    Im really impressed with your work! You seemed to have really good control of your pen just by seeing the first assignment! One thing i would say is that for the guesswork perspective assignment (The one point one) Id make sure that you ghost some of your lines more? some look pretty wobbly. (I think I honestly made the same mistake to tbh) and also there are a few instences in which horizontal points on one side of the box are at an angle.

    Thats all I can think of at the moment! Great job!! keep up the good work!! :D its very clear that your are putting your all into this!!!

    Im proud of you for completing lesson 1!!! :D For you id say is to practice alot of the things learned in the first part of the chapter (ghosting and overall line confidence) It def takes some milelage. as for the rest of it, some exersizes such as the rough perspective, rotated boxes, plotted perspective might need to be redone and the lessons revisted.

    Looks good! I wish I could say more but I just finished lesson 1 myself! Id say for things that you could work on is... probably ellipses? they seem to be uneven and more blob like, but I know youll improve!! wishing you the best of luck!! :D

    Great job!! I would say that your ellipses need alittle bit improvement though, because they seem to be leaning to one side more than the other. But other than that I cant find any errors, Keep up the good work!

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.
