Lesson Incomplete

2:24 AM, Thursday June 2nd 2022

Heyo ever since ive started taking Drawabox seriously ive realized that i messed up with lesson 1 (at the time i didnt do the lessons in fineliners and also skipped Lesson 0) at the current moment im currently on lesson 3 and while ive read over lesson 1 and done the exercises numerous times and submitted work for the 250 boxes and Lesson 2 im still alittle worried that there may be some valuable critiques that i may be missing forever because i didnt do Lesson 1 correctly

Do you still have the work you did for Lesson 1? I would submit that for critique so you can get the feedback you are missing.

possibly although i did them in pencil at the time due to not knowing about the fineliner rule however I do have some warmups I could send into the community critique with stuff the Rotated Boxes exercises being redone since i haven't done that in a while

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.
