I tried practicing with some of the heads from the class, and then had a go at a couple more stylistic ones.
@gabemartini
following along, i need to double check them proportions bc the jaw looks really long i think haha
@gabemartini
i'm sorry, the 'mandibule' to be exact 🤓
@gabemartini
oh Michael, I'm so excited for all the new videos you uploaded!! can't wait to tackle them soon. I'm taking a short break from this course to get a basic grip on basic anatomy first which i think I'm needing, and I'll then return to do all these new gesture and render classes! I've been trying to use your book (great book btw) for the muscles in the later chapters, but because i am severely colour blind I struggle a lot understanding what all the muscles are... but i'll get there heh
Michael Hampton
Awesome! Good luck with anatomy.
@gabemartini
I'm so confused, it's not playing the video in the browser, and when I download the video it starts off saying it's the video for the third lesson? where's lesson 1 and 2? O:

hey @gabemartini! All videos should be showing in browser now. I believe Josh had previously had a different order for his lessons on gumroad, but we've slightly adjusted the order here for this course since it includes additional content. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi there, @gabemartini ! Sorry for the trouble! A few other students are reporting similar issues as well. We are working on the issue with Vimeo, the video player we use to embed issues on the website. Seems to have something to do with initialization. Some folks have been able to get around the issue by clearing their caches and reloading the video. Will keep you posted as we work out this issue with Vimeo. Appreciate your patience!
@gabemartini
Following along! It’s really interesting how you’ve designed the shapes. Digging the abstraction a lot
Michael Hampton
Nice!
@gabemartini
looking at the hand as a series of rectangles, cylinders and spheres simplifies this process so much! I practiced this method with other hands
@gabemartini
The spheres might be too chunky
@gabemartini
I’ve been a bit confused with the shoulder girdle concept when you’ve used it in previous lectures, but you’ve explained it perfectly in this one! Being shown how they can move independently with the little diagrams made it immediately click
@gabemartini
followed along and then I tried doing a similar pose. Think that on my own pose the hips should have been a bit more sideways but apart from this I’m quite happy. Quick question: I saw your preview for the gesture class on yt (Great video btw) and it said more will be coming here on proko…Is this gonna be for this course or is it for a separate one? Just that one video really helped demystify gesture for me, so can’t wait for be more on that. Capturing the pose as a gesture correctly makes everything else so much easier
Michael Hampton
I will be adding some additional lectures to this course on gesture drawing basics as well as on lighting figures.

Good work!
@gabemartini
oh cool! A lot of the questions I had in the previous few classes have been answered in this video, like the straight masses vs curved ones, or that thing I was asking in my previous comment about the width of the extremities. I’m digging using this process, but I feel I am struggling to “see” the landmarks when they’re not pointed out… like in the practices I’ve been doing separately I’m not sure if I’m seeing the correct placement of things like the scapula or if it’s a cheeky muscle I don’t know about peaking through haha gotta practice more and start supplementing with some anatomy studies haha
Michael Hampton
Looking good!
Gannon Beck
Solid draftsmanship!
@gabemartini
I followed along and then tried applying what we’ve learned so far on another pose. I think I somewhat got the shapes (maybe?) but it is definitely really hard when you’re not pointing out all the stuff like in the first pose lol one big thing I’m noticing is the thickness of the extremities is somewhat larger in my drawings and it’s because I’m not sure if the cylinders should be incorporating the width of the muscle or is it more just to denote direction/perspective and not the actual leg? Thanks! (photo credit @ the pose archives)
Michael Hampton
Looking good! Oh, right. So I usually leave the cylinders slightly under the width of the muscles so that they can be built over and become contours. If that sounds too complicated there's nothing wrong with them being just direction and perspective too.
