hey guys this is a few pages i try doing for the bean exercise, this is the first time i ever did this is so i kind of mess up in a few places i think but i don't know. I'm going to draw 50 more beans as my new assignment i give to myself feedback is appreciated. PS i try to darken the lines this time so you can actually see it, back in gesture i was use to making my lines as light as possible

For a first time your beans are looking good! My initial thoughts are that you should exaggerate the beans more, this may be my ryes playing tricks on me but they all look very similar in pose and exaggeration. My second thought is that it seems like many of your beans are more oval, there is nothing wrong with that but it makes them look a bit flat compared to full, rounded circles. Do with that what you will and keep up the good work, they really do look good and your lines are very neat!

2 of my practice poses. One of then I did with pen so it ended up a little scratchy. I am still struggling with making the shapes look fluid and 3d so any advice on that is greatly appreciated!

Towards the end of this bean practice I started to get a grasp of what i was doing. I still feel I can improve on exaggeration and line quality but things are coming more fluidly now. Any further insights and advice would be appreciated though

This is only my second time trying the bean. I feel I struggle with the squash and stretch as well as showing the form and shape. Any critique on these topics or anything else you notice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I love the pose, it really conveys who the character is! I notice how you thinned the lines on shoes and I think that is a great detail, you could vary the outer lines even more but that can also be more of a stylistic choice and not entirely necessary. I'm really excited to see how much you improve zms, it looks great so far.

I am a beginner so take my advice with a grain of salt. I would say more line variation would help balance this piece. All of the lines I see are incredibly heavy and dark and the details seem to get lost in this, I end up not knowing what I am looking at. I do like how solid the pose feels, it seems to go well with the armor and the general idea that the character is giving me. Keep up the great work, I'm curious to see what you do next!

Continuing a Watercolor Painting

I have been working on watercolour painting and I always get to a point where I don't know what to do next. Any advice on how to continue a painting and complete would be appreciated. I am a complete beginner when it comes to this so I am getting stuck.

Asked for help

I have been working on gesture for the past five days or so. I am still unsure how to draw the forms of the body so I would be interested to know of any artists that you like that I could look at their gestures and emulate some different styles? Any other critiques or advice is also welcome. These are two minute gestures.
