Hello,
I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I can't seem to play the video. It loads as "completed" with the blue check with no playback option. Thanks for all that you do!

Hey everyone sorry the video didn't load. We just fixed it and it should be available now. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks Proko!! Is there also a way a feature of searching for specific people in the comment section is possible. Using Ctrl+F doesn't find it because the comments are loaded dynamically.

I never draw for imagination because of fear to be not good or because I dont know how, and thanks to you little by little I am gain confident where in school they never gived to me thank you so much for your lessons, and I like to show my samurai panda xD. I hope that my colleagues are getting better little by little too and that they feel confident in giving more and more. Let's conquer our dreams together.

Thanks for this @Stan Prokopenko. What would be your recommendation about drawings to attempt to those who are eager to start drawing from imagination without knowing all the concepts that folks from level 2 have? E.g basic faces, cartoon bodies, etc
Andrew actually does some rock/marble carving so there's a chance we'd add a course like that in the future.

Sorry I know I am not part of this course but see last night the line video on YOUTUBE so, if can share my practice with brilliant talented students it will be great

Hi everyone. I found this lately while digging around online resources and I though it was really helpful. A free public post from Stephen Bauman's patreon on how to take better photos of your drawings. I just wanted to share it with others taking this course as I found it very handy.

Why doesn't this video show the check mark after viewing? @Proko Support It looks like I have only watched 79% of the course content.

A bit of a cheat because this pic was from last month, but I took a lego Marie Antoinette with me to Versailles. I thought I'd try to capture the essence of the out of focus background using quick, soft lines. I guess it kind of worked.

Day 1: Shaker bottle
In hindsight, I could have added a slight tilt to the bottles to add some dynamism. :o
Bella ciao!

My day 2 of 14, I thought what would be a good subject to draw that I could see in front of me rather than on a screen. Reference is a little off because I took it after the drawing and couldn’t get the same angle on the photo.

Day 01: cup of coffee. I really like lines and perspective 😁

Really not happy, but also I'm feeling crappy :) nonetheless practice is practice. Failed a bit with Instax case reference photo, was more frontal to me but still ellipses are off.

what do we do if a drawing takes over 30 minutes? I know we're not supposed to time ourselves but is there a function to the duration cap?
4mo
The goal of this exercise is to just develop a habit of sketching/drawing daily and not to perfect each drawing. If you want to spend more time on a particular drawing that's great!
Stan just wanted to emphasize a time frame that fits most people's schedules and to not stress out about timing yourself to complete any one drawing.

Just a question how often and when they will be critiques of what we are doing?
