I gave myself a goal on Oct 1, 2022 to wake up early and just draw or do a tutorial for a month and I haven’t stopped. I look forward to it everyday.

I didn't had the time to do captain skull, at least here is my drawing of the camel.

T first time I did this assignment I was just “drawing” and a line was a line and it tense and chicken scratch (those are the ones by themselves on a single page) and then I attempted it again on newsprint and I really tried to focus on being loose and try to let the lines flow. I still have a lot of work to do but I think they came out better when I just let go. I did the turtle as a warm up and definitely couldn’t help but copy Stan’s solution.

I really like this warm up. I just got my first iPad so digital is very new and awkward to me and exercise this really helped. I’ll keep this up both digitally and traditionally

Here is a drawing of my own ear from a picture I took. I am not super happy with it, but it is okay.

Finally got to finish my second attempt on the level 2 portrait after watching the demo. 1st attempt was before the demo.

A bit disappointed that I posted my drawings in the comments instead of the assignment tab but it was great to see everyone else's work and learn from the critique.

When you can't decide on Level 1 or Level 2. I thought it might be fun to try it on gray paper. Everyone's work is inspiring! Happy to be learning with you all!

For people doing this in Procreate, I'm curious, which brushes are you using?

I’m wondering the same thing. I’m having trouble using procreate. It just doesn’t feel right, I have to push so hard and sometimes nothing even shows up or it’s so faint.

I really enjoyed this assignment and felt like simplifying really made me look at every detail and not just draw what I think the pear or portrait should look like. I usually don’t look at the values as much as well so I felt like this was very helpful in slowing down and observing. (I posted this yesterday in the comments but I’m not sure if posting under assignments is the same thing so disregard if so)

Ok I’m done with the pears…. Well that is until Stan has us add gradient to these which would be cool to see what happens! I finished up the last 2 pears yesterday and this morning and I attached all my drawings from this assignment. I really enjoyed this! Simplifying made everything more manageable and really made me look at what was really there not what I thought a pear should look like. I would love some feedback.

I was wondering if y'all think it's beneficial to do both assignment levels for this one since it's basically to have a "before" drawing. I'm definitely a level one and am not planning on doing the level 2 assignments this time around anyways. And don't want to discourage myself with something too hard. But also like to have an insight into my starting point. What are your thoughts on this?

Hi to the awesome Proko community! After a while away, I'm finally restarting the Figure Drawing Fundamentals course. I feel pretty rusty on gesture, though practice is helping. Would anybody be willing to help steer me in the right direction on what needs to be improved in my gesture drawings? Is there too little form? Are the lines too messy? Am I focusing too much on detail? I'm sorry for the poor photo quality, especially on a few of these...I'm at somebody else's house, and I'm afraid to use charcoal in case I get it on any of their stuff...so I used a Prismacolor Ebony pencil for a few. Thanks a bunch :)

Oh boy, first assignment time! I'm just a beginner but so far I feel like my pace is closer to the intermediate, I'm like level 1.5! Well, what to do? I guess I'll just draw a beautiful peartrait ;)) Shading was done with 2B and F (Which stands for F-You-Proko-F-Is-A-Good-Pencil (peardon my french)).

Not sure I'll finish the portrait as I'm not feeling confident that my skills are there yet especially after doing the pear. :) Felt like the further I went the worse it got. I found myself wanting to blend the lines for smoother transitions. Much harder than anticipated.

Give it a shot! The lay-in looks great!

i did it! Woohoo! I really liked this assignment. I loved simplifying the shapes, values and edges! I found that extremely helpful! Before the class started I drew the pear and portrait and it’s like night and day! I don’t consider myself a creative person at all because I have aphantasia (I can’t picture images in my head) so simplifying made it more manageable and less overwhelming. I also found finding the values was easier in the portrait. I did 2 attempts on the pear which I posted earlier and I’m going to call it done on the portrait.

I’ll chip in some of my attempts. Graphite, charcoal and markers. Couldn’t find any decent reference so went with the one provided. Not yet confident to try portrait.
