Not gonna lie, this was very difficult for me as a beginner. The lines were extra loose and flowy while mines were stiff as I wanted to not only execute the right type of line but sometimes the proportions were off. Definitely can do better, though I appreciate the challenge and gained a respect for Frank Frazetta work. (Also not sure if cross hatching counts as lines so I went half in half out with lighter half tones to suggest there is meant to be a shadow there)

I really liked the way Yusuke Murata used line thickness and spacing in his rendering on the so decided to do a study of it. As always I need to keep working on steady straight lines, but I was happy with how it came out.

first attempt. any critique please

For this first attempt, I traced just the major/structural lines using light strokes (like we did for the rhino project), then used the original as reference for the rest. Instead of trying to get the line weight on the first try, I laid down all the lines lightly/with thin strokes, and then built them up like Stan showed in the demos and critiques. Feeling way more comfortable with it now. I'll try it again (likely with another image), and do it fully from reference (no tracing outlines). Really enjoyed this exercise!

That was more difficult than I expected. This is a copy David Malan's Jon Snow.

Hello everyone. For my study I chose Dionysus by Jen Zee, a character found in Super Giant's Hades. Chose specific parts cause it hit me early on that attempting the full piece would be overwhelming. Please critique. Thank you :)

I choose nr4CES for my master with this picture of Revy. Got the proportions wrong but still had a lot of fun.

Submission for Line Master Studies. Studies of two pieces by Samwise Didier, foundational artist for the style Blizzard Entertainment is known for. I *think* I found some of his sketching preferences and translated some of it in my studies. It was my first time inking something, however, and I had too much fun not to put my twist on things... :)

This was pretty tough. I did my studies after Akira Egawa and Yoji Shinkawa. Looking at it now, I don't think the Riolu was the best fit for the purpose of the assignment, but I really liked her art style. I tried my best to replicate Yoji Shinkawa's use of lines, but I think the proportions looking off kind of ruins it. But this was fun. I'll do more after watching the demo and critique.

I’ve done a few studies of frazetta and studies of the skulls by Jeff watts as well, there were definitely a few frustrating bits trying to replicate lines and not being able to make the shapes exactly as I wanted but it’s given me a more appreciation for just how good frazetta and Jeff watts are. im going to move onto the next section of the course but will keep coming back to do more studies

Jeff watts studies

I wasn't sure if tracing was okay, but that's what I did here so that I could focus on the line quality rather than trying to get proportions right. The artist I chose was honestly just a friend whom I have commissioned art from over the past decade, and is someone whom I have been friends with for the same. I love her work, and she was my inspiration for learning. Looking at her stuff in a different light really just made me more motivated to continue learning. I love the way that her lines flow, and I love how she used cross hatching for some shading, which I tried my best to replicate in places. This particular piece is of my own OC, and was a gift she sent to me which I have hanging on my wall right now.

First set of Malan studies for me.

Practice page: Artist: Frank frazetta 🙌✏️🙌, Had fun & mindful moments of the whys behind the placement of shapes, shadows, & lines in this composition. "Looking forward to improvement" 🫴on to the next😌👏🫡

I chose Dave Malan to study. I love how much volume and depth he achieves with his use of lines. The nose and mouth are off. I tried to focus mostly on the lines. Going for gesture and weight over getting them in the exact, exact right place. I learned a lot and am planning on doing another study with one of his drawings. Great lesson and assignment!

Hii! This was really fun, especially looking for stuff I like. I’m lvl1, picked up a pencil 3 weeks ago for the first time in my life. I found @desoluz on instagram and I thought his/her line work is amazing. I didn’t copy exactly what I saw, I was going more for the fact that he/she used wobbly lines for the everything except the most important part, the head.
