Can anyone explain to me how you decide which way the tilt lines overlap at an angle straight on like this? first pic is prokos example and second is my attempt. I dont know how you can tell the difference in a pose like this. Thanks.

More bean exercise.

Some bean practice. About 1/2 way through the examples. I first did this exercise when Proko put these on Youtube some 9 years ago or so. I didn't think I would have any trouble, but it showed me that I don't exaggerate poses enough. Linework is getting better since I switched to digital only. Anyways, critiques always welcome.

Hmmm... bean salad. I honestly liked drawing these, though I did feel like I've exaggerated a bit too much on some. Gotta practice the twist a bit more (no I won't dance) Critique is always welcome!

hai sir chandra sekhar

In this one I think the model is not twisted enough as to see part of the front. Instead, the model is showing her back, what is not shown in the bean presented. Am I right, or the bean is correct for the sake of exaggeration?

Following along with Stan

A page full of leans, twists, tilts, and foreshortened bean poses

More beans. Really having trouble with the relative placement of the two ovals.. is the pelvis oval suppose to follow the contour of the buttocks?

I've drawn 6 beans and would like some critique as to what might be wrong or what i can do better. I dont know how to organize pictures but i hope you will be able to see which bean corresponds to which picture.

I went almost through the entire course and now I go back through the videos and I try different exercises - Here I'm trying to guess the bean and I'm expanding it to a whole figure drawing. I don't know how much OK these are, but as far as I couldn't even draw a simple gesture at the beginning I think I have some progress. I still struggle with measuring and finding the correct proportions but I'm on the way. Sorry for the bad picture, but my baby is sleeping and I hurry to draw as much as I can while having this precious time for myself.

Any suggestions on what tool to use for these drawing, i am using a regular pencil but it makes the lines more messy than the tool he is using in the video, also this may be a beginner question but does everyone hold their drawing tool the same as he does in videos, does it matter ?

Hi, here are some beans drawings i made. How am i doing?

What's the difference between this 40 min video and the Tilt & Lean, Twist, And Foreshortening videos? Are the latter just this video, split apart?

Hi, here's a page of beans. I never feel quite sure of how good I am doing whenever I draw them lol. Any advice/feedback?

this is my attempt for this, i think i have a problem when exaggerating

Can someone help me with the twists? In the twist section, sometimes the bean takes an "S" shape where there are opposing overlaps in both sides, this one makes sense to me, but sometimes if you were to look at the silhoutte it looks like a tilting bean (with one long "C" curve at one side), but the vertical contour line bends like an S. It's not so much that I don't understand the bean itself, but when looking at the body I have no idea which twisting motion I should draw. The way I'm doing the excerises is that I'm doing the bean myself, and then see how Proko does that same pose and at this point I'm just guessing. Sometimes I do it like he does but honestly it feels like I was just guessing, For now, my theory is that if both spheres are twisting in the same direction but one less intense than the other then use the tilting silhouette and denote the twist with the vertical contour line, and if they are twisting in opposite directions then use the full S-shaped bean. Can someone confirm or correct my hypothesis? Thanks!

fist time practicing this!!
