My line quality isn't great. I recently realized I have a habit of resting the side of my hand on the paper while I draw. I'm having difficulty keeping my hand steady.

I have a bit of trouble determining the center-line. Should I just always try to follow the spine?

I wanted to focus on capturing the gesture in as few lines as possible, and remind myself not all lines have to connect. I learned wearing headphones and listening to music really helps. I think just having a beat pumped into your head keeps you focused.

I've finished the first two videos and finally completed 20 Gesture drawings. I know we're supposed to draw these in two to three minutes, but trying to keep that timeline was really frustrating, and a bit self defeating. I just couldn't make that time, but I am getting faster. I also have a full time job, which can leave me a bit mentally exhausted for the rest of the day, so I'm having trouble really committing to more than an hour a day sometimes, but I'm trying to make life changes to be less of a procrastinator.

Hello. This is my first time taking the course. First time I'm taking learning to draw seriously. I guess I welcome any and all notes, as you can see I have a lot of work to do. I know practice makes perfect, but 3 hours Stan? I'm going to have to work up to that cause right now I can do about an hour a day of gesture. I have one question, is it okay to rest the side of my hand on the paper, or should I practice always hovering above the paper, so my pencil is the only thing touching the paper? I have more line control when I'm resting the side of my hand, but I don't know if this is a bad habit.
