Based on what you described, having the feeling of grasping the ideas and understanting that each concept and exercise is something you can always look back at any moment, you are indeed ready to start practicing the next concept. You can use the feeling that you just described as an indicator of when to move to the next lesson. However, keep in mind that you shouldn't stay for more than 1 or 2 weeks in a given exercise, if you pass that period time in a lesson, move on to the next one, remenber that everything builds on top of other concepts, venturing to something a little bit more complex can help you learn better a previous concept, that's why revisitting lessons is so important. Hope that helps to your art journey!

Here is a selection of my gestures from the last 10 days. I pulled out ones that had some aspect that I was happy with. 2 minutes ones at the top of the page and 30 seconds ones at the bottom. I'm still struggling to complete the figure in 30 seconds. I have noticed a bad tendency to leave pieces "floating on their own" instead of connected to the rest of the figure. This critique video commented on this around the 42 minute mark, so I'm trying to make improvements. Part of the source of this is that once I put down one side of a limb, I struggle a little to know what to do with the other side and I'm often unhappy with the results. I'm pleased with my growth since the last set of images I posted: https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-draw-gesture/assignments#x1x My line quality is better (on average). I'm doing better at drawing the action instead of the contour. I'm starting to use darker (more confident) lines (still needs work). I would love to hear any criticism on my work and any suggestions on a good pace to focus my efforts for improvement. Encouragement of my strong points is always nice, but I'm especially interested to hear an external perspective on where my weak points are.

The first four are all from references during the course video. Some are doubled up. For those, I drew once when the reference was first shown and once after Stan showed his gesture drawing. Apologies for the low contrast. I'm still figuring out my best practices for digital work. I think I need to do my final lines a bit stronger. I was really pleased to look back and see some improvement from the first page (and older work from before the course) to the last page. I'm working to try and improve my line quality. I am happy in places with how it looks. I'm still having difficult with pulling a long line. Partly I'm still getting used to the digital pen, and partly I just need more line practice. I think I am often doing too much outlining and not enough capturing the action... particularly on the last day where I frequently found myself wanting more than my allotted 4 minutes. That said, I'm really pleased with how some of the figures on the last page turned out. I'd be thrilled to receive any feedback.
