Learning the landmarks for anatomy was tough. I took my time and tried my best to find the landmarks on each body. I am going to continue to practice but here are my attempts so far.
Feedback is always welcome!

Third attempt, I pushed darks much closer and I tried to make the highlights pop up much more.

Here are my attempts for this assignment. Did some warm ups of boxes and cylinders than the animals. I wasn’t happy with the eagle one but decided to show it anyway.
@Rachel Dawn Owens I have a question, It felt more natural for me to construct forms using boxes and cylinder's compared to beans and gesture.
is that normal part of the learning process like a sort of stepping stone?
or could this indicate that I naturally lean more toward construction based thinking vs gesture first approaches?
just curious if this is something others experience too, or if it might be a sign of my drawing instincts leaning a certain way? Thanks so much in advance! You’re the best. 😊

Some people find gesture easier, some people find structure easier.
It’s natural to lean one way or the other and it can become part of your voice as you develop.
You still want to want to learn both gesture and structure in order to improve.
People who think more analytically seem to have an easier time with the constructive stuff.
You can’t overthink gesture drawing. Have fun with it and don’t worry so much about getting them ‘right’.
And these are amazing structural animal drawings! There’s a ton of depth here. Bringing forms forward with heavier lineweight is a pro move.
Great job!!

Decided to do it in pen so I can commit to my lines since I can’t erase pen. I notice I was a bit faster in my 2 minute attempt cause I remembered the forms from the four minute attempt which makes them look almost similar.
the 30 secs down to the 5 seconds was tough and had to forget about shapes and just try to get a “glimpse” of the truck on paper.
overall had fun! :D
Probably one of the hardest exercises I’ve done. It’s hard to get them nice like Stan does it especially doing these while learning the overhand for about a week now.
so I apologize if my lines are shaky it’s cause I’m learning the overhand grip.
any feedback is welcome please 🙏🏻

After graduating college, I got this course as a gift :)
gesture is harder than I thought and I decided to do the overhand grip which makes it harder lol. I stuck with it for a week and here are my recent results so far.
couple things I learned this week:
1. I made the mistake of doing 30 second gesture as warm ups. I decided to do 3 minutes of 2 - 3 poses as warm ups before doing the 2 minutes and than the 30 seconds. Worked way better.
2. using the overhand grip felt really weird this week. It felt like I was learning how to write lol. But I stuck through and I’m starting to get an idea of how to use it. Also I tried sharpening it with a blade and idk if I’m doing it right lol.
3. for anyone that’s feeling discouraged or upset, I understand cause I feel those feelings as well but I remind myself that I’m learning. You will improve, just practice, feel the flow, move your whole arm, watch Stan videos again and watch how he moves his whole arm. Take breaks!
lastly, feedback is always welcome! I use proko free gesture pack for some of these gestures btw.
