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.
Day 17: 21st Dec, 24
Did some 1 min poses!
Stan’s sketchbook tour was so inspiring that I dared to break out of my comfort zone and did some 1 min quick gestures. The figures are incomplete and proportions are off but we will get there..one step at a time :)
373rd Day of Proko and counting.
Leaning into the watercolor.
Five minute sketches.
Wow! You nailed the holiday package so well! Love the balance between gesture and structure you achieved in those!
372nd Day of Proko and counting.
I wanted to get the paints out again, but the day got away from me. Just a few two minute sketches tonight.
371st Day of Proko and counting.
I was inspired by today's Proko sketchbook tour of Bryce Khos watercolor figures. I've done a few of these in the past, but no where near as many as I should be doing.
So here are some five minute watercolor sketches from tonight. Hopefully, I'll stick with it this time and do more watercolor figures in 2025.
Awesome! I compare yours with mine and keep learning from you..Love the shadow shapes you captured on that difficult foreshortened pose!
Also from the holiday pack, 2 min. Different pencil, different paper than usual and in a different location. Feels weird -
Awesome work..getting the proportions right in 2 min poses is a challenge!
You're getting out of your comfort zone, which isn't a bad thing. That's a good habit.
Some quick gesture studies from the holiday pack
2 min poses
Day 12: 16th Dec, 24
368th Day of Proko and counting.
Just a few five minute sketches. I spent a good chunk of the day working on my latest master study and one of my comics.
367th Day of Proko and counting.
I did one minute sketches of all the photos in the Christmas challenge photo pack in preparation for my entry..
You're doing a great job with finding the gesture and not getting bogged down in the details of all the bumps in the form. It's really helping you establish the gestalt of the pose. The challenge will be not skipping this step on longer poses. Great job!
I like how you’re finding the forms of the hips as they connect to torso and leg. I struggle with that a lot, but I like what I’m seeing here. Really cool!
Your 1 min poses inspire me so much, I struggle even with the 2 min ones.. Yours are incomplete, yet lovely!
366th Day of Proko and counting.
I didn't know there was a Proko Christmas challenge going on!
This one is tough, so I used the morning to get familiar with the photo reference we have to work with. Two minute sketches.
