Hey Basics students. I'm quite sick, probably flu, so the next lesson is a bit delayed. If you're looking for something to do, I would recommend researching some old master painters and illustrators and doing 3-value studies.
I was going to announce it with the next lesson, but it'll be useful now, so please check out:

It's essentially the gradient map tool in Photoshop but made much more convenient and some additional features. It's something I hacked together in a day so apologies if there are any bugs. I'll have my dev team remake it professionally later.
Let me know your thoughts.
Have to give a shoutout to @Gannon Beck! A bunch of you probably know Gannon from getting feedback from him, seeing his stuff, or just chatting during livestreams. He's been such a solid part of our community here.
We did a Timer Challenge last year during the 12 Days of Proko, and he decided to keep it going. Today hits his 365th Day of Proko. Wa Wa Wee Wa! He's been grinding every single day for the past year and made some good progress. His gesture drawings hit different now, his lines cleaner, more efficient, more dynamic, and you can tell he's way more confident with his strokes.
His thread - https://www.proko.com/community/topics/daily-drawing-with-timer-challenge
He also inspired several others to post in the thread too :)
Lot's of respect for sticking with it for a whole year, Gannon. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Is it recommended I do this course on paper, or can I do all the assignments on my tablet

Back on this course again after a brief hiatus... One of my goals in 2025 is to improve my drawing skills, hopefully be able to do some full poses by the end of it! Wish me luck xx
