wow, inspiring, with the energy, sense of movement and tensions and how they are grounded.

Nice!, cool drawings :) , and looks really solid, both orthos and with perspective (just wonder though if one wouldn't see just some of right side wings on big plane to the right).

This was tricky, starting out with the master studies part. Inspiration was high and the drawings felt they would be clear cut to work from, but hit a wall in each and every one. And especially study 3, 8 and 10 went bad, didn't get it with the torso and hip lines.
Really hope to get some of it cleared up in the review, seeing more examples and corrections. Struggling with torso if line is spine/contour/some overall gesture line. And also hips with so few lines gives trouble. Also think I confuse gesture with form and volume, latter perhaps not needed at this stage.
Also nice with more lectures beeing posted, and really happy the gesture book arrived in mail today. Head down, push forward🙂
Also adding from imagination. Not really quick scetches, time and time again getting stuck. Especially on the hip area. And on getting past a blank page and mind.😐

Really wan’t to break out of the ’draw as you see’ outline based way of drawing, otherwise having done a tone of life drawing. Also from time to time starting out with basic forms eggs/boxes/etc, but still feel to locked to more strictly copying the pose and appearance. But now while drawing along with the examples It feels exciting this way of thinking/working.
Then trying out on new poses I realize it will take _some_ more practice and understanding though 😬😅 Really tricky with the hips/buttocks and with the leg connections. And got completely stuck on the legs on leftmost figure, going over and over making it worse with every attempt. But guessing I'm too much tied to the outlines, trying to distill and find the rytms from that. Well just to try again I guess, also really looking forward to upcoming lessons!
And also need to rewatch this lesson. Realize I managed to drop almost every principle Michael brought up. And there also was this list for nr of lines for each part. 1 line for weight bearing side of the hip, 2-3 each leg and 16-17 for the whole body it's shown. Oh well...

First draw along and test the concepts, then some practice and try out more.
After the blobs with objects, now the pancakes opens up a new way into environments and backgrounds. Awesome 😃. This whole approach is so helpful, focusing first on developing the creative intuitive side.
starting out pics. Also realizing the diminution of forms/semblance of vanishing points is way off in most of the drawings. But that's for another day to think about🙂

This was fun for the most part. I tried messing around and cutting/ scooping out mass from these forms. What confused me the most were forms (like the one circled in the second image) where the bottom plane touches the floor, under the horizon line, and the top plane ends over the horizon line. I don't know why, but it just looks weird to me.
(I mean, a lot of stuff kinda looks weird in this, but especially those kind of forms.)
Looks cool :) When the top plane is that close to the horizon (judging from it's side verticals) it would probably be almost a flat line.
(and with the bottom plane there are several ghosted lines, i'd think the lowest seems right, unless the 'island' stretches really really far into the image while also becoming really wide)

Fun to see all the activity in here :), here myself adding some stuff to a plane doing a very loosely A-10 based plane to turn around. Has to remind myself to be sure to check constistency within the basic three sets of lines. Proportions...ah, well..
