Week 23 of Nicolaides Challenge

Week 23 has introduced variations into the gesture drawing exercise: straight-to-curve and subdividing the space inside of the shape of a frame. I find it fortunate that throughout the course, Kimon Nicolaides makes the student go through all the major drills, practicing each one in relative isolation, acquiring necessary skills in a relatively low-pressure environment.

It's tough practice, but it's some of the best art instruction I've had.
