Finished the last three poses, and I am mostly happy with them, though one of them I feel like I may have not quite finished around the chest.
Going to move on to proportions....errr after I watch the step by step

Definitely watch the video on proportions as proportions do seem to be an issue. I would also watch the measuring video , I already know how to measure and it really helps with proportions. But also , you’re over complicating the figure. Adding too many contours and it doesn’t seem like you’re breaking the figure into basic shapes that you understand. . Work more on designing your shapes. Design shapes that are easy to remember, easy enough that you can replicate the drawing without a reference.

If anyone has any advice or tips they can give to me I’d appreciate it!

Still getting back into Mannequinization, up to 10 at this point, probably will do at least 5 more before hitting balance.

My take away from this is to think In boxes

I don’t understand the robo bean that starts on 11:50. Why does the bean end up looking like that I’m just not seeing it

For this lean and twist example, the first tutorial video draws the overlapping lines in a certain direction from this reference - yet later in the twist assignment examples video, we're asked to spot what is wrong and are told the lines should overlap in the other direction - I'm confused as to which of these we should follow

Ithink of it as two connected rings or a chain if twisted the way shes twisting it would make sense whats infront of what

Can anybody offer general tips on how to determine which part of the bean should be in front?
I've also attached specific examples I had trouble with:
1.) It looks like she's sticking out her hips toward us, but Stan drew the top part in front.
2.) She looks level and not tilting forward or backward, but Stan drew the bottom part in front.
3.) Same as #2, she looks kind of level, but Stan drew the bottom part in front.

You’re looking at it at surface level. You have to imagine the pelvis and rib cage and what they’re doing underneath the skin and muscles. You also have to exaggerate the bean . This is also more or less about gesture so there’s that too

After finishing the video examples, I moved onto other references. I think at times I have a little trouble with joints and using them effectively to show the planes of certain points, ie the knee and elbow. I also find the top shoulder hard to understand, whether its a block shape or more of a curve.
Overall I think I'll be moving on from Mannequinization lessons, I still think at times my line quality is a little messy, but its just something I have to work on.

These are amazing buddy! Although , I think exaggerating the poses on a few of these could really help.

my first attempt at manaqiunization. Gonna keep following along and getting better. But I wanted to share my first mannequin. It ain’t much but it’s honest work.

Did a couple more . A lot of the criticism was helpful. I’m going back to the bean and robo bean as well as practicing more gesture for a couple more weeks. But I’ll still attempt the mannequin for fun until I get a better grip on the other fundamentals.

I’m rewatching some of these videos to refresh the concepts in my head. And I feel like I understand them a little better going back to them. A Question I have though. Does the bottom of the circle for the torso generally end at the top of the belly button?

can someone explain the last robo bean to me? i feel like i don't understand why its that way.

feels like gesture but with extra steps. I'm following along and i really appreciate how similar it is to gesture. seems like its just adding more plane changes and anatomy.

I’m having trouble drawing twisting forms. Like twisting figures, boxes or other geometry. I feel this is what’s lacking in my robo beans and gestures. I guess you could say I can’t wrap it around my head.
