Hello, thanks for visiting my sketchbook
Yeah, I hope those will help me improve, because I'm really struggling when drawing a character from imagination. I would stick with them for quite some time and see if it would get better :).
Yesterday for me was one of these days that anything you do related to art - you fail. I just couldn't draw accurate, so I've decided that after portrait which I did using photo, I will draw one character sketch from imagination and I'll make a break for the rest of the day. I've had to think about what I want this character to be, so I thought hmm... maybe a man from the jungle with wooden staff or something. I didn't think too much and started drawing and in result I got static pose. I forgot to think about how do I want to pose him, that's not good. So I've decided that today I'll draw some of the sketches more loose and exaggerate the lines (as Proko said in one of his YT videos about gestures, that if you exaggerate the lines in gesture there is a reason behind it - to not let the final sketch turn into static pose), also some of them I keep as I sketch usually and some of the rest I'll mix those two techniques - more precise with a little bit of loose accents here and there.

As for weekend I've decided to take a break from gestures, and just chill out reading Michael Hampton's book. I had an idea to better preserve knowledge from the book with studying sketches by Mr. Hampton, so I did couple of them :).
Probably tomorrow I'm going to do more, and then from Monday back to gestures
Thanks man. I think I could do more of those, but sometimes I don't have enough free time
Anyway, I need to keep drawing and don't even think about getting lazy
Today again I did sketches after Mr. Hampton, but nothing too fancy this time, just a quick ones with a lot of errors haha Sometimes I'm getting blind on proportions, need to fix that asap
Thank you
Thanks
I was pretty busy in the last few days, so I didn't posted as well I didn't draw... meh.
Anyways, I found a little bit of time today so I did few sketches, just five pieces, but I guess it's better than nothing
11 days later
I'm here again with new sketches of today.
Still I'm having trouble with finding enough free time to draw, but well I hope so it would change in a few days.
Anyway, to not get super rusty I found a little bit of time and I did 10 sketches.
28 days later

Hello after a while. I wasn't posting due to commissions and lack of time related to start of new semester on my university, but I'm back with few pieces.
