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.
These probably work better when I can do both gesture drawing and invented drawing on the same day but it takes a lot of time. Also trying some different approaches for the under-drawing on these.
558th Day of Proko and counting.
Gave it a go tonight, but my head isn't in it. I'll try again in the morning.
Trying to setup Kimon Nicolaides' exercises as my daily warmups as I'm going back to figure studies.
Blind Contour -> 10 sc Gestures -> usual 1-5 min Gestures
Master study Sargent 1 hour
How do we do master study properly instead of mindless copying? I dont think I understand Sargent's steps or why he render the strokes that way
Awesome study! I also struggle with these same problems when doing a master study. I have found that trying to study a small part of the painting rather than the whole, helps me. Like I will study only may be the nose in this painting and try to see how and why it feels interesting. I guess over time we subconsciously acquire something useful from the masters.
planned to do 6 studies, but stopped after 2nd one since that one took 35 minutes, diffused light make shading a numerous times harder
Wow! You have done a great job in dealing with the metallic materials! Awesome!
