Aspiring Artist. Still developing confidence in the idea that I can draw at all but I am getting there. :) I'll edit this later.

Asked for help
Hello, I'm looking for some feedback. There are a couple things I see. My drawing represents this man to be a bit shorter. mostly happening in the limbs. But what I'm really wondering about is the mannequinization. What are your thoughts? As you can see I wrote myself a note to simplify. I was struggling with that. I've been practicing this for a week and I'm wondering if I should move on. I've heard Stan say on the podcast to spend a week or 2 max on each lesson because the next lesson may help you. Should I move on and come back later?

If you've been going at it for a week then probably. You don't want frustration to throw up a mental block against you practicing. Try a new lesson/do a bit of drawing things you know you tend to be happy with once you're done. Give yourself a feeling of progression/achievement with other stuff for a bit if you feel stuck.
I like what you've done so far. I hope you keep going. :)

Assignment 3 without having watched the video. The shading… still don’t know how.

Here are some 30sec practice I did today, when I'm starting the course. I would really appreciate some feedback on them.
This is not my first time approaching figure drawing. In the past few weeks I have been reading some books about it, watching videos, and practicing with hundreds of 30 sec poses.
The only issue is that I don't know if they can indeed represent movement well enough, so I started the course for knowledge and critics
What kind of pencil is best to use for this course?
Try lots. Experiment and figure out what seems to work best as you'll be using different types on different paper for different effects from what I've seen.

Is it worth getting hold of a bendy artists manequin or is it best to draw from imagination? Thanks
From what I've seen, it is, yes.
Do both for good development. I rely too much on references and I need to develop more skills for drawing without relying on them but references are still good. So I'd say do both.
