For me the jump from the "robo bean" to the "mannquinization" is a big one. It would have helped to have additional lessons in between to practice the shapes for the different body parts. It would also have helped if Stan would explain what he is doing during the session. I only started with this chapter. Maybe it works out in the end.

I feel like there's a bit of a leap between how he presents mannequization in the lesson (putting together a bunch of simple forms like boxes, cylinders) to the way that he actually does them in these examples, which seems to me like just drawing out a very slightly simplified organic 3d form with extra wrapping lines. I guess it just requires existing strong understanding of prior concepts like gesture and landmarks.
But yeah I'm totally with you- I have basically no clue how to do any of this beyond the torso and the skull haha. I'll probably just do a ton of gesture practice and hope that helps, or maybe look at the anatomy course.

This section sure is tough compared to the previous ones! (Except the landmark section, I had no idea what was going on there ha), but I guess that means it's where the real improvement can take place. Here's some of my attempts, some of these are from the photos he used in the video, some are based off other reference. It's so hard comparing mine to his because his line quality is so amazing, ha. Mine are certainly a lot more messy than I'd like.
The hardest part for me definitely feels like putting down the first shapes. Would it be wrong to just start with a normal bean and then turn it into boxes? Starting with the boxes from the beginning feels really hard.
Any other feedback would be super appreciated. I'll probably spend a long while on this, cuz it seems like this is a really essential skill to practice.
