The beginner drawing course mentions reference photos “below.” I’m not seeing a link for those. I found the library for reference photos in “tools,” however those do not look like they belong in the intro to drawing course

The image packs come additional with some excercises in the course. When you arrive at the specific video lessons, it's in the download area under the video. Normally you can download the video mp4 + subtitles + script (same as subtitles). There will be the reference photo packs, but not in every video lesson, just in a few. For me in personal, the course is great; it feels that it lifts me from super beginner - advanced beginner - pro. Have fun.

Will proportions and measurement be part of this course?
Stan Prokopenko
Yes, there is a lesson, several demos, and critique video on measuring accurate proportions. Here's a link to the first lesson and you can use the playlist to move on to the others: How to Draw Accurate Proportions

@Proko Hi, Will there be projects related to shading sculptures and drapery in this course? I hope so, all the lessons are very useful and I have made a lot of progress in terms of understanding and line quality, now the most ‏ difficult part in drawing is shading. (Shadow & light).🥲🔥⚡️great course Stan ❤️

Values are very important. This lesson helped me to make this drawing.

I tried making the highlights pop by making the surrounding area a slightly more shaded in color, but i feel like it looks odd. Can't tell where I went wrong but any advice is appreciated 🥲

I did take the video guide, kinda rushed it in the end I have hopes of getting better

I watched the video on pencil grip but I was curious if I should be trying to practice drawing without resting my hand on the paper so that the only point of contact is the pencil? Is it okay to rest part of my hand on the paper to help stabilize? Or am I overthinking this and I should just do whatever works for me?

It really depends on what you're trying to get the result for. Like if you are working on small details, resting your hands on the paper would not affect it and it might also be comfortable to your hands. Unlike if you are starting off a drawing and lets say you want to make the foundation by making the bigger outline and all the significant areas, resting your hands might not give you the desired result.
