Hey there, @Juan Carlos Sanchez! Just confirming you are able to play the videos now! This outage was caused by Vimeo being down, and that has been resolved for several days. I also responded to your support ticket. :)
Juan Carlos Sanchez
Yes, I can watch the videos. tyvm.

I'm trying to play the video of a lesson and it just load the thumbnail image but no play button or bar. It's the same on another course or in my mobile. Help please. Thank you

Try to find a Z in action poses to create anticipation -- the sense that there is about to be movement. Think about the limbs as growing out of the center point. Find rhythmic ways to connect each part moving outwards.

Thanks, those arrows are very helpful!

@Juan Carlos Sanchez I couldn’t reply on your originals post for some reason, so I’ve started a new one. Your gesture drawing is looking awesome. This is a tough pose but you got it. I love the tapered marks. I might turn the gesture of the leg the other way. It will flow better with the rest of the gesture. You can echo that same curves on the opposite arm too. Overall, great job. Keep it up!
Juan Carlos Sanchez
Hi Rachel, tyvm. I didn't see the flow of the leg.

How much time did you give yourself for this gesture? From what I can tell, you're spending too much time trying to outline the figure here. There's lots of scratchy lines rather than long flowing lines indicating you're really focused on trying to get the proportions right. I would try to do this pose 2 or 3 more times but this time commit to your lines instead of going back through and trying to make them perfect. I would also set a strict time limit so you avoid thinking about adding details. Hope this helps :)
Juan Carlos Sanchez
Hi, thanks for the reply! I didn't have a strict time for this. Yes, I tried to balance proportions and gesture when I did this. Proportions were really off at the start and I had to erase many times, especially for the hips and legs. Well..I also tried to consider flowing shapes like in the arms, but I had problems finding flowing shapes for the rest of the pose xD.

Hi guys, what do you think about this gesture. I found it difficult to find rythms and flow in this pose, specially in the legs, I think.

Hi guys, do you think this methods works for life drawing too?

I've used these methods in past life drawing scenarios and it does help. Especially when drawing buildings(because they are stationary and dont move, so you have a lot more time to observe and measure and look for relations). But this can also be done with people, animals, or whatever else in life.

Hi, what do you mean by linear drawing? So, no shading? or to make shades or tones with lines? ty

Hi, I can't see an assingment tab in this lesson.
