Looking good so far

Try always using all the canvas while drawing your gestures

Cheers

Countdowns also make me nervous, but the idea is to "hurry so you focus on the essentials", personally I limit myself lately to 5 min gestures, as it still gives that feeling of "focus on the essentials" while still being a generous amount of time to take things "calmly".

Try different amounts of times and see which work for you.

I don't remember if this site was suggested during the course or how I came to find it, but it's useful for gesture practice https://quickposes.com/en/gestures/timed

I certainly will in the future. I didn't do the full 30 minutes so I didn't end up with enough to fill it.

I am using the folder thing that Marc used in his video. I like it pretty well. Here's another nice resource for poses: https://www.posespace.com/posetool/default.aspx

Oy that's a nice one! I'm always looking for poses references. Thanks!

Oh, I don’t mean filling your canvas with gestures, I mean using your entire screen as a canvas, going as big as possible every time you draw these. Also helps to prop up your tablet. Everything that you can do to try working big broad strokes with your shoulder

Some more dailies and the proportions practice #3 was all from memory.

There's a lot wrong with this but overall I think I captured the pose. I need to get to work on anatomy when I get to the later terms. I also think I picked a hard one to start with XD

Looking good actually, keep at it, do a lot of em, just don't burn out!

Glute angle is a bit off (lordotic).

cheers

AlieInBeanland 2023-09-29 05:05:23 UTC #30

Ah, yes, you're right it is can't believe I didn't notice.

AlieInBeanland 2023-09-29 15:54:42 UTC #31

One and two point practice.

daceronine 2023-09-29 18:30:34 UTC #32

Nice work! Not sure if you used them here, but CSP has some very useful point rulers. Especially when you start getting into 3 points.

AlieInBeanland 2023-09-29 22:27:06 UTC #33

Thank you. I'm familiar with the CSP rulers but I didn't use them here. I just did it with the straight line tool like Mark does.

Instead of doing "Inktober" I've decided to do 'chibi-tober' where I draw chibi's everyday. Here's the first two. (still need to color my mascot gorl but probably not for a while XD)

AlieInBeanland 2023-10-04 20:31:52 UTC #35

I have the flu and had to run errands like paying rent and all so I didn't have time to color this for now if I plan to draw one everyday. @_@ There's many things wrong with it, I know, but at least I'm trying more complicated poses than I used to. Though, color and shading will really help this one come to life the way I imagine it.

daceronine 2023-10-04 22:39:06 UTC #36

Oy, hope you get better! drawing is looking nice! Not sure if you are using some references, but looking at some hands references and trying to emulate them has helped me a lot for some sword grab poses. Hands in general are very complicated.

Someone's being naughty XD

AlieInBeanland 2023-10-05 03:01:02 UTC #39

Yup, she always is XD
