Gesture, structure, gesture, structure, ect…. Is another process. It’s what I use. As long as you’re following some sort of thoughtful process, you will get better. You will eventually develop a process which works best for you. The one you laid out here sounds like a fine way to go about it. Give it a shot and see how it goes!

These look good! You’re effectively simplifying the complex structures to simple shapes - cylinders and boxes. Some of these figures are missing the boxes for the kneecaps and elbows, but that’s a minor point. Is there anything you struggled with while working on this project?

also was excited to do this because I want to create an original character so here is some sketches I did of her while doing this assignment. Her name is Eva a celestial being.. Her design is still in the works.

Would love to see this finished one day. Giving me Teenage mutant ninja turtle vibes! :D

Nice job capturing gesture and proportions while working on form.

Wow, incredible! Even though you had to guess at the specific anatomy, you definitely have a solid understanding of how to group the forms. Nice work 👍

Great start! Love seeing all the breakdowns of the shapes with cross contours indicating the perspective. For the feet, a shape I like to think about is a wedge, like a triangular piece of cheese. Having a solid flat base for the sole of the feet, but still having that slope at the top, really helps me picture the perspective needed to ground the shape properly. Give it a try! :)

Nice work!

I've no idea how you figured out the scapula positions on the twisting pose, but it's very helpful to see. Thanks for posting.

Good work!

I think these are looking great. Mannequinization is meant to be a tool for you as an artist to use in a way that suits your needs, so make it work for you. Your lines could be cleaned up a bit, which makes me think you may be moving too fast through the exercises so maybe try slowing down, taking your time and thinking about each form carefully before placing a simplified shape. Overall I think you have the right idea!

I think you're doing pretty good! Especially on those last 4, the gesture and the constructions is looking pretty great, and your lines are pretty clean! Cross contour lines properly indicating direction, and the pieces all seem to connect well! I'm no expert but if I had any advice to give is to doing more!
