Love your prompts, Lane! Thank you for sharing. Here my etüde (= practice) from today.

#Etüde opus 0023: Baumbart (in tribute to John Ronald Reuel Tolkien "Hobbit") I love the drawings by Marek Blaha. This is a master study of one of his sketches. 💛 In addition to the perfectly captured, thoughtful, friendly facial expression and the calmness that an Ent radiates, I like the fact that Marek works out spatial dimensionality with just a few strokes. Great. #MastoArt #LearningToDraw #DrawingFundamentals #FacialExpressions

Drawing of a man with beard. His eyes lie in the shadows. His face points directly at the viewer (one point perspective). On the left corner a thumb nail of Fedão's sketch (original). Etüde opus 0019: head (planes) and respective lighting. Brush strokes. master study Fedão Oliveira (tattoo artist from Brazil) - versions 1 and 2 further practice to leave them in a state of "unfinished" as soon as the time I gave me is up

Lane, these are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your reference pack and some of your pictures capturing thos perfect shots. I very much hope, those will be my end of year gift.

It's been a while, well... Etüde opus 0017: head structure and lighting (Asaro drawing instruction) brush "Loose Textured Wide" by Josh H. Black. Feedback always welcome. Thank you 🙂

Etüde opus 0013: Steine (pebbles), gorgeous brush "Loose Textured Wide" by @Josh Black Feedback always welcome. Thank you 😘

Did some sketches, and the little clean-freak knight caught my eyes. Rough color because i finished at 3 am, but! then I remembered that Mop in spanish is "Trapero", which is also the name used for those who do Trap Music, so Lil' Fiesta came to the party lol 

Etüde opus 0012: Master study: This is the inked caricature of John Krasinski alias Jim Halpert in "The Office". I inked the pencil drawing by master @Court Jones (https://www.youtube.com/live/WnN3M3rpcHI?t=402). Three years it took me to assemble the courage to take a leap at this gorgeous caricature. What I love about Cour's work is, that he is able to convey the facial expression, sculpting the forms and shadows with ONE set of lines. This is so amazing and I struggle a lot with it in my own works. I took some liberties though (hair for instance). Hope you like it nevertheless. Would be glad to get some pointers as what you see and what I can learn.

Etüde opus 0005: Master study "Beutelsend" by Dan Nelson (unfinished)

Etüde opus 0003: Albrecht Dürer pillows (and a bunch of strokes, circles, etc.)
