Daily Drawing With Timer Challenge
3yr
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.
22nd Day of Proko and counting.
Really like the weight of these. They feel substantial. And i like how you're including the core shadow on the right. Helps define the figure nicely. Really solid structure throughout too.
When I try to draw without reference, its still hard to start. Difficult to setup the pelvis, torso and anatomy parts. So I'll try to do fast (intuitive) -> slow (analyze) and see if that helps
Okay enough break is enough, time to get back to studies!
10 minute drawings from reference, red conté in toned-gray notebook (5.5 x 8.5)
My sincere apologies to all of you here as I have failed to remain active in this thread for a long time now. Life happened and I found myself struggling to even log in to Proko or do our daily drawing practices. I was doing some sessions then and there but I am guilty of procrastinating to post them. I see old friends here who kept on posting and I feel bad for not making time to keep on encouraging you guys. Posting on this thread regularly helped my art journey a lot and I will try to be more regular in future. Posting today’s practice.
Heyy Jyayasi! Welcome back! No worries. I also took a break for quite a while now. Sometimes life do get in the way, sometimes it is also good to have a break in studies.
These blocks and cylinders are solid!
More 'daily' practice, though it's been weeks, I really should do this daily for a bit! Mostly 3 minutes though I took a little longer on some later ones.
3:30 timed figures, on 24 x 18 newsprint with lyra graphite crayon... A little hard to photograph, I'll do charcoal next time!
I haven't been posting like I should, but I do still practice these several times a week if not daily anymore. Two minute warmups on these.
Yup, this wrapping lines will really help improve our eyes and hands in incorporating perspective into our figures!
These are fantastic! I really like how you are defining the individual forms and visually attaching them together with the gestural flow you're finding.
1-2-5 min figures
Awesome work. Thinking about bumping my gesture drawings up to at least 2 minutes. My 1 minute and 30 second attempts are close to unreadable.
