I’ll try to do some more tomorrow
Not too happy with these, but hey, it's still practice

A bunch of 2’s and a 10. I couldn’t really think of a character, but maybe he is ‘happy thick- limbed undies guy’

I tried to start with some force lines and find some rhythms, then put cubes and boxes over that. Even tried the pelvis structure- that thing hurts my brain. I would like to do more but I’m already up way past my bedtime. 12,17 minutes.

This one really got away from me. 25 minutes
Some 2’s and some 6-15’s. Fun one!

The livestream was excellent- thanks guys!
I felt I understood it clearly, then when I started the timer old habits took over and I forgot everything I just learned. Managed to rein it in a little on some three minute gestures.

Ink and water, 20 minutes. The grey ink was a lot lighter than I recall it being. Oh well.

I had about an hour to draw today- not enough to take an anatomy course! I have a rough idea of what the bones and muscles look like, but is there a better way to represent them in one drawing? Were we meant to actually draw the bones? When I darkened the muscles, the bones disappeared and then vice versa ad infinitum.

This was the first assignment in the basics course, 11 months ago. Of course, there’s still a long way to go, but I can now get a better likeness in 25 minutes than I could in 2 hours at that time.

This challenge is really hard. I am a master at avoiding hands in my drawings :). This is why worked through Proko's course Anatomy of the hands, which was soooo helpful. I did some assignments from that course, therefore my drawings are very Proko style ;-). I learned a lot, but there is still a long way to go to draw hands without guidance. I really enjoyed facing this challenge.

Five five minutes, a fifteen, and a twenty:

Hands are a lot easier to draw if they’re claws.

I spent 15 of the 25 minutes on the flippers.

Great Assignment! Did all in overhand grip - stilll not used to it. What is the problem with regular people grip? :|
I am also currently studying Glenn Vilppu's dynamic gesture drawing and had taken beginner's force gesture drawing from Mike earlier. So, including Stan's method, tried to compare all three methods and then tried to use them in my own way but mostly focussing on Stan's method - started with Glenn's flowy lines for gesture, then did the shapes with Stan's method and aimed (unsuccessfully) to put line weights based on Mike's force gesture (I blame overhand grip and my inability to think before I put weight on the line). It was fun!

It’s been six months since I’ve been to a life drawing session, now I’m excited to go again and try using what I’ve learned here.

This exercise was very challenging and fun.
The drawings attached were done in a couple of sessions using A4 paper and a 2B pencil. My goals were to try and use the overhand grip as much as possible, to get reasonable proportions and to find connections. Some of the drawings were quicker than others, but in general i tried to get the main lines in under 5 minutes.
The good:
- Proportions are not too bad, only in the 2nd attempt of pose #10 i measured in more detail because the first attempt i went over the paper.
- I tried to find connections and flow between body parts in some cases, i left in lines connecting them to show my thinking process.
The bad:
- I'm not happy with the line quality, obviously need to work on that.
- The gesture could be more exaggerated, for example pose #7, attempt #4 i could have him leaning back more, and the right leg should be bent more (i had the most trouble with this pose).

You’ve done really well with applying the idea of rhythms! I especially like 14 for capturing the feeling of the pose, 17 for the balance, and 24 for the sense of form.
