Still trying to figure this out.

I like your 1m poses here, they have a nice looseness to them. How are you liking working on a tablet? What's the hardest part for you?

That last one is from imagination?! Wow. That is something so way beyond my skills, it feels like magic. The man in the portrait really has personality too.

Two minute sketches for today. I just realized that I skipped a week and I'm not even sure what happened... life, I guess ;)

5min - So; I bought an iPad. Here are my first attempts at harnessing a wildly new, and overwhelming, medium for drawing. If anyone has any tips on how to get more comfortable drawing digitally, I’d love to hear them!

I find that I very quickly fall pray to the Command Z / two finger tap trap. It's so easy to just keep undoing and undoing and in the end you're never happy anyway. Traditional drawing has a finality to it that digital doesn't - in a way it's the biggest pro and con. Now that I wrote that, I wonder if there is a setting in Procreate where one can fully disable the undo option.

It's so impressive how you manage to indicate dimensionality in these quick sketches, especially last few pages.

So; I had not drawn in three days, breaking about a ten month streak going back to September first of last year. I have been struggling mentally. Butt! I managed to get my hand to a pencil and the pencil to the paper today. I was surprised how good it felt. Sorry for the crappy pic. I am currently dealing with a fear of turning on my computer(seriously, I am mentally ill). Anyways. 2min poses with the timer tool.

It doesn't matter so much if you break the streak, it will happen sooner or later. What matters much more, is if you get back to it.

Yep, graceful is the only word for it. There's something about the lines in all of the figures in the last four pages that just makes the figures look so, well, graceful. Absolutely beautiful.

Didn't have much time today, but had to do at least a couple of poses - can't break my weekly routine ;)

Very cool! I love the combination of big shapes and some details.

Despite what Stan was saying about drawing from reference being harder in this case, I found it helpful because coming up with an interesting pose was difficult. Is there going to be a section of the course to work on our imagination skills? ;) On the first page, torso boxes from imagination, bottom right, I tried to do one and the same pose from front and back view. I'd be super grateful for feedback if I managed that. Also, does anyone else find drawing organic shapes in perspective challenging? I mean, because of all the twists, turns, and distortions, the lines do not always point in the direction they should according to perspective rules. So, is it still perspective? Or, in the case of organic shapes, is it more about just making them feel correctly three dimensional? Any thoughts?
