Since we didn't have an official assignment, I allowed my beginner self to play around, and not worry about accuracy as much. You can really stretch those blobs out. You can create multiple overlapping blobs and crate overlapping boxes from them. They're so versatile!
Marshall, thank you for this lesson because it took me quite some time to realize that subjects in your drawing can have multiple vanishing points, and an infinite number of said points. Heck, i reckon you could have multiple horizon lines? One could be tilted for use in drawing a tilted or falling over object in a scene. A very important concept for beginners to grasp.
Photo quality is crap. I still don't know how to take decent photos :/

Been practicing in anticipation of the course release. Working through chapter 1 of the book. I'm starting to see improvements on day 3! This is my best gesture drawing so far. The forearm was foreshortened a crazy amount. Struggled with that.
See y'all in a couple weeks for day 1!

I don't usually participate in such events. This is my first time, and I just opened an account. Michael seems to be a very humble person. I liked his demo, and I might give it a try. Maybe this will finally help me get started somewhere. Will it start officially on Feb. 3rd or are there also pre-recorded videos? I'm completely new here.
Hey Ari! Welcome to the platform. I'm kinda new myself but I've enrolled/purchased a few classes on here. I've been working through Michael's book, and I'm happy he decided to make a course for the gesture part of it here. In my experience, all the instructiors on Proko.com are humble and "down to earth".
My experience from the other courses is there will be a video released every 5-7 days or so, give or take a day. So on Feb 3rd there should be at least one video up to start the course with. Some will be pre-recorded and some will be live demos/critiques that will be posted as videos for reference later. We'll have projects to complete, etc. Someone else with more experience may be able to chime in with more info.
But this is a great place to start and I think Michael's Gesture course is going to be excellent.

Heck yea I'm excited about this one! I've got your book Michael and I think it's great, but I'm dumb and well... dumb brain not read good 😂
This course will help to visualize the process as it happens. Can't wait to get started!

Hahaha. It's tough to learn just from books. I also always needed to see something done.

Asked for help
Hi everyone. I'm proud of you all for working hard. You can do this, I promise :)
Here's my submission. My cylinder ellipses need some work. They aren't quite in correct perspective but this was fun! I forced myself to try and measure everything out. That's something I don't have patience for as I get frustrated with it but I stuck to it.
Good luck, everyone!
