All done before the demo. After watching the demo, I may try again and try to get more of the “flow” lines down before first.

I wanted to post again here in the demo because I noticed how once I saw how Proko showed the flow of the arm and hand everything sort of guides you with placements.

I think your lines are very clean and accurate to the source. Its really nice work!

After taking notes from the demo I went back and tried to be a lot looser and more gestural in my sketches. these took significantly less time. Sketching in red seemed to help me stay in sketch mode.

I purposely left out details for ironman, wanted the rhythm reference.

I drew this while watching the demo using more gestural lines and looking at the structure and it went so much more quickly and I think I have a much better understanding now than what I did before. (more fun too)

I've done these as extra assignments after seeing Proko's demo. It was so fun to draw from art that I like. I've let myself loose and did not put pressure on the result. I feel like I definitely need these types of drawing sessions to enjoy the process

Honestly I'm struggling with ''imaginating the whole thing'' as Proko says in 37:24. I just can't tell the diference between that and just doing the outlines. And maybe I'm doing it correctly but I don't even notice -_-.

I really like the Celeste image. It’s very dynamic. The characters have a lot much movement and your sketch of it is nice. it’s motivated me to try drawing it myself!

I think youre on the right track. ‘Design don’t copy’ is a mantra i like to keep in my head when drawing from reference.

Since I already attempted the penguin, hand, and VR girl I wanted to try something new; as per Stan's advice. So, I cracked open my Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order art book and found this bird that I wanted to give a shot. I am still trying to find searching lines, but here is my attempt. I would love feedback if anyone has some!

I tried again after watching the demo. I still find it hard to be loose.

I had a hard time loosing up with the robot girl compared to the organic lines of the penguin. I was way too focused on the clean outlines of the robot girl. One made pre demo and a second attend after watching the demo
@blackhand

Interesting. I was the opposite. Very conscious of getting the penguin right, and quite relaxed about the robot girl. Maybe because I draw birds a lot, and the robot girl was completely new?

Drawing from the shoulder is challenging but had fun with the exercise.

Used a different ref to practice extra. I feel like I understood the shapes better my second attempt. I still need to work on using light lines and focus on confident lines more. (Top is second attempt.)
