My practice for part one, done on sketchboook paper with B pencil.

A few sketches made along the video! Can't wait for the rest of the course!!

I wonder if it’s possible to get the same effects with graphite, e.g. a 2B pencil

Despite my line still needs to be improved, this is the most confident line I have ever made! Plus, I feel a lot of fun finally!!

Sketches made from video.

Drawing along, then did some online life drawing for Figruary.

Still exploring (and having a lot of fun!) , focusing on gesture and keeping my hand going. I can see myself gaining more confidence with my initial lines and being more accurate. I'm also pushing my drawings a bit further than @Patrick Jones to add structure having focused on the upper-body and the upper-back muscles with Stan prior to this course.

Following along in this first video. It usually takes me more time to understand/construct a full figure, but here I feel I’m going faster and I’m quite happy with that. Can’t wait to move forward in this course. Thanks @Patrick Jones 😊!

Hi @Patrick Jones 😀! I hope this finds you well. I have just started watching the first workshop in this course - I can’t wait to get cracking! I was simply wondering whether the reference images you use are available for download. No worries if they aren’t. Thank you! Romain ps: may I send you a private message via Instagram with regards to your Anatomy of Style online workshop?

It's such a wonderful demonstration, thank you! I learned gesture drawings from Proko, and also love Glenn Vilppu's messier gestures, but have trouble understanding his thinking. Your gestures are a perfect bridge between the two worlds, and now I understand Vilppu's gesture drawings too.

"let us not be slave to the reference"...so liberating!
