Gesture, rhythm, flow,... It goes by many names It's importance is actually stressed during very limited time durations 30secs to 1min I noticed that I felt relaxed when I had more time like 3mins and 5mins

I studied Mike Mattesi's drawings and took up a few valuable lessons so I decided to practice them immediately. >>Line weight and variation >>Use of the most descriptive simple form >>The way he labels his drawings with their time durations and circles them 😂

Ballpoint pen, 20mins each. Perspective is one of the basic things here (Contour lines help to place the forms in space) Then understanding of form, especially planes✍️ Through study I discovered that Armour plates are basically transformation of planes. It's also interesting how there are no folds due to the hardness of the material

10 mins timer for each. I had a lot of trouble with the one I'm pointing at (top left was 4th attempt). Not sure what's the main issue, I think the length/perspective of the palm facing up?? Did I overly shorten it?

You didn't think of the palm as a solid( front plane, side plane,...)

Just starting out on the anatomy course so I'm not familiar with all the muscles - took around 30 mins to complete. I'm not sure what went wrong with the angle/proportion - should I have started with an outline or a gesture line first? Overall, I noticed the whole gesture should be bent over further/lower. Might try the same image again.

Nice try @Alyssa . >>Learn to recognize the biggest forms first ; In this case: head, rib cage/torso and pelvic region >>Try to capture these forms in their simplest form/shape >>Then study their angles with respect to each other >>Then join the angles between them with a long connecting line: this is the rhythm/gesture line >>In the case of figure drawing, think of balance(counter balance): balancing of these big forms (the legs and hands come in here most times) >>Then look for the next big forms and start developing(lay-in /sketching/ measuring)them The truth is... It doesn't work out in the order above😮‍💨 It's more of iteration; repeated checking and cross-checking, using all of your head and hand, Patience, practice upon practice and Access to good materials (Good for you, you're already in the proko community😎) Sorry for the long writing🥲 Hope this helps

Both in aesthetics and function, the human machine is indeed beautiful. About 45mins for each.

About 35mins rather. I really enjoyed the studies and I've come to enjoy doing studies than detailed finished works.

A little late😮‍💨 I spent 40mins on each and focused more than 80% of time on clothing and weapons.

Head Layins. Nothing packs more of all the drawing concepts (line, plane, gesture/expression, mass,...) like the head. *** The more I get involved in these daily challenges, the more I discover my weak points and inclinations. I appreciate the daily push.

Line undulation.I really enjoyed “moving across the forms”

For this challenge, I really stretched myself. I went it and measured by eye as I drew.Surprisingly, I layed in the forms faster. The first is a mash up of materials from the difference reference photos. The second is a mermaid with her tail tearing off??I just wanted to break free from making the waist down a tail The third, I just explored curves.LOISH comes to mind

classic layins eh?! I focused on the undulation of lines across the forms and just measured by eye.

Get the fuel pump Can you gimme a hand, kin? We're about to light bonfires and pumpkins. Skelly-o'-lanterns we'll call them. This is a collection of my work process from conception to final rendering.

This is my final submission. Funny, this is my first attempt at painting. I used poster colours.
