I would say so, yeah. Everyone is different. Honestly can’t stand videos hah. I’ve taken some in college, some studio classes and a few workshops.

I think these are the last pages I got to show for this sketchbook. Rubens and a self-portrait. I’m currently doing arm/hands off of Luca Giordano. It’s a big book so taking my time with it. Also started a new sketchbook along with it. Cheers!

I mainly studied from books. If you’re on NMA, Vilppu, Huston, and Legaspi should be good starts. They have a bunch of vids on YouTube as well. Supplement this figure drawing with some object sketching as warm-ups. Few minutes a day should let that structure knowledge seep in.

I like the essence of the drawing above. Watch out for sharp points like on that arm. The wrist is usually a box into a egg in the forearm. Keep in mind your forms on the torso. The abs (shadow shape) should track along the sphere-egg you got going there.

I studied with Vilppu a year ago about this same time (well we finished late February). And he really did harp on us to take things slow and feel it out. He called out a bunch of us for focusing too much on contour right away. Comes with practice the longer you do it. Keep it up.

Rubens is a good Ol’ Master to study hands from. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…

[Marcolino Estuardo]

Nice grind here. Spend time on the construction of forms (boxes, tubes, spheres) before you commit to your contours/overlaps. Really nail down that initial gesture too!

I’m finishing my own hand study from Steve’s book and it is a doozy! So much! So damn hard too! Go go!

Welcome. Enjoy the next 100 days. I like your broad value statements for these last ones. Nice line-making for the contours. Keep an eye out on your gesture/thrusts+structure. 😉

[Marcolino Estuardo]

Cool. Awesome that you’re continuing. I like the sensitivity on the pink skin blonde painting. Keep going.

More hands and a self-portrait. Laters

@Elya Zagel What up, thanks. I think since 2015? so about 6 years now. I was a prisoner and they scooped out my eyes.

Hi! Busy week, forgot to post! New month, I’ll post daily for this week. More hands/arms. Second page is from Rubens.

More studies and a portrait with notes on painting. >_<

[Marcolino Estuardo]

Oops forgot to post yesterday. Old Masters studies from Hale.

Portrait from about a month ago.

I think a few of these are from Raphael himself.
