Challenging myself to use fewer lines, and also line weight variation to achieve the gesture.
For number two, I would really like to be able to describe the engagement of core muscles in this pose. Anyone have good ideas of how to do so in a gesture ?
(I started this course I few months ago, got a bit lost in the later stages; had to go outside a bit for inspiration/teaching, and now feel ready to reboot. When it comes to gesture I found Michael Hampton’s explanations, as well as Mike Matessi’s interviews by Proko to be really useful.)

I made a squirrel and a fox. I simply wanted to be sure that I'm on the good path before going further into this exercise. Thank you!

Hi all,

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

If you want to draw realistically, then yes you do need to learn anatomy quite intimately.
You don’t “need” anatomy to create convincing humans though. All you need are shapes that look like convincing 3d forms, and you need to draw them as though they move purposefully and naturally. (Think good flour bag animation test)
You can draw “humans” with varying levels of complexity and varying degrees of stylization; therefore, all you need are the forms that YOU understand and that YOU can create. You just have to make sure that you actually fully understand the form. You don’t start learning chess by simply copying GM”s games. You learn it by picking an opening as a starting point to build concepts from.
If you can only imagine (manipulate/see in your mind’s eye) AND draw a cylinder, manipulate the cylinder to be closer to the anatomical form. Don’t be too worried of what a bicep actually looks like: be only worried about what YOU imagine to be a bicep.
TLDR; you learn only the anatomy that you can use. You never finish learning anatomy, so you kind of never start. Different parts of the body will appear to you when you can find a way to use them.

Some more Mannequins from the past week, I think its going well but some feedback would be great. some of them are wonky... I thought I would try to fix them but then it just felt overworked and worse, so here they are.
