Hey there, artists! I worked on some mannequins this week and I thought I'd share! For clarity, #1 is from way back when I thought this exercise was gonna be about gesture. Then on #2 you can see things started to change, and then it was just mannequin (attempts) from #3 onwards. My mannequins are pretty simple for now, but at least I've managed to convey a real sense of movement and depth, or so I believe. :D What do you think? If you could offer some critiques or guidelines for improvement, I'd be very helpful!

when drawing gesture if I try and concentrate on smooth confident lines in the Proko style I feel like I can’t ever capture the movement properly and everything is too stiff, but if I kinda scribble more and let my hand feel more sloppy and totally stop worrying about scale and the human shape (sort of like Nicolaides-ish) I feel like I nail it. my question is is this style of drawing gestures less valid? It’s definitely less neat and tidy!
