Now utilizing the frame-style of laying out the drawings, I found it easier to get the proportions correct. The form is stylized, but I think it's more of a lack of concentration than a stylistic choice. I really like how it turned out, but I wonder if I'm going to be teaching myself realistic proportions the wrong way, not that it's bad to stylize, but I figure I should learn how to do it right and then try a hand at exaggerating aspects of the human form.
My last thirty-minute drawing was not as successful to me. It seems much easier to grasp proportions on a smaller scale. I find myself doing a lot of reworking on the frame. I should definitely spend most of my time doing that before I fill in the skin and muscle (which I know basically nothing of right now) I'm going to try to work hard on drawing the frame during these 30 minute sessions. I think it's important to learn the proportions and apply them to all scales, long before filling in the gaps.
