    Thank you so much for the critique. I am noticing that I am struggling with texture a lot so I do appreciate the extra advice for the tire textures. I will keep this in mind especially for the texture advice

    late reply sorry but thank you so much, especally the fur texture, it really opened my eyes for not only how to do fur, but also all of the other texture as well. Thank you

    It does look like you were following the directions to the best of your ability. Your lines look pretty decent and sharp. Your ellipses do like pretty confident and they will tighten in your warm ups. The boxes are pretty solid with only a few minor issues. One is that some lines in with the plotted perspective are not straight vertical and in the organic perspective some boxes feel warped and kinda break the rules of perspective Though don’t worry these are minor and I think all of this will improve in your warm ups and the 250 box challenge.

    Good luck on the 250 box challenge.

    Next Steps:

    Move on the 250 box challenge and do warm ups.

Michael Hampton's Gesture Course

Michael Hampton's Gesture Course

Michael Hampton is one of my favourite figure drawing teachers, specifically because of how he approaches things from a basis of structure, which as you have probably noted from Drawabox, is a big priority for me. Gesture however is the opposite of structure however - they both exist at opposite ends of a spectrum, where structure promotes solidity and structure (and can on its own result in stiffness and rigidity), gesture focuses on motion and fluidity, which can result in things that are ephemeral, not quite feeling solid and stable.

With structure and spatial reasoning in his very bones, he still provides an excellent exploration of gesture, but in a visual language in something that we here appreciate greatly, and that's not something you can find everywhere.
