So, you might be thinking that.. a line is just a line. Right? NO! IT’S NOT JUST A LINE...it's so much more than that!

@Stan Prokopenko GM, new student here. Just a quick question on drawing from the shoulder. I assume the hand/wrist should be stable and not moving, right? Im only used to drawing from hand/wrist motion so its really hard to stop the movement. Wanna make sure thats what needs to be done to reinforce the positive habit.

@Alex Secret Welcome to the course! Here's a free lesson where Stan covers how to hold and control the pencil while drawing from the shoulder. https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-hold-and-control-your-pencil/assignments Hope this helps!

Wow, that was sooooo interesting. Great video writing, and overall great work ! I'll come back to refer to this one certainly often :)
Gannon Beck
Line quality in my pencil work is not a strength for me. Looking forward to improving that aspect of my work.

This is one of my favorite videos of yours so far @Stan Prokopenko . So descriptive and neatly organized. Thanks for simplifying one of the more complex tools we use in art (as well as take for granted)

Trying to make confident strokes like you. But I lost my proportions. I made single stroke and focused on line work only. I think it is my first day of drawing.

Line drawing. Tried to stick to just CSI

I can't believe that this might be the first time I actually follow the project rules (I drew it with CSI, without shading, finding big shapes and all. But when I finished I forgot to take a photo of it as it was and I started drawing random shading lines on the drawing just because I was bored

This is really awesome! Love the Bernie Wrightson. I think this is really how we should be doing this: draw the lesson, then apply it to things that interest you, then go through the demo. Well done 👍

Wanted to finish this drawing and found it as an opportunity to practice my line quality...and oh my lol granted, I know the tools are very different (Moebius probably used a dip pen? And I used a Staedtler lead holder {4B?} ) but this got messy... particularly the contour line shading. Values aren't the best either as far as the contour lines. I, did however, find some lines getting easier towards the end like the shadow lines on the walls. But it's a start!
@bonnieblue
I was one that copied Stan's drawing, so this is my final attempt. After demo & studying his drawing, but I did this one from his reference photo. Glad to be done w/ this pear!
