Portrait Drawings Started
I'm doing Proko's Portrait course, trying to go in open minded with no assumptions but it's proving tricky. So far I have just covered the videos on the Loomis method. Are the drawing exercises meant to be done of random heads (minus features) from your imagination, say, just a featureless head pointing in random directions? That might be where I am going wrong. I think I find the size/shape of the chin tricky as well. I know my drawings aren't great, they'll need repetition. I would just appreciate being told anything glaringly obvious, with respect to the course that I am following. Lastly, is it ok if I keep updating this thread as I progress through the course?

Rebooting my art learing journey - feedback appreciated
So i've been practicing drawing (almost) daily for the last 2 years or so. But I lack focus and structure. After listening to the draftmen podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od1xbX2ESP8). I've decided to bring in more structure. The podcast mentions this Redit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/learnart/comments/dapk62/from_the_guy_who_made_the_most_comprehensive_list/) with a full curriculum. My challenge will be to follow this curriculum as close as possible. I've created this topic mostly to keep myself accountable. But i will post created work regulary, and any feedback/ critique from you guys is greatly appreciated! Some personal info: -39 years old -fulltime job outside art -On average i have 1 hour each day to practise (a bit more in the weekends) -Not a native English speaker, so please forgive me the grammar and spelling mistakes :) The first unit is figure drawing. I've already followed Stan's figure drawing course before, so im revisiting the course. Here are some 2 minute and 30 second gesture drawings (drawn in Procreate). Please let me know what you think of them.

Not sure what went wrong?
After the recent project in the perspective course, I decided to start a challenge in choosing 14 different objects to draw in different angles. On 9th day of the challenge, I got sick and dizzy, kind of turned into creative mode, doddles and scribbles and stopped the challenge. The image below is a character that I created, I am satisfied with the front of it, but for the 3/4 view and the side view, the character seems like a different person, and I don't know what went wrong....

The one one the left is before i watched the video and Proko drawing the pare and one on the right is second attempt. Only thing i can see wrong is a too big core shadow, but thats probably my fault for not taking a picture of pear with less texture. XD

How to Creat a Randomized Timed Slideshow for Figure Drawing
Hi everyone! I created this tutorial on how to create a randomized slideshow of images that are timed. The program is free, all you need is windows. Sorry mac users :(. I wasn't able to upload images to this post but I went ahead and added all the steps. If you want to follow along with images you can checkout the post I made on my website. https://chrisbeaven.com/creating-a-random-timed-slideshow-for-gesture-drawing/ What I want to do is get a randomized selection of these images and show them for only a certain time. I could just pick images at random and have a separate timer going on my watch but the problem is that I tend to pick poses that I know how to draw. Plus I tend to work a little bit longer than I should on each pose. I want technology to do the work for me so I can just focus on making the best gestures possible. Here is how. 1 Organize Your Images You can use any images for this but the key here is to add all the images you want in your slideshow to a folder. I’ve put all the figure images from Proko.com in a folder on my desktop. What is great about irfanview is that it will show a slideshow of images in multiple nested folders if you choose. 2 Download irfanview Here is the website. You will want the 64bit version. https://www.irfanview.com/ 3 Install irfanView Double click the .exe file you downloaded and run through all the prompts to get it installed. 4 Setup a slideshow - After opening irfanView you will see the main screen. - Click on the slideshow icon at the top left. - Here is the screen where we will setup our slideshow. - Use the navigation at the top right to find your images folder you setup in step 1. - Click the “Add all” button and all your images in the folder chosen will be added to the slideshow. - Next, choose the “Random after [___] seconds” option at the top left. Then add your transitions time. I have mine set to 120.00 seconds which equals 2 minutes. - Then set your play mode. If you want full screen just choose the “Play in full screen mode (current monitor). If you would like to play the slideshow in a smaller window choose “Play in window mode” and pick your width, height and if you want it centered. You can even set an x and y position here if you choose. - Lastly, hit the “Play Slideshow” button. Bam! Your slideshow is playing and will transition at your set time. If you want to stop the slideshow just hit the escape button on your keyboard. I hope that is helpful!

