    Hi Ian! Never heard of him, I’ll look him up! The only artists (old masters) that I know of that are famous for their ink work is Zorn and Charles Dana. If you know some more, feel free to share. In that drawing you mentioned I was just trying to apply what I learned from Chris Legaspi.

    @Aj thank you so much!

    For today I decided to study some hair styles. My visual library of hair is quite weak. When I practice drawing from imagination all my heads are bald 👨‍🦲 – i would like to change that!

    Trying to make a sketch before committing to ink. Feels very stiff, probably because I tunnel vision way too hard on placement of the features and not enough on gesture. If I had a little bit more time I would probably warm up with some 1 min head gestures.

    Slow day today. Lost a little bit of steam, I think because I keep comparing myself to others. Which is dumb, but I can’t help it. Also, felt pretty tired today.

    Anyway, wrote down some notes on Steve Hustons course. Found a really cool pattern/rhythms with the cheek bones, the muzzle and the chin. It’s almost like I can draw a big circle for the cranium, which half of it turns into the cheek bones, halfway through each side if I draw an enlongated circle I find the muzzle and the same thing for the chin. With only that I can find all the other measurements/placements that I need for building the face (I guess).

    These are yesterday’s sketches. Just couldn’t get anything close to good. But I did watch the second season of Dark, so that’s something 😁

    Thanks Ian!

    This is my sketch for this Sunday. It’s a portrait of Jonas, a character from Dark.

    p.s: I made a post prior to this one from Saturday’s sketches, but I forgot that uploading more than one image requires review so it will be out of order 😅

    Hi Alex! Love the mileage you’re getting with the studies! Gestures will definetely get better as time goes on. If you haven’t yet, maybe take a look at Glenn Vilppu’s lessons on gesture drawing. Try to capture the forms wrapping around and changing direction, I think that could bring a lot of life and 3 dimensionality to your gestures.

    Keep ’em coming!

    @Myriam Thank you! Haha, yeah I noticed way too late 🙂

    For today we have something a little bit different. I wanted to do another Draw This In Your Style challenge and this was the first one that I saw while browsing the hashtag #dtiys. Definitely something way different than what I’m used to, so I thought it would be fun to give it a shot.

    On the left is my version, on the right is the original.

     

    p.s: almost didn’t make it for the day! had to work later than usual (one of the downsides of working from home). it’s currently 4am. thank god it’s friday 🙂

    A little sketch from memory to practice what I’ve been learning. Didn’t want to commit too much. I’m quite satisfied with how it turned out.

    Still watching Steve Huston’s course. At the pace I’m going I might finish by the end of next year!

    Hi Myriam! That last one… wow… just… wow! I love the composition, the contrast around the face, the subtle gradient going out and the softness with the shading. Great work!

    p.s: thanks for checking out my IG haha

    Hi Deborah. Thank you! I have taken your advice and did a sketch before going in with ink, and I think it helped a lot! I fixed many mistakes early on.

    This was for a challenge over on instagram called Draw This In Your Style. Did a lot of different sketches to plan the composition/angle and to get the proportions and facial structure correct. Definitely helped a lot!

    Sketches for the day. Not happy with any of them. I guess it happens. Will continue watching Steve Huston’s course
