Portrait Drawings Started
By Jake
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
By Geert-Jan
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.

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!

Learning from George Bridgman
By Max Long
This is a master study that I did last year from the Watts On Bridgman anatomy book and online course. I essentially copied Jeff Watts interpretation of a Bridgman image (master study 😁). Critiques welcome. Hopefully, one day I will be able to intuitively design anatomy like this. Cheers!

Progress of the Month 1
Throughout a whole month I've been practicing gesture on a daily basis. I was alternating between digital and pencil on paper, here is the firs attempts in comperison with the last day. I´ll be glad to hear any thoughts about them, if you see a progression, if I lost some qualities from the first ones, etc.
Thanks for your time!

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.
