500th Day of Proko and counting.
I'm too busy today to do anything special for it. Maybe that's kind of the point. There isn't any fanfare that comes with showing up--just the steady progress.
About five minute sketches. I may have spent a little more, but not much.
heyy, Congrats on hitting 500!! Just like a sculpture, your skill is getting polished 1 layer stronger each day and it shows
Day 145: 28th April, 2025
15 min value study
This is awesome, you seem to use minimal brushstrokes and captured the essential shapes. Is this just using hard round brush?
concur with Jyayasi, it adds another dimension (figuraively too hehe) to your gesture study and I like how you make them into such simple shapes and not overcomplicate it

Asked for help
Must admit I'm feeling a little discouraged.😞 I'm not sure if I'm heading in the right direction or even improving. I struggle with drawing the aeroplane and getting the wings in the right perspective. When drawing an object from observation I can plan it out to a degree (primative 3D shape of the main object) but but adding other primative 3D shapes to that object is a struggle. I feel like when I'm looking at everyone elses work they all look really precise and gorgeous to look at. I feel like I'm doing something wrong or I'm missing something in the lessons. Any advice would be great.
Had experienced the same feeling as you before. What helped me, is to draw lots of primitive forms and try fitting them into the same setting, have them in proximity to each others, overlap or attached.
It will be a gradual improvement, but eventually our brain and hand will connect it together intuitively.
But pardon my intrusiveness, if this will be addressed and part of the perspective course journey., I believe Marshall mentioned that we are still in the segment of Understanding Perspective, not Mastering Perspective yet, so it's okay for our assignments to be messy and fail a lot. For encouragement, it is helpful to compare your current drawings to your past drawings instead!
