More practice of the "bean!" Oh, the bean exercise is also great for portraits. Especially when the face is tilted or slanted. Because the face in it's simplest shape is an oval in my opinion.

The “bean” assignment unfortunately slowed my progress in this class. And almost prevented me from even attempting further lessons for two reasons. It was difficult for me to understand why and how you practice the “bean” exercise. Even though Stan clearly explains why in the beginning of the lesson and provides examples of how to perform the exercise. But I guess seeing is believing!
Because I saw some students work on another platform (YouTube) where the drawings of the model did not have the correct twist and contortion. It was stiff particularly in the rib cage and pelvis area. The rest of the drawings looked good though. But the center of the drawing was lacking... So, with this new information I will be practicing the “bean” for a while in place of doing quick sketch exercise for an hour. I hope this quick explanation helps any future or current students. Best of luck!

Okay interesting results, some success with still some things to work out. I checkmarked the ones I thought were pretty close to what the answer ended up being. Overall, the main things I am messing up here are wrong overlaps and misidentification of twists. It seems I need to think about what form is necessarily on top, especially if the top/bottom of either form is visible. I need to make of point of dotting my volumes, before I run the center line, just like stan does. I also need to give my center lines a destination and avoid them running parallel to the contour. I think this is fine sometimes but usually, the center will change in distance from the outside contour. Lastly, I need to control the value of my lines better. I'm using the same pencil as stan and he isn't going nearly as dark as me and only presses a little harder when he is working on the pinch, I'll try following suit. I think doing so leads to clearer line quality.

I like the bean, it makes it easy to visualize the body. I just hope it helps carry over in some way to full figures.

Did the beans following the video, did the exercise two times, image 1-4 is my first try, images 5-8 is my second try, following the video I paused each pose, did the bean, then looked at Stans example after and corrected it in a different drawing next mine (C), then started the video again and tried all the beans myself one more time, followed by Stan's example and fixing what I thought I did wrong.
One of my biggest mistakes is I noticed is that I tend to do the ovals too long, tried to fix that in the second attempt, also I'm still getting used to the overhand grip so my lines can get messy, still trying to improve on that, and finally I notice that one of my errors is not pushing the pose enough with the beans, something I tried to amend in the second try as well, I think overall the second try was an improvement, I have to be conscious about my bad habits to fix them in following excercises.
Any feedback is appreciated!

Following along with the video. I can see my lines getting cleaner as I go.

Here are my tilt and lean beans for the assignment. I tried drawing along with the video, but I think I still need to do more additional practice. Any feedback is welcome!

Hey! Here's my Tilt and Lean beans based on the figures from the video (minus that last one; didn't see it coming.) My biggest problem is knowing which bean will end up overlapping the other, as I feel like that informs whether or not the bean itself ends up being accurate to the figure. If there's anything else I'm missing, lemme know!

More beans. They're good for your heart. The more you eat, the more you ...

Tilt & Lean beans. Few questions I have...
When the figure leans forward or backward (unless we are viewing the figures side) then isn't there a little bit of foreshortening since one oval is slightly in front of or behind the other?
Also, sometimes I notice the creases in the skin on the model don't match the fold that proko draws in his example. I was trying to use the curve of the crease to help me decide which oval the folds on the pinched side might follow in the tilt poses... Anyone have tips on this bit?
