I made 3 poses from my imagination based on the reference of the class, if you could give me your opinion I would appreciate it ;)

I love this course so far. Even if I didnt invent yet poses by myself. The course helps me as an entrance to make the proko figure drawing course more easy to practice with. Micheals Method is more simple. Feels very loose and relaxed that style and teaching by MH. After this course I'll continue Stans Figure drawing Course :) Thank you, Michael, I appreciate your method of teaching !! :)

Just tossing in some practice. All poses were from imagination.

I can see how thinking up of a story and character details will help with visualizing invented gestures.

I believe I did well on these invented poses. I love the second especially. Feedback would be appreciated!!

I-m really enjoying this course, thanks!

I gave it a go but this was HARD for sure. The far right is where I started with a reference from the interwebs. The others I tried to invent. I can see how it gets your brain thinking "how do I solve this?" instead of just copying from reference. It was fun though!

Intrusive thoughts on the page. Notes on Story: - use single word or phrase to drive the ideas. talk it out. even if it's unhinged. ;-) - consider the beginning and end of an action for the purpose of inventing. The middle may not be as interesting as how it starts and ends - consider what is happening: big movements? imply with strong diagonals and placement of supporting limbs. Subtle action? Focus on body language: sad or regretful? bow the head, bring chest in, hide hands. Relaxed? Loose hands and limbs. etc etc.

I wish I could write stories like that. 🤣 Thanks for the demo!

OMG, “I’ll get you a new cat’ 🤣🤣 I love the idea of telling a story though a pose. It seems so obvious, but not at the same time. Sometimes I really need something explained to me like I’m a toddler, and this is exactly what I needed.

implementing story throughout each pose is a really cool concept. Definitely will help me going forward to get new poses down quickly!

Same story told from the neighbor's point of view, if not as well.

While I haven't gotten to the point where I create entire scenarios in my head I do often think to myself "what is < insert body part> doing here?" whenever I need to pose thing from imagination.
