Stan, when you said that this is the half way point of the course, that made me very happy, that there is going to be that much more of it. It’s been so great, and so helpful, so far. This course has been such a great investment! There were so many helpful concepts, so far, that I never fully picked up or understood from other courses, and or art lessons. Things that make everything else, that teaches concepts for line drawing, easier to manage. In that way, this course also adds value to all those other courses, for me. I just wish I would have had this course earlier because it would have saved me so much grief, and struggle.
I really appreciate the thought and detail that you put into your lessons, Stan. Art teachers often explain things in ambiguous ways that leave me uncertain. But it’s clear to me that you really take the time to figure out how to explain things in the clearest way possible, and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate it. I am feeling really excited about drawing, and my art goals are feeling more attainable. I can not speak highly enough about this course! It’s already a 10 out of 10 and it’s only half way through! I absolutely love this course! Thanks for helping fill in the gaps of my drawing knowledge.
Sorry it won't seem to let me post without hitting Request Critique. LOL

Sketching from life / creating composition8mo
I am a beginner and i went out trying to sketch from and i stumbled upon a scene i wanted to draw. But as i started to draw i felt overwhelmed leave the comfort of the pre framed photos im used to drawing i was not really able to frame my composition out of my whole field of view.
How do you guys approach creating a frame out of your whole roughly 180 degrees field of view ?

@Stan Prokopenko How come at the demo at 19:32 the slopes go upwards out when we are looking up towards him ? since his eyes are above the eyeline shouldnt they slant downards towards the eyeline?

Do you guys look at the end point of where you line is going to end and whilst looking at that point pull to that point ? or do you more just feel that end destination and not think about it and just end up there?

Should we avoid concaves ? does it destroy a sense of rhythm / flow ? I dint really see Stan using concaves this demonstration. And he also mentioned something about people saying concaves shouldn't really be used on the human body since we have no concave. So now i am a bit confused.
Takes this seal picture for example wouldnt that lower concave be a good way to show the flow of the head? Does function over form apply here? or would a series of convex curves following that rhythm provide a same sense of flow?

so watching Stan show students what they could of done instead has brought a question to my mind, when we do break from the reference versus when do we stick to the reference? There was times he would sort of bend and spaghetti the reference just a little bit, then other times he would say how there was a bump or something that needed to be shown otherwise it was over simplifying the reference.

@Stan Prokopenko Would you mind telling what kind of wood your drawing board is made out of ?
And did you get it custom made or did a shop sell it like that ?
