added comment inBean Assignment Examples – Tilt and Lean
Looking for critics/tips! I sometimes have issues finding the correct overlap, especially when the body seems relatively flat/the two 'balls' seem like they are stacked right on top of each other. I understand that the closer ball (to the viewer) should have precedence/be on top, but would appreciate any tips/other ways to look at it. I am also brand new to charcoal and the methods of the pencil... am I always supposed to hover my hand across the paper and try to never place it down at all? I find it difficult to get smooth lines if I don't have a slight point of contact. Hovering the pencil at a level plane is tough! I'm sure this just comes with practice but am wondering if I have the correct idea. Is a minimal point of contact okay (the nail/tip of my middle finger for example), or should I strive to hover at all times and just improve with practice? Thanks to anyone who responds :)

I used your first “wrong overlap” bean as an example to explain how you would go about finding the right overlap. The body may seem flat in a picture, but remember you’re looking at 3D forms. I don’t know if you’ve moved on to the next lessons, but the Robo Bean will help you understand that. Also Stan exaggerated his bean by tilting the hips up so we can clearly see that the hips are coming towards us. As for ghosting, I would suggest not overthinking it and just put down marks if you feel like it, you can always draw lightly and then erase with a kneaded eraser if you feel like the line isn’t how you wanted it.

I still hope somebody will answer those questions - or if you figured it out, please write down the answer - I am struggling with the very same things.
