Hi, I have been working on the beans section for a while now (probably a couple of months, which might be too long I'm not too sure) and I am having a little bit of trouble with twists and keeping the beans looking "tidy" like Stan's. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep cleaner lines for the beans? I'm Using the overhand drawing technique shown in the shading section of the course. Also, I have some beans to share! I would love some critique to help figure out where I can improve. (Also also, I wanted to note that I tried to push the beans to an extreme, which I feel like I was able to do but unsure if I did it right)

When it comes to drawing cleaner lines, try drawing with your entire arm instead of just your wrist. Also, try ghosting your lines which means practicing the motion of drawing your line without letting your pen touch the paper. Then after you feel you've ghosted enough times draw one smooth, continuous line without hesitating.

Tried 30 Second Beans and I can tell I'm not great at these. Any advice would be very helpful. :)

Before I did my 2 minute poses, I did some poses without a time limit which I think really helped me analyze the figure and be more careful with my lines. I'm still not great at this, but I feel that I can improve a lot if I keep on doing this. Any sort of advice or critique is very useful to me right now.

Tried some more gesture drawings after watching this video. I'm really struggling with the time limits of 30 seconds and 2 minutes, but I'm thinking I just need to do this more to get used to it. Any advice/critique is much needed.

I tried some 30 second poses after watching the first video. I mainly tried to focus on making quick lines without any consideration for form, so I can just bang out the gesture quickly. Any advice/critiques would be very helpful!
