Drawing along the demonstrations. A lot of things I missed or overlooked the first time I did it. Time to move onto the critique section.
so much time spent on beans loll, but I love it!

And with this, I've drawn over 100 beans in 4 days.
Stupendous.

These are 1 minute bean studies. Making round marks using my whole arm and not just my wrist is something I'm working on in these studies. May need to review some twist and lean examples. If anything else stands out, I'd love to hear critique

Beans assignments before watch critiques. Not good, just to mark the level at the moment.
Btw, I really appreciate these sentences of critiques of Stan: "Think of each one of these as a drawing you're going to frame and put up on a wall some where. You shouldn't just go through the motion really quickly, just to get it out of the way. If you're going to practice, do it correctly. TRY TO DO SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE PROUD OF." These are medicines for me.

Here's my attempt at a bean study. I don't know how to say much. But I tried my best.

Bean Study excercise, the red ones are me following the video examples. I think what Proko meant by "designing the shapes" is perhaps by distorting the bean shapes to fit the reference maybe? You can see me often flattening the top/bottom of the beans to show a contrast in angles.

can I ask what you guys are drawing on when you're doing critiques? just out of curiosity :).
