I did a simplified study of MC Escher’s Waterfall. I had a lot of trouble lining up the zigzagging pathways, but was happy with how it came out. I included a prior draft where I was still working out some problems. Lots of things to learn from on this one. One thing that I might try later is to incorporate the way Escher used the brickwork to lower the tops of each corner to make it seem more like the water could flow up. Great assignment, I really enjoyed studying this.

My brain is officially short-circuiting,
I'm lost in a wonderful maze of confusion. Send help (and more of this).

Two more pages from references and then two drawings from imagination. I tried to be a lot more gestural on these which I felt like came out better.

Great seals! Gesture breathes life into your drawing. I like to start with finding that action line, usually the longest line connecting the top to the bottom. It helps a lot when drawing from imagination to create a more cohesive and dynamic drawing. You can get so many different poses and energies with one line.

The first two were ones I did from the references and the third was from imagination. I struggled with the less active poses and only had one imaginary one that wasn’t really bad. I think I’m going to do another round of both then watch the demos and critique.

Second attempt . This was after some back and forth checking and correcting. I was pretty good on the head and face, but the shoulders were way off so I corrected. Need to be more careful with the “less important” proportions!
Nice work, though I will suggest using a better reference where light and dark has much more contrast, so you can actually see shapes and that help you if you draw that pose again or from imagination. Though really great work, the angles are perfect you are just missing some shapes in between shapes, but that's not a problem from measurements, it's just anatomy problem. Master piece michael

First attempt. The facial features were proportionate to each other, but too low on the face. Hat was too big, which may have been a part of my struggle.

Really great course. I’ve been going back and forth as I go through and the repetition is really helping. Feeling a lot more confident laying out these forms.

honestly it kind of looks like shit, but at least I did the assignment and I’m gonna do it again to improve (:

It can definitely be discouraging when your drawings don’t look the way you want them to, but keep it up. Your lines are really expressive. Nice and flowing, which I think is taking after the artist well.

I am actually a little lost on what stan meant with ''studying it'' I watched the demo to see if I could understand, but I still don't. I am planning on doing 4 master studies of 3 different artist, the one I have posted now is Yusuke Murata. But, before I do all of them, I wanted to see if I could perhaps get some enlightment about if what I am doing is correct or not, so I don't make the same mistake for the others. For what I have done with this one, you can obviously see I ''skipped'' some lines here and there, it having two reasons as to why. 70 percent of it is because I just decided to simplify some of the lines a little, and cut out some too here and there to just calm myself down and don't set my own expectations too high, but the other 30 percent is, and I will be very honest, I just thought it was a bit too much work to do, which is obviously not good to think. Around the end I cut some corners here and there to finish it, and I'll have to make sure I do not do that for the others, so that is why I am going to take my time for those this time. Regardless, if there are any people that can give me advice, I would be very thankful!
Great job with this. You really kept your hatching clean and evenly spaced which is tough. As far as the “studying” question, I’d say it’s just to really make conscious effort ask why the artist used the type of line they did or what you like about it. Not just putting a dark line where the artist did (copying) but understanding where he’s showing contours or depth. Nice work.

Studies of Robert De La Torre and Peter Han. Lots of fun on these. And lots of work.
