When doing the gradient wash, If I'm trying to go from dark to light (top to bottom) is it better to angle the paper towards the dark? Having the pigment and water work with gravity. Same going if I want to try gradients going left to right or vice versa.
Good morning, @Anthony Damazyn! I also use Chome, on a Surface laptop, but was able to successfully use the timer tool with my model packs. Are you seeing an error messages when you try to select the timer tool? Make sure to select the timer increment you would like as well! If you preder, you can also reach out to me using the Help! form at the bottom right of this screen .
No error messages. I should add this is when I use the quick start timer button for the reference packs in my tools section. I try clicking on the check box and it does not work. When I go to proko.com/timer I can add packs no problem.
I have noticed today I cannot select packs in the pop up window for the timer tool. I have tried in Chrome and Edge, both are experiencing this issue. I tried Chrome on both my mobile and desktop, and it seems to be the same.

Using the tools from Lane Browns brush pack. The first i was trying to use the marker brush and work along with Stan. The second was a pencil brush. about 25-30 min each.

First attempt I focused on the face too much. The following ones I tried just focusing on the armor itself.

Here are the images at the 25 minute mark. Going to take the darker one a little further because that lighting was awesome.

Some nice natural silhouettes however youre losing dimension by not drawing through the form- get some overlaps, hooks and communicate the volume of the structure thats actually in these poses.

Tried to be conscious from the last critique and not get too detailed. A lot of the flows between muscles became more apparent the more I drew.

Youre really puttin in alot of time... Thats great. I do think the poses are afterthoughts though.... adding an arm here and then a leg there.. Try to feel the energy of the entire pose. The way the back arches effects the tension and pressure of the bent knee etc

Cool! I really like the expression of the orangutang, to the right on image 1.
Since you're focusing on not getting too detailed, it might be useful to try to draw like an animator, with simple shapes and exaggerated gesture (at least in the lay-in stage). I've been trying to do that the last week and I feel like it's improving the gesture, structure and poses of my drawings.
I did a drawing yesterday where I tried to mimick Milt Kahl's drawings of Pinocchio

I found that his drawings were amazingly simple, and that I often hide the weaknessess of my drawings with details, rather than nailing the foundation. So in this one I tried to stay simple.
I guess I've kinda avoided Disney cartoon drawings, because I don't want my work to look cartoony, but I've been blind to the fact that they're built on really solid drawing foundations that I think will help in whatever style I'm working in.
Hope this helps :)
Your strokes on the gorilla skull are fantastic. Helps show the form and planes of the skull.

Plan to do some more extreme or different angles. I just liked having a turntable look for the skulls.

Great work- but youre getting too caught up in details and losing the volumes, plane changes and weight that are more easily achieved in going for more objective forms.
