Hello again! I've been following the Proko figure fundamentals course, and this is my updated attempt at gesture drawing tonight. Please let me know what you think. It hasn't come easily for me, but I've been practicing daily.

Thank you Polyvios, I will keep working at it with Proko lessons to supplement.

Thank you very much! Noting all of this to look up and work on :)

Thank you for the detailed advice, Aunt Herbert! I'll work on these topics. I really didn't understand the fundamentals in the tutorial yet, I guess. But I'll look at that other course you mentioned before coming back to this for exercises.

I did get started with Draw a Box lessons after reading some comments here, so thank you for reinforcing that that was the right decision.

I think a helpful feature would be tutorial modes for non-figure study drawings that describe how to do a quick gesture drawing for expressions, hands/feet, environments, etc. I have been working on these areas and am not sure where to start, so I think a quick even 1 minute explanation would be very helpful. Thank you!

Hello! I'm a beginner artist and am wondering where to begin on gesture drawings for the classes that aren't figure studies. Such as expressions, hands, and environments. Which are the important areas to capture for a quick gesture drawing? There's no tutorial to cover this areas, to my knowledge.

Thank you,

Euphony

Hello! I have picked up drawing again after about 10 years and started drawing digitally for the first time. I was only ever a beginner before and never seriously worked to improve or studied anatomy. Trying to actively work on improvements with daily practice. I just started two days ago on this website and have been doing one or two 30 min classes a day. I know it's pretty shoddy to start with, but any helpful critique would be appreciated.

Specifically looking at following areas to start:

- understanding of line of action, placement of head/ribcage/pelvis, joints, body dynamics, anatomy

- proportions

- pencil control (a big one! I'm still very shaky with my stylus, an Apple Pencil 1st gen)

- perspective

- general tips or areas for improvement

First drawing is 5 min and second drawing is 10 min.
