Started with Kim Jung Gi studies. Will try art by Eliza Ivanova and Karl Kopinski after watching the demos.

Three studies: The first of a Gibson girl, the second of Eliza Ivanova, the third of John Singer Sargent. Gibson girl was straightforward. I did it digitally, and was pretty fun to do. Trying to recreate it gave me more appreciation for the subtle curves Gibson put into otherwise straight lines. Definitely bit off more than I can chew with Ivanova. This one I did on paper (clearly). It was much more complex, with much more varied lines, and tones that were hard to ignore. Very challenging, and I'm not sure I'm skilled enough to digest what she puts on paper. Definitely something to build up and aspire to. Finished with a more simple study by Sargent. I like how effective those thick, dark lines around the bull's neck are in contrasting the face and drawing the viewer's eyes to the bull's eyes. This one was challenging, but felt more my level.

Here are my studies of Van Gogh and Malan before watching the demos. I guess I could have been a bit more detailed in trying to replicate the masters. Will probably do a retry in the near future. So much to learn.

decided to comeback in this lesson and study some of Glenn Keane work. the confidence in the lines are brutal

Here are my studies of Glen Keane and Bernie Wrightson. I had a great time doing this, despite the proportion and lack of anatomical knowledge.

Good evening guys, I have made some few draws from parents artist, before watching the teacher's demo. I picked from the teacher reference since i have no parent artist (Eliza Ivanova, Dave Malan, Charles Dana Gibson and Glen Keane. It was a difficult talk for me. I need to buy the course about portrait. when it comes to the face. It just miss a lot. Finaly, to encourage myself, I drew from observation my horse toy. Any comment would help.

I did a study of Bending Woman by Van Gogh.

There are so many amazing drawings on this topic! I chose to study Glen Kean's. It was one of my first attempts at drawing human. I never draw them because they always seemed too difficult for me.

My studies of Everett Raymond Kinstler and Charles Dana Gibson. Feedback appreciated!

I know my proportions are way off but this was actually really fun and I enjoyed thinking about why Watts chose the lines he did and how to recreate them with my limited pencil supply. Also, noticed that some of the construction lines he keeps in really add to the face in a cool way. Love any and all critiques

tatsuki fujimoto line study, copying a digital lineart manga drawing in pencil is pretty hard, critiques welcome

Eliza ivanova study, tough 🙃

I found the work of Eliza Ivanova and Claire Wendling stunning, so i choose them. i would loooove some feedback

A study of Kim jung gi, feedback welcome

Hi everyone, these are the studies I did before watching the demos. I did a series of studies of some inking masters, including Alex Pardee, Tsutomu Nihei, Ashley Wood, Heinrich Kley, Frank Frazetta, and Robert De La Torre. Overall, I’m having a hard time clearly identifying the specific approaches they use (except in a few of the pieces I studied). It feels like they work much more freely/loosely than I expected. This is my first time doing studies of this kind, so I’d really appreciate any tips, feedback, or advice on how to improve my studies. Thanks!

Loved this assignment. Chose to do studies of Peter Han's work. I would do an initial pencil drawing and then ink over it. His style is interesting, He blends the use of hierarchy and light to influence his line weight. I struggle to have the confidence he does especially with the thinner lines. I will definitely continue doing these studies. Critique is wanted. Thanks.

Another attempt. This time I had to try the skull after watching the demos and critique. That one was really fun, although I still struggled with the lines. Still tried to get it done by myself, I didn’t follow along Stans demo. This time I used a 2b and 6b pencil, which I feel gives me a better control on line width and strength. Also first time I really tried to do the over hand grip. That was quite difficult, but I really enjoyed the “flow”

I've almost never drawn human portrait but I wanted to challenge myself so I picked one of portraiture from David Malan. I picked the image below because number 1, she is beautiful. Number 2, I like the way he uses lines. I believe he used 1-hierarchy by importance, 2-shade/light. He uses light thick lines in various places but they don't look busy, rather they are filling up spaces nicely. I tried to do that, but I don't think I was able to replicate the way I hoped. The Woman's face ended up too wide on my drawing too. Any feedback is appreciated.

Albrecht Dürer really has amazing line diversity which I only now realize when studying his work. Before this course I would not dare trying to copy a portrait, let alone this one. But I am gaining confidence through the course, assignments and critique video's. My understanding of line quality is starting to grow. Can't wait for the rest of the course!!
