Had a lot of fun with these! I tried modifying the shapes into stylized ones and exaggerating the pose as well. It was hard to draw stylized forms in perspective and maintaining the relative proportions. However, I encountered a problem in the stylized characters in 9 and 11. These poses look heavily foreshortened and I didn't intend so. It seems to me that the proportions of my characters are responsible for this illusion. Or am I doing something wrong? As I do not intend to make this kind of foreshortening, is there a way to avoid this kind of distortion with the same stylization choices?

ASSIGNMENTS
Use the provided figure references to practice The Shape Method. We'll be using the same photo set as our previous assignment so you can compare your approach in these two methods.
Focus on:
- Part-to-part drawing
- Gesture of each part
- Wrapping lines for perspective
- Working from head to foot
Tips for Success
- Be patient — this method might feel unfamiliar if you're used to a different approach.
- Don’t be hard on yourself — it’s okay if it feels awkward at first.
- Have fun with it — try exaggerating shapes or modifying forms to better connect with the method.
Hard Mode
- Want to increase the difficulty? Modify the forms and exaggerate the figures into new and stylized body types!
Deadline - submit by May 2, 2025 for a chance to be in the critique video!

Looking good. Nice flow throughout. Now Id take a closer look at proportions. Sometimes the heads are getting a little small relative to the torso length and or width. Keep at it!
