Hi, Sara speaking! I'm following the first lesson of this classroom and I tried to draw along the woman's figure together with the teacher (after having watched it once beforehand): that would be the figure on the left. Then I came back to it twice, stopping the video, and tried to correct the things that seemed off to me compared to the lesson's drawing (figure to the right, red for the firs batch of corrections, blue for the second. I am of course probably still wrong cause I'm "correcting" my own drawing). I decided to post because I found it very interesting how twisted is the internalised idea I have (and maybe many women alongside myself) of what the proportions of a woman should be (my take 1)! Very elongated (too elongated! especially long legs!), super high and cinched waist, awfully small head and incredibly wide hips... it was very interesting to realise how off and unrealistic are the proportions my brain believes to be the "standard" ones for women (and that maybe it feels it has to adhere to!). Just thought I'd share, if anyone else finds it interesting too :)

Some gesture drawings today. I’ve been taking both prokos figure drawing fundamentals and this class.

Hi! Here's some of the gestures I did for the lesson. These are the better ones I drew in the batch.

Hello! This is my take on sketching gestures and figures based off the references from the video. My lines can get messy on my first try of sketching the gesture, so I reduce the opacity then sketch on top of it with a new layer (even if that would mean it’ll take longer to finish).

Could you upload a pdf of the full anatomy at 36:30? That would be helpful to have in my sketchbook

I'm so confused, it's not playing the video in the browser, and when I download the video it starts off saying it's the video for the third lesson? where's lesson 1 and 2? O:

For some reason I'm only seeing the thumbnail of the video (as a photo) and there's no play button for the video itself. Has anyone else had this issue? I've gotten the same error on mac, ipad & iphone.

My internet is really bad, is there a chance this lesson also gets lower quality settings then 1080p, like the others? This lesson won't even start, the others work fine with lower resolution.

Hello everybody! I'm an illustrator from Austria, working for years without profound anatomy-skills. I did a lot of life drawing years back during my studies, but never really learned the theory. So I thought it's about time to change this, and I'm happy the course started today.
I liked the first lesson and wanted to share my first results with you. Usually, I draw on paper, but decided to do this in Photoshop to improve my digital skills, too. Lots of other things to improve - feedback is very welcome :-)
