This was so much fun!! And so very important. I am used to sketch my designs in blobs. Which is great if you want to draw movement and dynamic poses. But the advantige of drawing boxes over the blobs is that you get way more acurate with shape and placement. In my blobsketch the placement of the wings is off (too much to the left.) But I only figured that out after I drew the boxes. If there is any other stuff that you can correct me on, I would very much appreciate it.

It is a good start and great excercise. Now I want more cars in my live, typical. Ideally I want to be able to make sportscars in the shape of blobs and all kind of steampunk vehicles. Something like the locomotivetank, but then better. Any cars you guys wanna be able to design?

26th Day of Proko and counting. The first two are done using the timer with different packs. The other four are just drawings I did though out the day. I took some vacation time this week, so I had a chance to draw more for fun.

I had not seen these ones. These are fantastic! Love watercolor. How did you get the colors so vibrant?

I did heads 1 too 5 at the beginner level as a warm up and then head 6, 8, 13 and 9 at the advanced level. I will focus on head nine because that one I found really difficult and any critique on how I drew the box is very welcome. This is what I think I did wrong: So version one was wrong because I did not tilt the box sideways. It's a small difference in angle, but it is there. And I made the box recede to much at the back. So version two (which I also drew bigger.) Is correct in that the box has a small tilt and is pretty much the same size at the back as at the front. The second version is still not correct because I drew the nose and the mouth too small and at in wrong place and misjudged the angle of the jaw and the ear. The way I found my mistakes was by scanning my drawings, trace the reference photo and then layer the trace over my drawing. I think this is because after I drew the box, I guessed the lines for the eyebrows, nose and mouth and then started to draw ignoring those lines. I think I could have gotten a better likeness if I had first drawn the lines for the eyes, nose and mouth and checked those with the reference photo. Do you agree or there other things that I overlooked?

Thank you so much! My first thought was: surely you can't be serious. I saw so many great entries, drawings that showed growth and great potential. But then I realised that it is Stan not Shirley, and that I got the price for real. So thank you very, very much for this big encouragement. I am going to incorporate the figure drawing course and the pack of hands in my daily drawing routine. I hope to give back by sharing the result of my exercises and being an active member of this great community of draftspeople. Hanna

6 one minute sketches and 2 five minute sketches. Tip, if you want to use watercolour, don't go to light. I had to enhance the contrast way up on these scans just to see what I painted. And it is not as if you have the time to go over the picture with a darker wash to correct stuff. Even five minutes is not a lot of time.

Great sketches, but the background is really dark. May I ask, why you choose to do that?

This was really cool. First painted the models ( one in 15 minutes, the rest in 30) and then drew the muscles over the painting. First one in fine-liner, third one in Photoshop. Guess which body parts I haven't studies yet. ;) And even the ones that I did studied, I forgot where certain muscles are. And to be clear, I just recently studied the back and the arms, so it should all be active knowledge. So, I know what I will be doing in January, studying more anatomy.

I am aware that I am using a different medium than pencil. So I kinda figure that I am disqualified. Which is totally fine. I am just happy that I am keeping up so far. Painted these two in 30 minutes. Had fun.

I went over the time limit, as I was more in the ballpark of 40 minutes, but at the end of the day I had a lot of fun and was super absorbed into the process. I know I'm disqualified on this round, but hey this is my first real attempt at a portrait, and it was as much of a challenge as it was fun. So, I'm currently learning line weight in the basics course and I've tried to implement this within the challenge. Even though I'm out of the running for this one, any critiques would be greatly appreciated. I'll try and keep this knowledge going forward for when I eventually take the portrait drawing class. I can't wait to see the other portraits here as there are so many incredible artist here at Proko! Merry Christmas peeps!

It shows that you had fun. Great going Nate! And yes, is the Portrait artist of the year, not the best show ever. Don't always agree with the jury though. ;)

This is portrait nr. 2 of a total of three portraits. The other two were just no good. It took me 25 minutes to make. I am exhausted, I will crash now. Looking forward to the next challenge.

I love the hands in the example by proko. I also need to watch those free lessons in hand anatomy...because I need to practice more. I had a rough day, doing shopping for the hotel which including the drive to the city took a over 10 hours. But a challenge is a challenge and here are my hands. Just short sketches. The hands of Marshall are a bit weird I find...
