I never draw for imagination because of fear to be not good or because I dont know how, and thanks to you little by little I am gain confident where in school they never gived to me thank you so much for your lessons, and I like to show my samurai panda xD. I hope that my colleagues are getting better little by little too and that they feel confident in giving more and more. Let's conquer our dreams together.

That's a cool design. I like the beetle inspired helmet.

Thanks for this @Stan Prokopenko. What would be your recommendation about drawings to attempt to those who are eager to start drawing from imagination without knowing all the concepts that folks from level 2 have? E.g basic faces, cartoon bodies, etc
Andrew actually does some rock/marble carving so there's a chance we'd add a course like that in the future.

Wow I love that grinch sketch! Good job with sketching the hair on that one.

Sorry I know I am not part of this course but see last night the line video on YOUTUBE so, if can share my practice with brilliant talented students it will be great

Hi everyone. I found this lately while digging around online resources and I though it was really helpful. A free public post from Stephen Bauman's patreon on how to take better photos of your drawings. I just wanted to share it with others taking this course as I found it very handy.

Why doesn't this video show the check mark after viewing? @Proko Support It looks like I have only watched 79% of the course content.

A bit of a cheat because this pic was from last month, but I took a lego Marie Antoinette with me to Versailles. I thought I'd try to capture the essence of the out of focus background using quick, soft lines. I guess it kind of worked.

Day 1: Shaker bottle
In hindsight, I could have added a slight tilt to the bottles to add some dynamism. :o
Bella ciao!

My day 2 of 14, I thought what would be a good subject to draw that I could see in front of me rather than on a screen. Reference is a little off because I took it after the drawing and couldn’t get the same angle on the photo.

Day 01: cup of coffee. I really like lines and perspective 😁

Really not happy, but also I'm feeling crappy :) nonetheless practice is practice. Failed a bit with Instax case reference photo, was more frontal to me but still ellipses are off.

what do we do if a drawing takes over 30 minutes? I know we're not supposed to time ourselves but is there a function to the duration cap?
1mo
The goal of this exercise is to just develop a habit of sketching/drawing daily and not to perfect each drawing. If you want to spend more time on a particular drawing that's great!
Stan just wanted to emphasize a time frame that fits most people's schedules and to not stress out about timing yourself to complete any one drawing.

Just a question how often and when they will be critiques of what we are doing?

I couldn't find a course timeline, are the lessons released on specific dates? Like every monday, twice a week? And the assignments? Somehow the notifications don't properly work and I would like to plan in more drawing time when a new lessons or assignments drops so I won't miss out on a deadline again.
2mo
Our plan is to release at least one lesson per week.
We can't give any specific calendar dates as production sometimes needs to make adjustments to a video, but that's our schedule. If you always want to stay up to date with new lessons, I recommend signing up for the newsletter to receive notifications when new content becomes available.

When posting drawings for assignments do we post in the comments under the video or in the assignments tab under the video? I see people post their drawings in both places, so I wanted to check...
