Hello! I've tried the assignment, doing 3 poses from a pose website. I found that not every pose is good for this exercise - seems like a lot of poses can just barely be exaggerated further, and also, it's hard to make an exagerrated pose not look stiff. I'll be grateful for any critique, I'm trying to figure out what to focus on, what to do to improve (in partivular, make the poses less stiff and more realistic)

Hi all! I'll be grateful for critique. I attempt the poses before watching the examples, and try to figure out the mannequinazation for myself first. I think the limited knowledge of anatomy holds me back: in examples, Stan often draws muscles of the torso and I always feel a bit lost when he does that since witholut knowledge about muscles it's really hard to identify and simplify them. But maybe I'm missing something> Also I'd be grateful for assessment of my proportions - I know sometimes it's hard to see proportional flaws in your own drawings. And any advice is very welcome ;)

Here are my animals. I think I have a problem that's mentioned in a different critique: I see curves and not planes. I thought about it after the second animal (the pig), and tried to pay more attention to simple geometric forms in the next 3 sketches. I'll be grateful for any feedback, thank you in advance!

This exercise was fun. I wonder why boxes and cylinders are relatively easy, but once it comes to people and animals, it's a leap and it's much more difficult to use simple forms. I tried to do boxy forms and cylinder-like forms, not just proper boxes and cylinders, thinking it might help with animals later.

I have drawn all the poses from the video (before watching the examples - I tried to spot my mistakes/things I did differently and work on them on the next poses). I'll be very grateful for any feedback and advice. It seems that line quality is a big issue for me - I'm trying to work on it, and I would love any kind of advice on this as well. Thank you in advance!
