GREAT NEWS ! If just like me you are not from USA and wondered where to find this "newspaper" paper on which Stan's pencil seems to slide so fluently, I've just discovered that paper for paperboard is just like that and is so cheap !

Unfortunately it took me a long time to get through the second set. However, for the first 5-6 figures I was pretty frustrated, but by the end after watching the demo, I feel like I have become a bit better at this!:) Tried various pencils with this.

A fantastic exercise for practicing what I am learning while seeking to expand my skill little by little. As always, a work in progress...and, fun.

I had a fun time drawing those, but I still need to work on my lines; they are still quite messy.

A few more. I am starting to get faster!

That part in confidence is very important. Unlike with lines I feel I lack confidence in my drawing as a whole, believing it’s incorrect and tweaking it instead of following through. Thanks that really made me think. 🤔

Did a few more poses after watching the demo. I tried to be more "loose" and "going with the flow of energy" – it's hard to keep my lines clean and not "fuzzy." Happy that my output is getting faster – even if there is not much improvement in the drawings themselves. It took me forever to go through the original 24 poses (including a mental breakdown), but I managed to do all these 10ish poses in 2 days. The project itself wasn't the first time I attempted figure drawing. I went back to one of my old sketchbooks and found the first figure drawings I did. I am happy to see the improvement from those to now. Still – there is much to be learned.

Second attempt:-)

Oh man, I was scared for this one. Very first time drawing people. Or rythms, sorry. It’s hard but fun! Having to do a lot of them for practice, but I’ll go to perspective first 😵‍💫

Hey there! Another fay another 6 rhythm poses, this time with the additional knowledge of the demo. The drawings still seem very static and I also find myself quite often being inconfident in putting down the line, it was fun nevertheless and I'll be practicing more into the future. :^) Criticisms are very much appreciated!

Here are my attempts after watching the demo. The numbers refer to the images that are numbered. I am still struggling with this, I feel like I am kind of following the contour and not the flow. I am watching the critique video and hopefully will make improvements after. Will continue to do these.

I feel like I got more flow and connections in these but my proportions are still off

IMSTRUGGLINH WITHG THERYTHM HELP

Another attempt I tired, and reviewed the demo video alot

Practice from demo the 1's are before Stan's example and 2's after. I feel like I need to practice more on identifying rhythms more through out the body and try to avoid doing each limb separately. any advice is welcome thanks.

Very helpful video! The section on Confidence (Sometimes you have to 'Fake It To Make It') and addressing Structure were nice touches. Attached are some "Notes To Self."

Im so stuck ... I've been on this lesson for 2 or more weeks . I've redrawn my chosen poses and they are not noticeably any better .Ive watched the demo today , what i noticed is that by the 4th pose you were flowing through . My brain gets in the way and i have to walk away . Soooo im guessing get out of my head . A week ago I was going to cut my losses and give up on this dream , but then i thought , but go where I don't want do something else I LOVE ART , AND I WANT TO DRAW IT MYSELF . So Im going to push through . thanks Stan for being upbeat and positive in your vids it helps when im not confident .

I don't think that I made progress. I think overall it doesn't look good. Can I go to perspective section? Or should I do more of this?

I'm not sure that i get what flow and rhythm is supposed to mean , for what i've understood , it looks like a simplification and then exageration of the most distinguisable parts of the form , but i feel that isn't right . I would appreciate a hand

Did another set of 10 pictures, with the first 3 referencing the demo. I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it...There are certain lines that just felt "right" to me as I was drawing, and I think they have more rhythm than my previous attempt. Will keep on practicing though, there's still room for improvement.
