Hey, Well, the assigned ones were pretty difficult (except the rooster); I tried those without looking at the demos... but now I can finally watch how to draw that cursed hippo.

Hey, Here's my study of a drawing (just a detail, I didn't see the full page) from a XIIIth century breviary, artist unknown. I focused on meaning; what is the story, and how do lines tell it ? My guess : the hounds are chasing the deer without hesitation. This one is lost and panicking (it gesture is broken), but between them is a tree (a forest, maybe). It will, at a certain point, slow the hounds (a perpendicular gesture), telling us that a lot could yet happen. It's amazing how every line is C,S or I.

Hey, Here goes. I tried to simplify, because not all lines are meaningful (I guess ?). Don't know if that's any good, anyway.

Something far too complicated.

Hey, The pear with a ballpoint pen and a fineliner; maybe not the best tools to achieve simplicity, though...

Hi, Here's my submission, Demon Prince Charming (from hell)
