@lucy_gow Great job! It definitely shows that you are getting more confident. This latest batch is looking more expressive and natural.

@TessaW Thank you.

Assignment 3: wait and weighting (half). This is an interesting assignment, but it's hard to do all at once. I'm kind of halfway through it. I'll keep observing when I see people waiting and come back to finish it. So far all I've noticed is that people try to take the weight off their feet if they have to stand waiting for ages. I've maybe gone backwards a bit because there's always so much to think about.

Just keeping on with the course.
I'm up to the hands and feet now. 
I work as a substitute teacher, and also drew some hands of students while they were doing a math test this week.

Lots of heads.

Finished (sort of). This is my attempt for the last assignment on interactions. I struggled a bit and didn't do that great a job. Also, I tried out lots of Procreate pens trying to find one that was good for expressive sketching. I found Inka was pretty good.
I hope you don't mind me sharing all my assignments here. It helps me make sure I actually do them. Thank you! I'll keep sketching.ETA: actually, I just saw there's one more assignment.

@lucy_gow Very nice work! I can see your progress in these from some of the beginning sketches to the more recent ones, which is awesome!

@lucy_gow Thanks for posting and sharing all your work, I am struggling to get through this course, so your work has been an encouragement. I get the ideas but find it hard to implement them in my work. Such a useful course with loads of helpful practice like the first drawing course before it.

@Kristen-Lango Thank you! It really is a very good course with so much in it.
-
@PenAndrew I'm glad if it helps. This course has been a lot for me, but it's really helpful and thorough.
After I started this, I found another thread from a couple of years ago: https://forum.svslearn.com/topic/9864/gesture-drawing-class-work-anyone-want-to-post-their-work-with-me
Their drawings are amazing and they show how they did a lot of the exercises. -
@lucy_gow Thanks for sharing this Lucy. I like your drawings very much.
-
@lucy_gow These are fun, and I see progress in them, as they get more and more expressive. I especially like the ones where you drew the shape underneath in green and some of the facial expression ones. Also, I recognized some of these poses immediately! (One really gets to feel like they know that couple after a while
) -
@lucy_gow Nice! These are looking great! I would’ve never thought that hands by themselves would be a gesture. It makes sense though.I am doing the figure drawing course right now but this is next on my list. And then I think I need to learn how to color digitally. Too many things to fit in!!
