@Devin Korwin thank you for this 3D model - the only disappointment is that even though it clearly states in "Overview" that the 3D model is accessible without a software*, it is actually not the case.
I realized only after my purchase that the FAQ corrects this information... I would recommend removing this selling point from the "Overview" to avoid confusion or add a browser version (even better!)

3D Models
Some lessons include 3D models that you can view right in your browser! No need to download any software. These will help you study further and they’re a great aid for assignments.

It took us a bit to get this set up, but we now have the browser version finished and available!
In the "content" tab, you will now see three models with various lighting scenarios that can be accessed without any additional software. Enjoy!

I’m taking a break from critiques
Hey, everyone! Many of you know me from critiquing student work here in the Proko community. Now, I need to tell you that I’ll be taking a long break from the “critiquer” job. It’s for a good reason: I was recently approved on a PhD program, which will be a very important next step in my career, and this new endeavor should require a lot of focus, time and energy from me over the coming years.
I’ve been collaborating with Proko since 2018 and it’s always been a blast. I’ve always been proud to be a part of this worldly renowned hub for art lessons, and I’ve also always felt extremely valued and professionally respected by everyone on the team. I’m glad to see that the Proko website has grown beautifully to become a self-sustaining community and I’m truly grateful and honored for having been one of the people entrusted with the opportunity of contributing with it over the past few years. For all that, my deepest thanks to Stan, Sean, Kimberly, everyone else in the Proko team, and, of course, to each and everyone of you, students/artists whom I shared insights, feedback and guidance with. I bet I learned much more than I could teach.
For all of you, as you keep learning and unraveling your unique artistic journeys, I wish you all the best of luck and a bright future with all the cool ideas, true excitement and youthful fun that great art is made of. Whenever possible, I’ll still check in once in a while to say Hi.
Warmest hugs.

2024/1/1. Hi everybody. This illustration was a part of a work I made a week ago more or less. I beg your pardon for posting it here since is not exactly a figure drawing. I hope you don't mind too much. Thanks.

I spent 20 min for each, maybe I drew a bit too many details 😅. But it was fun!
4mo
10 minutes each. Pencil and Fineliner, brushpen.

Nice practice session! 10 to 15 min each. Thanks for the opportunity and the nice poses!

Here's a couple more 20 min poses.

I did a few more. These are exercises I do on a semi-regular basis. You can never be too good at boxes and cylinders.
Back to basics - rewatched some of prokos videos on the figure on YT. It’s been a while since I’ve done these exercises. 1min beans, 2mins robo beans, and 5mins and 10mins adding a bit of structure. It’s a bit messy so I’ll need to practice these concepts again. Especially need to practice getting clean lines and starting with the gesture even for the longer pose. Still, it was good to get into it again.
Charcoal pencil on paper.

Here my submission for today. 2 min robo bean, 20 min Mannequinization
4mo
Here's my work for the day: (2-3 minute warmups-10 minute structure studies)
I went through and did some quick gestures to figure out the poses a bit first...then went back to the ones I found most interesting to solidify the structure with blocks and cylinders... I haven't done this for a while and some of the poses had some tricky spots...I think that I need to do this more often.

Day 11 - Structure | Loomis Mannikin Frame
Ah structure - finally all of my boxes are paying off! Had a bunch of fun with this session - about 15m per piece. Looking forward to seeing everyone's work!

Two 10 minute figures and one 30 minute head.

I tried to start with some force lines and find some rhythms, then put cubes and boxes over that. Even tried the pelvis structure- that thing hurts my brain. I would like to do more but I’m already up way past my bedtime. 12,17 minutes.
