think there is a better foundational approach to drawing than what you're unveiling. Almost every book or class I've come across takes at least some little piece of instruction for granted, where you are not. This class isn't just useful in and of itself, it makes every other drawing class or book instantly more useful to students. For anyone paying attention, your class in an innovation in drawing instruction. I'll be working with the information in here for the rest of my life.
Thanks for all you do!
I'd love to try and join a call sometime, but I have some catching up to do. I can't make this Sunday work regardless. Hope I can maybe join in the future! I'll keep an eye out for your posts in case it works out sometime.

We do these most Sunday, so there will be plenty of opportunities. We'd be glad to have you join us.

Drawing Basics Rhythms Zoom Call4d
I'm just about to start in on the Rhythms section of the Drawing Basics Course. A few of us in the course have been doing regular calls, and this Sunday (7PM EST) we'll be doing exercises together using Stan's rhythms approach to gesture drawing.
DM me if interested in joining us on the call.
Hello.
It's my first upload my drawing here.
I wanted to have a job related with drawing 20 years ago but I lost my confident so I gave up.
Even though I'm having a different job, drawing is still my kind of hobby so I want to be good at it.
I already had a lot of trying and giving up many times before but I'll try again and be patient to keep going.
It was really hard for me to draw lesser dark value and lesser white value.
But it was interesting experience. I hope I can get advice about the drawing.
Thanks.

Traced the lines off my screen as I didn't have a printer on hand.
I went for the challenge of moving the light source.
I moved it higher up. But I dove into it way too fast. Somewhere half way through I felt like I needed more info so I opened up the real photo and realised I understood some shapes incorrectly. Like the eye area is popped outwards.
I might try this again but will try to find a printer. Need to think it through a bit more before jumping in.

I think you've done a really nice job on this. He feels like he is emerging from a fog.

My interpretation of 2 Weeks Challange: First part
As I draw almost every day, I added an element of my own to make the exercise more challenging. I love flowers, so I chose to draw a flower every day from a small book of beautiful photos of flowers named, «Flower Colur Guide» edited by Phaidon.
I dated each drawing for two weeks. I first used C, S and I lines. I made a first passage in pencil 4H and then in 2B. I did not erase the lines of the first passage. So we often see them in the background.
As I continued this course, I learned new concepts (Line Weight, type line, etc.). I then had the idea to take again, in a second time, the 14 drawings below and to realize them in ink while trying to apply the concepts presented in the more advanced Lines course.
I am now in the Shape section and I am working on Simple Animal Project and on inking the drawings below (which I will present in a future post). I hope you have as much fun doing these exercises as I do.

Hokay, so this one was NOT in my comfort zone, but I loved it. It's a great feeling to be given a new and useful approach to drawing. I'm going to have to lean into this one a bit before it feels natural, but I'm happy with what I learned with this first one.
