I've been working steadily to produce clean results with as few strokes as possible per Marshall and Stan. The main objective for me is producing clean lines by using fluidity to create a sense of motion/flow.
These results were generated from using a combination of stroke techniques (wrist + elbow + shoulder) while relaxing my shoulder and maintaining a steady inhale/exhale cadence. I'll have to start anew once I start addressing twisting and foreshortening because I thought they are the more challenging perspectives for me.

Hello Maldives, I think you are off to a good start! I agree with Bradwynn about the overlapping in your examples, its hard to identify where the torso and hips are. But I don't necessarily think you should be focusing on line until the very end where you have practiced and practiced and have a good grip on the gestures. I would try exaggerating the poses even more from what you have shown. In the second drawing I can see that it could be exaggerated a lot more. I wouldn't worry about how many lines you can slim the drawing down too, I would just be wild and worry more about capturing the gesture! I thought the example of how Disney would make a flour sack have life and gesture was great. Think how much more with the human body! Worry about capturing the life in your drawings! Hope this helps!

I apologize for the bad lighting! These are my first attempts at the bean method. You can see I started out stiff on the Tilt portion, but then loosened up. These were done in step with the video so they are a little messy in line quality. I struggled with the twisting. Do my drawings exemplify the previous lesson on gesture? Or did I fail to show it? Let me know your thoughts! Thank you!
