One last submission for week 1 before the next challenge starts!
I ended up doing way more 1min poses this time because I just wasn't feeling it at first - you can see that I wasn't even able to finish some of the poses. Fortunately something clicked and I ended up really liking the last couple I did. I'm pretty happy with the 5-minute poses, even though they're a little sloppy.
I NEED to learn how to draw pelvises T_T

Week 1, attempt 3! Man, I really wasn't feeling it today, but I showed up and I think the results are passable.
I feel like my figure drawing has been plateauing for a while, honestly. I've been doing live drawing sessions as well as these exercises and while I'm certainly getting no worse, I don't really feel like I'm discovering anything new with each session. Other than more anatomy study, which is on my to-do list (lol), how can I make sure I'm getting the most out of these sessions?

third practice of the first week. Another 10 one minute poses and 10 five minutes poses.
This time I tried digital work.
Really digging this. So unique! Your lines are so curly, I feel like your figures are coiled springs ready to bounce around the page.
Love these! Your 1-minute gestures are so minimalist. I feel like the figures are ghosts just barely emerging from the page, but I can tell exactly what the poses are thanks to just a few darkened lines where energy is concentrated/shadows are pooling.
Really digging your style. I like all the lumps and bumps - I feel like you do a great job exaggerating muscle groups.

Week 1: Charcoal on newsprint. The 1 minute was challenging. Had to throw out the reilly abstraction because theres simply not enough time. Tried to focus on just the most important rhythms and capturing the twisting (or compression) of the torso. First two are 1 min and the next two 5 min.
Had fun though!

Here's my Level 1 submissions - two 2-tone thumbnails and two 3-tone thumbnails! I wanted to do more, but I was surprised by how long these took!
It was a fun challenge to boil the paintings down to simple shapes and angle changes. I was thinking almost exclusively in 2D, which I haven't really done in this course. I did get a little impatient when it came time to shade the thumbnails! I know it takes a lot of patience to be an artist, which is something I still have to work on. It kind of feels like... when you've figured out the answer to a puzzle and now you're just implementing the solution?
