Day 99:

after the revision from day 98, made first attempt at drawing from imagination on greyish newsprint.

Will continue later with revision of the leg muscles in my sketchbook, before attempting the assignment from imagination.

Day 100

Before I do the assignment from imagination I am revising the muscles and ow they affect the surface forms in my sketchbook.

I am using Gottfried Bammes anatomy book for this.

Conclusion:

I do not know if I did the challenge as I ought to have as there was a 2 week break due to film shoot. However I tried my best and now I cannot help but practice a little everyday. I will continue the Russian course and try to reach the end. After that I decided to divide half my time of drawing practice for anatomy, figure, perspective and accuracy drawing, and the other half  to do long drawings to put things into creative practice.

4/5 months ago I could only scribble. I feel I learnt a lot in the last months, but there’s sooo much. The difficult part is to juggle all the learning with daily life and work.

I found the forum in general very motivating and encouraging and that really helped. Also thank you very much Iliya for the great course, Joshua for the critiques and lovely 3d models, and everyone for the lovely critiques and motivation.

Hi Shazad,

Congratulations it’s nice to hear that the challenge helped building the habit of drawing regularly. I also agree that choosing a rough plan about how and what to practise for the challenge helped to set up a path to follow and focus on.

Keep at it and have fun 👍👋
