This was a useful and fun lesson. I pushed the pose, but I was not sure if I should had changed the position of the limbs, so I re-did to focus more on exaggeration.

Hey everyone: I really enjoyed this lesson; I haven’t thought about drawing people moving. I tried to do an assignment for this lesson so the pages with 3 gestures are poses from the lesson; the page with 2 gestured are drawings from reference photos of people running. This was soooo fun!

My mannequin studies. These are 2 front poses and a back pose from the Free Proko model poses. It had nudity so I was not sure if it was ok to post the reference pics. I wanted to try doing it on my own without watching Proko. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone! My own attempt! I worked on my own reference pic. I tried to apply all that I learned in this wonderful course. I have had a hard time finding reference pics so in my search for a pic with shadows, I thought that a pic from the silent movies would do well. I was really happy with this pic because the model is beautiful and inspiring; but, now I feel that 1) she had more than one source of light; and 2) the black and white made it hard to discern the objects in the shadow. I am happy with the drawing. But, I am disappointed that I was not able to capture her properly. In the pic, she is a young, fabulous movie star; but, in my drawing, she is an older, austere woman. I think maybe it is her mouth and chin; I think I drew the mouth too low and the chin too small. The softness of her features is just not there. Btw, I did keep the highlight in her shadow part of the hair. I know that they should had no highlights, but I wanted to practice the hair so I gave myself artistic license to do so; otherwise, it would be just a black blob. Lol Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. @Jesper Axelsson

My final assignment! Yay! @Jesper Axelsson I hope you had a great Thanksgiving; despite the holidays, I managed to finish her on Thanksgiving. I did it in stages. I didn’t apply what you taught me from Nicolai because I was almost done with the drawing by the time I read your critique. However, I am working on my a different portrait that I will post keeping in mind your advice. in the meanwhile, I was not as happy with this assignment as the last. I had to re-work the eyes a few times, but they still didn’t get fixed; the eyes are not symmetrical. I also think that the nose is too big, and the mouth too small or off somehow. I’m not sure what is wrong with the mouth, but I feel there is something not right. I like the hair tho I think there is space for improvement. So compared to Nocolai; this drawing left me with many doubts and questions. Lol However, I am really happy that I tried drawing it; didn’t give up; and finished it. And overall, I think it was a real good effort. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I did my assignment by drawing along with Proko. I was really intimidated; but, I went for it; and, I’m really happy with the drawing. As always, any feedback is welcome. Tia

This assignment was hard for me; I have a hard time with boxes. I have started doing warm ups by practicing boxes in different directions. In the meanwhile, I had to spend a month on this lesson before I was comfortable with attempting it on my own. I’m having a hard time also seeing the direction of the torso and the pelvis. Lol Any feed back is appreciated. Please let me know if I’m ok to move to the next lesson; or if I need to stay here and practice boxes some more. Thank you. (I numbered the drawings according to the order in the Proko’s poses.) @Jesper Axelsson I’m still here doing my lessons; I would really appreciate if you please give me feedback on my drawings. Tia

I did my first assignment following Proko’s lesson and then I tried one on my own. Any feedback is appreciated. Tia

Ears!!! The first is the Proko assignment; the other two, I did from pics online. Any feedback is welcome.

Lips!!! I did Proko lips by drawing along; then I tried 2 pics. I had a hard time seeing the darker areas, but I tried to shade what I saw in the pic. I’m not sure if the proportion on the middle lips is correct; I think they may be a little too wide. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated. Tia

Noses!!! These are hard, but fun. The top one is Proko’s lesson, and the other two are from reference pics online . Thank you for any feedback.

I did the front and back assignment; and I tried to find the landmarks as best as I can. Any feedback is appreciated.

I love eyes so it was fun to learn how to draw them; I did 4. I am attaching a ref pic of the last one because it is looking extremely towards the right and the pupil is in a counterintuitive position. Any feedback is appreciated.

I have enjoyed this lesson tremendously; and I am ready to move on to the next lesson: however, I wanted to share my last 7 exercises to see how I’m doing; therefore, any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

I am stuck with beans; how long should I do this practice until I can move on? I have done the lesson twice; and this is the 3rd re-do of the twist section. Short of memorizing the poses; I have a hard time seeing whether the torso or the pelvis is in front. Any feedback would be appreciated. Tia

I have been stuck on beans for a while now; I have done the whole lesson twice now, and I’m on my third review. These ar my 3rd try on the twist. I feel like I need some feedback. Lol

I am trying to draw the downtilt; but, I must be doing the measurements wrong because the face is too long and narrow. I can’t figure it out. Where am I going wrong? Please help. Tia

Are the gesture photos included with the course? I’m not sure where to download them.

I watch how to draw gesture step by step trying to understand more how Stan draws his gesture. How did I do. I have a really hard time dealing with #2. Thanks for the critics in advance🥇🧨🥇

@Cristina Kaiden I hope you are doing fine because I haven’t seen you post for at least a week now. I hope you continue to practice and stay strong 🥇🧨🥇
