Simplificiation was hardest on buffalo for me. Not sure if I overdid it. Also to credit the photographers from Unsplash, I am attaching links to the pictures I used: https://unsplash.com/photos/u_kMWN-BWyU https://unsplash.com/photos/V7SKRhXskv8 https://unsplash.com/photos/aeNg4YA41P8

Hey everyone, hope you are okay. I have a question that got basically nothing to do with the vídeo. Contextualizing, I'm a level 1, I know we didn't reach Values yet, but I'm thinking in buying one of Proko's color course, to do along with Drawing Basics. And I wanted your opinion, you guys think its too early for that or its fine to do so? If its fine, which course is the most reccommended for a beginner?

I think it's too early. I have bought the Drawing Head and Figure courses as well, and those require to have a solid understanding of the basics. For now, I recommend you go with the Drawing Basics, and keep drawing anything for now, apply new concepts that you learn here in your everyday drawings. And most of all - be kind to yourself. There will be lots of frustrations, and that is ok. If you make a mistake, it means you will get better at drawing. But you need to keep pushing and drawing, whether it's fruits, landscapes, animals, everything that you see.

God damn... I guess I will be setting up goals for myself, like Jeff said. I will try to draw more often. Especially with still life drawings, since they are much easier to do, and I can apply fundamentals that I learned here. That was a great video, I will do more thinking when drawing, and not just doing it by the feeling.

My entry. I did Master Study of Patrick Jones' Hephaestus. I really like his charcoal and oil artwork. I definetely will take his course once I'm done with fundamentals. I would really like to take the same as approach as he did and focus not only on graphite/drawing, but oil painting as well. I only focused on lines, although I do realize my proportions are off and gesture is different.

Not timed. Before move on to new lessons, record the current level.

Those look great. Can you give any tips? My poses still look extremely stiff. No idea what I'm doing wrong.

My attempt after the video. I took some liberty in making the lines thick. I think I like this final approach rather than the first one.

My submission. Had a lot of fun with this one.

I know I'm late, I completely forgot about deadline. Oh well. I learned a lot from this lecture. Mostly to use my HB pencil for searching lines, as in, due to it's ability to draw light lines I am more confident in drawing, even making mistakes. Then I just try out with 4B over those lines to draw confidently.

Day 7. I did some quick, time limited sketch, and tried out to create basic form of a person with gesture. FYI the photos are from free pack by Grafit Studio.

Day 5 and 6 for me. It took me two sessions due to other commitments.

Good job. Compared to your photo, the ellipse at the bottom of the lamp is not so wide vertically (there is less 2d space between the globe and the bottom edge of the lamp). The ellipse is also wider horizontally. Its about 3x as wide as the globe sticking out. I hope this feedback helps. 🙂
