Hello ,Here is my submission for the last week of gesture drawing challenge. i wanted to work in traditional this time . all the best to everyone. it was fun to do this challenge, But also get to know about many things that are needed to be study more.looking forward to learn from masters..

Week 3. This was hard work…. Phew!

Dandelions. Combining Overlaps and Diminution. Not all dividing went right, but I found that drawing the next line 90 degr on the former made it easier. And not looking at the pencil, but focusing on the center point + end point made the hand follow better. The first cross is the hardest. Once you get into a flow it’s nice. Need to do this more, obviously.

The 30°-60°-90° triangle and the 45°-45°-90° triangle really are magical. It brings me back to math class—making the 'magical' angles even more fascinating when expressed in radians or even complex numbers. For example: arg(√2/2 * i + √2/2) = π/4 → 45° Did I lose sight of the lesson's goal? Maybe. But it’s a fun side quest to explore the math! Even 17 videos into the course, it still feels like the beginning—training my impatience to grow more patient.

Not easy, but maybe with more practice... (and studying the great posts here) First attempt: Nocturne Railway Crossing Chicago by F. Childe Hassam. 1893, watercolour. The second image is a print by Frank C. Eckmair; Monday Evening. I included the DOFCA's.

Week 1 all first attempts. Week 2 - I felt I had lost it and tried different tools. Those 1 minutes seem over in 3 seconds… all images are also first takes. With more attempts: the more thinking the more fails. Thanks for the challenge!

I think I made the shoulder blades too small. But the distance between the landmarks in the reference photo doesn't seem to be that big.

Another art tip for this assignment!

Wow, so many good posts here! Again here a few more attempts… I really have to get better at this before I start with painting.

A little bit of both assignments. But I don’t know if it’s an optical illusion, more graphic probably.
