To be honest, I’m not too happy in the way that this course is being handled. There’s no schedule to see when lessons will be uploaded and 2 lessons over 3 weeks is unacceptable considering the presale starting date. I always thought the lesson were being created while waiting for the release date on February, but I guess I was wrong.
Michael Hampton
Sorry to hear you're unhappy. All lessons have been recorded minus the critique videos. Please know that Proko does have a no questions asked refund policy.
@tocohasmail
will this course go over construction methods for quick gesture drawing? like one minute poses, two minute poses, five minute poses, etc?
Michael Hampton
There's no construction in this course as in developing the figures perspectives.
Nicholas Welch
Would you recommend taking this course before or after intro to figure construction?
Michael Hampton
I guess it would make the most sense to take this course first.

Question: The 3/4 view... Generally speaking, you say the edge of the face should be parallel to the tilt. Do you mean parallel in 2 point perspective?
Michael Hampton
Yes, I believe that's what I mean. I just don't want the angle of the face to not match my initial 2D lean.

This is hard but also very fun to do. I'm improving so much thanks to these lessons. Open jaws really confuse me tho, I dont really understand it, yet! But I will..
Michael Hampton
Looking good!

Some of today’s pieces. Since my last update I would say I have identified why some faces were coming out too long and fixed that, now I think I need to work a bit on the profile views otherwise I’m happy with my progress. Any comments or tips are more than welcome, thanks.
Michael Hampton
Looking good!

Will this course be for all gestures? An understanding of how gestures work in everyday organic stuff and not just humans?
Michael Hampton
It's a course on gesture drawing for the figure.
Stevie Roder
Watched the video last night. Really insightful first intro lesson Michael. I actually pretty much learned the basics from it on what to think about gesture drawing and how to approach it. I am looking forward to the upcoming lessons now. I also loved the in-depth of having us think why n how were doing it as well. Very fun things to take notes on.
Michael Hampton
Glad to hear that!
