added comment inHow to Draw Gesture
Asked for help
I re-learn the gesture again, but focusing more on the torso area this time, since I think it's easier to do the limbs once I got the big torso shapes done.
Also i tried to visualize the squash and stretch this time. I hope I can get some feedbacks or critiques on these.

going back to basics, and did some torso studies sketches. Trying to look understand the concept of squash and stretch before tackling anatomy someday.
Anykind of feedbacks will be greatly appreciated.. thank you..

Figure drawing, Ignore the note that is not red, it's just a way to test whether my thought and ticks have an effect.
I wonder if I asses my self correctly ? Since self checking like this, there could be a mistake that is overlooked or misunderstood
I hope I can get some feedback and critiques on these. Thank you
first of all I like that you actually put back your drawing on top of the refference. That's the quickest way to see where it is lacking. And by the look of it you already saw most of the problems to improve next time.
For your problem, I think your biggest problem right now is you focus too much on the smaller curves and that make you missed the bigger flow. The 5th one is your best, because I can see the right side is beautifully described with a big flow curve and the pinch on the left to balance it. But all the other you can see that you look at the smaller changes in the contour too much and miss the over all flow. I suggest you try to do what you did for the 5th one for the other, find a big curve that describe the contour the best, and then modify it a little bit for the smaller changes.

my attempt at feet, I think a deep down anatomy studies like this is still too early for me, need to do something simpler first

This is great practice! I would recommend staying gestural as you lay in and work out the proportions and find that long gestural line in each pose. Also, try to work out how each piece inserts or connects to each other. This will help you create more accurate cross contour lines. Great job with this assignment and keep up the good work :)

Nice job on these studies. I think you could use more straight lines and hard edges on your 3rd drawings.
I want to see more. Keep it up!

I did some expressions study. I feel like knowing the muscles of the face will help me do this better

Hi @Samuel Sanjaya, nice studies!
- I've been trying to learn drawing facial expression for a long time. I too thought that learning the individual muscles of the face would help me do it better, but it didn't help that much. I've been studying the Disney animators a lot recently. There is an awarness of the muscles in their drawings, but they are focusing on the large masses and how they squash and stretch. You need very little detail! Just a few shapes can give a very clear expression.
So keep it to just a few shapes, give us a feeling of solidity with a rigid cranium, then have the features squash and stretch on top of it; have all the features affect eachother. I did a paintover explaining this in more detail.
It might help to do some studies of facial expressions drawn by a Disney animator.
I hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any questions!

Nice work Samuel! You're getting a great balance of fluidity and form in your gestures :) I do notice a tendency to lean more on curves, especially in the last page. Keep an eye out especially for slight curves, which can be simplified into straight lines. That helps add more variety and contrast into the drawing.
Keep up the great work, you're doing awesome!
