I drew some more beans after going through the demonstrations.

I love how calm, slow, and ruthless these older critiques are. "You should earn your dessert."
Amortquio Flores
I draw along with the demonstrations and done some from references. How did I do? Ignore Mr. Bean in the corner.
Donald Pineda
I started to see the beans as abs section or lower back, is that right?

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!
Filippo Galli
And with this, I've drawn over 100 beans in 4 days. Stupendous. Onto the next section of the course!
Melanie Scearce
That's a lot of beans! Lookin good.
@nullmyriad
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
Rachel Dawn Owens
These are perfect! Only critique I might have is that you could push these beans further. Squash, pinch and, twist them till they break.

these are my 30 sec bean drawings, I would love some feedback/criticism on my beans.

Here's my take on bean gestures 2mins
Patrick Bosworth
Nice! These look great, you can really feel the squash in each one. You've made them all feel like they have real depth and volume, they seem to be moving into or out of the picture plane. Keep it up!

i tried looking for waist pinches and drawing the spheres around that, any advice on how im going wrong is helpful.

Here are my beans, would love to hear feedback.

i have to agree with @jverme2r , also a different tool like a pencil will allow you to make more soft forms of the ovals and then darken the are for the pinching, which will help you and the viewer understand the shape and form better! Good luck

I think it would be better if you express 'twist' in a little more exaggerated way

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.
