thank you, I do plan to keep doing the cylinder and skeleton combine for at least 1-2 weeks to get a more clear hang of it. I will give your tip on gesture drawing some try on my next gesture practice session ^^

Welcome to the forums! Already seeing some good detail in your 60s gestures (not that detail is the point of gesture drawing, but Marc did say in the video the farther you are along, the more you'll be able to draw in the time limit)

Keep up the good work!

Was not an easy week for me, but I tried to keep up the daily practice everyday. This is the progress after 1 week. I'm not sure if I improved in gesture drawing because it makes sense for me but maybe not for everyone else xD.

Proportion (from memory)

Measurement

Cylinder from references (I tried to not put it on top to practice a bit on measurement as well, I might try do it from memory next time).

Halfway last week (December 16th)

30s Gestures

60s Gestures

Latest
30s gestures

60s gestures

I will be moving on to Perspective next while keeping up the daily practice.

Great job! Proportions diagram looks good (lower legs probably too chunky and symmetrical)
Gestures are really good
Here are my observations . I think it's equally important to note the things we get right as much as the things we get wrong. By noting what works in our art we can reiterate on it and keep using it

cheers

I spent the last week experimenting with a few tweak on gesture drawing. I decide to draw with the Bean shape in mind for the body part, especially for the 1 minute gesture section, while only imagine it during the 30s section. I also did the majority of the Perspective assignment.

Cylinder + skeleton

Body Proportion (memory)

30s gestures

1 minute gestures

Measurement (I tend to draw a bit too chunky on my works too. might need to work a bit more on this)

Cube and shaving.

Basic 1 point perspective with cubes

1 point perspective room (its my room but I tweak the features in an attempt to create fantasy vibe)
