Daily Drawing With Timer Challenge
7mo
Gannon Beck
I enjoyed the habit of drawing everyday during the 12 Days of Proko. The timer tool is great and there are lots of professional photos to work from. I took one day off from it and got right back on it. Now the habit is a fixture in my daily routine.
I've been posting the images in the two week challenge thread in the Drawing Fundamentals Course, but since a.) this will be a longer habit than two weeks and b.) not everyone on Proko is enrolled in that course, I'm starting a thread here.
Anyone inclined, feel free to join in. Use the timer and whatever photos you have packs for, or are freely available.
Here are a few two minute sketches from me--mostly from the Viking Volume 2 Pack.

The elegance of your leg lines never cease to amaze me.

Busy day and I'm tired, so it's just a couple two minute sketches tonight. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

I appreciate how you continuously give to this habit; even when you’re all tapped out. These look great, too!

Two minute and five minute sketches plus one untimed sketch from imagination using the inking brush pack from Proko.
That last one is from imagination?! Wow. That is something so way beyond my skills, it feels like magic. The man in the portrait really has personality too.

Your construction skills are on point as ever. Love the imagined portrait. Has a noble air about them.
I like your 1m poses here, they have a nice looseness to them.
How are you liking working on a tablet? What's the hardest part for you?

Two minute sketches for today. I just realized that I skipped a week and I'm not even sure what happened... life, I guess ;)

These are great! You are really capturing the poses nicely and hand ling the foreshortening and folded limbs nicely ' And life happens to the best of us, haha..

I really love these. The back study on the last page is so delicate but yet so dimensional. Really great!

5min - So; I bought an iPad. Here are my first attempts at harnessing a wildly new, and overwhelming, medium for drawing. If anyone has any tips on how to get more comfortable drawing digitally, I’d love to hear them!
I find that I very quickly fall pray to the Command Z / two finger tap trap. It's so easy to just keep undoing and undoing and in the end you're never happy anyway. Traditional drawing has a finality to it that digital doesn't - in a way it's the biggest pro and con.
Now that I wrote that, I wonder if there is a setting in Procreate where one can fully disable the undo option.

Nice! Welcome to the club.
One tip is to find some brushes that you like. I have bought both the inking brushes and charcoal brushes here on Proko and I like them. The one advice on that is to work with each brush for a while before you decide if it's for you or not. I almost don't like any brush when I first try it.

Two minute figures for warming up today. The summers are a time management challenge for me, therefore I'm doing a lot of two minute sketches just to keep the habit in place. I'll expand the sessions when I'm on the other side of the busy period.
That said, I'm pretty happy with what skills I can reinforce with two minute drawings. It doesn't take much.

I did a bunch of figure studies this morning and accidentally delated them. Talk about drawing for the trash can.
Here are head studies between two to four minutes each.

Not quite there yet, but I'm making progress on the portrait front.

I think what you meant to say was that you are making AWESOME progress on the portrait front! She and I share the same birthday. I knew who it was right away too. Nice job and I dig the colors as well! Keep going don't ever stop ever!!! No matter what!!!

There is so much here! The second and third pages have beautiful lines especially. I like how you’re finding the features of the head too.

Great job, Phil!

These are great. It looks to me like you remember the names better than I do. A good reminder that I need to revisit the lesson.

I started out doing two minute sketches, but hit pause on this one for some reason and spent a bit more time on it. I lost track of exactly how much.

I’m glad you did! The texture of the hair is excellent. I see dimensionality and lighting really popping these forms out of the page. Your use of the gray background is really nice too.

I can see your proportion and placement really kicking in here. Fantastic, especially for two minutes!

Experimenting with supplies a little. I've just started using Arches watercolor paper and I love it so much more than the other papers I've tried. I still need to figure out the best way to approach these little watercolor portraits, but at least I've got a solution for the paper.
