This was pretty fun! I'm glad I can finally draw someone with proper proportions, feedback would be much appreciated 🙂
I popped over here after doing the gesture lessons in the Drawing Basics course and have to say I'm really enjoying this course so far. I really like how straight forward Michael's explanations are. Anyway, here's my first attempt at drawing these proportions.
I think I'll make drawing this a part of my warmups for a little while. I really want to internalize this.
Done one day after watching the instruction based on the notes taken during the video.
I did the first drawing while watching the video.
The second I did an hour later. I referred back to my notes a lot.
The first picture was my study along with the video. The other three were my attempts to do it without looking at my study. The last two I was able to do it without looking so I felt I was okay to submit and progress further. Thanks!
