I am a big fan of these follow up lessons that teaches me more about what has been spoken about, then adds more to the picture of things to focus on.

Thanks Proko!! Is there also a way a feature of searching for specific people in the comment section is possible. Using Ctrl+F doesn't find it because the comments are loaded dynamically.

I really liked your analogy of jogging once versus having a daily exercise.

Sketching is very scary to me and i dont know why. It shouldnt be that difficult but I get anxious whenever i do it.

I'm not good on details but I love drawing people.

Trying to practice the sketchy CSI the last few days have made me feel lost, going from the simplification of lines when drawing from reference felt really good then switching to using searching lines to find the image has made me feel unconfident because i felt like i could get a better image when drawing what i see instead of searching for it. But I do see the value of using sketching to draw an image so i can invent on the page. I think that maybe understanding Stans opinion of lost lines vs searching lines has given me a little bit more confidence. I think it could also just be a lack of knowledge when drawing people as well and so i'm not exactly sure what i'm searching for when drawing to begin with. I don't know.

This is my final image the attempt of the robot person. Sketching scares me honestly. I get the concept of all artists don't know what they're looking for so the sketch on the page with CSI to figure it out. But I'm scared by the prospect that the image won't be able to be pushed to the next phase after sketching .

Here is my attempt of the penguin. I watched the video a few times in the last few days to really try to soak in the information before I started the project. I tried to be confident when I drew lines as much as I could.

@Stan Prokopenko this is kind of hard to pull. I feel the same way i did as a teenager trying to master patting my head and rubbing my belly at the same time. This is quite a complex motion to lightly start then push a little bit more then lighten up again before i release the stroke. But the back of my brain has the fun learning tickle when I try to put my random shapes on the page.

The boots are so hard as a level one so I decided to do the snail today

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?

i like to run the area heater in my office so i'm very hot when i draw, feel like it helps me relax and not feel chilly when i'm focusing and keeps my hands warm.

This is my most recent attempt after I watch the demo next to my first attempt before I hadn't watched the demo. Having watched Stan talk about the drawing process and also watching him go through it and realizing that I'm allowed to let myself go slow and not feel rushed really helped. Also letting myself have permission to erase after watching Stan erase his lines many times.

I'm a slow learner but I tried to keep edges sharp

Question to the community: do you consider the Shakespeare joke 2B or not 2B the funniest ever? 😜

I want to pick up those mechanical pencils that he has talked about. Those look very convenient to carry around.

After scribbling for a while. I figured I wanted to draw scenery after I drew my tea pot which I usually drink from when I draw

What did everyone else think about what Stan said about drawing scribbles on a page? Is it getting our arms or eyes used to seeing our selves drawing. Or is it suggesting that literally any form of putting pencil on paper we improve our drawing skill?

Does this course require an easel?

I'm super excited for the lessons! I have been drawing on and off for years but never saw any improvement. I want to go ham on this and get better. I have so many visual stories i want to tell and I really believe in Proko to be able to lead me.
