Welcome back then!
And hes pretty delightful old, that is brad pit aged a bit right?
Great job with the pen control exercise! I couldn't trace the circles quite as neatly as you did 
. I struggled with the Adjustment exercises too especially the last one, but I found the key was to rest my eyes and look away for a bit before coming back since my eyes were so fatigued from the previous exercises already. Great job on Brad Pitt too, very refined work.
@peter-hartnett Thanks and yes, it's him 
@fuulin Thanks for the tip and the nice words, I'll do it next time that way ^^
Yup Nailed it!

I've been doing gesture drawing daily over the last 3 weeks, because I want to get better at them and I adore drawing which have a lot of gesture in them ( eg look at characters from studios like Disney and Pixar). I still have problems with the headsize. Here are some of my gesture drawings, not all, because I don't want to spam this thread lol :
30s:
1m:
I usually dont restrict my time to 30s even though the point is to capture the figure but thats steep(especially for beginners). In One session I've given myself at least 15 minutes then reduced to 5 minutes after each gesture and was able to understand alot more shading, anatomy, execution, etc. On top of all, proportions are your go two for gesture drawing.
@luke_james_kid I see what you mean, but the 30s gesture drawing is to actually capture only the gesture, with longer sessions you look for anatomy, shading etc., which is not the purpose of 30s (and 1m) gesture drawings as far as I know.
Whoa so many gestures! These are looking really good, everything has a lot of movement and you can get a sense of each pose. The only criticism that I can give is reduce the number of lines/number of times you pick up your pencil, if you aren't doing that already. Very nice!
@BemezmorizeD Thanks! Yeah, I noticed that, too. I'll be trying to use fewer lines for my gestures and do lines with one stroke👍
@Stryver Thank you so much!

Doing the line assignment is half the battle. I have been doing the full figure and trying to be mindful of quality line work is maddening sometimes lol.
