added comment inCritique - Rhythms
Thank you Stan for your critique. I will go practice for thousand times more.
Ever since I discovered Proko and this course, I started to feel maybe one day my dream of being able to paint anything I like would come true. Drawing is the stepping stone! And now doing the assignment and practicing drawing is my method of mental recovery after a day of busy work.
I respects you, Marshall, and Jeff. You not only teach drawing knowledge, but also try to help us beginner seeing a bigger picture.

Wanted to challenge myself so tried the overhand grip. Still getting used to it but really enjoy using charcoal pencil.
Also, tried shaving charcoal pencil for the first time today and on man they are so easy to break! My heart broke when the lead broke. T^T
Looking for critiques~
Done 7 more. Struggled a lot with 22.
The overhand grip is getting easier. Though sharpening the charcoal pencil is really painful...
Really enjoyed doing this assignment. I feel I could see the rhythm but couldn't capture it very well. Guess still need more practice. But I'm gonna take a break for a day or two...

I've come back and watch again and again. This is really a great complement to the figure gesture drawing lesson. I've created my own "book" while waiting for Stan's ebook. Thanks Stan again for this magnificent lesson!

For a moment I thought Stan added a lesson to Figure Drawing Fundamentals course. LOL.

I had a time with this horse
I don’t think I fully understand structure
Hello fellow student, I attempted your horse picture as it is such a nice picture. Left is before watching the critique video (struggled a lot) and right is after. I am also a beginner in structure. Watching Stan demo the Rhinoceros helps a lot. You can follow his and do several times. You will get better.

2 weeks ago I struggled so much with the Pelvis because I am bad at Perspective. But Marshall's Perspective course really saves me!! I spent 1 week going through his course (1994) and did exercises suggested by him, like, drawing cubes, box form play, etc. And I can definitely see improvement. I am not scared of Perspective any more, and in fact, now I enjoy it.
Here are my Pelvis drawings. I know they look off but I figured it is because I didn't think of the foreshortening.
Let me know what I can improve! Any feedback would be appreciated!!

Hi @Smartlin, nice drawings!
"I am not scared of Perspective any more, and in fact, now I enjoy it."
Hurray for that 🥳
- I think you might benefit from reading this reply https://www.proko.com/s/j2dq
- When drawing the sacrum, it might help to first identify the articulate surfaces of the illia, between which the sacrum sits.
- Be extra mindful about the centerline, and each point's distance to it.
I hope this helps :)
Can anyone explain to me how you decide which way the tilt lines overlap at an angle straight on like this? first pic is prokos example and second is my attempt. I dont know how you can tell the difference in a pose like this. Thanks.
I remember I dew the same way as yours. I thought the way the two ovates overlap in this image wasn't so clear to tell apart.

Truly inspiring! This demo has provided an in-depth explanation of Pro's thought process when doing the creation. And it really really helpful to beginner like me who has no clue of the direction. Feel I am getting a hang of it. I am going to explore and keep trying it. Thank you Proko!
