Sup, I have a hard time with trying to find the rhythms of the arms when I'm drawing. Could anyone help me on how to find the rhythms of that. Another problem I have is how to draw the neck on my figures without them looking awkward or weird. Also could someone help spot my proportional errors that I've over looked, Thanks.
Joan Lacasse
Very good.

I started by drawing heads and then torsos.

Great exercises. I would like to see your drawings of arms and legs as well, But I'd say right now it's more important to connect all these parts together. If your start capturing the rhythms through the whole body, all of these parts will look more connected.

I continue to do exercises from previous courses while pursuing new ones. So here are some new Line Master Studies drawings. It is a work of the great Charles Dana Gibson, A Widow An Her Friends and a drawing of Aaron Blaise (fabulous animal designer).

I create lines through the use of rhythmic movement. I did a lot but here are good ones to upload, these are mine.

Wow!

The How to Draw Interesting shapes demo is just awesome. Combining the quality of lines and shapes and thinking about varying them… Wow. Not easy to make, but so instructive. Thanks to the whole Proko team and of course Mr Proko.     Dynamic Shapes   I couldn’t wait to draw all these seals, so I cheated and started with Dynamic Shapes rather than Measure Proportions. I’ll come back to it right back.   I drew on both sides of the drawing paper and unfortunately taking the pictures I realized that we see the drawing at the back. The result is not very clean. Sorry.   Each drawings is numbered according to the order of the reference photos.

I revisited this challenge before moving on, and went for the skull by Jeff Watts this time. I felt that this turned out better than my last attempt, and I think it was a good idea to choose a simpler subject to study.
Joan Lacasse
Wow!

Hmm. It was really hard to get it click. I am not sure, my brain just resists doing that on animals for uknown reason.

Love the buffalo and its kind of hair on the top of his head.

Here we go! I really struggled with the hippo but in the end I think he was the most successful. I'm now going to watch the critiques and go back and do the 5 or 10 extras. I've included my preliminary sketches and ideation in black. The finished pieces are the red ones.
Joan Lacasse
Yes, the hippo is successful. Bravo!
