added comment inSketchbook Spontaneity
One area where I can at least excell in quantity if not quality. These other sketches put mine to shame. But I do try and fill up sketchbooks fast. This book I filled from 10/8-11/14. I try to watch sketching videos and imitate people I admire like Kim Jung Gi, Peter Han, or Karl Kopinski. I like experimenting with different materials and paper. I like iterating on similar themes and doing comfortable drawings to warm up.

Anyone remember the reference photo organizer program Stan talked about? What's it called?
Hi there! The app Stan recommends for organizing reference photos is called PureRef. It's a free tool, although you can choose to donate to support the developers. PureRef allows you to collect images on a single board, giving you the freedom to zoom in and out, flip, rotate, and reorganize images. It's widely used by concept artists and illustrators for its great features.
What was the app for organizing your reference photos that Stan recommends in a video? Its a free one

That is so often the way it goes. It sometimes feels like we're not making progress... until we see our past work. Keep moving forward! Let me know if you have any specific questions!

Getting better as I go. Having difficulty controlling the shading. I can go only maybe 3 tones...Is it all pressure? Maybe layer slower.

2024/10/27. Good morning everybody. Here’s my final figure drawing.
Overall the figure is not very dynamic and there are some imperfections in the proportions between torso and legs. Also the shadows could perhaps not always be uniform. But overall I am moderately satisfied. Let me say that Brent's course is simply fantastic and from tomorrow I will do it again from the beginning because it seems to me that his approach is really an excellent mix of intuitive drawing and academic technique. I learned a lot and I want to try to go deeper into his method. Thanks Brent!!

how do you guys post pictures on the community? I know this is a dumb question but I haven't been able to figure it out.
When you click in the text bar, a little button that looks like the sun over some mountains should appear in the bottom left of the bar. If you click it, a window should pop up that you can drop image files into. The only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked! 👍

Is the Pentel Twist-Erase III Automatic Pencil good? I think it's what Marshal was using in the video but I'm not sure, also anyone got Mechanical Pencil Lead brand recommendations?
There is no benefit to using any brand. Buy the cheapest that functions. If you want to be fancy get two, a 7 and 5mm, but you only need one. IMO

Has anyone a good method for switching Brushes for left handed people? Can't believe photoshop can't figure this out after a decade.
