So, these took a really long time (probably more than an hour each). Some poses were easy to get the gesture for (like the first example), and others were not so easy (last example). I could definitely keep going with more drawings, but I feel like I haven't made visible progress. I had real difficulties with the shoulder/upper torso, as I just couldn't figure out the perspective of the box and how it goes into the arm. Throughout I tried to keep in mind to soften some of the forms like the torso and pelvis. Still had fun with these (most of the time!) but I've still got a lot of mannequins ahead of me.

Here's my attempt at the Robo Bean. Didn't use charcoal like I did for the Landmarks submission as it just got too messy, so I hope this is better! I have put the drawings/references side by side in order. Had particular difficulty with twisting and foreshortening when following along with Stan's examples, so I included some here. As always critique is most welcomed :)

Here are my few landmark attempts. Struggled to find the scapula on the back reference. Any feedback is very much appreciated!

This excercise definitely took a long time. I found that the less dynamic the pose, the harder it was to make them look 3D. After looking at LOTS of examples, getting the gesture down and many more attempts at the drawings here, here they are! I have also gotten good practice drawing cubes and cylinders by themselves, although applying them to organic forms is a very hard task. Want to revisit this task later on as well. Critique much welcomed :)

Some beans :) Really had trouble with twists - I would add in twist lines for most poses even though they were only slightly twisting. Once I got the hang of it, only my line quality held me back. Would appreciate feedback!

Hi everyone, here's a sample of my 2 minute gestures. Loved doing these, but I'd really like some feedback on how to improve! Thanks :)
