Wow guys, really helpful! Kikindaface, that paintover is exactly what I had hoped to do in terms of values, but couldn't pull off. I'll give a better response in your sketchbooks, since you'll see it there!
I tried drawing some gestures a few weeks ago, and they looked like the walking dead. So I'm trying to reclaim good gesture drawing now.
There's so much, I don't want to get scattered with each new shiny thing, so here's the current plan of attack for art time, on a weekly basis:
Priority one: Finish the weekly "cube to cathedral" assignment. Once this is done, go to priority two.
Priority two: Watch one Proko figure drawing class and do the exercises for that video, progressing in order.
Priority three: Watch one Proko anatomy video and do those exercises.
Once those are done for the week, it's free choice! Painting, portraits, idea sketches, museum visit, or another youtube video, or whatever until the next week starts.
When the "cube to cathedral" class is up, Proko figure drawing moves to priority one. Once that is finished, the anatomy videos more to priority one (except maybe do 2-3 a week, since there's a bunch).
I'm currently on the proko structure video. Here's a page of animals drawn as spheres/cylinders/cubes.
Some mini gestures of Tess Kielhamer (martial artist on youtube).
