Just finished the gesture course so I've got gesture on the brain rn. At some point I stopped looking at the references tho since drawing gestural patterns with the shadows was kinda fun 💀

I had the pear exercise on the brain so I went into this trying to simplify and design the shapes with a limited value range. Great project!
Great shapes here, Melanie! I, too, was thinking about the pear and portrait exercise from our first lesson while doing this. Also, for the lay-in, the measuring proportions in the shape section helped.

2 min gestures
Generally, when I sit down to do some gesture studies to post in this thread, I mentally revise either Stan's rhythm class in the basics course or Michael's classes in the gesture course and do my best to follow their respective instructions. Today I was unmindfully drawing some gestures, not to post in this thread or for any particular use. It was just for my eyes and I loved the style of my lines on the canvas! Maybe, finally, I found the style I am most comfortable in while doing quick drawings, at least for now.
that's great! it reminds me of ppl mentioning Kimon Nicolaides' teaching in his book "The Natural Way How to Draw" about gesture that he guide people to find their own individual natural way to draw. I havent read and followed the exercises in his book as well but its been on my mind and plan to someday. The exercises schedule is extremely demanding tho, ppl have been saying that we dont have to really adhere to that schedule strictly as told by he book.

2 attempts at designing value groups. This exercise was an opportunity for me to put @Michael Hampton 's Head Drawing and Construction course into practice 😉. So I started by studying the structure of the head, then I related that to the light direction and the shading. And I tried to design all of this with today's lesson in mind. I first separated the shadows from the light, then I went into the details and nuances. I didn't have the courage to work on a whole page (for fear that it would take too long), but it is true that it bothered me a little in the details
