200 mannequin challenge critique
1yr
@alyssus
Hey guys, happy new years! For this December I proposed to myself that I would draw 200 mannequins as a way to improve my figure drawing and construction skills. I thought it would be a good idea since I had just gotten to the mannequin lesson in Proko's figure drawing fundamentals course and felt like it was a good stopping point to hone my skills thus far so in every session I did 30 minutes of gesture drawing followed by some mannequins. Sadly I ended up on the last day with 38 figures remaining due to not drawing at all in the days near Christmas, but I managed to pull through! In the imgur album are all my mannequins and all my relevant thoughts about the challenge. I'd really appreciate critique and feedback on this challenge as I'm feeling a bit demoralized with the results. Looking at the images I cannot notice much improvement and I feel like I put a lot of effort in for results I cannot appreciate. Please tell me what I could have done better, what I'm missing and what I should do in the future. I'm seeking to master construction and perspective before any other subject and I don't know what I should be doing. I was thinking of finishing Figure drawing fundamentals and then moving onto the Portrait drawing fundamentals. I already have these 2 bought and I can't afford the new Proko beginner course. Any other recommendations or paths to follow would be highly appreciated. Thank you for reading this far! The album in question: https://imgur.com/a/Nr4Ox4Z

haha great looking thru it, congrats. I like your ideas and style (88 and the likes where you do leg feet stuff were really interesting), some look a pinch awkward but what else can I say? hard work and pieces to be proud for some time! I'll leave more serious critique to the people that will know better. happy new year!
