I'm that double sided coin that loves incredible combat scenes in media, but also likes works that gives you cute aggression.

If we know about the loomis method, is that something we should use here or stick strictly to finding measurements?

I would not attempt to do this using the Loomis method. The Loomis method is for constructing three dimensional head and will cause unnecessary complications for you.
For this assignment just focus on using simple two dimensional shapes and adjusting their proportions using the measuring techniques Stan described.

I did a self portrait for a class in college. I was wondering how I actually did. I think it came out okay but I would appreciate any sort of feedback.

I think it depends on the type of line your trying to draw. If it's a big sweeping curve I would suggest trying to be as loose as possible and to get that it's best to not have contact with the paper. If it's a small detail maybe you should give yourself some added support by placing your hand on the paper. After watching Stan's last video on the circle warmup, I remember him mentioning to leave your hand off the paper when practicing even the smallest circles. This was a long winded way of saying listen to Stan and not me lol.
Thanks Cade.
It's actually the same video that made me ask this question. I have definitely heard the advice to draw without touching the paper, but now hearing proko say what he did in the circle exercise I'm wondering if it means don't touch the paper ever or just for the exercise.
I have been drawing for a while and always had my hand touch whatever canvas I work on. Digital or traditional. I was wondering, when we are training our lines, circles or just arting in general. Should we not touch the canvas? I've been using a drawing glove to remove traction of my hand and it tends to work but I thought asking this would be worth it to hear some opinions or the facts.

It would be pretty cool to become a freelance animator. Create things of my own or get commissioned by a company to animate something for them. Maybe, when I get good enough become a teacher and try to inspire hope in people who want to do the same.

Hi Teus,
I understand motivation is fleeting and you should absolutely keep drawing when you can. That being said, remind yourself *why* you are drawing and practicing in the first place. It's good you are branching into new territory but remember to draw what *you* want to draw sometimes.
Personally, when I feel absolutely no motivation, I go to sakugabooru and look at some animations people have made. (I want to be an animator/have the ability to animate) and that will sometimes will rekindle the fire.
It's basic advice, but I hope it helps. c:

Well, I committed myself to post the good, bad, and ugly. I could not strike a good line to save my life. My arm just wouldn't respond. But that's okay.

After the boots demo. This took me a while.
That was A LOT of information. (A lot of proportions are off too). It’s hard to keep thinking as you draw each line “how do I want to simplify this”. Sometimes it just becomes unconscious copying. Even C curves can be very different from each other.
S curves were extremely hard to ghost. Just hard to get on the same trace.
I have a strong feeling that when Stan was doing the demo for boots he used his knowledge of shapes. That’s why they looked so real. I lack that knowledge so I can only copy 2D information now.
I am still struggling to draw nice eclipses. Going back to drawing some more mushrooms…
These figures are really cool! Where do you get them? (Sorry this comment isn't related to your drawing, It did come out nice tho)

First off, shoutout to the editor(s). So funny sometimes.
I see I over thought this exercise. I went in thinking we couldn't box things in and make a plan. I thought the little construction marks I did make were cheating but I just made it way harder on myself xP. My second go at these will hopefully be way easier. I will however need to actually draw the shoe laces. I simplified mine wayyyy to much
