Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻

Great portrait, Larry, I too am trying to learn all I can from Ali, a great teacher.

Well done, Larry.

très beau !

Awwww that’s a nice story to share Larry. Every drawing or painting always has a story and a special memory for me personally. Thank you for sharing this. I’m looking forward to seeing the updated version ❤️❤️❤️

Larry, this is an incredibly powerful portrait.

Knowing that you drew this so many years ago makes it even more special. The mood, expression, and storytelling are already there, especially in the face and eyes. You clearly had a strong sense of character even back then.
It is also very inspiring to see your honesty about the journey and… Read more

Larry this is definitely very interesting to look at. They all look really good and in black paper to boot. Very nice exercise idea

Great idea, Larry, they look really good.

Haha yes, it really does feel like modern art mixed with realism 😄

Apart from the learning side, it looks aesthetically very strong. The contrast on black paper, the variety of eyes, and the overall composition make it visually interesting, not just an exercise 👍
And honestly, this is a great idea. Repeating the same subject like this… Read more

Knap gedaan hoor Larry!

Nice one. Larry.

Das sieht absolut super aus Larry 👏

You are getting better day by day Larry and it really shows 😊

You have done glass exercise very nicely . Your value control is improving and the reflections are reading more clearly. That patience you are building is exactly what grows drawing skills 👍
Keep doing these focused studies. They add up faster than you think. Happy to see… Read more

I love this it really looks like a glass ball!!!

The texture in your drawing is amazing!

Actually, it’s the greatest pleasure to follow your amazing drawings.I admire each drawing even more Larry 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Superb Larry, You do so well my friend,

Your work is so good it literally hypnotizes us into commenting hahaha 😄

Joke aside 😊 This is a beautiful metal texture study. The sphere reads instantly as metal. Your value transitions are smooth, and the highlights feel very controlled. That’s exactly what gives it a solid, reflective look 👍 Just one small tip to push it even further. Try…

Ja prachtig!

You have done very well Larry, I have had a go in the past a couple of times and given up, I too use masking tape but before I put it on I put the tape over my clothes first before I stick my paper down, seems to work ok.

This looks amazing. You’ll have this technique down to perfection in no time!

Great work Larry 😊
You’re absolutely right, this exercise has a lot going on and it’s meant to be repeated. You handled the texture transitions really well and the value depth inside the circle looks strong 👍 And, yes that’s a common issue. Masking tape can be too aggressive on some papers. And thank you Alex for this cloth tip 😊Even I… Read more

Well Done,Larry. Looks really good.

Thank you Alex.

Es hermoso 😍

Thank you Erika.

Great job @larry

Wow, that’s awesome

This is excellent practice, Larry 👌 When you start applying this cloth technique to portrait’s drapery, you’ll really notice how much this kind of exercise pays off over time 💪🎨✨

Looks really good, well done

Thanks Anthony .

Nice work, Larry. Your tool control is really showing here the flow and layering of the fur feels natural and well thought out. You’re getting more confident with each exercise 👍

Nice one Larry, well done.

Nice looking fur Larry. I find fur a bit challenging. I haven’t gotten that far in the course yet. I’m looking forward to learning Ali’s tips on this subject. Thank you for sharing!

Larry, I really love your consistency, it shows clearly in your work. The effort you’re putting in is paying off, and this stone texture looks solid and well thought out. Keep going like this 👏
