Hi Proko, thank you so much for the course. I have a question about studying, though. Is it good practice to also copy and trying to understand some drawings from a book (I'm thinking about Loomis, Bridgmann or Hampton) ? Is it a recommended approach ? Thank you!

When or where are we supposed to use the bean ? I don't see any examples of the bean being used in a figure drawing, so I'm wondering what its purpose is. Should I add a bean in my gestures?

Hi Marek, Your artwork looks great ! You could try exaggerating the gesture for a better result. Even when drawing quick poses, I find that exaggerating the subject's pose gives a better outcome. That helmet is so cool, by the way.

Hello artpunk ! I personally find the overhand grip easier on an easel or inclined drawing board, that's for sure. It's actually more ergonomic ! Wouldn't be on a flat surface. As much as I don't know Stan's exact setup, you could browse around artshops or make a simple inclined drawing board at home with a few planks. (This is a cool DIY video about this : https://youtu.be/Hm2WbjHEnkA) If you can't purchase one or make one, you can also grab a big piece of flat solid cardboard and place it on your knees, its back resting on a table or your desk. Remember to use what works best for you !
