Hi @Jahsee Mullings, nice drawings! Great job with the structure! These are also more gestural than your previous attempts :) - I think you're right; there is still room to push the gesture. Maybe all that's needed is to change mindset, to prioritize gesture over structure. If that's hard, I think it could help to do some mannequins where you REALLY push the gesture. Maybe starting with an exaggerated gesture drawing, that you then draw 3D forms on top of. As an example, I did a drawing based on a reference that you've used previously. To be honest, I don't know if I like the drawing this exaggerated; the torso feels broken to me. But overexaggerating was the point of the exercise and with my example I want to encourage you to dare to push the gesture, even beyond what's realistic, for practice purposes. It would be interesting to see you retry the pose in your 3rd image. What would happen if you pushed the c-curve of the body? Like I mentioned last time, 'to make the drawings more gestural' was the same advice I got when I first submitted my mannequins for critique. One thing that helped me then, was to allow myself to bend the forms to emphasize the gesture. Today I prefer to keep the forms unbent for solidity, but bending the forms can be liberating. I attached two of my drawings. One before I received my critique and one after. Note how daring to push the gesture and bending the forms made the second one more fluid. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

For these you really need to work on proportion and finding the gesture

Thank you :)

Hi @Jahsee Mullings, I think you did a good job with these! Keep on practicing! - They are a bit stiff. This happened to me too when I submitted my mannequins for critique the first time. Dare to make them more gestural! It might help to first start with a gesture quicksketch then add forms on top. - To make the figures feel more grounded it might help to add a cast shadow or some perspective floor lines Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

Great job, I really feel you represented where the acromion process and the end of the lower well. Awesome🧨🥇🧨

I think you're doing great! They feel solid and gestural and the motion looks accurate! - I would keep an extra eye on proportion. In the 2nd image for example, top middle robo bean, I think the hip box got a little tall. In image 3, top middle robo bean, the hip box got a little short. You can use the green robo bean in the lesson video as a benchmark for proportion (just remember that it's an avarage and can vary slightly between individuals) - In some of these the distance between the boxes is either too short or too long (4rth image, top row, robo bean to the right; too short . 5th image, top right corner robo bean; too long) I struggled with getting this right too. One thing that helped me was to imagine a connection between the boxes (the spine), just like the green robo bean in the lesson video has. Hope this helps :)

Yes you are because these are look fine🍾❤️❤️‍🔥
