Here is my painting. I feel like my rendering needs a lot of work. I mostly do concepts so I'm not used to taking things to a finished state

Honestly probably karla ortiz, i want to be a concept artist and I can’t think of many that are better than her and she’s good in multiple mediums

Here are my first attempts at the mannequin technique, I feel like i have a hard time adding the knee from certain angles . Feedback is always welcome.

here are some of the gesture studies i did, i think these are where It started to click for me. I’m just curious what else could make them more dynamic or read better?

Nice @crobinso24! Clean lines, good gesture and nice simplification!
- Try to look for s-curves in the arm. Since you're able to find the main gesture of the arms, I would try to add a little more nuance to the gesture. I usually find one s-curve for the upper arm (the deltoid muscle being the first bump) and then one s-curve for the forearm and hand. But in some cases a single c-cruve for the whole arm works best...
Gesture drawing can be done in multiple ways. I really like your simple clean gesture drawings, but I think it could be inspiring for you to watch and mimic Glenn Vilppu's and Mike Mattesi's ways of gesture drawing. They are really feeling through the poses and they ride with rhythm (back 'n' forthness) between the body parts. Your drawings show a good understanding of the big picture and I think that building on it, with more nuance and rhythm can take the drawings to the next level.
Here's some videos

Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work

I tried to follow along with the real time demo on the extreme angle Loomis lesson and obviously it didn't turn out right. I had some trouble finding the right place for the side plane also. it's my first attempt at extreme angles so it could've turned out worse.

Here are some Loomis heads I attempted, I think I understand it for the most part, at least from the profile and 3/4 view without any extreme angle. I'm doing this class to help me supplement my college classes so I think it will help alot.
Hello, I'm looking for some critique for my drawing on planes of the face, I'm pretty happy with it overall but the eye on the right side is giving me some trouble.
Any input is appreciated!
I kind of struggle with this too. I can be very hard on myself. Something that helps me when I get frustrated is looking at my old drawings to see how much progress I've made. Either that or taking a break and doing something that takes my mind off drawing even just for a little while.
Hope this helps!
Keep a sketchbook, with pages dated, documenting your progress, so you can always encourage yourself by going back in time.

Here are my attempts at gesture. I have some experience drawing gesture but I've always struggled with it. I think knowing what to simplify or leave out can confuse me at times
Hey man! Looks awesome. I'd work on getting some more contour's in there to show how the figure is moving towards and away from the viewer.
I like to think of gesture as how the eye goes through the picture and how the parts connects. Listening to and Watching Glen VIlppu really made a lot of things click in my head. Here's a video of him on YouTube -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOtVUHgJqQk
It's a little different from what Proko teaches but you might enjoy it and find it as helpful as I did.

Try to get at the core of the flow of body parts…flow of spine, arms etc
You can do this by looking for the main action line (like in this attached image). Main action line starts at the pit of the neck and S curves all the way down through the leg to the floor. It will cut through some anatomy (contours) to do this and that is required most times to get a great gesture. Finally look to make both sides of the leg forms to bend in the same flow relationship.
)) is a flowing shape vs () no flow shape. It helps to visualize the legs and arms like snakes in that they are flowing and cylindrical. Good work and I hope that helps. These get easier with daily practice. Even just 20 minutes a day you will see huge return in investment.
