What medium did you use for these two pieces? I really like the way the strokes look on the prelim lines.
The shapes in Lleyendecker's shadows always puzzle me. Each shape is so crisp and clean. On top of that he has subtle chiaroscuro going on in the overall object that just 'pops' it out. I'm eager to know what observations you've come up with in your studies!

Thanks for enlarging the image! By the looks of it Lleyendecker's fabric seems to be the easier subject to mimic and understand because of those crisp silhouettes you mentioned. Well I gave it a go and tried to study the man's style. Let me know what you think: [link]

I used painter for both. I'm not a pro at painter, but I wanted to use it.
I learned about using a prepared palette of colors much like 3D programs have a material ball. Simplifying the colors is another thing I observed, a bunch of colors are lost through picking out the palette but you get a consistent feeling throughout the piece. Also somethings about handling the edges around the piece, picking between curved and straight to get a more interesting and clearer silhouette.
I did this study a while ago, that's all I remember for now. I might do another and this time render out the body or at least the shirt. I'll be looking forward to the folds.

Love the sketch, but from the image I'd have no idea this style was modeled after JC. Too much blending.

I agree, I don't have his brush work down yet. More reason to keep trying ^_^. I think the next one will be a replica of one of his actual works.
