Beginner. When practicing my fundamental lines/shapes, is practicing drawing from different directions, angles and orientations important or would this confuse the building of muscle memory? Building muscle memory is the objective. Ex. Practicing circles going clockwise, counter-clockwise. Practicing lines from lower-left to upper-right, bottom-to-top, top-to-bottom.

Beginner. Redrew the images so much I got burnt out so I found different images of the same themes and styles to draw instead. its tricky trying to get into sketch-mode frame of mind—I’m obsessing over detail too much. It’s tricky. Just gotta let go.

Brand new to drawing. I’m having trouble just letting go of my drawing inhibitions. Get nervous about drawing to next exercise and go back to fundamental shapes for a few days.

1st attempt of cybergirl turned out not to horrible. Not sure why, probably because it’s a less organic figure—more straight lines.

First off, shoutout to the editor(s). So funny sometimes. I see I over thought this exercise. I went in thinking we couldn't box things in and make a plan. I thought the little construction marks I did make were cheating but I just made it way harder on myself xP. My second go at these will hopefully be way easier. I will however need to actually draw the shoe laces. I simplified mine wayyyy to much

Yikes 😬 that was difficult for me. It was a big jump in difficulty for me from the only using straight lines lesson. I got the snail but I don’t have confidence in my line drawing so it came out scratchy. 😕 I started the boot but was getting too frustrated so had to stop for a while. I need more practice drawing curved lines so gonna practice that for a while.

Beginner. Been watching youtube vids, pretty low quality content. 🤢 . Made the jump and bought Proko high quality content 🥳 Pre-Proko had been practicing basic shapes and shading for weeks. For this Proko lesson I found an image of a candle I wanted to try and draw.
