Unfortunately I struggled so much doing a stone-landscape. Maybe because I hardly ever drew anything out of imagination or even out of a flow. So I had to incorporate manmade forms to help me out. The result is still embarrassing, but I am here to learn..

I have that in common with you, but I think your drawing is really cool! I love the way you reference ancient ruins. So much scope for this exercise.

Drawing is a humbling thing. We are all here to learn. Thanks for sharing your assignment!

I love this picture by Caspar David Friedrich (das Eismeer- die gescheiterte Hoffnung). Isn't it a bit of a pancake approach??

uff, finally I did catch up with you (well, temporally). I found this one not as easy as it did look like. But I did learn so much in this exercise as a complete perspective beginner. I didnt do it exactly as Phil was teaching it. For a lot of parts I didnt do proper pancakes, Id call mine transverse lines. And I didnt do the sectioning, it just created an awful mess on my paper. Thanks for this great course!

arghh, still catching myself not using my shoulder as long as I am not very conciously thinking about it.

Here are a few master studies I did from artists I like and admire. Ranges from apparently scribbled lines with Heinrich Kley and Paschalis Dougalis creating dynamism to the total absence of line with Berthe Morisot’s. I also found interesting the use of coloured paper to play with shadow and highlight lines enabling focus but also volume rendering

Very interesting, thanks for sharing ! I am impressed by your choices of artists. Its like you're telling us a story about line work.

Simplification isn't something I have a lot of knowledge of so feedbak is greatly appreciated, definitely struggled with the portrait but got it done.

great, great job ! I think your portrait is so well done.

They are just great, your colors ! Looks a bit like the hand would be behind a dirty window ? Its such a good effect you've created. Maybe the red could be a little tiny bit more muted down into an earthy tone, but that's just taste, isn't it ?

Hi Baruna, I think the inner outline of her right deltoid is a little off. It shouldn't meet the middle of the collar bone. That's what distracts me and I hope I am helpful. Cool drawing by the way. (I would think her hand is a little small, but that's just a guess, I don't have a clue how to measure or relate the size)

Puh, I did exactly what Stan described: not listening to the task, shying away from straight lines (and spitting on the paper). So, after watching this one I had to go back and do the guy again (first picture attached here). Quite challenging !
