I love your book, and I'm excited for this course! Hope to take your anatomy course later in the year.
Michael Hampton
Thank you! Looking forward to it as well.

Heck yea I'm excited about this one! I've got your book Michael and I think it's great, but I'm dumb and well... dumb brain not read good 😂 This course will help to visualize the process as it happens. Can't wait to get started!
Michael Hampton
Hahaha. It's tough to learn just from books. I also always needed to see something done.

Loving this so far. Thought I still have a few questions I would love to have answered before begining the assignment - Regarding the first step, how do you know where to place the lines that show the direction of the head in realation to the circle. Is there a specific rule about it? What part of the anatomy does each of them reperesent? - Proko says that cross countours should wrap around the entire form of an object, and I find it really difficult to do that without losing the direction of the browridge - The neck in general. Just like figure drawing, there is a stretch and a pincht, but I just struggle to see any of what I'm drawing in the actual reference.

It might be useful to watch the critique video. It might help answer your questions.
@rtpowell
I have been taught mid head top to bottom should be mid eye. I find following your steps top half falls short. Am I wrong or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.
Michael Hampton
All good. You can substitute whatever proportional breakdown you want at this point. I find this is best especially when working from views other than straight on.
@thirdkoopa
Which would you recommend to start with? Your Gesture course or Intro to Figure Construction course?
Michael Hampton
Probably the Gesture course.
Carlye Luft
Will this course get me started on drawing figures in various gestures and perspectives from what I imagine in my head or will we be extrapolating gestures from given photos only?
Michael Hampton
A little of both. I focus on describing gesture from reference but with the intention of being able to invent later on.

For this one I tried to apply a 3 values study according to the volumes of the face. But with hard edges only
Michael Hampton
Nice
@zetaboffin
Michael Hampton is this your final course for Proko?
Michael Hampton
There might be something planned for the future ...
Richard Hall
Michael does this course coincide with your book on Gestures or is the book stand alone reading?
Michael Hampton
Yes, it does. I designed them at the same time. They're complimentary. That isn't to say you need them both though.
Bill Lear
Joined a few days ago. Great content @Michael Hampton ! Hoping for feedback on these four 4-step images, particularly wrt perspective. Thanks!
Michael Hampton
Looking good! Keep at it. I think watching the critique video will help fine tune what you're up to.
