Does anyone how you would go about creating this short of line etching effect shading?
Melanie Scearce
Lots of layering directional lines. Try to copy this drawing and see what you figure out! Study the drawing, work in layers and start lightly. Notice how the artist follows the cross contours of the portrait.

Incredible value and edge control
@bert2
those line drawings of the boar and fox at the end are really beautiful Marshall ! here is a videos of artist working in stages i stumbled upon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qM2vHahcqQ

Yeah Yeah Yeah - that's great stuff. There are so many amazing artists showing their process on YouTube that it can overwhelm you unless you can choose the few that you say "like THAT!" and work their ways into your own process. Thanks for linking.

Is that value scale you showed in the beginning called denman ross value scale ? should i print that one out ? If not could you maybe share the one you showed ?

Stan, when you said that this is the half way point of the course, that made me very happy, that there is going to be that much more of it. It’s been so great, and so helpful, so far. This course has been such a great investment! There were so many helpful concepts, so far, that I never fully picked up or understood from other courses, and or art lessons. Things that make everything else, that teaches concepts for line drawing, easier to manage. In that way, this course also adds value to all those other courses, for me. I just wish I would have had this course earlier because it would have saved me so much grief, and struggle. I really appreciate the thought and detail that you put into your lessons, Stan. Art teachers often explain things in ambiguous ways that leave me uncertain. But it’s clear to me that you really take the time to figure out how to explain things in the clearest way possible, and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate it. I am feeling really excited about drawing, and my art goals are feeling more attainable. I can not speak highly enough about this course! It’s already a 10 out of 10 and it’s only half way through! I absolutely love this course! Thanks for helping fill in the gaps of my drawing knowledge. Sorry it won't seem to let me post without hitting Request Critique. LOL

I agree, this feels like an incredible privilege. I hope to have an traditional painting course from stan someday.
@bert2
I am a beginner and i went out trying to sketch from and i stumbled upon a scene i wanted to draw. But as i started to draw i felt overwhelmed leave the comfort of the pre framed photos im used to drawing i was not really able to frame my composition out of my whole field of view. How do you guys approach creating a frame out of your whole roughly 180 degrees field of view ?

@Stan Prokopenko How come at the demo at 19:32 the slopes go upwards out when we are looking up towards him ? since his eyes are above the eyeline shouldnt they slant downards towards the eyeline?
Martha Muniz
There is a slight change in angle in their position along that horizontal axis that would affect how their eyes align. But also, if we think about the face even simpler, like an egg shape, we can note that as it turns, the eye furthest away from us reaches a point where it has to turn back down to follow the circular trajectory. That's how I understand it, at least. Hope this helps!

Sorry for the quality i wash in a rush to submit them before the 6th otherwise i would of scanned them in. I hope it is still usable
@bert2
Do you guys look at the end point of where you line is going to end and whilst looking at that point pull to that point ? or do you more just feel that end destination and not think about it and just end up there?
