Asked for help
Hello! This is my first time posting. I’ve worked in gesture a lot before but I’ve decided to crack down and work through this course spending 7 days on each concept, even the ones I’m familiar with.
I used #25 Jin: Friday Evening Figure Drawing on YouTube for these poses. That’s my go-to for gesture practice.
I struggle a lot with exaggeration and getting away from what’s “Correct” and going to what feel good. I understand the concepts of gesture but I feel my execution is still lacking. Any critiques you can offer is appreciated!

Looks good to me. Maybe in number 7 the back line (booty and right leg) could be more fluid.

Thank you Sean! Thanks Stan!
After all that you've drawn from life and references, could you achieve a drawing with similar result as this one out of imagination?

What is you position about likeness in the portraits, should it be as acurate as possible or do you allow yourself to make it look better than the reference, like correcting skin flaws or improving proportions, etc.?
Are you guys going to make any improvements on existing courses? For example, in the figure drawing course some lessons could use specific examples. For instance the balance lesson doesn't have any example, it really could use a list of specific poses done by Stan. The lessons with a bunch of examples are the ones where you learn the most.
