Love the timer tool. Working on traditional, and finding those shadow shapes, but a version in digital as well. Thanks for the new class guys!

Really cool presentation. Love seeing the digital v traditional.
Took a day to study portraits in perspective. Something I need to practice way more.

Oh fudge, I made these with Proko's Timer Tool, but I can't seem to find the photos. Anybody know if it's possible to download images from the Timer Tool at the end of the session so we can properly format for submissions?
Admittedly hard to critique without the references, but I'm trying to break out of the Loomis head and really focus on that cheekbone.

Nice stuff Laura! Awesome to see you here.
These look great! They have a boxy quality which is perfect when drawing the head.
I only notice one that looks a bit off and I tried to redraw it. It’s such a difficult angle! I now realize that I need to do my own skull studies…
I think the features in this one pose would angle down away from the nose a bit more and the nose could be pushed up. I took a photo reference of a model I’ve got on my desk to help.
I love your drawings! Keep it up!
Great following along with this. Heads up (hehe) I think there's some extra video that starts at 18:40 where Michael is speaking, but there's no voice?

I figured her out!!!! Still not quite sure where the rhythm is in her chest, but after a digital drawover, I found something workable :)
As for the man, it's clearly time to watch the lessons on lats :D

Great selection of reference images, I can see that I should be more deliberate with my line work, there are a few overly worked moments, but this one image was actually driving me nuts! What's happening here?

This is a SUPER USEFUL exercise, I was just getting bored of my mushrooms. I've been working through Patrick Jones' Anatomy of Style class and I've been trying to get a better handle on a stick of chalk, so here's traditional. Plus a digital version as I try to get a better handle on the basic brushes in Blender for some 3D boards down the line.

Proko team (and fellow students), if you'd like to critique the pear with ink, here's an option. I see mistakes, but I'm sure you see more :)

When you can't decide on Level 1 or Level 2.
I thought it might be fun to try it on gray paper.
Everyone's work is inspiring! Happy to be learning with you all!

Anyone here from Marshall's Kley Inkmaster class? As much as I love the forgiving nature of graphite, I'm trying to be more proficient in ink to get more mileage out of my lines. This was a most excellent and really, really challenging evening.
I sketched in blue pencil, found the shadow shapes, outlined the vegetable, and tried lines of varying density to convey the 5 shades.
Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit! Feedback is most welcome :)
PS: the camera did crush my shadows a bit more than my observed shadows, and there was definitely a bounce light on that onion!
