level 1 assignment. Struggling to find a good composition for level 2, putting my own comp next to the masters makes it look extra bad XD so I'll take more with this one...
Rachel Dawn Owens
great compositions!

1 min and 5 min gestures for week 1

Love the volume of these. They all feel solid and weighty. The poses seem spot on to me too. Excellent stuff!

will this work in procreate on a tablet?

it sorta works if you use a brush with opacity, but due to how layering works in procreate, you won't get a perfectly even tone like you would with graphite. The result is still pretty good though so I do use this technique for quick sketches.

Level 2 assignment, drawing from another angle from memory using different proportions. this was one of the hardest things I had to do for a drawing assignment, but it was well worth it! I had to use everything I've learned so far (including things I learned in figure drawing) and I got a lot out of it!

Excellent work! Nice characters too! Both characters feel unique, they're consistently on model and well designed in each pose! You hinted at a ground plane with pose 12 which really helps sell the action of pose by giving your figure a solid base to stand on. Pose 5 could use a ground plane, or something to help describe the action. The figure feels out of balance, like he falling to the left. He could be mid-run, changing directions/juking to the left, about to kick a soccer ball coming towards him, but his feet feel disconnected, and the figure unbalanced. Adding a simple ground plane helps connect your figures to the ground giving them a feeling of balance, look for where the pit of the neck lines up between the feet on the ground. It's usually evenly between both legs, or just over the weight bearing leg. Hope this helps, keep up the good work!

level 2: box torsos from observation I tried adding some overlap lines on some of these to better show the bend/twist, but I'm not sure if I added them correctly.

1 - upper body is in front of the belly. Yours looks like the belly is in front of the shoulders based on the overlap 3- I'd personally do a flatter angle for the shoulders Didn't find any issues with the rest. Good stuff

level 2 seal assignment, third one is from imagination. Done in 0.5mm micron pens.
Lesulie
Level 2 assignments, took my time with designing the shapes and making sure the line weight is informative. I feel like the latter ones look better as I got the hang of it.

Awesome works! Really inspired me.

Very nice. You really grasped the basic shapes, and the varied perspectives. Feels how I would like to work towards in my on exercises.

These look so cool. Good job.

As luck would have it, I was already finishing up a line-art master study when Stan posted this assignment, so I get to be the first one to post a submission :D This is a study of one of Carles Dalmau's illustrations, who also did art for Cult of the Lamb. The under-sketch is done in ballpoint pen (because I had not planned on sharing it until this assignment was revealed) and it was drawn on top with a pilot fine-liner (about 0.5mm). Definitely learned a lot, not just about line work, but also about patience and persevering through a long drawing (granted this only took a couple of hours).
