Five and Ten minute sketches. It's my first time picking up a brush in about a week and I felt a little rusty.

These feel like finished works in a lot of ways. They have so much to take in. The colors are evocative and your choices in which forms to highlight are inviting visually. I enjoy the abstractions offered here too. They’re quite striking, Gannon.
Great gestures! Those figures in space though; they have me really impressed. Such an excellent practice and so valuable. Awesome stuff!

5 and 10 min watercolor gestures
I’m a sucker for monochromatic studies and these are awesome! I like how you’re painting the shadow as form. It’s elegant and exciting to look at. Really great!
1 min, 2 min and 5 min gestures
Wow. Lots to love here! Great weight to these. The delimitation of form is wonderful. You’ve captured the movement of dance so firmly with these. Beautiful work!

Still working out how best to combine space and gesture. 10 minutes is a pretty short duration for these
I really like where this is going. It feels essential to drawing from any imaginary angle. Really cool!

Sooooooo I missed a day yesterday. I've been charging through a bunch of deadlines and got so caught up in it that I forgot until I was already in bed.
Getting right back on the horse with a few two minute sketches.
It was bound to happen eventually. Even Superman oversleeps sometimes. It was never about the streak anyways; it's about the habit, the practice, and the phenomenal progress you've made. Great energy in these btw. You'll always be the Ironman of Proko to me, Gannon.

1min, 2min, 5min - Same model throughout. Free model pack from Grafit Studio over on gumroad if anyone is interested. Hope you’re all doing well. Take care.
I like that when you post, it's like a dam broke. It's amazing to me how consistently good these gestures are. Andrew Loomis said that everyone does good ones and bad ones, but not on this day. You rocked it from beginning to end.
good job again! Your 5 min page really shows your culmination progress from previous pages
Wow! You are a perfect example that a practice session with a high quantity of drawings never means that the quality got compromised.

On my 100th day of being a part of this community, I would like to extend my gratitude towards everyone here. Thanks, Gannon for starting this thread in the first place! Many many thanks to you, Joseph, William and Dedee and others for being a wholesome part of this journey.
I am not celebrating my 100th day as it's not the finish line, and there is no finish line indeed, but I am just taking this opportunity to express how grateful I am to have you all, drawing with me, motivating me and keep me going!
Day 100: 14th March, 2025
10 min watercolor portraits
I am so happy to have your work and effort documented for us all here. Your encouragement and community involvement in this thread could not have come at a better time for myself! You found Gannon and everyone here as I was struggling and fading away into the background, and you’ve made this little bit of internet all the better. Thank you for that. I appreciate all your effort so so much! All the best.
