I did the example in the video and two additional poses to see how much I could get with what I know now

Here's my first attempt at mannequinization!
Very open to suggestions and feedback on how to improve

This came really awesome. Keep chugging along. This is even further than mannequinization.

Did my attempt before watching the video.
aside from stan having way more anatomical detail, I jotted down some major shortcomings of my attempt.
- too much space between my torso and pelvis boxes
- handling of shoulder plane needs work
-legs need to be foreshortened more in this pose!
-could have exaggerated pose a bit more
-should add more detail to head, maybe attempting loomis method

Assignment from yesterday that I unironically didn't have time to post.
I decided to double check if I was right before committing to draw on some parts but most of it was done on my own; pretty sure I followed the contours a little too much.

My second attempt at mannequinization. I still have some trouble with proportion, especially on the tapering in the leg area. I need some feedback and help on this..

Hey - Im using willow charcoal sticks to draw (on cheap newsprint paper) , I love the softness (and the rub-out your mistakes ability!) but really hard to control. What to people use most to draw with for these exercises? Ta

I would recommend doing one per page instead of shoving two or three on a page. By manually limiting how much space you have to draw you’re not really giving yourself the space to fully grasp the concept because drawing bigger is always a good way to learn.

Its awesome. You clearly understand what you are doing.
I love the way you are attaching an arm to a torso - this is for me the hardest part of mannequinization and I couldnt make it look not-wonky. I am sooo stealing this idea

Accurate. Good gesture. And very clean lines. Quite inspiring!
