Just the first Level 1 hand for now

Wow this was much harder than I expected it to be. It was so easy to misproportion something to the point where it no longer looked human. I'd definitely appreciate some feedback on this one.

Do you take measurements while doing these? Not with a ruler or anything, but looking at the reference and seeing that the torso/leg/arm/shoulder width is roughly x times the height of the head helped me place the lines more proportionally accurate.

This is a rough one, but I feel like it is getting better with every attempt. One that made me really get it was #6. Displaying the force the model is using really made me think of the rhythm, because my first attempt looked more like she was dangling on the rope. By adjusting the flow of the limbs I managed to make it feel more lively and forceful.

do we have to Master something before we can move on to another video lesson?🤔 I was watching your video lesson and I'm practicing drawing accurate proportions for 7 days straight, and I feel like I was making a small progress but I'm getting used to it. But, should I master matching the proportions first before I move on? or it is okay to move on to another video? Any answers will be appreciated!❤️

Once you have caught up there will be plenty of time to repeat everything you've done so far - at least that's how I'm doing it.

I went with the copy paper and set myself a goal to use all 500 sheets for practice by the end of the year. 495 to go 😋

This was fun! I included a picture of my "warm-up table" in case anyone is interested. I have a roll of paper (probably used for a plotter once .. Idk), the paper roll rests on the floor, paper comes up between table and wall, covers the table and is attached at the front with two of those things you can use to fix tablecloths to tables on a windy day. This fixes two problems for me: lots of space while not spoiling "good" paper for warm-ups and keeping the tabletop clean. Also it forces me to practise different angles since I cannot rotate the paper.

Snek!

Thank you Stan! I got a lot from this demo: look for rhythm, group features, think about the subject, oppose corners for structure to curves for gesture, starting boxes with cylinders - and use a not too sharp pencil :)

The curve he drew from the elbow to the fingertip really impressed me, I did not see that at all, but now I cannot unsee it.

My level 2, maybe more of combining 2 images rather than drawing from imagination but I’m very happy how it turned out.

I love it!

My robot ordered the wrong size of shoes and my hand is definitely something I will try again tomorrow 😅

Still not happy with the hand, but happier than with the first 😅

The penguin turned out better than expected. The hand… happened. Lol. I’ll have to try again and be more wary of the relationships between lines.

I love that hand for all the wrong reasons 😂 Out of curiosity: Did you draw the outer or inner ones first?
