These are my Pelvises. I am struggling with line cleanliness and clarity in the drawings. Also, my sacrum's are very long and thin compared to the models. how wide exactly should I make them?

Hello, these are my Spines! Any Critiques will be much appreciated. My main struggle lately is keeping my drawings clean and accurate. Also, it is a bit hard for me to establish exactly where the bottom of the ribcage is.

Here are some animals, these were harder than expected. I'm not sure if its important but I find it pretty difficult to make these look dynamic using this technique. Hardest part for me was probably the shell of the snapping turtle I think the flattened sphere shapes was best but it was hard to think of a primary shape that closely resembled it. Any critiques will be appreciated Thanks!

I've been familiar with gesture before but I've decided to finally share my drawings and improve my gesture drawings once and for all! For these drawings, I've mainly tried to capture the expression of the pose. Please feel free to critique! :::DDD

Hey nice work! These are some well drawn and structured figure drawings. Not sure if you are going for a gesture drawing or not. These are pretty detailed to be considered gesture drawings. To be honest, it doesn't seem like you watched the video or if you know what exactly a gesture drawing is. You should probably give the video another watch if you haven't seen it already and pay extra close attention. I've seen this video many times myself and I'm still struggling. I would advise you to work on your line quality. Draw from your shoulder and use long confident lines instead of a sequence of small lines. It will take some getting used to but it will make your art look even better! (The image I put should help explain what I'm talking about) Although these aren't really gesture drawings in my opinion, I still think they are still really great! Good luck :)

here is my 4rth set! so far my hardest one were the 4rth and 5th pose. On my last set of gestures I was told to focus on adding weight to the gestures and that was probably my main focus here. It was pretty difficult and I was struggling to figure out how exactly to add weight so let me know how I did. Thanks :)

Just posting up my first day of bean work, it's actually pretty rough for me. I can't quite translate the torso into a nice bean like Stan does in these videos but I think I'll be able to nail it in a week or so. I've actually had to take up to a minute to even get a general idea but the last three were all 30 seconds so I think I'm getting just a bit faster. I appreciate and help for y'all and hope it's okay that I'm taking things a bit slow.

These look pretty good! I like the simple thick lines you used and how dynamic they feel. I think if you just keep practicing what you know to improve your speed you'll be on the right track. If I had any critiques it would be 2 things: 1 - Exaggerate the pose more. On #2 and #10 it may look like the figure is standing perfectly straight but I think a big point of this exercise is to find the position of the body and push them. Remember, you aren't making an exact copy of the body. It is more of a more extreme representation of the torso's position. 2 - Stop separating the two masses like on #6 and #9. generally, the two masses will just be twisting and bending but never really stretching apart. I think removing this habit should help with the overthinking and help you get some quicker beans. Hope this helps :)

Here are my second set of gesture poses. I was told to use less contour, less lines, and the addition of more straight lines for the more stiff poses. please let me know what any of you think. Any sort or critique is very appreciated. Thanks!

Here are my gesture drawings from this video. I never really received any critiques before so I thought that I should start giving it a go. I've been doing gesture drawings for a while now but I still struggle quite a bit especially when it comes to the less gestural poses like #3 and #5. Any critiques or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Nice figures! I think you have simplified them nicely. I would suggest trying to make more confident and bold lines in your figures. find any subtleties in your reference and push them to the limit. For example, the figure on the right side of the first page has an almost perfectly vertical gesture. Try to find the subtle curves of the body use a more expressive and exaggerated line to show it. Maybe an "s" or "c" curve showing what way the body is shaped or bent. Don't be too afraid to exaggerate! Hope this has helped.
