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.

Art goal - is to be consistent and gradually improve while focusing on portraits. I’m all about the long game! And also I would love to feel comfortable drawing in front of people, and tell my friends I’m finally learning how to draw!

Looking back at my computer every 5 minutes to see if Stan has released the new lesson on perspective.
jk.. kind of.. just patiently sketching in the meantime.

DrawAbox is also a great source to help with learning perspective.

Thanks for the encouragement! I’m not sure how I missed this the 17+ times I watched the explanation of gesture but when you spoke about finding the connections in the body in the critique video that really clicked for me. I’m going to keep practicing!

hi y'all, HELP PLEASE. Where are level 1 people supposed to quit? I missed where the stopping point is. Here's 3 hrs & 2 tries & I can't find the forrest OR the trees! I haven't missed any lessons, done all the assignments, draw on my own, etc & this is way beyond me. Don't get me wrong, I want to learn how to draw people, but this is crazy. What am I doing wrong? Thank y'all for all the help

Is there anyone out there that can help me. Numbers 12, 14, 17,18? How on earth do you make them dynamic?? Mine just look like flat boring blobs
2mo
Are they dynamic? No. Have I been practicing? Yes. Trying to use my whole arm and improve line quantity but it’s a lot to think about all at once.

I’m getting pretty frustrated with this assignment. How can I draw gestural if I can’t even draw a seal? I’m trying to use my whole arm here but my lines are all over the place searching and never finding where they need to go. I’ll keep trying. And I keep thinking about the course moving on to quick sketch next. Yikes

Before I watched the demo I was lost. I didn’t get it. Stan makes it look so easy, as if he nails it on the first pass and I can’t do that and then I realized I need to go real light until I find my way and I learned so much watching the demo. I want to do all of these but I’m lost on number 12 and 14? If anyone can help with those. How do you make those shapes dynamic?

do we have to Master something before we can move on to another video lesson?🤔
I was watching your video lesson and I'm practicing drawing accurate proportions for 7 days straight, and I feel like I was making a small progress but I'm getting used to it. But, should I master matching the proportions first before I move on? or it is okay to move on to another video?
Any answers will be appreciated!❤️

Im catching up as well. He says in the dynamic shapes lesson that we will always need to practice proportions and dynamic shapes. I need to work on them as well and and will continue doing so but I’m moving on with the course 👍🏻

I’m glad I figured out how to overlay because at first I was very pleased with how the musketeer came out but I can see I was way off on the width because I eyeballed that part.
and I did the demo with Stan and that was a disaster so I tried again with another portrait and I’m getting better but I need to measure more and drop more plumb lines and look for more relations. I’m going to keep practicing these, they are annoying but fun in a sick way.

I did this assignment again and it’s starting to click. I was having trouble starting with light and loose lines and breaking them down into simple shapes really helped. I then sort of piggy backed this assignment with the last with the master study and copied some work from Mitch Leeuwe used this technique and I’m noticing my line quality improving. Very fun! Critiques always appreciated!

Dürer, a pillow in ink. I made a mess of it. Probably not the best subject for me to tackle at this stage but it was an interesting exercise.

Inspired by the video I searched for Roberto de la Torre and found this horse … below you can see the original and my raggedy version 😂

Catching up with a quick study of Roberto De La Torre's Conan ink. 4b graphite on cheap-o printer paper (I need to prioritize my sketchbook more, the printer paper texture started fighting me toward the end.) Can't wait to do a bunch more of these, love Roberto's brush work! I really got a lot out of trying to replicate brush lines with graphite.
