How am I doing so far?

Slowly getting better! I have a long way to go for anatomy, but it's seriously helping me with my proportions and making the form believable

My attempt at the post from the video. I think I need more practice on the box shape for the wrists (radius and ulna) but I look forward to trying this on other poses. Thinking about the muscles and these landmarks in particular really does have a positive effect on my observation and proportion skills in my opinion.

Continuing from my beans from the previous examples, here are my attempts at the poses in this video. I am very quickly realising the beauty of being more confident in my lines and not trying to over-correct them. Of course old habits die hard, but it makes the improvement so clear putting an over-corrected bean next to a confident one!

Here are my attempts at the poses in this video! Like my last post, I am watching the demonstration first and then attempting it myself, using the demonstration drawing as a guide (actively thinking about the twist of the form, trying to visualise the "bean" shape as I look at the model, etc.) I'm trying to fight my bad line habits and try to keep them to a minimum, but I've always struggled with curves so there will be growing pains.

Some of my attempts at the examples in the video. I would first watch the demonstration and then pause the video and attempt it myself, only using the example drawing as a guide to help me see the forms from the model. As I wrap my head around the "bean" I look forward to applying it moving forward :)

Here are some of my attempts at the 2 minutes gesture poses, and a couple of the 30 second ones. I'm struggling to keep some of my drawings fully on the page, but I am aware of this and am open to help and feedback

I tried with some 30 second poses, and some 2 minute ones too. I've always struggled with gesture, so I'm hoping I can turn it into a strength!

First time doing gesture drawing in quite some time. Poses were roughly 2-5 mins from Line of Action, done in an A4 sketchbook with a stick of willow charcoal.
