Love the problem-solving mind set approach. Instead of beating ourselves up for not getting it perfect the first time, approach it as working through a problem. Ask yourself- what do I need to change. Wishing a speedy and full recovery to Peter. Great lesson.

Thank you Stan for this demo. Seeing it from a blank sheet to every “mistake” along the way and how you fixed them - that is how I learn. It isn’t “magic” like so many artists on Instagram who edit their videos make it appear. Every time you demo I think -this is why I’m here at Proko for this type of content and lessons. It’s real, and reaffirms that “mistakes” and experimentation are all part of the drawing process and how we learn. And thank you for using a real pencil and paper.

Can you point me ➡️ to where the video is on foreshortening? I care : )

I second that!

Goals! Key take aways: practice - a lot; observe your subject matter; you must walk and stumble before you can run; simplify; details are icing on the cake; study your principles of perspective first. Inspiring to watch Peter.

Loved this video. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. We ‘fail forward’.

Asked for help
With a little help from my friend, @mcminnjesse , I have made a little progress. I followed the same process I had been using for the first two drawings. 1. glance at the reference and then draw 2. look at the reference for one minute and then draw. But the third attempt from memory (rather than just look at the reference for two minutes) was after breaking down the forms (physical and mental effort) and then trying to draw from memory.

I like yours because they’re “real”. No ruler, just you and your memory.

I like these, you “thought outside the blob” and went with unique forms that weren’t too human-like. Good imagination.
Amy
This! I wish there were more than 24 hrs in a day. I need to take Marshall’s course. So much info packed into 18 minutes in this video.

I had to keep telling myself the point of this project was to learn one point perspective, not achieve perfection. A lot of wobbly freehand lines (I really do practice straights a lot!), some weirdness with line direction, my pencil going dull at in opportune moments, etc. But I learned one point perspective along the way.

Love the sneaky 'product placement' ;)

Thank you Stan for explaining why you included rhythms early and the long term benefits. Helpful. I panicked at first at the unknown. Will practice and fail forward ; )
