Bean Study excercise, the red ones are me following the video examples. I think what Proko meant by "designing the shapes" is perhaps by distorting the bean shapes to fit the reference maybe? You can see me often flattening the top/bottom of the beans to show a contrast in angles.

I tried to study angles by using only Straight lines, as suggested by lovelifedrawing. Didn't really go as expected, I either need to dramatically reduce the amount of lines or find way more dynamic poses for this exercise. Also attached, a quick 2 minute practice session

Hei Hei, I'm learning again by following the YT videos. Here I've followed the examples to better my understanding of CSI. The first drawing is me just copying the example (the second is me re-doing it from imagination). The rest is me trying the examples by myself first before copying the drawing examples. The last 3 is my first attempt at exaggeration, followed by the example, and then I retried it again. I followed the same timings as in the video. I've noted my "style" changes drastically depending on which tutorial/book I'm studying from at the time. Is this normal for a beginner?

Hey everyone! This is my first post on here. I've been doing gestures for a while now but for some reason without ever seeking feedback. This led me to giving up practice several months back since I got too busy at work. I've finally decided to restart my learning this year. This time hopefully with feedback at the focus. I've attached my last ever practice session before i quit (a batch of 20 daily practice gesture + construction 1 minute each) and my current progress (the batch with references) Before I restart this course.
