Because I'm basically twelve, as I look at everyone's assignments, I can't help but think of this.

I feel like I could have done better with my converging lines but i was spending WAY too much time trying to get them perfect. I guess I just need more practice! And starting sloppy with the blob then refining I found WAY more accessible. The perspective section made my brain melt on multiple occasions and I inevitably skipped it ..so I'm hoping what I learn here I can apply to the previous section and vice versa. Thanks as always!

126th Day of Proko and counting. Some madman (ahem @Devon D. Yeider ) suggested we do 30 second sketches in our drawing Zoom call this morning. It's definitely a workout!

125th Day of Proko and Counting. I spent a good part of the evening reviewing the bean lessons in Stan's figure drawing course. When I did my timed figures tonight (5 minutes each) I built them on the bean exercise. The bean parts are in blue.

2 min and 5 min sketches @Gannon Beck , @Adam Davis and I get together two to three times a week about 2.5-3 hrs a session. Drawing with a community makes a HUGE difference. Join us sometime!

I've been focusing on the figure a lot in the last few months and practice gestures almost every day. I've done a good bit of the free version of this course before I purchased the premium version. I've also been focusing on Stan's teachings in the Drawing Basics course where he goes over his rhythms. On top of that, I'm currently taking Michael Hampton's course where he just released a bunch of videos on gesture. It's interesting to see where there is overlap between Stan's approach and Michaels as well as the differences. I've learned the hard way to consult multiple sources and am enjoying all of it. Even if they cover the same information, it helps to hear it explained different ways. Sometimes it takes hearing a concept explained another way in order to fully grasp it. Here are a few two minute studies from this morning. Timed studies are the baseline of my efforts. I post almost daily in the community section if anyone wants to join in: https://www.proko.com/community/topics/daily-drawing-with-timer-challenge

Drawing with @Gannon Beck attempted a comic cover exercise Gannon did with his online drawing group recently (check it out!) as well as some figure drawing and other warm up exercises

Didn't get much done far as figure work but did some exercises and comic work as well as great convos with @Gannon Beck and @Adam Davis 2 and 5 min sketches

90th Day of Proko and counting. Two and five minute sketches for the first two and the sketch cover was about 45 minutes. I used the Comic Book Poses pack for the sketch cover. Since I do a call every Sunday, we thought it would be fun to cap the session off with a longer pose using sketch covers. Tonight was the first time trying it out. I really like the format of it.

Figure drawing with @Gannon Beck and @Adam Davis 2-5 min poses

Second image 1st two drawings I did along with David's video. The rest are from imagination for the most part. Only looking at the 3d reference when I was in trouble. Quite tricky. I think I'm going to try this again drawing the humerus radius and ulna on their own. How those three interact with one another is where I struggled the most.

Two minute -5 minute Drawings with @Gannon Beck and @Adam Davis

77th Day of Proko and counting. Struggled a bit again tonight. Most of what I did isn't worth posting. Except this one. This one I like. Two minute sketch.

Played with the bones of that last drawing as well as another monkey in a wig

A few more chimp skeleys from imagination

Took another swing at drawing the chimp skeley after @Jesper Axelsson gave me some helpful critiques! I will note, though I did really try to keep angles in mind, it does appear that the left arm is slightly ahead of the right in the 3D model so that's why that angle is still present. Still struggling with getting comfortable with gesture in the way David draws. Everyone has their way but I noticed when I do gesture it's in segments like the spine the pelvis then the legs etc but David will flow through the whole figure while barely lifting his pen 🤔 continuing to sketch loosely in that manner after watching the gesture video on random paper so I'm sure with practice I'll figure it out. I also noticed my structure resembled the end drawing (more humorous shape than cylinder) Anyways I'll start moving on to the next lesson. Thanks again for the feed back @Jesper Axelsson !

Revelries practice from the drawing lessons with Heinrich Kley and look what showed up.
