We are continuing to make progress. Between the last post and this, I have completed the landmarks section of the Proko Figure Drawing class.
It is interesting. For the past few lesson groups, I have always been surprised at the visible progress that I see by the time I reach the end. Will that continue? Time will tell. However, it is something that I have always believed. … Here I must quickly insert that I have been putting in the time and doing regular practice. Most weeks I hit at least 30 mins of practice almost every day of the week. If I miss two days in a week that would be extraordinary.
The ability to put in this amount of practice is likely related to the current Covid-19 pandemic. This makes it easier to not have to dodge extra events. However, I think there is still a push that has to be made … as truthfully … somedays I don’t feel like drawing. Not that often. But somedays. Let’s see how long my consistency can hold out.
Anyway, enough rambling. This is one of the few times that I have my critique back before I make the post. And it turned out very well. Not much to fix on this run as this lesson is largely about lining up different landmarks on the body. Not so much about the drawing themselves.
Now, I must say that before any art experts jump in and point out all the things that are wrong with the drawings. Remember, this is my first drawing class. The critiques are done taking into consideration where you are coming from and … in some sense … I guess you also want to keep people motivated to continue on.
As per normal, I usually turn in the drawings that I think turned out the best. If you want to look through all my practice since the last post you can find it in the pdf below.
I’m on to the Robo Bean!
