I agree with Rubén, but you shouldn't bother much about the proportions right now, approach it in steps. The first thing you must focus on is to represent the movement with lines, which I think you're doing well, specially with the poses with no time limit. What helped me quite a bit with foreshortened members is to use wrapping lines, as it kinda of forces your brain to place the arm or legs, for exemple, in an understanding, thoughtfull manner - if that makes sense. Although I like prokos gesture drawing, I think you could benefit from taking a look on how Michael Hampton approaches his figures, it's more beginner friendly, as he almost offers you a recipe for gesture drawing. Here are some examples of his approach: https://youtu.be/XpejM-T9YG0 His youtube lesson: https://youtu.be/sSzB3ESpfE0 I highly encourage you to take a look at it, even if you don't like, you can take something that will me sense in your head. Anyway, good job e good luck!

Hello everyone, here's my entry! I used as reference the jellysifh, the snowy pathway, the flower, the seahorse, that weird fruit which I don't know the name and those mushroom things? Anyway, I had fun drawing this. I wish I had more time to plan things out better, but it's a sketch challange, so it's ok I guess. Thanks for the opportunity! GL everyone

So, to put it short, I really can't draw with Charcoal. I've only tried Pencils, both hard and soft, even the Conté. All of them makes me shiver. The texture feels SO rough that I can't really stand it. I don't know what words to describe it better, but the feeling of it going on the paper feels way too rough. I've tried diferent types of paper. Unfortunately I can't find those news print paper in my country, but maybe the pencil feels nicer on them? I'd like to know if this is common or maybe it's just me being way too unfamiliar with the material, idk... Anyway sorry if this isn't supposed to be posted here, but I don't know where else to ask this :/
