528 days of consistent, mindful practice has payed off, Gannon. The rightmost figure on page one is beautifully weighted.
These are really great! You’re nailing the angles, which is a difficult thing to do. Really solid construction here.
Been a minute.
These look fantastic, Gannon. Truly impressive. The rhythms and balance, the form work. It’s so solid. Tremendous stuff.

Five and Ten minute sketches. It's my first time picking up a brush in about a week and I felt a little rusty.
These feel like finished works in a lot of ways. They have so much to take in. The colors are evocative and your choices in which forms to highlight are inviting visually. I enjoy the abstractions offered here too. They’re quite striking, Gannon.
Great gestures! Those figures in space though; they have me really impressed. Such an excellent practice and so valuable. Awesome stuff!
I’m a sucker for monochromatic studies and these are awesome! I like how you’re painting the shadow as form. It’s elegant and exciting to look at. Really great!
Wow. Lots to love here! Great weight to these. The delimitation of form is wonderful. You’ve captured the movement of dance so firmly with these. Beautiful work!

Still working out how best to combine space and gesture. 10 minutes is a pretty short duration for these
I really like where this is going. It feels essential to drawing from any imaginary angle. Really cool!

Sooooooo I missed a day yesterday. I've been charging through a bunch of deadlines and got so caught up in it that I forgot until I was already in bed.
Getting right back on the horse with a few two minute sketches.
It was bound to happen eventually. Even Superman oversleeps sometimes. It was never about the streak anyways; it's about the habit, the practice, and the phenomenal progress you've made. Great energy in these btw. You'll always be the Ironman of Proko to me, Gannon.
