Exageration - Day 4 & 5 This has been an interesting exercise. I have been trying to push the poses more with varying levels of success. Thankfully, it has helped me begin to understand how twisting the torso works.

Exaggeration - Day 2 First day of trying to exaggerate a pose on my own. Was incredibly difficult but looking forward to trying more this week

Balance - Day 1 & Day 5

Mannequinization - Day 1 These took me longer than expected to do. I started with gesture for most of the poses, but ended up with some shakier lines trying to acheive a level of accuracy. This is probably my favorite exercise from the course, outside of the robo bean

Robo Bean Day 2

Landmarks, Day 1 I decided to do a study of some of the previous student submissions. Definitely enjoying this section the most so far. Quick question. Does anyone have any tips for locating the front-bottom (10th rib) and outer sides of the rib cage? It always feels like I'm guessing whenever I try to locate the general mass and where it stops in the front view.

Structure Day 2

Bean Day 2 Still don't quite understand how to know which side will overlap. Planning to go over the notes later. I've also noticed that mistakes seem to be much more obvious after looking at pictures of my drawings rather than the drawings themselves. Has been great for noticing areas to improve

Good morning. Here are my day 4 gestures

Hello. I have been slowly drawing loomis's guidelines for the head and I have a few questions about its application if anyone has time to answer. First, when drawing the initial sphere, are you attempting to make the circle the same size as what you see on screen, or are you drawing an arbitrarily large sphere to trying to draw the face by scaling up/down the features of the face? Is the difference insignificant, or is there one that you would recommend beginners to start with? Second, is their a tip for getting the flat oval of the side of the face right? I imagine much of this will come down to mileage, but any advice would be appreciated. Here are a few of my drawings from today

Hello everyone. These are my morning gestures. Currently, I am planning to spend a week on each of the sections of the course (gesture, bean, structure, etc.) alongside daily gesture practice. Would this be a good way to approach the course, or is there a more advisable alternative? Any critique/advice would be appreciated

Hello. I decided to revisit this course. I have been primarily using a very structural approach to quick sketches (to help with drawing from imagination), so focusing more on gestural, long flowing lines feels a bit disjointed, especially for the shorter timed poses. Would appreciate any feedback/critique

Hello everyone. I haven't posted in awhile. Here are some of the gestures I drew a couple days ago. Currently, I am working my way through Bridgman, but I plan on going through this course once again in the near future. Some of the concepts previously laid out now feel closer within reach, so I hope to gain more from re-exploring them once again. Any critique would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone. Here is a recent figure drawing session. Trying to focus more on the model than my drawing. Would appreciate any feedback

Balance practice day 3/4. Any critiques would be appreciated

Good afternoon. I've been busier this week and have noticed gesture drawings have started to become one of the more enjoyable parts of my day (go figure).  Lately, I have been trying to capture the more of the volume in the poses. Has been difficult but nice to try out. Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello again. I spent the last week focusing on shorter gesures. Here are some of the recent drawings I completed. Would love to hear any feedback.

Hello everyone. Here are a few of my gesture drawings. I can tell there are areas for improvement, but as a beginner, it's hard to discern where I should focus. Would greatly appreciate any feedback.
