This is a great additional, short, video by Marshall Vandruff on the Proko channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFKMw8YekFY

A couple sketches I did recently that could be covers I guess haha pretty happy with both of them but especially the swap thing. These were done with the Olo zorn pallet that stan arranged which me no greens so happy I could make that work!

Here is one I did last Saturday on Free Comic Book Day.

Jumping back into this. Did this digitally with two different brushes.

Great idea!

Drawing gesture based on John Buscema's how to draw comics the Marvel way and imagination

1st drawing is a copy of Stan's The second is my own, free hand The rest were done with a ruler 🤙🤙

I decided to apply this video to a personal drawing instead of only drawing boxes which isn't as fun. I also watched David Finich's how to draw in 1pt perspective (at least the beginning) and intro to perspective I gave myself an hour so I can work on other lessons and projects. If you have any thoughts or feedback (*cough* *cough* @Gannon Beck *cough*) id love to hear it! I certainly got confused and I think I made the ground too low? Idk but better done than perfect!

Going back through this section of the course. I shall not fear perspective!

Any advice to improve my line quality, I haven't practice straight lines in a while. How is the perspective working so far.

Bean using the timer tool with @Gannon Beck and @Adam Davis

Not perfect but I really like this exercise!

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
