@Aleksey Thank you! I spent a lot of time on them, but it was worth it.
-
@ErinCortese These are super detailed -first time through I probably will avoid it but I think it would be beneficial. Very nicely done -very impressed! I also like your choice of artists.

@Heather-Boyd Thanks Heather! Honestly, I had a hard time understanding the benefit of doing master studies until I did the exercise. I understood the concept of them, but I did not understand how copying a composition would help me understand an artist’s process or technique. But it did! I probably shouldn’t be this excited about it, but I really learned so much. The learning process can be so intense and frustrating, so it feels amazing when the fog clears and I actually get something.
-
@ErinCortese Wow! If I didn't know better I might think those were run through a photoshop filter! Very very detailed. As long as you learned something, right?
I might do one or two more and see how simple you can get in order to get some practice on the other end of the spectrum.
-
@Braden-Hallett Thank you! That’s kind of how I was thinking of it when trying to choose values...basically how would it look if it were greyscale. I may just convert them to see how close I came. I also used Jake Parker’s suggestion of squinting at them to try and see value, and it definitely works!
-
@ErinCortese Oh yeah! Squinting is super effective
I'm starting to find myself squinting around town just checking out building silhouettes 'n such. -
Welp, the fact that I got aggravated completing this exercise tells me I need to do it more. A LOT more.
Something I noticed is that in these compositions it's not just the shapes that are balanced, but the lights and darks seem to be, too. It's something I wouldn't have thought about if I hadn't done this assignment
-
@Braden-Hallett I feel like row 1 number 2 and 3 and row 2 number 3 -have really nice compositions as you have nicely valued them. Some of them definitely look tricky. I will find a variety.
-
@Braden-Hallett nailed it i think
-
I didn’t have much time to work on this this week (Minister + Holy Week = no time for art... or breathing.)
I had already done the first four last time I watched the course so I tried to do a little every day to finish up and deliberately used Good Notes instead of Procreate to really severely limit my tools so I’d keep it loose and quick. It was interesting comparing the “fine art” pieces I had done before to the more classic illustrators I did this time. This is really good practice.

@demotlj Great work! Yeah, this weekend must be crazy busy for you
That's a really good idea to use a program that limits the amount of detail and value your capable of using. I know that in procreate you can really zoom in, even with something thumbnail sized, so using goodnotes was just smart
-
@ErinCortese These are absolutely stunning
-
Started a thread for week 3!
-
Once again, If anyone here wants more critiquey feedback on their work, post it and tag me with an @ and I'll give you a short critique.
If you want a critique but DON'T wanna post it here for whatever reason feel free to PM me on these forums or DM me on discord
I don't feel AS comfortable critiquing these, but I'll do my best!
-
@murielle Thank you!
-
Week 2 just finished up. Challenging, some were more helpful in visualising than others.
-
@Braden-Hallett You do so well on all these exercises __ amazing stuff.
-
Very belated week 2 attempt
-
@Nathalie-Kranich Nice work! Looks to me like you nailed it
