Planning to focus on the loomis head for the next week. As a jumping off point does anything of these stand out as glaringly wrong?
Thanks in advance! Whoo!

I didn't go in for detail with these, more trying to think about the planes of the hands and hows they would be lit by the different light sources. Feedback welcome!
These look super cool @Sam West, amazing job on these!
The only critique would be the bottom left one, the "✌" one. It might just be my hand dexterity but the thumb looks too folded over at the joint as if it's flat to the palm. It's not like the thumb can't touch the palm, it's just that I struggle to have the thumb that close to the palm without it being further across towards the pinky side. Again might just be my dexterity. Great work!

Hey everyone, please check out these gesture, structure lay ins and let me know what you think. I’ll proceed with shading after criticism. Jesper, thanks for looking at the previous submission; any further thoughts? @Jesper Axelsson
Hi there @Richard Barkman! I like your gesture with all four hands in hand 4 & your simplification of the fingers. Good Job!
Some suggestions:
1. Loosen up the gesture stage to emulate what proko's are like in his gesture tutorials (using c s i lines)
2. Spend time defining the planes of the hands with more simplified primary shapes (Boxes, Cylinders, Spheres), especially with the palm connection to the fingers in hand 2 + back of hand in hand 1.
Keep up the great work!! Happy drawing!

Hey @Liandro! Great expression! from the dog's fear (and size), composition & guy's angry rage (and size)!
This is more of a suggestion,
as it seems your going with a portrayal of power with the man's overbearing rage bending the table and chair, would you say, as the man's bending forward, the chair legs could bend all in unison to complement the C curve as you have with the dog's chair, shifting the weight from directly down from the pelvis to a teetering 'seesaw' like distribution of his body weight?
PS. Massive thanks for your previous critiques!!

Hi guys! Would be great to get some feedback on this, not too sure I've manniquinized correctly (done with solid enough form)? Bonus if ya got any gesture tips! Thanks!

Here is my mannequin, I tried to be more dynamic.
Great form in this piece. You've done a good job of exaggerating the pose too! One thing I'd be watching out for is the balance of the pose. Looks a bit too heavy on-screen right of the pose.
Happy Drawing!

Hey Stan/Kristian, thanks for streaming! What would you guys define as a great critique? Plus the opposite, a really bad one. Thanks again!

Great start @Tiger Gayle-Walker!
Your lines have a nice fluidity to them, and you're doing a good job of keeping the individual curves nice and dynamic. I think the areas you could improve on are:
1- Proportion and structure. The arms are quite short and there's no indication of foreshortening, and the head and back leg aren't quite connecting to the body- did you have reference for this or was it from imagination? Drawing from ref is the fastest way to improve proportion. :)
2- While the individual rhythms are nice, they're not connecting with each other to create larger rhythms through the whole figure. I'd start with identifying and simplifying the centerline a bit: her primary action is that she's pressing forwards, so everything else should follow that curve in some way (red). After that, the limbs will feel a lot more gestural if you find ways to connect them to other body parts with a consistent rhythm (blue and green). Lastly sometimes you'll want to deviate from anatomy to get a better gesture: since her centerline is curved towards the right, having the arch of the back do the same will reinforce the gesture (orange), you can always add anatomy on top later.
Keep up the good work! :D
Hey @Jon Neimeister, Thanks so much for the critique! Definitely agree with you on those points, looking back I’m seeing a lot more positional errors too haha. I wasn’t paying much attention to the flow as a whole or structure too either, so I’ll definitely keep those as reminders and pay more attention moving forward!

Hi guys, hope you’re all well! Feedback welcome & appreciated!
The aim for this 30min sketch was to get a fluid figure with a sense of weight. What do you think I should work on going forward? Thanks in advance!

These Excercise was very fun to draw (especially the flunk fat)
What are you thinking about?
Hey @James Mayr, Nice work! I like the motion on these!
A little suggestion, try closing the space between the ribcage and pelvis. It should only be around one hand width apart max (Try putting your own hand between the side of your ribcage an pelvis). To avoid over complicating it, I'd suggest practicing this on the robo-bean until your gotten the spacing down. Keep at it! :]

Hey guys! A few ribcage studies, feedback on these would be massively appreciated! Mainly because I'm unsure how to correct a majority of these pieces. (In order of most recent first)

Hi guys, some quick 30sec bean sketches! Any critiques would be a massive help! As I’m gonna start running back over bean n robo bean lessons :) (plus idk if this is a suitable way to draw them)

Hi! I would say to study the manniquization a bit more to make sure the parts are properly placed in perspective. It seems that you are trying to consider the gesture of the whole body which is great. Maybe you could do more gesture drawing on the same pose until it feels like everything flows. Then, as a next step, if you are having trouble with the structure whole body I would try to first figure out how to place the bean or robobean. Then I would add the legs and arms as simple cylinders
Also I would watch out for proportions. The feet on the third one look a bit small
:)
Thanks a lot for the feedback, and sorry for the late response... my bad :') Will definitely try this out on the next few!

Hi there! I love the action in these and as someone who skates they definitely capture that movement well. One thing I would suggest is doing an extra step to clean things up a bit. You could try lightly erasing (a kneaded eraser rolled over the image works well) leaving you with an under drawing that is very light. From there you can pick out one strong line for your final image.
Hi Matthew, Thanks for the great suggestion! I'll definitely try out doing finalized versions this way. And thanks, I'm glad I captured this sense of movement, as I don't have much first hand experience with skating.

Ribcage construction - First two were from reference, third was made from a box shape. Tried to simplify it's shape and looking back at these I can see a few perspective issues. Critiques Welcome! especially on proportions thanks! @Liandro Roger

I tried to capture the gesture first, but i feel like it ended up being bit stiff ^^; The last drawing was especially tricky to me. If you see any mistakes that I can improve, please let me know!
Hi Suntory! Can't see any mistakes on my end, great construction on these. If you don't mind, I'd like to know how you practiced to get such solid figures?
Some improvements I can see are mainly in the leg/ weight distribution. The first image the pelvis could be twisted clockwise on the y axis so its facing the left a bit more, in the reference her right nipple, belly button and groan seem close to be aligning at a slight diagonal. The second may need the pelvis pushed to the right of the image as there seems to be a C curve from head/spine to right foot. In three the seat could be lowered and his right foot extended. In four the hip could be rotated anticlockwise so it matches with the upper bodies C curve/ whole bodies S curve. You've actually done a great job on the fifth image, all I can say is see if you can push the C curve because the ribcage looks like it can be leant a bit more to the right of the image, your bean has done this well though as the bean isn't as leant forward as the reference, I think the C curve isn't as dominant. Thanks for the great submission!
