Daily Drawing With Timer Challenge
1yr
Gannon Beck
I enjoyed the habit of drawing everyday during the 12 Days of Proko. The timer tool is great and there are lots of professional photos to work from. I took one day off from it and got right back on it. Now the habit is a fixture in my daily routine.
I've been posting the images in the two week challenge thread in the Drawing Fundamentals Course, but since a.) this will be a longer habit than two weeks and b.) not everyone on Proko is enrolled in that course, I'm starting a thread here.
Anyone inclined, feel free to join in. Use the timer and whatever photos you have packs for, or are freely available.
Here are a few two minute sketches from me--mostly from the Viking Volume 2 Pack.
22nd Day of Proko and counting.
404th Day of Proko and counting.
Not enough energy for a long session tonight. Just a couple four minute gestures.
Keep getting better and better, the top middle one so slick, bot left is that a machine gun? xD
2 min gesture, Starting to realize that my male figures tend to be stiffer than the female figures
403rd Day of Proko and counting.
Five minute watercolor sketches. A bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few here that I like.
Beautiful sketches! The left ones of the 3rd and 4th image are my favourite!
6th image really feel the pull that guy make, also good work with the value for 1st image right side, it is the most readable without zooming in
Attempting perspective and wrapping lines around cylinders. Certainly needs a lot of practice
I can feel the wedging of their calves to their thighs on these back poses, nice work!
some 1 min, 2 min and the last one 5 min pose. Subconsciously focused on the contours too much.
Good work. The third one on the bottom is my favorite. Although you said you focused too much on contours, I don't think you did on that one. It has nice flowing lines and you captured the pose well.
Cool ones! You have captured the twist in the 3rd one of the bottom row of 1st image quite gracefully!
402nd Day of Proko and counting.
Just a few two minute sketches tonight. I wanted to do some watercolors, but I'm running out of minutes in the day.
For the fourth image, I think its okay to draw the stick that the person is holding pass through and into the floor, so that we can feel where the stick ends and get the sense where the floor is. Also I can feel his hand pressing on the stick, good work!
the third image torso is really bending, and the leg is holding up, 1 and 3 have nice balance!
Good work. I love how you built the second and third images on beautiful 'S' curves.
Two minute gestures.
My lines dont feel really into the flow today, probably because we're getting ready to go outside, the rush feeling is enough distraction apparently
I've had the same thing happen. It's hard to dial all the way in when other commitments are pulling at your attention. Still, just showing up is a victory.
Even rushed there's lots of good stuff going on in these. One thing in particular that I'm seeing is that you're doing a good job of getting the figures to interact with the ground plane. That can be hard, especially for figures lying down.
I think your lines are quite dynamic! They definitely give a sense of motion.
You make this thread feel so colorful and happy! Specially loved the left ones of the 5th and 7th image.
The way you use color are very freeing!
Cant wait to start tackling color too but I want to delay it until better unsterstanding value first

Really dig the colors. So vivid
I had the worst day today in terms of gestures.. I have never hated each and every one of my gestures that I did in a day…Still going to post some of them here :(
Day 44: 17th Jan, 2025
5 min poses
I've heard sayings that: "The best artists have the most trash in their trails" Dont worry about it!
We all have good days and bad days, but I'm glad you posted these. There is still some good stuff here, especially in the last one which I think is quite nice.
Pardon if you dont mind that I sneaks in so that I have accountability to do timed drawing daily^^
1 min gesture drawing
Welcome! You're off to a great start. You've got a great sense of form with these--especially the one on the top left.
Wow! The clarity of lines and shapes that you get in 1 min is incredible! Even the incomplete ones are read so clearly!
Beautiful work! All your figures are so well balanced. The one in the middle right of the first page, where he is bending over is particularly well done.
400th Day of Proko and counting.
Just some two minute gestures tonight. I'll do some watercolors in the morning.
Good work. Really good shapes on the arm of the lower left figure. The straight on the bottom against the rhythms on the top are well handled.
Colorful and dynamic as always! My personal favourite is the left pose of the last but one image.
Nicely done. The upper right gesture of the first page is my favorite. That swooping line is gorgeous.
