Did some beans and compared to the video as I went. I don't know if I don't understand Stan's rule about corners and twisting forms overlapping or if he doesn't follow his own rule, but I overlapped forms the opposite way that Stan would do it about 80% of the time. It was getting a little frustrating

Hey there. The way I keep track of it is:
- If there is a twist in the pose resulting in an "S" curve, the overlap will follow that "S" flow on either side. If ever you find yourself going against that "S" flow with your overlaps, instead of going along *with* it, it's probably incorrect.
- For most other situations, the mass closest to the camera/viewer will take the overlap.
- For situations where it isn't clear which mass is closest to the viewer I would say the pose should be pushed more so that this doesn't happen, even just a little -- otherwise this is a pretty flat pose and I would think this means there wouldn't be an overlap.
I hope that helps.

These are the last 15 in a set of 100 — took the 85 before to even get to this point, but I think I’m finally getting it.
Really tried to push the poses to their extremes and get a good spread of tilts, twists, leans and combinations. If I’m honest, I think I may have pushed some of them to unnatural degrees the body would never bend to.
I also found that in order for me to grasp/track what the surfaces were doing I had to draw through and make the spherical axes since the standard bean alone didn’t seem to give that info. I think this is a problem solved by the Robo-bean’s planes — this is why I have one in the set — but I’m not on those lessons yet.
Looking for ways I can improve, please critique!
