added a new topic3d
So I am not very experienced with art. I am currently doing the figure drawing fundamentals course. I would really love to do some paintings of portraits or characters (e.g. like samdoesarts). I really don't have time to commit to a project and do the course at the same time. The course will probably benefit me in the long run but I want to do something else aside from course work. I am not very confident in my abilities and I kinda expect a perfect drawing after seeing the stuff on instagram. I know it is not realistic.
Is there any beginner friendly personal projects I could do? I personally like Ink, portraits and figures/characters. Big fan of 2d animation as well
Would appreciate any advice. Have a good one and thanks for reading

Here are some beans I did. I got one question regarding tilt:
When you got someone in profile and there is pinching happening, how do you indicate that. I usually draw the pelvis over the ribcage or the other way around but what do I do, if the ribcage and the pelvis are on the same level or the same distance away from you?
Would appreciate some feedback

Starting to dabble with 2min gestures.
I approach these as the 30s ones and then I try to add the "forms". I have a feeling that my 2 minute gestures are more stiff and look generally bad but I don't know what the cause of it is. I assume mileage is one thing.
Btw I did more. Just wanted to share a small smaple.
If anyone could give me some tips on how to approach 2min gestures, I would appreciate it

I think I am getting the idea of the 30s poses. It takes me about 35 seconds each pose. I think my standing poses are pretty decent.
I do struggle with other positions or angles because I cannot use the template Stan gave us in the video. I would appreciate if someone could demonstrate me 30s gestures for the two images I attached below (I even censored them for the kids). Would really help me because I have no idea how to approach it.
If you have any feedback regarding my 35s gestures, I'd appreciate it. I do struggle to stay clean with my lines and sometimes finding the rhythms of the legs, especially when there is overlap in the limbs

Back to making drawing a habit again. I have attached 5 sample 30s (in reality it takes me 1 min) gestures with the corresponding reference. I am not really content with them because I feel that I approach the poses the same way every time. Would appreciate some feedback.
Some things that bother me:
- I approach the rhythm for the legs the same way every time
- When I do the legs the only thing that looks "good" is when I use the rhythm of the outer leg and not the inner one if that makes sense (See 4 for this one)
- When I have time left after doing my stickfigures I don't really know what to add. I usually want to add some kind of mass like torso or pelvis but I don't really know how to do it
Am I ready for 2min poses or should I stick to these until I can do them in 30s?

level 2: box torsos from observation
I tried adding some overlap lines on some of these to better show the bend/twist, but I'm not sure if I added them correctly.

Level 1- got some questions
1- I tried to create male and female trosos and I really hard a hard time. If I understand correctly, you bloat the hips for women and the shoulders for men to put it simply. Does 1 look like a female torso?
2- I tried a male torso bending forward. How would I do this. the way I did it looks wrong
3- How do I twist the torso correctly? I sometimes do it correctly by chance but I have to try 20 times. How do I know which way to draw the S-curve? How do I have to place the shoulder plane to hip plane to create overlapping?
Feedback would be appreciated

Here are my level 1 torso boxes. Hopefully I can get the level 2 drawings done in the next day or two.

I found it really hard to stay in perspective with my boxes. And not to go in the wrong direction while imagining the twisting of the box. As well as seeing and interpreting the planes of the torso. Often, I was not sure if I even interpreted the planes correctly or if I saw the box from below or down.

Attached are my attempts at level 2. I did the assignment digitally this time - I had to try each pose multiple times and it was easier to erase this way.
I think I got them roughly correct. In number 2 I am not sure if we see the bottom plane. I also think something is wrong with number 10, but I am not sure how to adjust it.
