Here's the highlight of my daily 30 minute "2min gesture" practices. I am using a easel and charcoal pencil to really help me capture the rythym.

2022/3/16. Good morning everybody. Here’s some hi lights from my daily 30 minutes warming up exercise. 2 mins poses. Thanks and have a good day.

2022/3/15. Good morning everybody. Here’s my daily 30 minutes warming up exercise exercise. Studying the body and the head proportions in Japanese manga. Thanks.

I am struggling to find the motion in Anthony's right arm. I would appreciate a helping hand. I have been studying and practicing gesture for the last month or so, and I am really impressed with my work. I noticed when I was starting out, I was "outlining" the model instead of actually feeling the motion of the form. The first 2 pictures are my months work of endless practice, completed under 2 mins. I still got a lot more practice ahead of me, but I am always willing to improve.

Before I did my 2 minute poses, I did some poses without a time limit which I think really helped me analyze the figure and be more careful with my lines. I'm still not great at this, but I feel that I can improve a lot if I keep on doing this. Any sort of advice or critique is very useful to me right now.

Thanks Stan! This is much appreciated.

I took my time with this and did a combination of exercises: firstly, I captured the gesture on my own, than I tried to improve on it by studying the one from Proko. Secondly, I tried to get the Robo Bean / main structure of the torso (again first from testing, than correcting it by tracing). And thirdly I did a muscle tracing as far as I knew the muscles by using the 3d models and lectures from the anatomy course and learning one new muscle segment each day. Did this for several days / weeks in a row and it really helped me improve my understanding a great Deal. These are my favourites. Oh and today I also did an only-gesture session.

Here's a couple of my 2 min sketches. The biggest problem I am facing is that I am having a hard time locating the main action line within the model. Especially when facing the back.

I've been doing Gesture exercises for around 50 days and I feel my drawing for both this course and my hobby is surprisingly improved, I really want to tell thanks to Proko and the people in this community. Still, I can't feel what gesture is and my lines look dirty although I always try to make them clear and stable as ones did in examples and the critiques video, Probably I use a pencil the wrong way, or just because of bad controlling of my hands? Any critiques are welcomed!

Marcia so damn gorgeous. Sweet can of golden, kernel corn! I had such a difficult time capturing the expression of her body because of her distracting "details". I.. I think I'm in love... But other than that, solid sketching session! This time I did the examples by myself, then watched how Stan went along sketching the models. I feel really confident about these. I can see myself improving, which is truly inspiring. There are a lot of things I like and dislike about my sketches, that of which I know what to work on and what to keep. I honestly thought jumping back to the gesture lesson was going to be boring, but I had such a fun time revisiting this lesson! Such an important concept that shouldn't be overlooked and that should be regularly practiced. So keep up the hard work comrades, it'll all be worth it in the end.

hola everybody! this is supposed to be a quick sketch but the right arnm is getting me crazy due to foreshortening. i had drawn it a dozen of times and its getting worse and worse. how would u do it? it does not need to be precise, just some shape which gives the idea. thanks!

These are my last batch of structure practices. Any feedback would be appreciated. I feel like I understand the fundamental ideas of structure but my work could probably be improved in a lot of ways.

Here's another shot at "Mannequinization". I took a week to study the gesture a little more, and jumped right into this assignment. Each drawing took me about an hour to complete. I'm afraid that I might be drawing what I see rather than relying on feeling, but I really wanted to take the time to analyze the body and break it down into basic shapes. I appreciate feedback, and thank you in advance for taking the time out of your day to view my sketches!

Hello, So here are my mannequin sketches. I drew them on my own, then compared the result with Proko's sketches. Some of them look similar, others not so much. Sorry for the messiness, i used a pen to draw these. If you see anything that could be improved/corrected, feel free to let me know. Thanks :)

Hello! I have done this drawing, any feedbacks are welcom. Thanks :D!

why is drawing so f'n hard jeez she look damn ET with those alien arms LOL

Hello all. I layed in my next longer drawing and I thought I share it here. After establishing proportions and gesture I added structure and at this state it's almost a mannequin 🤖🦾🦿
