Daily Drawing With Timer Challenge
9mo
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.

Did these yesterday, but posted in the wrong place again. Yesterday was a high tempo day for me and mental fatigue set in, which shoes both in my drawings and in my inability to find the right thread to post;)
I do think it's good to log a sketch even on days when I don't feel 100%. I may not be proud of the sketch but it reinforces the habit of showing up.

It all adds up. I appreciate the effort you've been putting into all of this so much.

About ten minutes. I was tired and I posted this in the wrong thread again yesterday, but I didn't miss the day.

Two minute sketches. The last one came up, which is the image Stan used for his long drawing in the figure drawing course, so I hit pause and spent my time on it. I want to use it as a point of reference when I follow along with Stan.

Instantly recognized that pose. Really cool study. I think having it as a reference will be helpful.

I like using the Prisma color pencils on toned paper. I'm not sure if you've tried it yet, but I enjoy that approach. These are great!

You are really nailing the leg rhythms.They are so pleasing to look at. You're also getting good squash and stretch on the torso. Between those two things, your figures are looking beautifully fluid. Looks like this is turning out to be a good year of drawing for both of us.

The stretch and bend on these are excellent. I can feel the rhythm flowing through them. The longer sketches are wonderful! The lean of the first sketch balanced by their legs is really tricky but I think you’ve nailed it. The other is just dazzling. Your ability to see the figurative planes atop your gestural flows make your work really dynamic. It’s inspiring stuff!

My hand drawing for the day. I think my tiredness is showing on this one, but I do like the directional lines. I need to do more of that.

This brought to mind the work of Wallace Wood, but I'm having trouble articulating why.

The definition you’ve given these forms is exceptional. Really cool stuff.
Also: You are approaching three hundred days, my dude! I have so much admiration for your commitment. Always a joy to see your work.
