Hi guys, do you think this methods works for life drawing too?

I've used these methods in past life drawing scenarios and it does help. Especially when drawing buildings(because they are stationary and dont move, so you have a lot more time to observe and measure and look for relations). But this can also be done with people, animals, or whatever else in life.

Hi, I was wondering if the course have english subtitles. It is a little hard for me to understand some words because english is not my native language.

Unfortunately not, Juan. I will look into it in the future.

hi, I feel you being too contour focused is the fact you use the gesture line as your spine. You have to realize that gesture lines are not an anatomy representation but a depiction of movement from the pose. You can see in the reference his weight is shifting towards his left side while yours the weight is still in the middle. The best way to visualize this is to think of the body as a line and where the weight is shifting towards. An example would be if I rotate my upper body towards the right, my lower body will move towards the left even if its very subtle just to balance the pose. Every pose will have the element of balancing in it unless its intentionally unbalance (ie. falling poses or poses that the body is supported by something else). Once u discover the main gesture line, you can trying finding out the gesture lines for the other parts of the body, for this reference its the arms and the right leg. Hope this will help :)

Hi, any tips for drawing this gesture? I feel is too contour focused. This is from the first part of figure drawing course. I have not seen to much of 3d forms yet. Thank you.

Hi, I can't find 14 gauge aluminium wire in my country :(. Im from Peru. I have only found 14 gauge galvanized steel wire. Does this one feel the same than aluminium??

I tried to do it with the 14 gauge galvanized steel wire. It's really hard, I can't make the loops or twisted with my hands. I had to use the pliers. Should I try with a 16 gauge steel wire maybe??
