Thank you! 🙂
Hi Marcolino,
Yes, I will do it. With the timed sessions, I realize I am struggling to attach the legs to the hips. I will practice to make it feel and connect better.

Thank you for the advise. I’m trying to focus on gesture over structure, but sometimes the feel is not being portrayed properly! I’ll have to work harder on it. I have Loomis book. I’ll start reading it once I finished the current book. I do not own Bridgman’s book, and the book is costly here. I’ll get it once I save up some money.
As for the lighting, if the duration is less: I am not able to darken up my drawings to take the picture. I’ll give my best to take the picture under better lighting.
I’ll start practicing warmup gestures from tomorrow. Would you recommend me to do timed sessions?
Day 16:
1 and 2 min session.
5 min session.

I was doing a timed challenge, so I was not able to darken the drawings. My proportions are off in almost all the images, this makes the figure very awkward.

What good things have I done in life to get reviews like this? Thank you so much!
My thought process usually goes like this:
- Gesture for head and then it’s structure.
- The neck and shoulder line.
- The ribs, I feel (try to) how the gesture flows and draw the long axis line. I then see if the body is leaning forward or backward and draw accordingly.
- The waist and hips, I regard this as the smallest structure (and gesture line, usually this is covered with the main torso gesture). I draw small eggs if required, usually I just draw the gesture and Structure of the hips and ignore the waists structure.
- I draw the legs from the hips as a tapered tube.
- I draw the hands at the last, because oftentimes I am stuck on where to exactly place the gesture and structure.
I warmed up with elipses and still-life objects (surprisingly it is better than a month ago when I first started drawing). Then I took some break, saw couple of course lesson videos and began my figure drawing.
For today’s session, I have focused on hands a bit more. Thank you so much for spending time to review my work. It means a lot man.
