Thanks Joshua! I really appreciate your input.

DAY 4: Today’s session was a mess. First, I am forcing myself to use the overhand technique for the first time rather than the “tripod grip” (handwriting grip). My kids came into my office several times and I missed a couple of the 2 min poses. That said, I intend this to be raw and honest. So, here it is. Color pencil on bristol paper. Timed poses.

Good job Josseline! I’m right with you on the timed figures. These feel super hard for me too. Yours look representative. I see the gesture right away.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! You are making this feel much less awkward. Today I tried to work on bristol paper and charcoal pencil using the overhand technique Vilppu uses. That lasted <1min before I picked up the pencil using the standard handwriting grip. Any guidance on how critical this is?  Either way, I have no experience in traditional media either, so there wasn’t much benefit to my feeling of control.

@Josseline – thanks for the suggestion! Ironically, watching Vilppu’s timed drawings was the next video in the series I’m working through. It’s impressive what he can get done in just 10 seconds. I can only seem to draw a stick figure in that time. 😀  I find that I want to copy and draw shapes more than stick to the gesture lines. I’m not sure why that’s so hard to do. More practice… Thanks again!

OMG – This is a difficult task to be honest about. It is hard to post these images straight, unfiltered, un-updated out of Procreate following 25 min of figure drawing. However, that’s what I plan to do. I can honestly say, I’m not sure what should be possible in 60 seconds. Right now producing anything intelligible in that amount of time seems impossible.

But alas, here it is – Day 2’s timed figures.

Looks very good. I look forward to getting into painting later this year. Thanks for sharing!

Looks great! I too am attempting to use Procreate rather than paper for my daily challenge. I think it will take a few days to find the right brush and workflow.

Well done!

While this is a bit terrifying to me, I’m going to jump in. I’m very new to drawing (art in general), but something in my middle age, I want to get better at. I just start Glen Vilppu’s Renaissance Figure Drawing course. I will use the Daily Drawing figures to draw figures for at least 20 minutes a day timed at 1, 2 and 5 min poses.

Goal: Draw figures 20 min per day digitally using Procreate on the iPad.
