Very happy with the shape design of the trex's mouth and tail, not so happy with his legs. Finding a nice pose for the boring panda body aas djn

I think you did a great job! Quite similar to the demo. Proportions seem very correct as well. Only comment would be to try to use fewer lines in future drawings, since your lines look confident but the overlap of many lines make it a bit fuzzy and takes away from the line quality.

Really feeling how the texture of my super cheap gritty sketch book (only 2,50€) works against me when I try to get darker shadows.

I did a total of 195 gesture drawings in the last 2 weeks: 95 bodies in 1 minute 30 bodies 5 in minutes 32 hands & feet in 1 minute 14 hands & feet in 5 minutes 24 bodies following tutorials Seeing my progress and how my approach changed with time was very fun. I'll probably only need a few ten thousand more until I find a method I'll be content with. I've also attached an example of the type of drawing I'd like to further develop while improving my gesture drawing: very fast skeleton drawings, seemingly only random scribbles, that still clearly communicate correct structure and perspective, and all of that with a lot of movement and energy. Thanks for the challenge!

Imagining every direction IS building your foundation

I've found a cool exercise for this that really helps me learn to visualize heads from gestures before drawing them. It builds from a warmup exercise: 1. Draw a page of circles. I did 7 rows of 5 circles for example. (Craniums) 2. Draw a straight line through each of them, trying not to get too horizontal. I like to skip around the circles to keep everything free flowing. (Tilts) 3. Add a small curve at the bottom/lower third. (Neck gesture) 4. Draw an ellipse inside the circle that is perpendicular to the line. (Perspective) You now have a page full of random head gestures. Try to develop these into heads that fit the gestures as naturally as possible. I've excluded gestures for the shoulders because that made it too difficult for me to invent fitting heads.

Helped me a lot when I realized that the whole tentacle has to follow the shading too.
