my lvl 1 exercises later gona do the tanks

Hey guys. Here are 3 drawings. An F1 car (Go McLaren), a bulldozer, and a Sherman Tank. I had a hard time with the tank getting the wheels/ ellipses to feel right. I don’t know, the angulation of the axis felt weird and I had to re-sketch and erase a hundred times. I also started with 6 wheels but somehow ended up with 8 because the proportions felt better. Lots of fun little details though, probably went overboard. Fun assignment!

Love this community. Thank you Stan and Proko team for making it possible

Not a ton of time today. Here are 2, 15 min figure sketches

~ 1 hour sketch, procreate w charcoal brush

Smaller studies are 3 minutes each, the full size are 30 min each. Very challenging exercise but fun as always

~30 minute warrior sketch

20 minutes, 3x15 minutes

25 minutes each

Hey guys, here are three 20 minute hand drawings. The free tutorials are super helpful, so thank you Stan and the team. Also, nearly spit my coffee out when skelly got the belt 😂.

These are 25 min digital paintings on procreate. I was going to do line drawing sketches but for some reason I thought of Zhou Ming wu and decided to try and emulate his style of color pallet. Never painted mermaids before, but this was really fun

25 minutes each. seemed long to be but I practiced just slowing down and keeping the shapes and lines balanced. I think some of the values got away from me though. Really fun challenge! Haven't done figure drawings in a while!

Hi guys! Here are two separate 25 minute attempts. Fun challenge! Wish I had time for more tonight. I need to learn how to slow down and simplify. A constant struggle lol

Here is another extension of the eyeballing proportions exercise. It’s just so fun taking it to a more completed stage. This is a portrait of Karen Allen’s Marion Ravenwood from Raiders of the Lost Ark, done with HB and 2B graphite Staedtler pencil, on standard 8.5x11 75lb sketchbook paper. Any critiques are welcome. Is using a fixative recommended? Also, what are people generally using to create a more uniform/ dark background? Graphite or charcoal powder? Thanks for any feedback.

Hey guys I did a series of 5 min and 8 min poses. Really challenging. I don’t know if more time helped me or hurt me. I feel like I’m a little heavy with searching lines. When you’re drawing against the clock you start to play mind games. Certainly fun though, I’ll try to do the remaining poses by tomorrow.

Hi guys, I tried to eye ball proportions and take more of a hybrid approach for this portrait of Harrison Ford. I got carried away and decided to render the whole thing. Just wanted to share. Having lots of fun with the class

Fun assignment. It’s really challenging to keep the pose and gesture loose and dynamic when you start adding a few details. It’s amazing how rigid the drawings can start to feel. I hope that some of the movement and dynamism was captured in these.

It’s nice to see the trouble shooting process mid lay-in. I have given up on so many drawings in the past because they felt so off but likely needed a minor adjustment. Super helpful. Also interesting point on how the relative positions of certain features can make the proportions feel warped, too narrow when they’re really not, etc.

Here is my assignment. Does someone here know how you can compare proportions like proko does in Photoshop But in procreate instead?

Fun assignment! Looking forward to doing more
