Hello! Please see my 45 sec and 2 min gestures. For these I tried to focus more on getting whatever it is was able to get on paper fluid rather than finishing by the end of time and rushing. I found the the pelvic and toro areas (seperately) as a whole, meaning itself and how things connect to it, were a big pressure point for myself. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Very nice work but its obvious you have still a lot to understand about the body and its forms. Keep practicing, learning and dont give up 💪, some of them look almost nice!

They look great overall, very nice proportions. Maybe some look a bit rigid if you compare them with Proko's figures, but p.e your second one in the bottom line looks beautiful. You are almost very good, dont give up 💪 .

After 30sec exercises 2 mins feels like a long time. Usually I’m done after a minute. I tried sketching each twice. Once by myself (left), and once following Stan’s sketch (right) to break down how he thinks about it vs me. You can clearly see a difference.

Are you sure you dont need the 2 minutes? Your draws feel like contours and thats like the opposite of the excercice's intention. Rewatch the lesson, keep copying Proko and do not give up 💪

Im confused. If the 6 first cervicals are invisible cos of ligaments... and if the 7th is so big it is a Landmark when we bend forward... Which vertebrae are showing in the photo? I can see 3 vertebrae... Guessing the middle and biggest one is the 7th cervical.... which one is the one before and the one after? Is the first one the 6th cervical? Then cervicals were not that hidden, or is it the 7th vertical and the follower biggest one is the first thoracic? Thx for your attention.

Just a simple student but I think is just a sphere with an indicator of the 3 axis: Longitudinal (top to bot), transversal (left to right) and anteroposterior (front to back). Is like a beach ball with different colors. Artist has to choose a point where 2 of the axis meet (long.+trans., trans+antero, or antero+long.), then draw the other one missing. In a sphere you cant meet the 3 at the same time. Maybe you can help yourself getting a polyspan sphere (they are so cheap) and putting around rubber bands, ponytail holders(?) Sorry, not native. I hope this helped, greetings!

Oh yeah, construction looks good but the foundation is clearly wrong, thats why they look like smashed(?) Doing circles would help, but meanwhile you get the hang of it, you could just start with circles made with a compass. Is not very legit but saves a lot of frustration at the beginning :) Grettings!

Shapes are nice! Maybe slacking a bit of volume in the booty? Like, the way the left leg in the bottom line comes out at the same level as the W shape of the botty, maybe you could do it more dramatic so its clearer and more dinamic. Greetings!

So I've been trying these for a few weeks now, I'd like to go on to the bean but hopefully I can have some feedback before. These are just some but i've done a bunch already, tried 2 min, 30 sec, 5 lines + head, and 2 min using charcoal as sugested buy proko (you can see the darker lines) these have been particularly difficult, trying the overhand grip while drawing either on my lap or on a desk, plus trying to get the gesture right has been very challenging, and the charcoal pencil on its own is kinda hard to use, but I guess I'll get accustomed to it. Any comments, critique or feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

At time stamp 1:22 Stan says "The height [of the oval] will always be the same no matter what angle you're drawing the head from". I'm wondering about this though. In the example below the oval is barely half the size of the circle for the cranium. Am I drawing the oval incorrectly here? Making the height of the oval 2/3 the size of the circle from this angle seems like it would be way too big.

Hello! This was a hard bone for me aswell, I constantly felt that loomis only fits perfectly with pretty small rounded headed people lol Until I understood something, loomis is a tool... not a science. Its fantastic to draw heads from imagination, to do portraits... not. Dont frustrate yourself. Like, you can start with the ball and the box but setting all the key points of the face always with the same measures pretending to get different features/faces/races is a ticket to madness. Greetings!

I've been practicing drawing the structure for a year+, I think I'm pretty comfortable with it at this point, though I must admit that some more longhaired animals/weirder angles are still pretty challenging. Some of the time I only draw the structure of the head, since I actually find it more challenging to draw the structure of the head in more detail than I do drawing the whole body with a more simplified head structure. I'm trying to capture the gesture while also maintaining proper proportions. If you have any tips or critiques they would be much appreciated

Im a little too chicken to show my art on here, but I tried to incorporate some of my personal drawing style with this and the results were pretty okay! So if anyone already had a drawing style they wanted to mix with these practices, I’d say go for it!!!
