A beginner's "Figure Drawing Fundamentals" questionsHi, I've just started the "Figure Drawing Fundamentals" course, and I had a few questions on the "30-Second Pose" exercises.
Am I supposed to be trying to get the body proportions correct or just focus on drawing the flow? It doesn't seem like Stan is deliberately focusing on body proportions, but after I draw, my proportions are way off. (I know there's a million Youtube videos on proportions, but Stan hasn't went over it in this course yet.)
Is it okay to sketch using multiple lines, or should I be using one solid line to draw each part like Stan does?
Have you found it more helpful for you to do the 30-second pose before seeing what Stan does, or recreating what he does? When I try to draw before seeing what he does, my drawings looks terrible. (Since I'm a beginner, I obviously don't expect my actual drawing to look as good as Stan's, but I'm also not "seeing" what I'm supposed to be drawing like he does.) But when I try to recreate what he's doing, I find myself more focused on his drawing techniques than the actual model.
