I've bought more than a few courses and follow a few I don't own. By looking at "My Classroom" I certainly can't tell which is which. I don't know if a distinguishing mark was ever a feature in the past, but it certainly would be a good idea in the future.

My attempts at this assignment. I like to keep things as simple as possible. I hope these can help some students out there.

Here's my first boots attempt, took forever lol. I probably just overthought a lot of it tho, rather than working quickly, which led to the longer time. That'll be something I work on improving for my snail attempt.

What can we check against our value scales to see whether it's a good progression or not? Like how do we check against the "right answer" lol. Or is there even a "right answer" to really strive for?

will this work in procreate on a tablet?

Yesterday and Today's practice. Next up is animal simplification.

Throwing this out there, but I've rewatched/listened to the draftsmen clip on "How to Approach Figure Drawing (A Guide for Taking Proko Courses)" and one question I thought of recently was how it applied to structure and anatomy. Right now I'm revisiting the figure course and my plan was to split off and practice the drawing basics "How perspective works" and "Intuitive perspective" sections and then afterwards go back to the figure course and go up to mannequinization. Afterwards either jumping straight into anatomy and taking a break sometime during the course to bounce between portrait courses and back to anatomy or vice versa. Anyways the main question is, what would be the wisest decision to go about building up to anatomy? Should I not take a small "side quest" 💀 and visit the basics course for structure, and just jump straight into anatomy? Introducing myself to it now and when I want a break from anatomy later, going to the basics course to practice structure for a bit? Or the opposite, and continue working on structure through the figure and other courses till I have it down well enough, where I feel I can handle the complex structure anatomy brings. A bit of a long winded question but I tried my best to say it clearly lol, anyways thank you for anyone considering reading all that and helping :)

So many things I'm struggling with lol, like how exactly to draw from observation. I look, observe the subject for a solid like 30 sec to a minute, looking at the edges, curves, how many planes are showing, etc. Then look at the page and still struggle a bit to draw what I remember, but when I look at the subject again and bounce back and forth, I get a bit tripped out since the perspective slightly changed so deciding between being faithful to the drawing or to the subject is kinda rough. I haven't really thought of tapering yet, since I'm drawing from observation, but I do want to try adding varying degrees of tapering/foreshortening once I draw from imagination (all of this was from observation). Line quality, how to actually draw an elipse, and other stuff are a bit frustrating too lol, but I'm honestly not stressing over it, so far this exercise has been pretty fun despite me complaining so much 💀

Props to the Proko team for giving us such a valuable video ;)

It's been a while since I properly did some technical drawing and since I'm not happy with my art at the moment, I thought it would be good to go back to basics and refresh myself on the fundamentals. Here's some 1 minute gesture drawings I did this morning. The main thing I picked up on during my session is how sketchy or scratchy my lines can be, which I believe I can improve on by limiting myself on the number of lines I'm allowed to use. Is there anything else I can improve upon with my gesture studies?