Hand strain/fatigue
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 :(.

Need reassurance as I’m losing confidence and focus on where to go next
Is there a difference between drawing forms, and drawing forms *in perspective*? Like drawing forms knowing they don’t really make sense just for the heck of it? I’m very new to drawing but I’m dipping my toes into perspective. I don’t have anyone to show my mistakes, so I thought I’d come here for guidance. Line work is very sloppy but I’m still trying to figure out how to hold my pencil comfortably.

I am Sharing a tree: From start to end
Hi. Let me share with you my recent drawing. This idea has started by the previous drawing. Where I was gonna fit a tree In. But how to design and draw tree to an extent, where I will be happy with? I had to admit. I do not know how to do it! I went on online discussion places, talked to other artists, especially you guys from here helped me and provides me feedback. but my curiosity attracted also people who love trees! Who spent their time with them and who were that kind to share with my their observation. All informations I started to gather and went to create my own tree. I was very fascinated about making some interesting shapes. A twisted trunk felt right to me. I have gathered my notes and studies I have done in my free time. I am doing it also for my own but for you guys too. To benefit from my effort as well. If you want to become closer to master drawing trees! I hope this will help you. But trees will teach you far more about drawing, than just knowing how to draw trees👍 I would like to say- enjoy. Let me please know if you have any questions, remarks, or feedback. Thank you. Have a great day.

Best way to do proko courses
Hi everyone, I’m currently taking the Marvel Comics course, but I’m not really interested in superheroes. My main goal is to learn how to create my own comics using techniques from the best in the industry. As part of the course, there’s an assignment to draw a Black Panther and Spider-Man comic. However, I think it would be more fun and meaningful to use my own characters instead. I’m considering creating a comic based on the biblical story of Jacob wrestling with the angel. It feels like a more personal challenge since I’d need to design the characters from scratch. Should I stick with the original assignment, or is it okay to branch out and work on my own idea?

Figure Drawing Feedback
Hi! I've been going through the Figure Drawing series trying to improve my drawings of humans. So far, I just finished the video about using the "robo bean" to give structure to the torso. Attached are some figures I drew using what I learned so far from the series (gesture, structure, landmarks, etc). My main goal with them is to portray the structure of these models whiles still maintaining the gesture of their poses. I would appreciate any advice regarding this or really anything else about these drawings. I tried my best to not completely erase the "robo bean" for these figures so that it's clear how I constructed the torso. Thanks in advance for any help!

Measuring Proportions Drawing basics practice
Ive been practicing the measuring proportions part in drawing basics and Its been tough for me. Ive watched the demo, and eyeballing video several times to write down notes and get a good understand on what to do. This is a practice I did using a reference and I am alright with it. I tried to make her look pretty exactly like the reference but I just like im still far from it. I only focused on the face and didn't go detail on the hands or hair. This took me about 2 hours to complete. I think my main problem is that I am expecting this to be a finish work of art. I would like to get a critique on this practice I did because I want to improve. Lastly, I am curious why Stan decided to go with the mapping or laying out approach when doing this portrait practice. When I was practicing I was wondering how come we don't do the loomis method or something similar to get the face right? My guess is because using the loomis method requires us to think 3D? I am still on the shapes chapter and did not get to perspectives yet. Anyways any feedback or critique would be great! :)

First time Doing Reilly Method and Thoughts
I recently just learned Reilly method and told to trace it on asaro head . The activity is super amazing on familiaring you on planes of the head features. As you turn into sideview tho , I found that it will be harder to implement as the strength of the method being rhythms would be harder to implement as you go on side angle because the cues on proportions would be way different . Still super interesting method and would love to practice this exercise more . Critiques and Tips are super welcome . Will implement criticisms.

