#DrawingBasics

I would appriciate any feedback :)

Hello Community! There are some incredible artists here! I finally joined Proko! I'm a fresh 49 and I gave myself a 365 day challenge to learn to draw "Properly". No more saying" I wish I could draw like that!". I started drawing DAILY on Jan.2 2025. I've always kinda doodled. Never had any formal training. I am an artist to the core by proxy of music my entire life. I just took up astrophotography last year. I'm ready to take my artistry to the next level. I'm here on a mission. I am doing daily drawings and at least 1 class module from one of 4 instructors. I scoured and found the best teachers that fit me. We all love Stan of course. I have classes with Stephen Bauman, Brent Eviston and Gemma Chambers for colored pencils. I am having the time of my life but also doing an unhealthy amount of learning and drawing. XD So i'm starting this class with roughly 3 months of hard drawing and I would guess around 100 hours of class/ lecture time. Here are my day 1 baselines and all the heads I've done up to this week and some random stuff... Drawing is absolutely a skill. We all can learn! Lets do this! I am dead serious about this....

I DRAWING MY CHARACTER.

Hello everyone - I am new here. The Guided Lesson certainly helped me understand Values and layering better. Enjoying the class after decades of not drawing. Feedback welcomed.

Hey all, I'm new to the course, and looking forward to learning and growing with you all. I am not the best at drawing, but after recently having my daughter I've been inspired to take up drawing as something we can hopefully do together once she gets a little older. See you all out there!

Hey everyone! I'm excited to learn to draw! This is my first attempt at drawing the pear. it was fun but seeing the values are difficult! Any feedback or critique would be awesome.

The video does not work. All I get is a picture.

my drawing: beginners drawing

nice one!!

Hey crew, i recently bought this course to help me back up into the drawing world again after taking a bit of a break from it. I learned drawing at my local community college but like I just stated took a break. So I am jumping in this course to refresh my memory of learning to have fun drawing again after a bit of a break. So I am glad to get back into the swing of things again. especially with prokos company.

Before and after the demo 😂 I didn't have the darkest shade for now but it's clearly an upgrade😂😂

My first take on a pear

My first take on "The Pear"

First drawing. I am using procreate on iPad instead of a real physical pen or pencil. Is that okay for beginners? Also this drawing was done with shaping other than lines. Did I miss the point of the exercise?

What do you think?? I came back to drawing after a long time

This feels like a silly question, but here goes. I think it's been stated in this course and in the Draftsmen podcasts the importance of having a community and receiving feedback. I feel bad just taking critique and not paying that forward or reinvesting into the community, but at the same time, I don't feel very qualified to give feedback since I'm so new to drawing and art in general. Should I still attempt to do so, despite these feelings? I suppose I could always preface my posts with a statement that I'm a beginner.

First drawing

Hey Gang! Just joined to polish my fundamentals! It's something I kinda rushed past out of sheer enthusiasm and lack of focus or mentorship or community! So, I'm keen to start or join a group of like-minded enthusiasts! You can find me here or on instagram or the drawingFORCE Discord server @the.y.method. I'm always good for a critique if you need one or are stuck, or some encouragement and reinforcement if you're feeling down! Have fun drawing and making art!
