Hello,

I'm back with a new bunch of figures I drew with a marker:

It was not easy but I liked this exercise. Thanks Snailienz for this suggestion. It really helps finding the good lines.

Feedback will be much appreciated :)

Question

Have you any other suggestion about what I should focus on to improve faster? An idea I have is to focus on a specific body part each week, following Prokopenko lessons.

Thanks!

Clear to me!

Hello everyone,

For the 2 past sessions, I've been using Snailienz advices:

- using a felt tip marker

- avoiding stick figures

Here's the work:

Note: I have spent 10min per figure but not 10 min per drawing.

Questions:

I understand the benefits of this method and I'll continue to use it the whole week, still, I have some questions:

- Does avoiding stick figures mean avoiding other helpers as the body line, circles for the pelvis or the head?

- Is there a part of the body you suggest to draw at first?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks Swen for having taken the time to analyze my work.

Sure your feedback helps, plus, it gives me the will to understand FORCE method a little more. I've seen your daily pratice and it helps me understanding some fundamental notions.

For my next sessions, I think I have to stick less to what I see, and draw more what I feel.

Hello everyone,

After a streak of 21 days of practice, I offered me a rest of few days. I want to beat this streak.

Please have a look of my last practices.

Here's a batch of 10min:

Hello Snailienz,

Awesome advices spotted! :) Alright, I'll try your method and upload my work very soon.

Thanks, this is highly encouraging,

Oasis

Hello Kittykatc,

I'm working on longer poses and I really feel that's what I needed. Prokopenko videos are great! I already was watching his work.

Thanks,

Oasis

Hello,

Here's a new batch of 10 min figures:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xvwOJHGU-43z3cv0CSZleqe3DkYaQreo/view?usp=sharing

I really enjoy working on longer poses. Doing the shading is a very satisfying for me.
A friend of mine has said that my lines are more controlled on longer poses. I feel it's more impressive to draw them. I care less about proportions on 30s/1min poses, but more about gesture.

Question: how do you insert pictures rather than links in the post? I tried the insert/edit but it doesn't show the pictures whithin the post.

Regards,

Oasis

Hello,

Thanks Jbtyst for your feedback :) I think I'll stick to 10-25min, the time to better understand anatomy.

Here's yesterday's Class Mode batch:

Thanks everyone for giving me your feedback on it,

Hello,

I started learning how to draw 1 year ago, with online lessons and podcasts. Working at least 1 hour on a daily basis, I really want to improve my drawing skills. I've been working on the gestures the past 2 weeks.

This is the first time I'll be sharing my sketches, and I already thank you for the critics because I'm sure they'll be salutary.

Here's a batch of 30s figures: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SIXWUQe_zGR7_445CVn31fn9lYlIyLeA?usp=sharing

And one of 2min figures: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gLrQltSszLcBsDUXNXSVjxqAj1bHHrSE?usp=sharing

An artist who I know suggests me to work on longer poses cause I've got difficulties with anatomy. Can 10min poses can help me better than doing the Class Mode?

Thanks,

Oasis
