Thank you for pointing out when you feel something you said might be misleading. Contextualizing it in the video is extremely helpful. Hopefully more people do this in the future.

Hii everyone! I've tried sth new. For me at least :D 30s poses - from photo ref. :( - w/o using any construction lines/ LoA. So the main question will be: Is this gestural? At all? in your opinion. Pleeease critique this, thanks in advance, oke bye.
1yr
Nice work! You are capturing the poses pretty nicely. I would suggest having smoother arcs that follow through the gesture down or across the body depending on the pose. Also you can focus less on capturing each limb shape and more on the flow through the shapes. Not sure if that is too vague but thats all I got :D

Hands imagined (test) and studied. Feedback is welcome. :) the most problems I have is with female hands on which I focused here. Can’t get them slender enough. Even studying from my own hands (see the complete blue sheet) which are really thin they somehow end up pretty bubbly I think. Is there a trick to get female hand proportions more accurate easier?
1yr
Nice work! The main thing I see is your pinkys tend to be too big/long as compared to the other fingers. For better female hands I would look up artists you like and copy from them to learn how it can be done smoother.

Hi there. About two years ago I started this great course and I never neglected gesture drawing ☺️ Here are some actual ones
1yr
these look incredible. Not sure there is much to say here except if you're someone focused on gesture all of Mike Mattesis Force courses/books are really good.

OK, I didn't see the Skelly zip for the invention assignment. I opened it and got overwhelmed. Here are my shameless copies of Prof P's demos. I hope to one day be able to identify and invent all this stuff from my head, just like he does.

These look nice. I would go through and do the skelly ones on your own now. That way you can compare against what you learned.

i tried thinking in 3d, any feedback is appreciated

These look really good. Maybe some cross contour lines would help keep the volumes consistent. Also a ground plane can help you see the depth of the shapes in space. Looks like you're on the right track.
I am going through the figure drawing fundamentals course, and I am the landmarks stage. All the anatomy and terminology is really intimidating. How crucial are landmarks? Can someone give me an idea of how much landmarks practice do I have to do, not to master landmarks of course, but in order to move on to the next lesson?

Its more important to know them visually. If you know what to look for and you can pinpoint them in a photo you should be good.

going over this lesson again, as i couldn't finish it, tips would be great!

These look like a big improvement over your last post. I think you can use a bigger brush so you dont have to go back over your lines so much.

Nice drawings. I think the form you are showing for the Erector Spinae is way too small. You can download the ebook for reference.

Here are the 2minute gestures i made some problems i spotted right off the bat is that the thickness of the limbs are pretty out of proportions i still have no idea what i could do to fix this but if you do please let me know. Any and all critiques are welcomed thankyou in advanced.
3yr
I dont think you need to worry about exact proportion on 2 min or less gestures. Just getting across the motion and force of the pose is good. Your drawing are nice, just keep doing them every day and your eye will improve.

Hello everyone. Thanks for a feedback on the robo bean. ( photos from Marcia poses serie)
I am a total beginner, so would love some guidance.
Thanks

Hi, nice start on these. Like @Jake Kruk said, you should make the boxes straight for now. It will help you focus on showing off the stretching, pinching and twisting motions.

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!

Hi, spending 7 days on each section is a great idea. i have been doing something similar. These drawings look really good already. I think the way you are doing the chest is confusing the pose. I would just leave it out for now. There are some places you are using 2 curves where 1 would work. On #17 the right leg is great, the left one doesnt need the double curve, its breaking the motion. I would focus on flow and dont get too caught up in making sure you see the knee or elbow breaks. Overall youre looking good. Pretty nice proportions as well. Only the heads seem small and maybe like an after thought. You can use the head to follow through the main flow line. the back or side of the head can arc with that line. Nice work!
