Thanks for this video! As I reviewed my initial drawings I would say I mostly have issues with making the arms/legs too short when there is foreshortening and sometimes I get the direction of the wrapping lines wrong, but that doesn't bother me a lot, I'm sure I'll get a better sense of it with time.

Gesture drawing demo focused on handling complex poses with asymmetry, rhythm, and storytelling through expressive lines and movement.
Difficult poses. Still working on the gesture and trying not to get into contours. Critiques are appreciated.