I also have this rendered drawing from a model, I would like to hear your opinion on this piece, I don't know how to create something that looks as professional as what Stan does on his Yoni demo, so any suggestion on that would be apreciated (I'm working with graphite, tho).

learning perspective by watching Pokemon
Hello Guys! how you're doing? I hope you're well So I was casually watching a pokemon anime, with no intention in mind, when all of the sudden I stopped in a screenshot that I found very interesting, so interesting that I decided to make a drawing to learn more about perspective and composition. I took a print of the image I wanted (image 1) and started guessing how am I going to setup this scene, but luckily I got some clues, by the way the camera was placed by stablishing some guidelines around the environment (image 2). Later I placed all the characters to fit inside a box(image 3), this technique I learned by studying the content of Tenten and Krenz Cushart, after doing that and being satisfied by the result now it's time to do the shading (image 4), to accentuate more the characters, and later on I decided to expand the width of my box (image 5), so that the scene becomes more wider. it wasn't really my intention to do the background, but in the end I decided to do it anyway in order to give more depth to the scene, and this is how I finished (image 6). I hope you guys enjoy it! and Happy Hollidays to yall folks! ;)

Learning/Drawing with a injury
I have been taking the drawing fundamentals course and started the new perspective course. I am a beginner, just learning to draw for myself. Last week I ruptured the tendon in my bicep of my drawing arm (rock climbing, not drawing). This week I had surgery to repair it. My arm is probably going to be out of commission for a couple of months. I can just pause everything and pick it up again once I am able to. I could keep watching the videos, but leaving the projects till later. Maybe I could try drawing with my left hand (sort of kidding, sort of not). Any advice on what to do with my courses until I am able to draw again? Has anyone else had to learn or practice drawing without being able to use their arm? Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

This drawing lacking something #2
I took the previous feedbacks that I have received from you. Thank you very much for them, that was very very helpful. Thank you! I spent days with sketching. Understanding the form. Which has improved I must say, but. It is not yet my second nature. So it is not going that fast, when draw. Yet I try to be loose, slow, and enjoy drawing. well. I took again a tree here. Because I love to draw them. So much to learn from them as well. And I have ended up with lineart, that I was quitte happy. But! Somehow colours made it less attractive and it was obvious a part, where I struggled with and started to loose patience and confidence. I would like to ask you for your feedback. Tips, do you recognise this problem too? Anything that crosses your mind. Thank you very much! cheers, Tom.

Tree drawing #2 improved?
A few days ago I have posted here my tree drawing where I was really nicely surprised by so many feedbacks I have received. I have been reading them over and over again. While I started to study more about twisted forms, trees and contours already. That made it possible for me to draw this tree. Am I completely satisfied with a result? No😑😆 It became pretty obvious that my weakness is gesture. And I think, I have not managed to move even an inch there. What do you think? I will be very happy for any critique/ feedback Thank you very much

This drawing is lacking something…
I have collected my knowledge of practicing fundamentals and blew it into this piece. A tree. I am not 100% satisfied with it. I cannot put a finger on it. But something is missing there. What do you guys think? Thanks

Can’ t get this right- twist!
Ok. I have been finding a way how to have a control over a form- let’s say a tube that you twist around. https://ibb.co/dLGSjbc It is not that difficult when it stays straight. Front plane become side plane Side plane become a back Back plane become the other side And so on… But what is going to happen if the form is changing the direction? Like that? How to connect it?🤔 That is so fat I have got.

Gesture and Proportion
I'm currently moving through the first few lessons in the gesture drawing course, and although I've done hundreds of gestures, I think my lack poor proportion skills are throwing me off big time. My stuff will come out so warped and distorted that it completely destroys the motion and energy of the gesture. I understand basic sighting techniques, but I'm slow with them, making it difficult to utilize in timed gesture drawings. It's also incredibly difficult to utilize these techniques when drawing from a reference thats on my phone or a smaller screen. I have to be at least an arms length from the reference, and at that point, the image is so small that sighting is difficult. It's not just the human form that I have issues with, my sense of proportion is terrible no matter the subject. Anyone have any tips, exercises, lessons, etc that can point me in the right direction?

