Sorry i don't understand, in the lesson Character Line-Up at the end of the video the final process it's done in traditional, but in this lesson at the begining the greyscale work it's done in digital, how I do this? there is no explanation it just happens. Thx
I think they are in the wrong order. Watch Silhouettes and Shapecarving videos before this one.

Could someone write me a SCHEDULE for beginners? I have a lot of free time now. thx
I do one subject at a time. So right now I'm doing perspective. All my time and energy are spent learning that subject. But it just depends on how you learn . Some people would get bored and unfocussed with my regiment. Others like me wouldn't be able focused or retain info training a different topic each day.
hi martin, if my schedule works for you then feel free to use it. I start by warming up for 1 hour by learning and going through the foundations (proportions, gesture, structure and perspective). Then after warming up, I focus most of my time on what my main "goal" would be for the day, week or month e.g. if i want to get better at drawing the eye, i will spend my overall drawing time learning the forms, casts and anatomy of the eye.
after spending a few of hours on my main "goal" i might take a 1 to 2 hour break to refresh my mind.
if i feel like i want to draw more, then i might learn how to shade or sort out my values (though its up to you what you would want to learn).
and that's pretty much it.
sorry if that didn't make any sense.
hopefully it was helpful and good luck on your art journey.
chao 😀.

Well, it never gets easier, in a good way. You gotta understand that studying human anatomy is one of the most difficult things ever to do as a artist so don't beat yourself up.
Before giving any advice, how much time did you spend on each of this drawings? and is it possible to see better quality pics? Just saying, its a little rough heh. Also, imo there is a component of construction to gesture drawing, yes, but like @Synthia Lillendandie said if you wanna focus on construction then do that, but if its gesture then focus on just eye balling things, not tying to measure everything all the time helps too.
To loosen myself up and keep the art anxiety at bay i do VERY short timed gestures. From 30 seconds to 2 minutes max, that forces you to improvise on the spot, and also forces you to filter out what's most important to the gesture and what provides more visual information with the least amount of work or in this case in the least amount of time.
TLDR keep going lol, it gets better the more you do it
No se si hablaras español por tu nombre jeje la verdad me la juego, que no se me da bien el ingles. La calidad de las imagenes por ahora es esta no tengo un celular mejor y por cada dibujo diría que me tomo de 2 min a 10 min diría yo, el tema que me puede la imaciencia , recien llevo 5 dias dibujando despues de mucho tiempo...
Sometimes it is easier to focus on one thing at a time. When I practiced gesture drawing, it helped to focus more on pushing the post and the gestural quality, while worrying about the anatomy less. Other times I would focus more on the anatomy and construction. It's tough for beginners to do both of these things well at the same time. That's why I recommend breaking things down and setting one intention at a time until you feel you're getting a grasp on things. Also, have you tried 'the bean' and 'robo bean' lessons from Proko on YouTube? That's another way you can build structure in the body. If you're learning something new, give yourself time. :) Pushing yourself always feels uncomfortable at first, but you can grow.
