A more practice sketches I did while watching this demo (it was hard for me to watch in one go - so these spanned over multiple days).
It's fun to try and apply the things I learned from the demo to my own drawing.

Hi, would love a critique on my study of Joshua Black and his Tai Lung drawing.
I struggled quite a bit on it. I used the overhand and tripod grip with a pencil.
Josh has a really interesting style and his drawings always look really dynamic. Love that about his art.
If anyone knows a good way to get pictures from instagram that...don't look like pixel gloop please let me know.
This looks great! I can tell you really tried to copy the line quality of Joshua Black, and your pose captures the dynamics pretty well. To improve, I would focus on some of the details, making sure that each line you place on your paper has the same weight and shape. For example, you're missing some of the darker strokes in the front leg and foot, and the tail as well. The gesture line that runs through the midline/spine is also a bit off. If you notice, in the original the line runs through the middle of the back and curves to the right, while in yours, the gesture line cuts to the left, and it skews the pose a bit. Lastly, knowing when to use the overhand vs tripod grip will help clean up the lines. For example, where you see a crisp thin line, I would use a tripod grip. Where there are thicker, tapering strokes I would use the overhand grip. I hope this helps! I think you did a really nice job with this study. For images, I usually just screenshot then crop the photo and it shouldn't come out pixilated.

After going through some of the shape lessons as well, I’m surprised to come back to this lesson feeling some improvement. Line study after Aaron Blaise
Finding this style of lines very challenging, along with the technique of using the side of the pencil. Learned a lot from trying something different and exposing a technical area that needs a lot of practice.
Another De La Torre, very difficult to imitate the lines in this one as they look like a combination of brush strokes and bleeding graffiti lines.
Catching up with a quick study of Roberto De La Torre's Conan ink. 4b graphite on cheap-o printer paper (I need to prioritize my sketchbook more, the printer paper texture started fighting me toward the end.) Can't wait to do a bunch more of these, love Roberto's brush work! I really got a lot out of trying to replicate brush lines with graphite.
my favorite part of all this is the hair, it looks like silk threads woven together.

Following along with the demo, done only with an "H" graphite pencil. Focused on getting the general feel of the piece and tried to simplify some areas and shapes, particularly around the mouth and teeth because they felt too complex. Also, of course, focusing on getting the right line quality, using different aspects of the pencil. A very fun experience!

Master study of Sorie Kim. Please excuse the lines jutting out from the other side of the page.

Really nice study! I love Sorie Kim's work. You really captured the style, and dynamics of the rendering! Keep up the good work!

Drew these from observation instead of tracing. Don't feel like I did the shadow hierarchy for the second drawing correctly. Maybe I should have chosen an image with more contrast in lighting (image from another user posting in the drawing from observation thread).
Had an easier time being light and loose with the lines, more in line with the assignment
