added comment inMannequinization – Structure of the Human Body
Hello there! I have been drawing the mannequin for a while now but havent really gotten any critique yet, so I would love some critique so I'll work on my mistakes and move on to anatomy.

Asked for help
Hello there! I have been drawing geasture and the bean for some time now but i took 2 week hiatus because of school and I wasn't able to practice much or draw at all. Today i finally got back to it but i can see what i need to improve, but i dont think my own eyes and brain can help me much so i would really appriciate some critique on these drawings.
Have a good day everyone!

These look really nice Beni, try to keep the volume in mind, especially on bones and joints (as not bending them and rubberizing the figure), if you want to use the gesture for further development (Character design, a painting, etc.).
I hope this helps :)
how long were these drawings? The main thing I am seeing is that your lines could be cleaned up more. Confident, smooth, not messy lines are an important habit to have even in fast gesture drawings. If these are 2 min or more drawings I would focus more on slowing down and looking at the pose, thinking about proportions and analyzing the gesture. Otherwise, you have done a nice job in keeping it simple and not focusing too much on contours.
I think the head looks small in all of them and There are proportion mistakes in torso and pelvis in the top two drawings even for a gesture drawing but the drawing on the bottom left hand corner is great 😁
Honestly most of that looks really good. The lines are clean and flow nicely. Maybe try varying your line weight to better suggest which limb or form is in front of the other to suggest more dynamic form?
I wouldn’t worry about improving this so much as moving on in the curriculum. The point isn’t to perfect each step before moving on, just to get a solid handle on it.
As long as you continue to practice you’re only going to get better and you will have plenty of more opportunities to keep improving gesture.
Sorry it’s not a critique, but I want to tell you that I like your flowing nice gesture line!

I have a similar goal like you but mine is to draw and study gesture, proportions of the body, 3d shapes, anatomy, breakdowns and so on, i have kept it like this for 39 days, but school came in the way and i coulnd't do that anymore. Pretty much i haven't drawn anything for almost 2 weeks and i disliked it a lot, but now I'm back on track and back to learning.
If anything like this does come in your way like school, just try to make at least one simple drawing a day it doesn't matter what it is as long as drew something. Best of luck to you and your art journey, cant wait to see more work from you!
Ahh…yeah, school… Sometimes real life just gets in the way like that. I’m glad that you’re now back on track and learning tho! ^_^
Yeah, I’ll keep your advice in mind. I think that as long as I draw something, anything, once a day, then that means I’m improving a little bit. Eventually those little bits will pile up into something big (I hope!). Hahaha, just gotta keep working at it~~
Anyway, thanks again for your well wishes! Hope you have a good day! :D