Taking notes for art classes?
Hi everybody, just started the Drawing Fundamentals (I'm literally drawing pears right now). In the first videos, Stan suggests taking notes, and I think that's a good idea; problem is: I have no idea why! I also study math and programming, and I have no issues studying and taking notes with these subjects. With visual arts, instead, I struggle to understand what I should note, and how I should note that. Should I make small drawings, since it's all about visuals? Should I note how to sharp a pencil or the difference in texture between using the side of a pencil or the tip? I don't know why, but I'm really struggling.

Drawing boxes
I wanted to start practicing with boxes using an ink pen so I don’t try to fix any mistakes I make and to practice perspective. I see my lines are still lacking in confidence so that’s why I’m using a pen. Can anyone help me to improve my boxes and perspective? It would be appreciated!

Drawing tables or just tables?
Hi. I am a beginner and I'd like to know what is better between a portable drawing table or any drawing table and a regular table? It seems that drawing tables make it harder for me to draw with free arm movements. Also, I need to be able to freely rotate my sketchbook. Seeking for advices please. Thank you

Sketchbooks
Stan never told us what sketchbook he uses. He shared that he likes a spiral bindings, and a thick cover and shows us these but nowhere in the tools list does he actually say where to get these or what they’re called. What the heck!

Figure drawing feedback
Hey Guys, I would be grateful for some constructive feedback of my latest figure drawing. I think it's obvious that I made some measuring mistakes in the ribcage/sternum region and the head is skew (orientation and height). But what else is there? And what would you recommend to focus on next I could benefit most from (besides measuring/proportions)? Thank you guys

Gestural Perspective Twisting Critique Please
I could really use some guidance on twisting the boxes. No matter what I do I just can't seem to get them right. I marked all the ones I wanted to twist with an X above them. If anyone could provide some feedback I'd really appreciate it. Thank you

question about drawing cylinders / ellipses correctly
Hello, I have a question about cylinders or ellipses. I learned that the “minor axis” of an ellipse (at the end of a cylinder) runs in the direction, into which the cylinder is also tilted. And that the “major axis” is “perpendicular" to the “minor axis”.But in Michaels Hampton's book Figure Drawing Design and Inventionis a page about drawing cylinders. The cylinders are inclined differently and the “major axis” always runs straight up and the angle changes not at all. The “minor axis” also does not run in the direction of the cylinder. Why? Is this a mistake in Michaels Hampton's book? (The explanation of the illustration is on the left below.) I've just uploaded a quick sketch of what the cylinders and especially the crosses in the cylinders should look like based on what I've learned. I find this confusing and I want to learn how to draw cylinders correctly. Therefore I would appreciate an explanation. Thank you in advance :) Daniel

Using lines to indicate hierarchy of importance, light, depth
Hello everyone. This was my attempt at using line weight to make my art more dynamic? I feel like I managed to communicate light to shadow and outer form vs inner form, but I don’t really feel any sense of depth from my lines except for the fact that they represent a 3D form. Please critique, thank you :)

Sketching critique
Hi! I would like to post some of my sketches for critique. These were done during urban sketching meetings, so people I drew were moving. I gotta admit first, that I was studying some theory about drawing a lot time ago, and forgot a lot of terms. I decided to upload some fast sketches as well as more polished ones. Thanks for help!

Drawing Basics
I stopped doing this course back when we had to design a kitchen and I’m wanting to come back but can’t find a reason and motivation to do it. Everything seemed like good information but the lack of clear instructions on how to use it all in conjunction left me with nothing to do. I really want to come back but also don’t want to waste my time again. Any thoughts?

Critique please!
This is my first attempt at charcoal pencil drawing.. Looking for some critique please! Want to start experimenting with graphite and charcoal next, I really like the darks you can get from charcoal, but getting the detail in is harder.. In general, is the darks dark enough here? Are the values right? Please feel free to be critical!

Need some advice on continuing the progression
My goal is to become a Japanese style animator. I began learning to draw approximately three to four years ago. Now I can draw boxes like this, but it takes me about 15 to 20 minutes to complete one. I can understand the basic perspective (I learned this from Krenz). But I can't go any further now. I don't know what I should do next. Please give me a hint. Thank you very much!
