I tried to draw from a random pose after watching proko's assignment examples and this is how it turned out. While I don't think it's the worst in the world, everything just feels off. For some reason I just can't see the volumes and their perspective in the reference pose until I draw it and make a mistake. Is this a natural part of the learning process or am I doing something horribly wrong?

So far for „boxy things“.. I have a feeling that I need to revisit perspective, am not sure about to where the lines will meet or diverge.. and on to „organic things“…

Here's a really useful rule I learned: All parallel lines converge to a common vanishing point. If you have something like an octagon with 4 sets of parallel lines, there will be 4 different vanishing points etc. With a cube, you have 3 sets of parallel lines with each set containing 4 lines, so you have 3 vanishing points with 4 lines converging on each.

Here are couple gesture drawings of mine. I think I have most of the fundamentals for gesture down, so I'd like some critique to iron out the rest of my mistakes before I move on.

Here's a study I drew; the focus is on proportions and volumes. If any of you have some critique or some advice on what I should focus on next, I'd appreciate it!

Hello, I did these gestures today. I think traditional are easier than digital lines.

Wow, this looks really clean! I'm not too experienced with figure drawing so take this with a grain of salt but in the last figure drawing, it seems like the flow is really disjointed between the torso and legs. It was kind of awkward? I don't know what the original pose looked like so I can't give any detailed impressions

I don't think I'm good enough to help you improve, but I just wanted to say that the movements of your robo beans look really clear and natural!

This is one of my first few standalone attempts at landmarks. Before this, I spent a lot of time tracing over photographed models, so I am confident I have the absolute basics down but I can't perceive the subtleties of poses. For example, in this photo I can't tell what she is doing with her left shoulder(from the perspective of the viewer). Is she pushing it down? Back? A combination of both? I tried comparing her the shoulder position and shoulder blade angle with the orientation of the ribcage, but I have no idea what angle the ribcage is at either. The spine seems to be going in one direction, while the silhouette of her ribcage suggests another direction(spine looks like it's turning left, while the silhouette of the ribcage looks like it's tilting in the other direction). Is there any way for me to reliably draw these subtleties? Thanks!

How do you tell the difference between a mistake and added flair when it comes to drawing in your own style?

My guess is after some time, you should have a fleshed out central theme, any things that take away from it are considered mistakes, while others are considered flairs. I like to use spikes as an example. They're good on a leather jacket of a motorcycle gang member, but awful on a nurse(if you're trying to portray the generic personality traits associated with nurses, instead of something ironic).
