I never know what brushes to use for these, I probably should have chosen something bolder. I didn’t label but it should be fairly obvious which ones were done in a minute 😁

Critique is appreciate
these all look like a proper bending torso to me, looks good.
The first one top left, is a bit bending in the rib cage: I don't know if I could pose in that position. :D

My first lvl.1 assignments. I did two and three valu version of the same picture. It was so challenging to keep the papier clean. Any advice how to avoid patches due to soft 4B pencil?
If you're a righty, work from top left outwards (from top right outwards if you're a lefty). That way you drag minimal graphite with your hand.
Also: you can use a clean sheet of paper between your hand and the drawing surface to rest on... and make sure to not drag the resting paper as you move your hand. replace as it gets smudged.
As the most expensive option you can look up "Artist Leaning Bridge Hand Rest" at amazon. but it may be best to try one of the above first....

Level 1 and 2 attempts. This was a good challenge and really showed me just how unconfident I am in my lines. I tried to loosen up a bit on Captain Skully McSkullface, which worked in some areas but not in others. Overall, I enjoyed the assignment and it gave me some good areas to focus on in the future.

Here are the first attempts. Found the landscape particularly tricky as abstracting an already abstract wideangle lanscape ended up looking confusing to my eyes.
Nice @purpleart I like those boats especially. I might have to skip ahead to the Notan section to join in the fun....

For the assignment I used 4 types of lighting and I tried to use some of the ideas from the previous lessons on color:
1. Warm monochromatic with sunset light from the right. I used 2 references for this one:
Reference 1: Blade Runner 2049 (2017), the very orange / yellow scenes in Vegas.
Reference 2: Gerry (2002), sunset shot, similar colors to the Blade Runner reference.
2A. Cool monochromatic night with soft moonlight from the left.
Reference: Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), the scene with the weird walker things.
2B. Cool monochromatic night w/ NOMAD.
Reference: The Creator (2023), the lighting / color reminded me of the night shot in the movie with the NOMAD laser beam thing, so added it for fun.
2C. Cool monochromatic night w/ fog.
3. Complementary palette with afternoon light from the left.
Reference: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
4. Double split complementary palette with evening light from the right.
Reference: Brother Bear (2003).
Here's a link to the PSD file in case it will make it easier for the critique: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HGm1aGF6ewKN0SmMn0UbYX8rtjkuRnv2/view?usp=sharing
Great lessons! Thanks Jeremy!

exercise was tough initially but became more fun after warming up and more practice. Also I was struggling using my arms on a smaller sketchbook but became easier once I switched to a bigger sketchbook.
2 things are helping me with this exercise: 1) slow down much more than you think you need to. ignore Stan P's speed because we beginners aren't at that level of pencil dexterity yet; 2) do this for several days in a row and you will see more improvement.
My mushrooms now, vs a week ago, are much better.
Yeah, I can imagine that if you're doing this on a small pad, it's harder. on a big pad you can support your hand easier

100 Heads Challenge By Ahmed Aldoori
Process: *20 minutes per head
*10 a day for 10 days (not strictly followed as I have a toddler 😄)
* I used Loomis Head Method as that is the only method I know for now(I will learn the other 2 methods in the future)
I did this as a challenge to get better and faster at making heads and it proves to be very challenging as I am bad at proportions and shading but I am willing to get better.
# tips, advices or critiques are very welcome
@Nicole Guz if I could give you the persistence award, I would! Do you have any favorite heads? Did you try something out and it worked well that you'd like to repeat in the future?

Here are my attempts at this. Fun stuff. After the last assignment, I was realizing that I had to lighten my lines.... then we are hit with this assignment with very heavy lines. :D
