Hey there! Here are my takes. I know my lines are a problem, I'm still having some issues controlling the pencil, especially in the ones where I tried the charcoal haha, those are a mess i know. But aside the lines, is the pose still flowing? Did i manage to capture the rhythm? Thanks :D

Yes! You are on the right track. At the point, I think consistent practice with these quick sketches will be the best thing you can do, in tandem with anatomy studies. There's really nice gesture in these. Keep it up!

Guuys heelp ! :D I don't understand how to translate measurements made on the picture, to the measurement on the drawing. In the demo I see many times he is using one measurement on the picture and when translating it to the page he uses another one,I'm a bit lost. I've been using the same measurement on both things :))

Meet & Sketch
Hi guys! Just randomly wondering if there is anyone from this course currently in Bulgaria on the seaside? I would love to meet and sketch together :D If this is a long stretch maybe other countries in Europe?

My first and second attempt on following the lecture. I really felt my line quality improving after the second drawing. I am going to copy a different artist for the final project, but I'll try to sketch in Jeff Watts's line work first. Feedback would be appreciated.

Hello! So with this one I was trying to 100% copy Jeff Watts skull, then it began to look like a Tetsuo Hara drawing. I guess it was inevitable since he is my hero lol. So, I tried to think like he would. I made the jawline shape and I tried the shading techniques he uses( which I’m not the best at yet). Also with the main characters, Hara gives them either small or nonexistent cheekbones, so I had to think of how the chins would look lol. Feedback would be appreciated. Have a great rest of your day!

You made yourself something that sounds like a really fun exercise :D Make an attempt at Tetsuo Hara drawings too, and post your work :D I see some of the lines that are very close to the master's drawing, like on the jaw and some of the shading, keep up!

One more sketch I did referencing on of Terry Pratchett's characters. I think the illustrator was Josh Kirby (correct me if I'm wrong). Advice welcomed, as always! Regaards :D

Had to tilt him a bit, cuz I draw him too big for the page :))

I tend to restate lines because it’s hard for me to see them. I noticed that I find it very difficult to hold the image in my head and so I spend more time looking back and forth then looking at my drawing. I also have trouble sustaining concentration on this for more than a few minutes.

Hi there! I think your supposed to look back and forth at the drawing and picture, you are trying to reproduce what your seeing in an image so you do need to look back at it a lot, so thats totally normal in this exercise. Also getting into the practice mindset is hard for me too sometimes, this might be the reason why you are tempted to get distracted, maybe you dont like how you drew a specific line and your mind's just like" fck it, im out", at least this is how it is for me sometimes, but each time is getting easier and easier to focus, especially if you start to allow yourself to make big confident lines, its much more fun than just drawing little lines and worry about every single one of them. Based on your drawing this might be something for you to work on, drawing big lines, you could challange yourself to draw the body of the snail from only 6 lines or something like that, or to do the inner side of the boot from only one line. Keep going & have fun! :D Regards :)
