Briljant! Love the entire page. The small perspective designs and the mushroom.

First of all thanks Stan for the amazing project. I have done this project in pencil, charcoal, oil and pen. I was going to do more of them if I had more time until deadline. I tried to limit myself to 5 sometimes 7 values. I enjoyed working on shape design, showing form and dealing with floaters at the same time. It gave me opportunity to practice my skills that I have learned in Morgan Weistling portrait course.
The charcoal portrait is my favourite and I had lots of fun with doing portrait in pen which was inspired by Rembrand's self portrait. I am new to showing the form in pen, so would love to practice it later in this course. In all cases I tried not overmodel the portraits, but sometimes it was hard to ignore lots of little shapes on the beard. Would love to hear your comments and critics. Thanks.
I really like the oil one to. Well done.
I also could not stop trying out different mediums. Gouache, watercolor etc. And you could even combine multiple mediums! Thank god for the deadline. ;)

Another attempt, full page this time.
I tried to organize myself, with 4 steps:
- lines
- separation between shadow and light, trying to think about the design of shapes
- a stamp pass to soften some edges and to start to work on halftones
- and a very very long last step trying to model shadows and halftones
(and an evening to fill the black background)

Level 1 (Cast 2) and Level 2 (Cast 7)
Tried to lean more into stylization and shape design instead of just copying the exact value shapes.

This one was hard, but interesting! I tried making it in watercolor, getting the right values with that medium is pretty hard and it did not work out well. I tried pen, pencil and variations. I am happy with the gouache one and the pencil one. Impressive what other people made. Thank you!

Really interesting that you kept the dark values concentrated around the face and let the beard fade out in the ink drawing. Super stylish, these are amazing!
Beautiful drawings!!! I also immediately thought of Da Vinci when I saw the one on the left. (I first thought it was the reference drawing 😂)

Great work Rachel!
Agree with everything you said.
You could cut it in several short videos?
Makes it easier to share.
And the last drawing I could not see so well.
Finally, the reason you are wearing a camouflage jacked, is that on purpose? Are you referencing Robin Sealark? ;)

Thanks for the tips. I’m just figuring it out as I go.
I wore what I was most comfortable with since I’m not a fan of the camera. I’m sure Il get used to it eventually.
I’ve never heard of Robin Sealark, I hope she’s cool.

I taught a lesson on how to paint flowers and to see if I understood the shadow assignment I applied tot this Peony. I think I got it right but I would love to know if I made any mistakes.
@Rachel Dawn Owens and @Patrick Bosworth from a teachers perspective, any tips?

Great work @Hanna Looye! This is an excellent process breakdown. I really like that you kept referencing the simplified sphere idea at each stage. I think you nailed it! If you were to use this as a teaching aid, I’d say you could further simplify each step to more clearly communicate your ideas. Commit to specific rhythms so you’re using the fewest lines possible to convey the big idea, there’s a lot of ghosting and thinking in the first stage and not as many final choices. Think of the Mario Mushroom exercise, where you ghost and then commit to singular fluid lines. Similarly in the contour drawing, line quality can help simplify the overall idea. Using tapered CSI strokes for the contour line drawing will help you maintain a clean simplified linear lay in to add line weight on top of. In the main shadow area the value is applied a little unevenly, so it doesn’t read as a single solid shape of value. Evening out that value shape will help the core shadow read more dramatically by comparison. You bring it all together beautifully in the end by adding the “occlusion shadow,” so your values read very clearly at that stage! Really great advice from @Rachel Dawn Owens, as always! I think applying that idea to this final stage would be a big help to the final image and would keep the final example tied to your simplified rendering at that final stage. Keep up the good work!!

Wow, this looks awesome. Congrats on your class. I see no mistakes with your flower drawing. This is a wonderful breakdown.
All I might do is take it even further with some subtle value shifts. This will make your final drawing more dramatic and expressive.
Keep up your flower drawing classes!

Really appreciate the feedback Stan, and you are so correct! Glad that you critique, because I don't think I would have seen it myself.

. 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.
