Hi all and Michael, here is my attempt at the lesson, would really appreciate any feed back or comments. Really learning a lot from the concepts in the course. Onto the next lesson. All the best!

hi sir, i have one doubt in work flow, many of time we are been asked to draw line or lines of action why i said lines casue (in some case we are asked to draw two lines like c and s curves). but in workflow you seems to omitted that part any particular reason behnd it ?

I find I’m not the greatest with proportion or perspective but it maybe improving

Very information dense lessons makes my head hurt after each video!
I am curious if you use this process for live quick figure drawing.
Would you still try to go through step by step for say a 2 min pose? Would you limit or expand the number of steps you try to achieve based on the length of a pose? I guess this assuming you do quick poses at all.

Thank you Mr. Hampton.

I made some drawing combining what was discussed in this lesson with what I've already been doing. I feel like the biggest challenge is to ignore the silhouette and essentially drawing the skeleton only. I do see that with this method, you get much more appealing gestures, since you aren't mistaking the bumps of flesh as part of the gesture. I definitely learned a lot here!

I'm likely going to revise this lecture since I was exhausted prior to starting it, as for the drawing I think the legs and the distance between the hips and chest are clearly the most erring (do add any observations if I messed any else)
I understand the approach, you're laying down the gesture lines and then adding shapes to better place the anatomy in later stages ( if I'm correct)
But is it possible to do just the gesture lines and immediately begin filling in the details of the body? If so do you demonstrate that in later lectures or know any artist which does what I've described?
Also here is the picture of my attempt

Approaching this in stages as described really keeps thing simple and helpful in later stages. I found it helpful to turn the cylinders into a kind of a "bread" shape by just "slicing" off one part of it to give it hard edges.

Tried to take my time through the course. I struggle greatly with perspective, "clean lines" and form intersections. I found having the list to fall back on was helpful when I would get stuck or confused.

I've been using your gesture methods for a while but I never went further than that despite my efforts, this video got me into attempting Construction over gesture properly for the first time. I'll make some attempts with some different gestures while doing this process.

following along, i really like how the steps build over each other and the structure starts appearing as you find the forms. I assume things like muscle would start to build over this in a similar way?

I didn't put in as much tilt and I my torso was too long the first pass.

Followed along, though I worry about mindlessly copying vs being able to apply my knowledge.
