So I tried to do a hallway to a spaceship I do think I work big to small with this guy but I still think I could of done better on that front. I liked to think the perspective is better and more interesting then my first 2 attempts but any feedback on that front would be great. I struggled when I had to add more stuff to it and I wasn't really sure what should be included and where it should be place so that's why it's really messy. I am going to do another one and I am probably going to look at more photo references to help me out.Any other feedback would be a big help.

Did 2 rooms with photo reference was much harder then I thought it was going to be. I feel like I have the idea of the lines converging to one point down but I feel like my horizontal and vertical lines are off any feedback on this would be really cool. Also I kept it really basic for now I think it would be cool to come back and change the setting and eye level once I get some feedback and watch the demo.

I know this assignment was specified to only measure the eyes, mouth, and nose on the subject used… I went a little overboard on this one and decided to do a full render. I realize there are many problems with this piece, but I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve learned enough from this one and need to let it go.
Any critique is appreciated.
I know he’s got a turkey neck, btw. ;)

Really like the blue you used for the background really makes me really feel like getting fired at work and starting a underground fight club.

Still not perfect with the proportions but I think I am making progress with them in small sort of step ways lol

Another batch of gesture/Rhythm drawings I did this week. Was only able to do it once this week but as long as I have something it's better then nothing :)

Another batch of rhythm drawings I think I am starting to get the hang of it but I think I need some feedback on what I am missing here any feedback would be great

I think my what I am struggling with the most with this project is keeping things in proportion while also still trying to obtain that rhythm that Stan talked about. I would say the legs/arms in particular where the hardest part of the body to draw so feedback on how to draw better legs/arms would be GREAT. I was also wondering if would be a good idea to practice just doing leg/arm rhythms by themselves or should I just keep doing the whole body???

A lot to soak in. I'll have to watch again and take more notes but I am defiantly feeling more confident about my lines and the rhythms that make up gesture.

Did a few more seals try to get some more weight but I still feel like I can still work on the contrast between the straights and curves more with these guys but let me know what your guys thoughts are :)

I would really love some critique. I've been hearing about gesture for a decade now, but I've had trouble grasping the concept. Even after watching Proko talk about it twice, it still feels very confusing to me. Gesture appears to be like making everything noodle-y instead of capturing its concrete shape. It's like we're asked to not focus on contours and instead draw the gesture. But then again, isn't the gesture itself based on contours? I suppose I might learn differently from other people because the years of trying to precisely pin down what gesture technically is have eluded me. I am super hopeful that I can grasp the concept better, so I can infuse my drawings with more dynamism. I'm incredibly hopeful that I can create beautiful and dynamic things from my imagination.

Gesture at least how I understand is the capturing of a certain emotion, energy or story that your subject is displaying. Using CSI lines to capture the general idea of that emotion/energy/story. In the case of gesture the reference is just that A REFERENCE. You should use it as a guide but also try to change it by either exaggerating certain aspects of the reference or playing more into some of the key elements of that reference. Also gesture is often quick and loose as it's focus is on capturing things in very short amount of time. Gesture meaning will vary depending on who you ask as each artist prioritizes different things but for me gesture is capturing the energy/emotion/story in a short amount of time so you can use it as a base for the rest of your drawing. Hopefully this helps.

Difficult to think only about shapes and not contour, but i think the last 3 ones are a little better and more dynamic!
8mo
Yea I also find it pretty hard to change my mind from looking and copying the contour to trying to capture the shape and gesture of an object. I think one thing that helps me is trying to think about the overall flow (line of action) of the seals from that point I will think of one or two shapes and try to merge them together with lines. Also I think the reference should just be the reference if you have to deviate from that to get a more dynamic shape then you should. Hopefully this helps :)

Here are my NAVY SEALS (a little late to the party but better late then never). Going to try doing more in the next couple of days as warmups so stay tuned I guess lol. Also any feedback would be awesome.

Did another one of the Musketeer guy and I think I did better then my first attempt then I tried to do one of a different portrait all together and well I defiantly need more practice. This is easily the hardest project so far for me lol but any feedback would be great

Here are my attempts at the three drawings. I would really like some feedback here, specifically about line weight. I feel like I'm being either too uniform, or not intentional enough about which lines to highlight.
Still this was great fun!
9mo
I think all 3 really have that loose sketch energy so good job in that department. As far as line weight it seems a bit random for the robot, the hand sort of feels like it has the same line weight through out and the first penguin feels the most intentional. I think just watching the line weight video would help but good job on the sketches. Keep it up :)

I had a hard time with this one so it's defiantly something I will need to practice more. If I had to say one thing that I would want to fix right now it would be the angles of his eyes. Feel free to give any feedback I am probably am going to try this assignment again tomorrow.

The Mario Mushrooms/ellipses have always been somewhat tough for me so I decided to come back and re watch the video to better understand both the warmup and also see how others are tackling the issue. Here is what I got. Now that I look at it maybe I just need to darken my lines a bit lol
Asked for help
I decided I would try this project again but I remember each image taking me some time to complete and I think I was trying to be to careful with them so in order to stay loose and free with my sketching I decided to add a 15 min timer to each image. They aren't 100 % accurate but I would like to think they at least have more rhythm to them then my first attempt. Plus I think at the very least I can at least say I'm getting faster with my sketching.
