Figure Drawing Practice:

  • Aim to draw 5 to 10 figures per week, following a specific process or workflow.
  • This routine provides guidance and guardrails to prevent feeling overwhelmed or disconnected during the drawing process.
  1. Consistent Application:

    • Commit to following this routine for at least a month to see significant improvements in understanding form, perspective, and proportion.
    • Track progress and observe results over time to gauge improvement.

Took my time with the course and saw real improvement. I struggle with several things but noticed a reoccurring issue I have is leg placement and length, especially in more stiff poses. I plan on going through the lessons again after combing through the book. Thank you.

Had a little tiny break-thru today :) While practicing. I have found my gestures as being a little overworked. I was spending to much time on them, and they were not looking gesture like. It got to the point where I was reversing step 5 (perspective)) and step 6 (anatomy.) I realize there is no single “right” way, but am trying to stay true to the process. Then I had a model pose that gave me some trouble with the perspective. It was a view of the model from above, and I was having trouble with the shoulders and chest, etc. After finishing the sketch, and not happy with it, I tried another quick sketch, but this time I started with perspective as my first step. Once I had the upper body and hips in two simple perspective boxes, I could easily see the structure of the shoulders, chest, and hips. Little wins.

Very cool. I like how you're using the process to problem solve!
