I still feel my hand and my lines stiff, it's been a month since I started practicing drawing again. Unfortunately the hours I can devote are few and of poor quality, usually after work. But what hurts me most is the comparison with the past. My last drawings are dated 2016 I still remember how much I enjoyed it. Now I'll just have to keep practicing until my arm finally relaxes, until I start to relax myself and start enjoying it. There is no better feeling than the pencil flowing effortlessly across the paper..

Hi there. About the first draw/picture: if you are able to see you own mistakes (that something is wrong) then you are in the right path.
When you do the preliminary draw, the block in, that is the right time to double check your measurements, always check and compare again and again...
When those measurements are right then the draw no matter what, it going to look solid and stable. I would draw again another pair of eyes (front view), and then another, many, in every try will get better, keep trying

The first day that i tried to draw a sphere with the ellipses, it was hard, and i was trying for hours. I then practice it again the next day and it was so much easier, i could imagine the lines and i enjoyed the drawing. But most of all i enjoy the learning process and how the brain works.
(the first day, i went for sleep at night and i was dreaming about the spheres, lol :)

Hi, pay attention to the negative space between the two legs, and you will spot all the differences. Also i saw a Prokos video yesterday, about: how to give feedback to yourself right away, in order to spot all the line deviations.

and in case you don't have a computer, you may print the image that you want to draw in the exact same size, draw it using the same proportion 1:1 and use it as a comparison guide afterwards when you want to check for any mistakes, using a ruler, a grid, etc..

Hi there. All the edges inside the body are soft edges. The outline of the figure is a hard edge.
The artist decides how he will represent them. Look for example how Burne Hogarth uses both (hard and soft) and he creates a very strong impression .

Front head downtilt. I think I want to do a whole series of the head in order to understand how the perspective works.

Why is it different from 3D? Did I miss something?

you didn't miss a thing, your lines are correct. the line number 6 represents the side of the face, your line represents the cheek bone, both are correct.

("Warm hugs", pencil and pure graphite on Kent Paper, A3 size).

hi, nice work. the white figure compared to the white background is almost invisible, due to the lack of contrast and the focal point goes on the black dress, alone. I would made the background darker in order to pop out both of the figures and create balance. A part from that, everything else is excellent , well done, beautiful ! :)

Hi Dorian! This course looks super interesting. I would love to attend it but need a little guidance from you. I am a beginner/intermediate, I am very interested in shading, that's the part of drawing the draws me the most. I have never done any course on Proko. Do you think I need to do Figure Drawing Fundamentals first, before getting onto your course? Or can I jump onto this straight away? Will it be to hard for me? I am a digital illustrator so don't draw much with pen and paper. www.brunamartini.com for an idea of my level. Thanks for your help!
