Week 1 - One minute

Week 2.

Got it done! It only reinforces that I've got a lot of work to do.

Week 1: beginner here! I've been wanting to learn gesture for a long time and this challenge motivated me to finally do it! None are amazing but compared to the start of this challenge I'm proud of my work. First 10 are 5 minutes, second are 1 minute.

Week 2 - 10x1 Minute, 7x5 Minute Here is my submission for Week 2 - Static Poses. I felt very much like I was running out of things to do near the end of the 5 minute poses. Looking back, I wish I had chosen to emphasize structure (especially in the torso) in the time I had instead of adding in details. Proportion remained a struggle for me, especially in the legs. I felt very inspired looking at the other submissions here and definitely took some notes from you all! All drawings are done on printer paper with ballpoint pen, composed digitally in MS Paint. (Side note: I realized after scanning everything that I misread the directions and didn't do enough 5 minute poses. I do love the energy that 1 minute poses can capture, so I hope you all enjoy looking at my work anyways!)

week 3 submission

My take on week 3 assignement

Week 2 and 3 submission, tried boosting the contrast to make my lines more visible. as usual i always struggle with front facing poses and i think i butchered all the feet and most of the hands, i think part of that is because i havent actually sat down to study the feet yet. I dont usually put my studies of hands on timer, so this was a good experience.
