I decided to summarize my progress and thoughts before moving to the second term.
1. Pen control
My pen control has improved. All lines smoother and ellipses rounder.
2. Action lines
I don't have much to say about this exercise. I think it is quite straightforward and I don't see big difference here except lines.
3. Proportions
Now I know male and female proportions and can draw them from head. Of course there are space for improvement like anatomy.
4. Gesture drawing
30 sec
60 sec
The most interesting exercise. At first it caused only anger and frustration. I was constantly running out of time to draw correctly and I couldn't understand how it could be relaxing or inspiring. But now this is my favorite exercise and I can easily not notice how I spent more time on it than I intended.
5. Full figure
The hardest one. Despite the fact that I see improvements, this exercise still takes a lot of time and efforts. It easily can take 3 hours to complete and because of that I cant do it every day. Also it is hard for me to use pen measurement. Instead I usually rely on relationships between body parts and negative spaces.
I think I am ready to start second term and continue my studies.
