Hi Turq, proportions are looking decent. Keep at it. Maybe pay a bit more attention to the confidence of your lines and mark making in general. I love me some sketchy art, but for each drawing maybe add in a few more lines that really look bold and intentional (like you unapologetically meant to put them there). And last but not least, have fun with it!

Just keep at it. With more mileage your confidence will improve; don't worry much about the quality in the beginning. Draw lots of things. Observe and draw from real life as much as possible; fill sketchbooks with doodles and drawings of objects and people around your house and community, not just from pictures. That helped me a lot in the beginning. All the best.

Thanks a lot, I really needed to hear that. I haven't been doing a lot of 50% drawings lately and I don't know how to force myself to do it. I know it will be helpful in the long run but I just can't manage to sit and let my mind leak onto the page. I'm bombarded with questions in the process, some being: Why can't I think of anything? Why is it so bad? Why is it not working? Why don't I know how to draw this? Any bad drawings I make make me so frustrated I rip it out, throw it away, and cry for like an hour. I don't know how to get out of this mindset, but I know I need to get out of it soon.

Page 3 is my favorite. It looks like a fun way to explore of proportions.

thanks a lot!

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff is a ubiquitous name in art instruction - not just through his work on the Draftsmen podcast and his other collaborations with Proko, but in his own right. He's been teaching anatomy, gesture, and perspective for decades, and a number of my own friends have taken his classes at the Laguna College of Art and Design (back around 2010), and had only good things to say about him. Not just as an instructor, but as a wonderful person as well.

Many of you will be familiar with his extremely cheap 1994 Perspective Drawing lectures, but here he kicks it up to a whole new level.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
