Yep more or less what I expected, except perhaps for the organic intersections bit. Is it a general mistake or could you give me an example? Honestly I was far more worried about my forms.

Also is there improvement between texture analysis and disections?

Either way thanks for the critique!

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Thanks for the advise regarding rushing, and although I'm still having some trouble with curves I figured it's just a matter of practice.

Thanks, I've already started gesture drawing from reference and I'll soon pick up still life drawing.

And I'm trying to limit how much I use my pen to figure a line's angle, as I think it's something my eyes should be learning. Thanks for the feed back

I haven't looked into the channels yet but your advise helps a lot, thank you

Lol just my luck he deleted the videos overnight it seems.

At this point I am aware that this is a hard process, but what makes it harder is constantly second guessing "is this the right course", "do I need to learn something else first" , "am i doing this right".

Take my heads for example. I used the loomis method from proko and focused on one angle. Yet I feel like I could create a thousand similar heads and still be bad at it, so I switched to figure after a week or two. I'm worried I focus on all the wrong things and wasting time. How can I tell if I am or not.

I've actually watched both the proko figure drawing course and love life drawing . Sorry I wasn't really asking for lessons but a way to judge lessons, to make sure that I am improving. Like how drawabox has an explanation for each exercise.

Take lovelifedrawing for example: up to lesson 8 its about making a complicated stick figure and then lesson 9 :draw the rest of the picture. A hyperbole sure but there is still a huge gap in skill there. I think maybe its because I haven't practiced the other lessons enough but I don't see how those are preparing me for this. I have similar questions about proko.

Basically I worry that these courses assume I have a certain degree of skill so it's like I skip a step and I am now wasting my time.

Yes this helps, thank you. Having a "difficulty tier" of references is reassuring. I also realized on my own that drawing from imagination might be hard for a beginner. Although the article is informative it is also daunting. I'll come back to it later on.

And thank you for the advise on motivation. I'll keep it in mind next time I reach a low point.

Thank you for taking the time to answer.I think my problem was that I tried to draw from imagination and was disappointed when I couldn't recreate what was in my head. Because that's what I found most interesting, taking characters from my head and placing them on paper.

Honestly I missed or forgot the part that advised to draw from reference. Maybe I just decided that first I need to learn to draw confidently and learn construction and shading and then learn how to draw the human body and then etc etc.

I'll just grab some references and see what comes out.

Last thing: what do you mean by creative skills?

Thank you, this looks very interesting. Although it reminds me of the final drawabox lessons. Isn't this a bit advanced? I'll just look up tutorials and see what I can do.
