Hi Polyvios Animations

you are right, I did use a lot of excessive line. Because I'm afraid my line will become weird if my hand slow down or adding unnecessary details. I think I will look into anatomy then try the long session sketching (30 minute, never done that before haha).

Also, thanks for your kind words and the link you share is really cool. Defintely gonna try it out sometimes.

Hi Aunt Herbert

Thanks for sharing the right mindset for learning drawing, this really helps.

I will look more into the landmark of the body and simplified line for hand & feet as well. Thank you for pointing out！

Hi Denkobu

Thanks for you suggestion！

I will definetly work on arms and legs and yes my anatomy sucks :(
My propotion always went off but the weird thing is it tend to GET WORSE when it comes to longer time sketching（like 5 mins or 10 mins）

Hi guys,

I started practicing Gesture drawing 2 Month ago, a totally beginner. After few Drawabox Lesson and watching Proko's Gesture Drawing Vedio I had some progress. (I know they're still wonky and weird but accetable as I only practcing for 2 Month) .

But Recently I feel like stuck at same place and didn't know how to set my practicing goal. There are a lot of room to improve here and there but I don't know what and how.

So that's why I'm here seeking for some advice. Any thought will be appreciated!

p.s. I also put up my FIRST gesture drawing pratice (around May) Just to let you know How NEW I am with drawing haha.

OK I just can't found this free proko figure courses that literally everyone been talking about. I had looked it up but only seen the premiere one. Am I searching with the wrong word or can somebody kindly attach the link plz.

I'll come back and let you know lol

Hi Aunt Herbert,

Your respond definitly clear up my confusion. It's nice to hear from someone who went through those courses. Thank you so much for sharing.

Hi, Thanks for your advice！

May I ask how many lessons have you tried? (Lesson0~Lesson7）

I just finished lesson0 and it seems like practice here will be more freely and fun, while drawabox lessons more likely like you said, repetitive and not very encouraging.

However in drawabox lessons , they mentioned " 50% rules" which more or less answer my question at the first place. I guess I will split my time 50／50 here and there.

Thank you :)

I started a topic at Pratice and advise forum called "Anyone tried Drawabox.com lessons？ How do you allocate practice time? "

It can be seen on the list of Pratice and advise forum, But I couldn't enter it.

Everytime I click the link it will show "Page not found". I dunno if I successfully start it or not. plz help :(

Hi everyone,

I'm a Self-studied beginner, and recently found Drawabox.com practice lessons really helpful ( great resources, thanks to ppl here who recommended it.）

But I'm a little bit confused where should I start? To dive in the lessons from Drawabox.com or spend more time on sketches practice here?

I mean Drawabox.com lessons seems to be really solid, should I finish the practice there before I start the figure sketches?

Or did I just think too much.....


Any advice will be appriciated.
