Relaxing drawing session, felt comfortable most of the time other than some times where my pencil control was off. Heavy critiquing appreciated

A great style development is happening here Victor.

Feel myself getting faster, still sometimes need to go back after finishing 2 min session and add line variation. Any tips for adding line variation while on the 2 min limit? Also, how do you block out curly hair that feels like it adds to the gesture (particularly when the hair is hanging off the model's head?
Any tips on keeping pencil sharpened from naturally using the side? I notice I still end up with uneven pencil with blunted tip.

Beans are kind of fun, Gets difficult with twisting + tilting
First set is Marcia as ref second is Chanon
Beans looking good. As you progress, this is a nice way to warm up before studies :)
Great job! I like that these beans' poses are very clearly legible, and there's lots of them -- so, lots of practice!
I think if you wanted you could take on an extra level of challenge -- how about beans in perspective, with foreshortening?? :0
Your exageration is really good,I can feel the weight anf energy on most of these drawings.
If I have to give a critique,I guess I would say you use too many thin lines(more so on the second page than in the first one).I don't think there's enough line variation to make some of them interesting.I suggest copying master which line quality you enjoy and trying to imbued it the next time you do gesture drawing
Well I hope this was useful
2 min gesture practice
2 min gesture + ~2 min polish. Last one gesture shading practice
Open to critique
Nice work catching those major curves of the torso. It's always good to remember the energy-based purposes of the C S and I lines. You know, tension in a bend vs the looseness of a stretch.

Hey folks,
I was doing a bit of a study on noses and reluctantly some on shading. I was wondering if I could get some tips on how to improve my shading workflow. I understand the concept of establishing your value range and shadows early on but I guess I get a bit lost in regards to working with the different value ranges (ex. light skin, dark shirt) in correlation with shadows and the core shadow along with establishing the object's smoothness or roughness and specularity in this medium (graphite/charcoal).

these are good though! I especially like that glassy eyeball goodness in the bottom right! Great one!

I've been off and on taking these courses but got busy with school and work so here I am restarting the portrait drawing course. I drew what a knew to see where I'm starting so I'm essentially just looking for some tips of what I did right and wrong so that I can foster the good habits and funnel out the bad ones early on.

Looks really good Victor! A tip that helped me a lot in drawing the overall head shape in proportion is to measure the width of the head and compare it to the length. Glad you are getting it in even with work and school. That takes discipline and grit. Good work!
