Hey, thanks @prinzmoana
Couldn't get much done within the week so far, but I tried to draw at least half an hour a day.
I practiced gesture drawing a lot and today I tried to draw Gimli from lord of the rings.
Monday gesture drawing
Tuesday
And todays work
And here are some whole body practices without measurement, just by eye,. Tried a thicker brush too, just out of curiosity.
Nice practice sets! Keep up the good work!
Allo.
Love that you tried to tackle advanced topics from other terms (shading for example). I'm particularly impressed with your Gimli drawing. Keep it up with your face study. They may look off but at least you know where to tackle and have enough confidence to do it (I'm still doing the nose lmao)
Gesture-wise, I think you only focus on the contour body which i can see as the gesture lines doesn't flow/connect with each other to give us a solid idea/understanding. When I meant flow, I mean trying to represent the body movement with as few lines as possible without worrying about the anatomy and shape.
A good start could be watching Proko on gesture drawing basic. Remember, you are not worrying about the shape/accuracy; you are worry about getting the essence/idea of the pose in gesture drawing.
Keep it up and hope you continue your impressive facial practice. 
Hey Gordon. Thanks a lot for your comment.
when I fail at gestures, I have to draw something else to not get disappointed, so I started to do faces and that seems a lot easier for me somehow. 
so yeah, will work on them as well.
For the gestures, I know I have to work on that. I tend to focus on the contours and try to copy what I see in the minimal amount of time I have ,1minute or 30seconds per picture, and I know that's not the right way. that lack of time is making me unconfident and I start to rush and things get worse.. I think I don't have this general understanding of the human body (yet) to get the right lines and flow.
So, yeah, will work on that. I know proko, have subscribed to his channel and I will check his videos out. Thanks for the tip.
When I first started I was the same way in terms of time, I was so new I couldn't get anything down in that time frame, Marc told me to increase my time and it helped a lot for gesture, then as you get more familiar you can go back down! Did you join the feedback group? 
@Lockenheim
unfortunately not, I did only purchase term 1 by now. At first i wasn't sure about this art school thing, so I thought ill give it a try with term 1 and if it feels right I will purchase the whole thing, though not the feedback version.
Ok, so more gesture drawing practice and more time for it until I get the basics right?
I did some more gestures after watching some videos from proko, gesture drawing basics.
I think, these ones are a bit better. Still lacking any elegance though, 
Yep yep I would def increase time then back down when you are more comfortable! Doing well keep it up!
Looks much better, in particular the line stroke. I can still detect still contour drawing but nevertheless great improvement. If need help of finding the flow, have a look at FORCE.
Ok, time for some perspective drawings.
I started simple with some basic blocky shapes.
And here's my first ever 2 point perspective drawing. Pretty simple, but it was a good exercise to learn this. Im pretty bad at perspective, lol.
Hey,
Today I drew some eyes from reference. Around 10 to 20 minutes per eye
I really like the textures you used. Especially the last one turned out amazing 🔥
Hey, thanks man! That means a lot. 
Today I tried to render a shiny steel ball. Im pretty happy with it. I tried a few more but none got even close to this. Reflections and realistic surfaces are really hard.
Apple anyone ?
