These are my new attempts after watching the level 1, 2 and critique. I’ve been doing these for a few days now and it’s tough.
I’ve noticed when I start this exercise, my first couple of gestures are bad lol. I’m gonna continue doing these. Any feedback is welcome :)

Here is my attempt for level 2! I did 5 minutes per pose. I tried the overhand grip and its hard. I am not used to it but I tried in some areas. Mostly did it regular grip. This attempt is before watching the level 2 demo. Any feedback is welcome :)

Here are my attempts after watching the demo. The numbers refer to the images that are numbered. I am still struggling with this, I feel like I am kind of following the contour and not the flow. I am watching the critique video and hopefully will make improvements after. Will continue to do these.

Here are my first attempts for this project. The numbers to the references are according to the image packets Proko gave us. This is before watching the demo :)

This was probably one of the best breakdowns on how to approach and do gestures. I tried doing this a few months ago before I enrolled to Proko and it didn’t go well for me lol.
These are my notes so far and I plan to go back to these and add more notes as I plan to focus on this exercise for a while. Thank you Stan :)

I love to see examples of how shapes can apply in real life scenes like composition. Would love to explore and learn more of this in the future :)
Hey guys! It’s Tommy again. So recently I’ve been noticing that I have been having some pain and fatigue in my drawing hand (right hand) for maybe the past month or so. I’ve been worried because I’ve done some research and it could be signs of carpal tunnel or RSI. I think I’ve been holding my pencil wrong with the death grip like they say and I might be drawing more with my wrists than my whole arm.
Any advice or suggestions on how to avoid this issue or help with this issue? I’ve seen videos of artist drawing very lightly and hold it further back on the pencil and I tried it today and it feels like I don’t have “control” on my art compared to gripping it harder and I don’t want to draw to light where you can’t see it lol. I’ve been really worried about this because I’ve been enjoy art the past year and I don’t want this to stop me…or end my art journey :(.
