Asked for help
The collar bones are much easier to imagine than the shoulder blade, especially the top bit above the blade. Im interested in how the "how to draw" video will explain it.

Posting my assignments helps me stay accountable to myself. I know I dont understand squished cylinders in perspective yet, but I'm going to keep going. If I need to revisit things later, that's fine.
I feel like I can envision the structure much better than I could before I started. But I think making these from imagination would still be difficult.

This homework REALLY gave me wind again. The way these complicated forms make sense even as little stick figures- it felt like something unlocked inside me. I know I didn't make them pretty, but I sure think I learned something.
My perspective needs some help, but I looked at some other students drawings and the original simplified shapes to set some of these up. Just posting to prove I did the homework.

I've never done any anatomy course before, so these are pretty bad- I think I'm going to hate doing this but I know I need to understand anatomy better to actually improve at all. So I have a goal to finish this class!

These are gestures I was trying to finish within 2 mins although it toke me a bit more time. I sometimes have problems with having the correct head size compared to the body legs and limbs. Do you know any way I could get better. Thanks in advance 🥇🧨🥇
Right now, don't worry so much about making the rib cage frame, and instead focus on the broad lines of the movement. The episode https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-draw-gesture-step-by-step/assignments really helped me out with that one

I knew what gesture was, but in my one formal art class we focused on observation and measurement, so I was confused when I saw that some of the gesture drawings shown were fairly different from the models actual poses. The angles were different, mostly. So I tried this method and I'm honestly blown away- this makes poses feel so much more natural than just copying the photograph, in a way that I don't really understand yet, but I'm excited to explore.
I’m glad you like it, it’s fun isn’t it! I think working with gesture gives more movement to the pose and makes the drawing feel more alive!
Keep up the good work, you are up to a great start!

I went all out and tried to do my VERY BEST on this. When I finished, I realized I'm not where I want to be. I'm trying to figure out what I want my art to look like, so that I can compare it to that in my mind, see the differences, and correct them. While I do that, I'm trying to go back to the basics and really learn stuff I missed as a self-taught artist. I'm wondering if these two are the right courses of action...? What do you think?
