Hello, this is my second try at drawing gesture, hoping I got at least a little bit closer to the purpose of this lesson. I would really like some feedback please. These were not timed. I am planning to start timed sessions once the current ones pass as acceptable, so it would be really appreciated if you gave me a thumbs up as well. This is just to be safe I do not stray from the right path. It still feels like I am focusing too much on form even though I start with the gesture line. My hand itches to start filling in details and I have to keep reminding myself this is a gesture exercise. Same happens with proportions. I want to start measuring but I always lose the flow. I apologize if the quality of the pictures I have taken is not very clear, I have tried my best. The models are from quickpose and for the first couple of drawings I closed the tabs without saving the references, sorry about that as well. Same as in my previous post I am very open to any critique, even the harsh ones. Thank you very much in advance for your time. Edit: Wow, the compression killed it. https://imgur.com/a/ATluDFM

I apologize if is this is very little content to critique, but I'd really want some feedback please to make sure I'm on the right path and continue with the exercise. The first one I was trying to understand what the lesson was about, in the second I started thinking less about what I see and more about what I feel, and third one I think I got the flow. Hand is still very stiff. I'm concerned if there is anything that could potentially turn into a bad habit if I continue as of right now. And how do I fit more poses on a paper? Everytime I focus on making it smaller it just becomes the same. I start with a head, but sometimes the straightest or longest lines. I'm sorry if anything I wrote sounds pretentious. My focus is on learning and making it right so I'm very open to anything you have to say, no sugarcoating needed. Thank you very much in advance for your time.

Hello Sinix and Stan, I'm Phil. In digital art we have the transform tool, which is very useful for composition. But in traditional art, more specifically in still life drawings, I'm struggling to place multiple objects on a canvas, as they tend to go in various directions, or are too big for the sheet I'm using so I erase a lot. Do you have any tips on taking the image you see in real life, cropping it, resizing, filtering and putting it onto a canvas? How do I know where I start on a paper?

P.s Phil was taken so I had to mistype my name. This is my first ever try at a portrait after studying through planes and shapes of the head. I'm new to art and it feels like I'm lacking a lot of fundamentals, since most of my drawings at this point feel like I'm stuck in a forest without a clear way forward. I'm not sure of what to do next at this point and if I could do previous steps better.
