Another marker session today. Liking the gestures here better, i think. 10 min sketches

Thanks so much Paul!

Gouache and watercolor are such difficult mediums for me, maybe because of the same reason that I focus on the accuracy and rendering too much, oil is my friend. But you inspired me to pick them up again! Nice studies! I like the lighting on the guy’s face in your new page.

Paul, omg look at all these tips!!! I didn’t expect such a thorough reply (replies!!) I might say I love you but is it too soon? lol

Yes i’ve been doing the daily life drawing session but getting a little frustrated when I can’t decipher the gestures 😭

I’m taking notes religiously. Thanks so much Paul!

This thread is so inspiring! I would love to see a video on your sketchbook. Going to do some master studies after seeing yours.

Any tips on loosening up? I’m trying to focus on gestures here for my challenge.

Day 3: trying to loosen up and failing.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Cecilia I’m using the Daily Life Drawing session here on NMA, just giving myself 5 min more on the longer poses.

Thanks Joshua! Yes I’m working on loosening up but also kinda struggling 😅

Can’t wait to see the whole skeleton! Your challenge got me more excited to dive deep into anatomy 🙂

2nd day:

I’m super uncomfortable sketching/drawing with markers (as you can probably see) so I decided to use marker today. Ha.

Expectedly not happy with the results, but this medium does help me stop rendering and move on. 10 mins sketch.

Hi neighbor!

Thank you, I’m still trying to make sense of gestures in my work.

I love your 100-day-challenge! Technical stuff you got going on.

Very beautiful gestures Jenny! I’m struggling with gesture flow myself on this challenge.
