I feel like I'm not using enough basic shapes.

First sketches made after watching the first video of the mannequinizatiom amd the second sketches I did it along with the first example video. A few things are still a little bit off I think. I will look at it tomorrow with fresh eyes. Did not sleep very well and already exercising for several hours 😅 But as always open for feedback if anyone notice something

First and second attempts. I think Im happier with the first attempts

Anyone knows why Stan skips her feet? ahhhhh im dying to see him draws em, constructs em

My attempt at this example. I tried doing this one only with overhand grip of the pencil, I struggled to adjust as I've never built up the muscle memory drawing this way! Maybe it's too much to juggle with learning mannequinization at the same time, but I can see it being a superior method if I stick to it!

hm

Right so the first image is my first attempt of course, and the second is after I watched the video. What I notice is that for the first one it's REALLY stiff and looks all just... weird, while with the second one I was sure to work on the actual gesture first. But with the second, I now notice the placement of the arms was a little off. Maybe one day I'll achieve placement AND gesture🥲 Any advice appreciated❤️

Nothing against Stan, but comparing his drawing to the reference photo, the drawing needs to lose at least 50 pounds. (I think the model would be offended by it.)

My attempt before watching the video. a few shortcomings on mine. i missed the pelvis angle, my box has the other side plane showing. my overall gesture isnt as strong. i could be more deliberate with my contour lines, a lot of them look like the same angle ellipse my thoracic arch is too big, it should be more narrow on a lady could have made more indications of planes on the head. onto the next one!

This one went surprisingly smoothly.

For this one I followed along at the start, but then went off on my own without Stan's demo for later parts. Kinda wonky looking, especially with the arms, but I tried!

Playing around with structural concepts.
