Hi everyone, I'm Santiago, new student of this course and i'm very excited to join this process of growth and new experiences. I'm a bit messy with forums but i'll do my best to keep track of my progress alongside this journey.

TERM 1 - Pen control (week 1)

Honestly i don't practice this type of exercises a lot and now i realize that my pulse can improve a lot . It was fun tho and hope to get better along the week doing it

TERM 1 - Daily nude figure Drawing (week 2)

So it looks like the updates are going to be a little slower than i expected jaja. The first week was interesting, the Pen control exercise is helping me to be more confident in my lines. But now in "Nude Figure Drawing" i'm getting a better understanding of the proportions and gesture in different poses, and i love it

Yo good work so far. I'm not seeing the line of action on gestures though, basically the "spine" that indicates the flow of the body movement. Hard to tell how some of these go without it. Like this one:

After looking at it for a bit, I can see it's the buy curling up, but if you add the line of action, it will be more evident what the gesture is.

You're right, i was thinking that it was "too obvious" for me and continued like that, but u made a point in u'r comment. I'll be adding them in the upcoming exercises, thanks a lot!

TERM 1 - Cylinders (week 2)

So my idea was to fulfill the entire canvas with various cylinders but at some point i ran out of ideas so i started to draw variations and some cuts alongside the figures. I think i achieved some interesting views

awe yea these look great!

TERM 1 - Top 10 Drawing exercises (week 3 )

Another log in this journey, this time practicing this funny exercises that Marc show us in his video. I think it's almost hipnotic to focus in every stroke and shape u get. I'll be uploading the 10th exercise "Gesture Drawing" by the end of the week, by far the mos enjoyable of all, i think.

Hey I really like these shape studies!

[santiagosocamia]

TERM 1 (week 4)
So this week was a little bit harder, at least that's how i felt it, maybe some stretch in my hand and fingers will help further on hahaha. I want to share my 1min gesture drawings of this week and my male/female proportions. Every comment is more than welcome

[mitsuki-youko]

noiiice thats a lotta gestures! lookin great!

Keep up the good work!

[daceronine]

Overall great work and great gesture work!

What I couldn't help notice was the lenght of the hands. They seem to be longer, filling up the square, but their proportions are intended to be a bit smaller than that.

Otherwise it looks good!
