I am so enjoying this! Part 1 and Part 3 with Tim Gula couldn't have come at a better time: I am taking Proko's figure drawing online course, first week, on Lesson 1. Already just drawing along with Proko's video there has completely changed the quality of my lines in gestural sketches, literally within that first half hour that I did it. It is SOO important to show someone the hand movement in drawing, for a longish period of time - not just couple of minutes, and for the student to do it at the same time, in order to GET it. That's the difference between information and understanding. I think this is a fantastic half an hour draw-along lesson from Tim to learn from; the quality of this is so much superior compared to the ocean of other Youtube videos that usually end up waste of time for me personally. Big THANK YOU to both Stan and Tim for this!

Although it is sketching, Tim Gula almost has a zen-like quality to his approach, like he is in a state of meditation, kinda like he is going through a mantra. Would lie to know if he sells any of his drawings, especially these. Would like to buy if just for the relaxing almost calligraphic performance art that he performs and with the remnants of it left on the page. Like the embers of good wine.

turning scribbles into proportional shapes, now that's a godly level of skill, it's like drawing with electric sparks, and there isn't ANY commitment to the camera angle, so it's like re-creating the figure after seeing it and not like we do it (copy what we see) which are 2 different things, lol it's gonna take a hundred years to get to this level of legendary skill!

Curious what he is drawing with. I can never get sharp lines like that with a charcoal pencil, which give me a blurry line. And hard charcoal gives such a light line but still blurry. Even a carbon pencil I find it difficult to get the sharp lines. And graphite does not give you those lovely blacks which I love Is it a graphite pencil? Is it a carbon pencil?

Oh lordy I have learnt so much over the past month watching you and your friends. The rhythm lines has blown me away! Things I have struggled with for years have clicked within 5 mins of practice it's literally knocked me off my feet. Thank you so much and please don't stop. Love to all the artists out there. Xx

Bear in mind that if you're a beginner, you'll need to decide the size of your figure first on the paper. That is, mark where the top of the head will be, then mark where the feet will be. Gula is a professional, so he instinctively feels the correct length of the limbs without having to measure.

I had no idea that Reilly rhythms were great for gesture. It seems every other video uses it for very stiff wireframes that don-t have any life to them. Much thanks for opening my eyes to the possibilities Tim.

26: 18. The neck that is deeper and wider is missing, hair that wants to fall at the back is a beautiful line missing. Her right knee should be slightly lower not higher to show weight distribution.

I LOVE the hands. They always say in figure drawing the hands aren't that important, but Gula has made me realize that in his drawings, the body is less complex so it is okay to have complex hands.

he doesn't draw what he sees but rather draws things as he likes to perceive them. Hence why he is obsessed over trying to draw movement when movement is not there.
