A few done here, but more to come soon. I really appreciate how what we learned in the previous lessons (rhythms, perspective) seem to add up here almost immediately. I don't know if the result shows it here, but it feels like they combine effortlessly in this lesson.

Busy week, but had time to get a bit of practise in. Will do more and post here even after the deadline. Here, I went for: a double decker bus, a monster truck out of nowhere (with steamroll wheels, it was a mistake, but I went with it for fun) and, from the top of my head too, Axel from the Twisted Metal series of video game (the guy stuck between two wheels). Went for his Twisted Metal Black iteration where only the arms and a missile rack hold the wheels together. All quick ones except the monster truck who, coincidently, was my favorite to figure out.

Will do more than this because even with references (I have hands too), it's hard to get right.

A box warmup with a first attempt at the first image of the project.

A question, if you will. I praticed the Y trick and boxes (will do more, but I'm short on time right now) and a point is nagging me ever since I knew what three point perspective was years ago: when something is both under and above the horizon line, what do you do? I know Stan briefly touched this in the video, but I can't find an answer else that four points and curvilinear perspective. Does it mean that you must now absolutely deal with four points or you have a certain wiggle room where you can keep it at three without breaking perspective? Can you even use a point above and a point below independently from each other? Sorry if it's a question beyond the scope of the course, I was just curious and thinking constantly about this.

Had time to try the technique at work (white paper and forgot how Steve looked like without reference, so here's a creeper) and later on by following Stan's demo and from a different angle (leading to making a fallen giant).

I'll get some more pratice in on that topic. Seeing the demo makes me realise that I exagerate the major angles too much, which is throwing me off. Also, making some of the big planes of the head too wide aswell. Will post when I can get to it.

Some more heads I did a bit ago. A big hurdle I'm facing is head 2. As you can see, I tried it three times already and I'm not going to stop there since it still feels wrong. I think I keep forgeting to check the distance from the front plane to the ear and keep elongating the head. But even then, I still get it wrong as can be seen on the head in red.

Compared my boxes with those of Stan's demo to see where I stand. There is a lot from what I see, especially in a project where subtlety is important.

Three more level 2 heads. I think I'm getting the hang of it, but I'm not sure. The results seem good, I just don't know if that's the right assumption.

Hi there. I finally caught up with the course as it gets released! I started in june so yeah, it took awhile, but I didn't want to rush things. I'll go back to the previous lessons, that are done already, here and there to pratice some more. That being said, here's the first sessions I did between two days. It's not an easy one for sure. I'm still not sure about the right angles for which pose, but I'll go more in depth in the coming days. Something about the 3 points being used for some angles throw me off, aswell as some chins being tough to define correctly (on portrait 12, you can see I felt the need to define a plane between the chin and the neck, as I was getting confused). Also, I see that the proportions are off on the level 2 portraits, but I wonder if it's because I'm trying to stick to the proportions of the boxes, thus leading to a more squared head.

Did the book stack before watching the warmup video, but man it's an exercice in keeping clean lines and not crowding areas too much. I'll definitely use this warmup for thinking about every lines and for getting back into perspective. Also, so close with the books. I almost had clean enough line if only I didn't decide to pass again on the extended lines going to their vanishing points with colored pencils. After that, I tried with thumbnails so I had to think about clean lines so it can read well. I think that worked well. But hey, let me say Stan, add me to the list of those who like perspective. Sure, I see the restriction when you limit yourself to these guidelines, but trying to get this concept right and then going intuitive really gets me excited about the effect it can have on a composition.

Hi again, this is my illustration for the level 2 segment of this project. No photo references were used, but I did take notes on some of the displays at my local drug store (I think that's how you call it in english, it's like a small grocery store with gas pumps outside, except mine doesn't have any). Then, I just had to extrude forms that reminded me of what I noted. I think I got the sense of depth better that with the level 1 drawing, but it still feels to me that I could have done better. I'm just not sure where (line quality could be better for sure, but that's a given that I keep telling myself on every projects).

Hi there, this is my submission for the level 1 assignement! To be honest, I forgot that their were two levels, but still ended up doing two drawings, one for each level. Mostly had difficulties with showing depth, even with juxtaposition. Tried to use line quality to show it better, but it doesn't seem to stand out well enough. All done before watching the demo.

After initial frustration it turned out to be a super pleasant aasignement :) Did you have similar feelings about it guys :)? PS. Sorry for the quality of the photos

Hi there! This assignement was done in a couple of small sessions due to the avaliable time in those moments. That being said, I wanted to do the poses randomly, 5 minutes each, until they were all done. I'm going to watch the demos and to them all again to see if I can improve from them. That being said: a fun and very "puts you in the mood" kind of exercice.

Congratulations to all the winners! This was a very difficult one to judge because there were way more amazing submissions than prizes. And if I counted correctly, there are 105 prizes... We will be adding all the digital prizes to your accounts within the next few days. For those that won prizes that require shipping, we will reach out to you.

You know what theme fits with a comic pose? Did you say "Christmas", like Santa and elves in an action pose? Probably not, but that's what I read so... Merry Christmas (Xmas, Hanukkah, Monday, or any other names you use for that day) everyone! Also, thank you to the team at Proko for the 12 days of challenges, livestreams (almost everyday, but hey that's ok) and fun that you've offered, aswell as the timer tool for practice.

Hi there! I don't know for you, but this one was very enjoyable. To begin while thinking that the subjects (sea lion and seal) are simple enough and then as you think about making them more dynamic, you see the details, the structure underneath their body. Those moments of realising that there is more that meets the eye on a subject and going "What do I do with that?" are so much fun. It's like adding more layers to a puzzle: it can be an extension of your plan or it seems to throw it off completly. That's why there is many attempts with the references, notes and some imagined poses: I wanted to get the mix between the soft feel, due to the fat on the animals, and the hard forms, like the head, right enough. Only thing: I still don't know which is a sea lion and which is a seal (same thing with dromadaries and camels). The first images are pictures showing the complete pages and the two last ones are scans. I was having a hard time getting the whole pages on the scan since it seems to be just a little too small for 9 x 12 inches sketchbooks. Also, this was done before seeing the demo. Will check soon.

Had time for another attempt. Confidence was not showing through here. Mannequinization is far from being something I grasp well and I believe that shows through in the rough lines laid here. But still, it was an attempt and it shows that there is much to be done.
