Inspired by @Sol Art! and his 30 day challenge I will be attempting to do over the entire course. I have already completed around 61% of the course before over a longgg time. Forgot things on and off while also trying to complete. Thought this would be nice to review the things in earlier lessons and finally just complete the thing! I am giving myself 47 days to hopefully cushion the blow of any possible burnout. Also I will not be studying at all on Sundays to give myself at least one day to absorb everything I'm cramming in my brain. Technically because of that the amount of days I will be studying will be 41 days. Did the tracing lesson today! Super helpful to track my progress for when the challenge ends as well. I will do a before and after of the tracings for sure! So down below is what I know at this moment, definitely not satisfied considering I have forgotten a lot of stuff and also I am not confident about where I'm placing everything. There are some areas where I know almost nothing as well, such as the forearms, and some parts of the legs. I hope putting this here will help encourage me!

I drew a dog skeleton, which pairs nicely with the cat skeleton I drew earlier. While reading through references, I noticed that the structural logic of a dog’s skull is actually somewhat similar to that of humans. Basic components like the zygomatic bone and the upper and lower jaws have clear counterparts. The differences in proportions and features between breeds are also quite interesting. Next time I’d like to try drawing a low-slung dachshund as well. This drawing had a bit of a rough fate. Right before finishing it, I accidentally spilled coffee on the paper. So I went with it and brushed on a toned background to give it an aged look. Almost all the lines had to be redrawn from scratch. At that moment my mood was probably as wrinkled as the paper itself.

Just as the title said. will show my "sketch" and the ref i used. Thx in advance.

Hi everyone, I need your help. I've been studying head structure and some of its anatomy because I want to do a portrait of someone with their head in an unusual position, but I can't get the likeness right and the proportions are off. I also want to capture the facial expression. I don't know if I'm doing it right; I'm honestly a little desperate. I hope someone can help me. I would really appreciate it.

I did a crow / raven study another one for the bird series. The way the wing feather groups are divided is so interesting. There’s also a strong connection between the feather structure and the underlying bones, which made me revisit the idea of “form follows function” once again. Every time I draw animals, it never feels like enough—once I finish, I want to do another. While researching, I realized crows and ravens are actually very similar in many ways. But they also hide plenty of subtle differences ravens are generally larger, and their tail feathers tend to be more pointed. Nature is full of clever, rich variations.

This is some drawings I made while studying anatomy, I made a mistake along the way so a lot of the muscle placement is wrong but hey, it looks cool

I tried this after watch the video on the lower back. Any thoughts

I made this drawing showing my current knowledge learned from the anatomy course. I'm trying to figure out if I missed something. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

Here’s a study of a running dog. While drawing, I noticed how interesting the differences are between trotting, walking, and full-speed running. The shifts in weight through the legs, the moments of suspension, and the rhythm of the paws hitting the ground all feel distinct. Just observing that makes me want to draw a few more studies.

Something like the attached image, but covering more expressions.

Hey all, im having difficulty with rotating the 3d models in the Sketchfab viewer. On a tablet, is it only possible to rotate the model with 1 finger, or zoom in/out with 2 fingers? I feel like theres missing a way to tilt the model. In the past , i could do a kind of tilt by first putting one finger on the screen, after that you could use a second finger to flip the model backwards or forwards. But maybe that was in a different software program.. Now it seems i cant view models from every desired angle which is getting frustrating.

I need a pair of fresh eyes on these. I’ve been working with the anatomy course on my own so far but I want to get better faster than trial and error stuff so please help

It seems that in every reference I've seen, crotch is below the middle. Is it some kind of trick of perspective?

How is this curved structure formed? Rectus abdominis doesn't go sideway like this, right? Is it the oblique? But oblique shouldn't 'flow into' abdominis like this...?

Haven’t been on proko in quite a while. Was looking for my courses I purchased probably 5 to 6 years ago and can’t seem to find them. If I could get some help that would be much appreciated

This time I drew a hippopotamus, and I’m looking forward to tackling its skeleton next. Another one added to my African animals series While researching, I found out that hippos don’t actually swim. They move underwater by pushing off the riverbed with their short legs, almost like floating!

Tell me how I did with proportions.

I hope this is the right section, sorry if it isn't I'd like to ask a question to those more experienced about portraiture or, in general, the creation of a human face. Now, maybe the question is stupid, but I have this doubt and I would be grateful if you could answer. Now, I've learned the Loomis method, starting from the circle and so on to create the head. I've seen and studied the facial planes and done other studies, then I discover that in the end, many artists, when creating the head, start directly from a shape and then add the various facial features, perhaps to create characters. Now my question is, what was the point of studying Loomis and the various methods if I could start directly from the shapes? How do I connect the various methods together? I mean, I'm a bit confused about this and I'd like someone expert to clarify my ideas. I hope there's someone here on Proko willing to help me. I hope I've been clear on the question. Sorry if that's not the case. Thanks everyone for the answer in advance.

This is a drawing of the vixxen and KI legend B. Orchid. I used a reference to study the pose I wanted and began with a gesture, CSI, and build the form to this final rendition. I added some shadow mapping with the goal of adding value. material: paper 11x14, 4B pencil, Kneaded eraser. Any feedback appreciated.
