I printed out the sheet of the male/female body with all the proportions in head heights, sketched some out and memorized them all (male front) and did them back with no ref and it's all looking pretty good =0

I find that some systems mix the 8 and 7.5 head rule, throwing one off so to speak.

Was that from Loomis repetitions?

idk, I have a good number of threads subscribed to me email and it doesn't update me once there's an update in any of the threads. Its pretty delayed

Yeah that's why I initally didn't want to do email notifications, I might tho if the other option doesnt show any notifications on the forums :)

So you can do 100 gestures as a start, recommended by Hampton. Mix it with Loomis.

That's why I emphasised construction

09 Feb 11:01

darktiste

because you have a limited pm space in the email box

09 Feb 11:00

darktiste

but it will also go in the email section so make sure to empty it

09 Feb 11:00

darktiste

09 Feb 10:59

darktiste

i think that email notification will be like automatic so try it out

09 Feb 10:54

Mayenla

Ahh awesome thanks! You explained that fine :) Thanks man, I'll have to wait and see if there's an automatic way, otherwise I'll do email notifications I think!

09 Feb 10:47

darktiste

i don't know if there is any*

09 Feb 10:46

darktiste

i don't know any there is any automatic way to know if there is new notify but at least manually choose and see all the subscribed threads you have there

09 Feb 10:45

darktiste

09 Feb 10:43

darktiste

09 Feb 10:42

darktiste

09 Feb 10:36

Mayenla

Ooh awesome, so if I'm subscribed to a thread how does it notify me of updates (the non-email one)

09 Feb 10:29

darktiste

@Mayenla you got my reply on Forum Suggestion thread you made

09 Feb 10:10

Mayenla

--

Yeah exactly, I've got an art schedule set up, and I made sure to note to duplicate from imagination afterwards to try and commit it to memory

09 Feb 10:09

darktiste

--

that why gesture i think is really something that it important to pratice in each drawing season

09 Feb 10:08

darktiste

and think*

09 Feb 10:08

darktiste

the main problem with loomis is the fact that you can just copy is drawing a think you learn something but it not like you will really understand so you need to know that copying won't make you learn how to draw from imagination you need to understand the limit of the body
