I am continuing my challenge to do 15 figure drawings a day for two weeks. It is getting more painful and difficult. I think because I get better at seeing my mistakes. These are some of the drawings from day 9. Proportions are still difficult for me but I hope the rythms are clear. What do you guys think?

Hello! I joined this course about 2 years ago but stopped drawing after half a year. Since last month, I'm trying to get back at it again. Now I have challenged myself to make 15 gesture/figure drawings a day for 2 weeks. Mostly because I think this excercise is great for recieving fast feedback on line quality and proportions, but also because I think it is fun. From day 1 till 3 I tried to remember everything I learned and started experimenting with different ways I could simplify gestures. At day 4 I watched the rythms tutorial and I think it shows in the drawings. I already feel more confident in my lines, but proportions are still really hard. I am going to continue this excercise for another 10 days. Are there any specific things I need to keep in mind while doing this or should I just continue the way I'm going and look at what the results say? Thanks! :)

These are my attempts before watching the demo. I notice that when I have to draw something detailed and complicated such as laces, I stop trying to be accurate. I have to work on that.

After drawing 9 pears I wanted to try something different. I definitely was not ready for this but I had fun anyways.

Here are my pears before and after watching the demo. I think you can see which one is which.

These are my first attempts at simplifying the pears. I will buy a sketchbook and pencils tomorrow and try again before watching the demo. I found it dificult to make clear distinctions between shades and to keep them consistent. Tomorrow I will experiment some more with different pencils to improve on that.
