added comment inProject - Simplify from Observation
Hello all! This was a fun project to try. I liked simplifying the pear into a basic shape with only straight lines. That definitely made doing the contour easier and little bit less intimidating. That being said I found the values to be a little bit trickier. Looking at my pear and the reference image, I can kind of see where I went wrong with it. The shape of the dark shadow line running across the bottom should probably be adjusted. The shape there looks a bit off to me. I think the bottom floor shadow needs to be moved to the right a little also. And finally the stem doesn't quite look right either. It looks a bit too flat to me. But all in all, I'm feeling pretty good about it. I think this will be a good project to come back to every so often to retry. Then I can see how much I improved!

I like the funky shadow lines. Feels very dynamic!
These are some bean drawings I did today. They're fun to draw and definitely helping me visualize the torso a bit better. I'm struggling a bit with foreshortening and twists. Lean and tilt I feel fine with, just need to practice a little more with them. Any feedback is welcome!
Hello everyone! Been working on gesture for the past couple of weeks. Below are some two minute poses I did today. Was hoping I could get some feedback. I'm starting to feel like I'm getting an idea about the flow of the body but at the same time I feel like I'm missing something. I'm not sure what. I'm hoping another pair of eyes could see the mistakes I'm making. What I have noticed is that I have a hard time exaggerating the body, and that I also struggle with arms/legs as well. Any advice and criticism is welcome!

Hi @Brenden Chianese I agree with @Gabi H I think these are really nice!
The limbs can be tricky. I think reading this critique I gave another student could help

I would also avoid searching for one line with multiple lines. To get out of the habit, let the first line you put down, be the one you use. It´s kinda frustrating since the first mark might be bad, but the point is to build a habit of cleanliness. Accuracy will come with practice.
I hope this helps :)
I think you did a great job! You can really feel the flow in each pose! The only thing I have to say is maybe worry less about the contours and try to simplify everything to its gesture (especially the legs, don’t pay too much attention to the contours of the quads and calves). But honestly you’ve done an amazing job here!
