Thank you so much for hosting these challenges and congrats to all the winners! It was great seeing everyone(beginners to professionals) come together and share what we love to do. This is my first 12 Days of Proko and I hope there will be many more. I hope everyone had a great holiday and have a happy new year! :)

The first 2 pages are 1 minute and the last 2 pages are 2 minutes. Struggled a bit but I'm learning a lot doing these challenges. Any critiques are welcomed. :)

A few more from me. These were about 2 minutes each. I might have cheated a few seconds on one or two of them.

Wow only 2 min?! Your figures look very dynamic, reminds me of Bridgman. :)

This challenge has got me drawing all day, so thanks for putting it on. Big Props to the whole Proko team. I did 14 drawings in 5 minute intervals, 2 drawings in 25 minute intervals, and one 2.5+ hour drawing. Some turned out good some less so but I had a great time doing all of them. Figures aren't my specialty if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it. Two pages where pencil and two where pen. I've seen great posts by everyone and I hope to see many more. Happy Holidays. Also the livestream was great, Bens awesome.

Hey, these look great :) I agree with everything that Maria said on the 3rd image. And I like the first image with the 5min. sketches. You managed to capture the likeness of each character while keeping everything simple and clean. I always shoot for the details first, which is a bad habit, but seeing your work has reminded me that simplicity can be more effective. Thank you for sharing and I hope you continue to do so.

Not too happy with these but I tried. I think I need to slow down and observe what I'm drawing better. The first drawing is 30min, second is 20-25min, and the last two are 10 min each.

I Focused on the expression rather than the head shape, and it took me 30 - 35 min... need way more practice.

My head layins, 25 minutes each. I wanted to do more but ran out of time. Better something than nothing right? :)

Wow, these are wonderful! I hope to be able to do that myself someday, glad you decided to share! I'm not very experienced myself, especially with portraits, but if you plan to exaggerate with shapes, I might suggest looking at both cartoon design and caricature, and writing down what features they exaggerate, and how you received it, so you can practice doing it with a purpose?

These are pretty nice, I like all the different angles you chose to practice. The only thing I would say to watch for is that all the faces seem kind of long, so keep an eye on your proportions. Over all though, nice job :)

Yeah, I see what you mean. I'll have to revisit the skull and Loomis method. Thank you so much for your comment! :)

My Art Journey
5mo
Hey guys, my name is Aria and this is my first post. I stopped drawing back in 2016 and decided to restart my art journey in 2019. I really want to improve my skills and I think this community would be a perfect place to do it. So I attached a few pages from my sketchbook of recent portraits I've done. I tried to make the portraits look more interesting by pushing the shapes a little more. I'm very timid about shape design. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing so I always go back to my comfort zone. I know it's bad and need to push myself out of it. If there are any exercises that I can do, let me know! And any critiques on my sketches are welcomed. :) I hope you're all doing well and happy drawing!
