2 min sketches. I hate every inch of every sketch. They are lifeless and boring and I feel stuck here 😭😭😭

Using now some ink marker

I turned off the timer. Just wanted to experiment with alcohol marker

This bundle is amazing

Trying to do some "Force" Drawing. But I really feels so uncomfortable on this. It stills keeps a mystery box for me

another round

My warm up for the day. Hope I can get more today. This challenge here is great for motivation and starting a routine

I did 15 min poses. Now I want to go to the gym because I am wondering why my body doesnt have these muscles:)

15 minute pose. The timer option here is great

This is a pretty rough sketch. Igot this idea sponaniously when browsing through my Music albums. So I tried to capture my thought s as fast as possible. My intention was to emphasize the upper part of the head and the lower lip while reducing the length and size of the nose. The details have to be adapted of course but I think I can go on with this sketch

This is my next try of thumbnailing. This time I took Mike Akerfeldt. I really tried to take care of time and just focused on what I had in mind. Maybe the sketches doesn't look good but they contain the things I wanted to try. The final sketch (the big one) is something I wanttake to Abstraction. Any feedback is appreciated.

After valuable feedback, I tried again with singer Dani Filth. My goal was sketching fast but still keep the important information readable. Important for me was that the basic head shape becomes visible and the distribution and proportion of the facials can be recognized. After trying different head shapes I stick to the squared shape and tried to make it more recognizable. All together I spend about 25 minutes on this exercise now. I looks pretty messy but I want to work it out later and for me it is understandable.

Next try. I am getting better in keeping the head shape.

I felt more comfortable this time. It was pretty fast sketch not thinking too much about it. I appreciate any feedback.

Next rough sketch. I am getting faster:)

Next try. I am getting faster but still not able to push the shapes

I am still getting stuck in the same headshape. Maybe I should create a template with different headshapes to experiment on.

My version of samual l. jackson from the course. I am getting faster also it takes me still a lot of time.
