I watched the trial lesson and drew along using my drawing tablet. It is very fun! I love shading!

Hey Lynx! I think that pose exaggeration is always a great exercise, however, I think that you are maybe lacking on something essential. When we exaggerate we do it with a purpose, what is it that you want to reinforce: is it the attitude? maybe the action of the scene? Thinking in this terms will help you achieve a more believable exaggeration imo.
Also, be careful with the balance of the figures. The left figure seems like she's about to fall down. Try to always imagine the character in a sepecific situation, that will help.
Other than that, pretty good job with your mannequins. Proportions work pretty well!
I hope this was helpful

Thank you for your advice! I would love to draw figures in dynamic poses doing certain stuff, but I am not so comfortable with gestures yet. Drawing interesting and meaningful scenes will be my next stage!

Figure drawing exaggeration3yr
I practiced exaggeration. Do they look convincing? I feel the chest/shoulder area of the figure on the far right is a bit off. Please help!

It is such a good activity! Now I feel I can invent poses without copying references. Please let me know if I've made structural mistakes. The shoulder area still confuses me.
