It was incredibly difficult to draw the letters but I had a fun time conceptualizing the words. I'm not sure if the subway idea comes thru. I didn't want to add too much detail to the typeface. I tried to add extra windows and a door but it looked too busy.

I am loving everyone's melted pancakes. Mmmmm...

This was fun. Phil and Marshall shared great advice, techniques, and stories.

I'm not sure if I made the glutes big enough. I watched too many Sir Mix-A-Lot videos in my youth.

The character study I chose to illustrate is Charlie Frown, a man in his mid-40s who has come to the realization that his life is meaningless. To dull the pain of this reality, he turns to alcohol and nicotine, which eventually leads to a downward spiral of confusion, rage, and shame. This character and story are completely original and were not inspired by the comic strip Peanuts; please don't sue me, Charles Schultz's estate!

Here are my level 2 thumbnails and larger sketches. This took me much longer than expected. I constantly vacillated between values. It was indeed challenging but I learned quite a bit. :)

Level 1 value composition studies. I'm not sure if I'm placing the lighting correctly, especially when I move the light source.

Here's my third evaluation.
