. Here is my Level 1 and Level 2 assignment. This course is fantastic! Request critique.

Great job. You obviously know what you are doing. Only thing I can suggest is go forth and try more stuff. Different borders, different shapes in the back or foreground, more storytelling. Your final one, the man with flaming hands, who is he? Is he good, bad, is is night, is he standing on a small island in a mirror lake? This is beyond the scope of the assignment, but it is fun.

3rd attempt at the first project in The Drawing Basics course using 5 values. Critiques welcome please.
You are very good in creating shapes with your values. I liked your first attempt the best. The shapes around the left eye are great. Very architectural.
The main problem that I see is that the big shapes are not accurate. The ear for instance is way to small. Is this on purpose? Because it is interesting to look at.
If how ever you would like to draw more realistic. The lesson further in the course on measurements would be very useful.
But you get there by just following the lessons. Keep up and I am very much looking forward to your progress.

Completely forgot to submit these! The first ones are level one and the last two are level two. I had made them 2 weeks prior, but I just forgot to actually submit them here aha
Are there any points of improvements? I know there are of course, so letting me know what those are helps me out a ton!
They look great! The only thing that bugs me is the light on the hat of the level two character. Where is that bright light coming from and why don't I see it on the rest of the figure?
Love the left set. Really great and so inventive. Am I right to think you looked at the background as made out of shapes of light and dark?

Some level 2 studies. This is a good process to turn into a habit. Great lesson!
Great work Gannon. I especially love the three on the right. They remind me of black and white movies. Hitchcock.

I like this approach. I often get stuck in working from a formulaic knowledge based framework, but this "inside out" observational method was very helpful. I'm going to incorporate more of this style of approach in my study. After looking at this for a bit I feel like I can push the values further, looking forward to tackling this again.

Level two.
The scared lady I did in watercolor and pen. focused mainly on dark and light in the figure.
The man with the light coming from below was a lot of fun. I was inspired by @Jyayasi (*Jay-o-she*) who drew tentacles and lighting around the figure, showing that composition of values does not mean that you just draw blobs of value. Thank you Jay.
Finally decided to paint Sinbad.

These are really cool. The hatching adds a nice texture.

Really nice exploration! I love the lighting and effects in the last one, great job!
Wow! I like each and every one of yours. Glad that I inspired you to try these ones and what an wonderful job you have done! I absolutely adore the 2nd row.. Adding foreground figures and elements is a very clever idea!
Me to. It is too much fun. Great job by the way, so not so much procrastinating as more... a side quest? I thing they are great!

@Rachel Dawn Owens showed how she would tackle this assignment and I liked that a lot, so here are my struggles with clarifying notes.
Seeing everybody's work is so inspiring, I saw so many inventive variations. You could just make hundreds of these if you wanted to. Which we must not, because we have other things to do...
I used Photoshop which made it a lot easier. Ik could just copie the sketch that I made of the reference photo as many times as needed. Knowing how much work it is to make every sketch from scratch I applaud everybody who worked with pencil and marker.
Here are four pages, the rest I will post an other day.

These look so awesome! And there’s so many! You limited yourself to just 2 or 3 values but still found so many variations. That’s great!
Try a few 5 value ones too. I think that would be the next step.

Yay! I’m glad to have finally caught up to the current project. This was a challenging assignment. I especially struggled with level 2 b. I tried to design a core shadow on the face, hands and robe but it reads more like a dark stripe than a core shadow. Any advice on how to improve that?
