Week 50: This week I've focused on repeating some lessons from previous unit's and the fundamental course. For the fun side, i've tried to create some stylized portraits from reference photos.

Nice studies! Hands are very hard to do, so you have my respect :). I think the second fist looks the best. It could be a bit improved in terms of value. Notice how the bottom part of the thumb/ palm is a bit darker. For the open hand, it has some proportion issues. If you overlay your drawing over the photo and make it transparent in a program like photoshop or photopea you can see the difference. Also there is an issue with the shadow in the middle of the hand. You've made the edges of the shadow darker then the shadow itself. Notice in the photo that the shadow gets lighter around the edges. Hope this helps!

Appart from the dynamic shapes studies of seals in the drawing basics course, I continued practicing on poses and portraits shapes. I tried to implement @Steve Lenze and @Martha Muniz 's advices , focusing more on accentuating movements, expressions, less on proportions and details. I tried to find interesting shapes while trying to give the impression of volume. I had a hard time sometimes, especially with the right hand of the man in the centre of the second page (which I had to modify as I never managed to draw the original postion)

I think you have a great sense of direction and movement of the gesture, but I think you can be a bit looser and see where the "rhythm" of the drawing takes you.

Nice one! I am really impressed that you have managed to practice daily for about two years. I started a similar journey to yours about two years ago but have not been able to keep the practice consistent. I started with the figure drawing course but got stuck at the perspective part and therefore I was so happy that Proko added this fundamentals course. I am following your journey now - very inspiring!

week 49: I've not given any updates the last couple of weeks, because I was finishing up my commission work i've mentioned before. However I'm back in the game (I hope). So to start off again I will be repeating some exercises from various previous lessons just to repeat. I also have a project in mind to work on my own, but I will post about it later. For now some Loomis heads to start :)

how are you doing @Cade Burdett

Week 47 + 48: Doing the shape design lesson from the beginners course, drawing more loomis heads and did this popcorn horror movie character for fun :)

I also did some from imagination (i also did some walruses, because they are waaaay more cooler than seals :) ) :

Fun assignment! Here are a couple of my tries:

There will be more videos added (i hope :))

Week 46: relearning the loomis head method. I found myself struggling with this one. i'm following the method teached by Stan from the portrait drawing course. What do you guys think?

how are you doing @Cade Burdett

Week 45: continued with the rotating heads challenge by taking it a little step further from the rotating boxes: creating rotating Loomis heads. For fun i did some cartoon-like sketches of some people in the reddit gets drawn community.

Week 44: I missed an update last week, but that is because I'm doing a small commission right now that takes up almost all of my drawing time. However, I'm preparing right now for the rotating head challenge by practicing drawing a rotating box. It is very difficult. I've practiced by drawing from imagination and by looking at a 3d model of a box.

Hey my dude! We are attempting the same reddit curriculum from RadioRunner! I am three weeks in to the Figure Drawing Fundamentals course. It’s super inspiring to see someone so far along in the journey. Keep up the good work. Draw, draw, draw!

Thanks mr Blaise for the awesome demo!

Week 43: i've finished the 100 hands challenge!

Great demo!

Week 42: I'm a little hung over at the moment, so a quick update: more hand studies and gestures. For fun i did a cartoon portrait :)
