Here's my value scale. I used the suggested pencils (2H, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B) plus a Mars Lumograph Black 8B for the darker shades.

It’s the winning prize for the perspective challenge and the winner will be announced tomorrow (July 10) in a live stream. So my giess is it will be launched during this livestream.

My second attempt at level one, plus a simple tree house for level two.

Here's my first try. I decided to add a zeppelin to fill the sky and practice some more cross-contour.

Where can the reference images be downloaded? It’s very hard to measure and compare from the image in the video.

Here's what I could do. I'm not sure if a "block in" is just to get the proportions right and placement of light and shadows, or if it's also important to get the right values. In the video Stephen pass multiple time over the same areas to get them darker. At this stage is it still a "block in" or is he staring to add details? Maybe I'm overthinking this! Anyway, can't wait to try the structural method! :)

Very useful lesson!

Better late than never! Here's my 10 minutes sketches.

This is super fun! Here's my first try at this exercise:

This is my attempt at a mermaid. I tried to lay in the shadows too, but I'm not sure how light reacts underwater. I really need to practice more!
