Hey. I did some 2 min and 10 min sketches. For a few of them, I gave them an additional 10 mins because I was curious where they would go.

The shading block-ins, and layout of the page with three female warriors is too cool!! Love it
@mua
10-20 min structure drawings. Some of these I got caught up on detail, others I think I very successful. I sometimes tried to create a through line of gesture, structure, and moving into a more developed drawing when I felt like it was going good. But that did lead to some of them being a too unstructured, or demonstrating structure in my opinion. I'd like to do one of the portraits later.

A few more.
@mua
I wanted to spend the day locking in gains from previous lessons, and experiment a little on trying to "paint" or "chisel" more with graphite. Also trying to figure out what a "finished" drawing looks like to me now. Did have fun and found more areas needing improvement and some new ideas to try.

I am looking at these afterword to assess them for stuff I'm doing wrong. This one was bothering me a lot and I couldn't see why. I realized I didn't model the lips at all. It didn't fix everything but it improved it a lot.

Various 3 min and and a 5 min study. I did feel like some of the gestural lessons from yesterday were helpful from becoming too stiff.
@mua
I did a variety 90 sec, 3 min, and 5 min gestures. Never felt like I became fluid enough. Also tried drawing figures in different sizes to see if it would loosen my hand up. I did notice my vision start to shift to rhythms first, but I think I will have to start doing gesture on a regular bases to "get it" better. There's some nice shapes here and there throughout though.

I can't recall the last time I ever drew armor. I was/ am attempting an ink one. If it turns out alright, I'll post it up.

Really amazing job, you are using what you’ve learned really well even in this unfamiliar situation. Phenomenal

A really challenging day. These were all 10 mins that I took further to 20, 30 and 60 mins prospectively after I struggled so much with the back pose. Interior details need remeasured and values need some better organization. I took some notes for later. I enjoyed today none-the-less. Hope everyone else is doin' good.

Did 4, 5 min poses. Then I wanted to know what a 5 min portrait would look like, and try to stay away from detail like yesterday. Then a 10 min portrait that I took to 1 hour. Tried to keep the interesting detail to the slight diagonal of the front of the model's face. Found making choices within an hour hard at times.

I'm blown away
@mua

One more. The structure of the eyes are wobbly, the cranium is slightly too small, but there's some energy to it I suppose. In all the portraits I really had to fight going into too much detail. I appreciated the time constraint revealing that.
@mua
Marshall hands. I wanted to make a page of hands that additionally focus on the whole page's composition to correct for the mistake I made with placing things yesterday. The middle and lower four are 10 mins, the upper right is 5 mins, and the thumbs up hand in the upper left is 25 mins. I erased and redrew it 4 times. I just wasn't getting it for some reason so I slowed down and kept started over.
