My Attempt at your first Robobean, with notes.

Good first try. I like the fact that you are choosing dynamic poses. Dynamic poses are much harder to draw, but they make you a better artist. For example, your first pose, by D.A. MJRanum: 308 Love #14, is highly foreshortened because Marcus is taking the picture from just outside the model's right foot. Notice how the model's body parts grow as they get closer to the ground. Your RoboBean does not show how far back the model is leaning. It also straightens out the pelvic bucket too much. I'll give this a try, or two, or more to make a RoboBean that shows what I'm observing. Look for that later on today or tomorrow. This is a challenging pose because of its angles, but even more so because the model is wearing all black and it is difficult to "see" the landmarks.

Hi @Dionizio Lopes, nice studies! Pretty good gesture and construction. My favorite is #3; I really like the clean lines.
- The perspective of the boxes look good for the most part, but in a few instances the convergence is off. This is especially clear in #3, where the bottom edge of the ribcage box isn't converging together with the top edges. This could be intentional of course, maybe you chose to bend the box with the gesture, which is something I think Stan does in his demonstrations. But if it wasn't, which is my guess, I would highly recommend rereading this critique I gave you https://www.proko.com/s/A6st and practice more boxes.
If you decide this is a good idea, feel free to tag me when you post your box drawings :)
- In some of these I might have changed the orientation of the boxes. See paintovers.
- I would recommend paying a little more attention to the proportion of the boxes, to better represent the figure you're drawing.
- I appreciate that you've placed the reference and drawing next to eachother. To make the images clearer, I think it would help to not cut out the images around the silhouette of the subject, since the sharp cut-out competes for attention. Rather cut out a rectangle of the image.
- Along side drawing from reference, I highly recommend practicing drawing the robo bean from imagination. Its a challenge :) but It will make you even more familiar with its forms, functions and proportions.
Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

Hi @Dionizio Lopes, nice drawings! My favorite is the first one; very clean and good gesture and structure!
- I think I would recommend doing a few where you don't indicate all the muscles, and only the landmarks. With all the muscles included, I find it a bit hard to see what landmarks you've spotted. You can think of it as if you're doing a gesture quicksketch, then marking out as many of the landmark points as you can (there is a diagram under LESSON NOTES, that you can refer to.)
Hope this helps :)

I agree with @nothanks, I think you did a great job simplifying the animals into simple forms! And you managed to maintain a sense of gesture (the leopard is a great example).
- In the box in the top left corner (image 1), the convergence doesn't seem to be going the right way (assuming that you were going for a box with right angles). The box's left side is facing us, which means that it's closer to us and the lines from it should converge into the distance. But you have the opposite. I noticed this happening here and there throughout the animal drawings, so it might be worth filling another page with boxes to get it down.
If you want a more thorough explanation on how to get the convergence right, this reply-thread might help https://www.proko.com/s/3uw2.
Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
I think you did a fantastic job turning everything into boxes, I really like the bee. My only criticism is to watch the proportions/poses. They're pretty far off from the photographs in some. For example, if you look at the kitten photograph its paws are nearly touching, but in your drawing there is a very large gap between.

Hello , here are some of my gesture drawing pratice , any constructive comments would be very appreciated
These are looking great! I would recommend taking your pictures in better light so they are easier to see.
Keep up with the practice you are doing great.
I think you did a nice job. For your last image, the legs for the bottom drawings look differently size, which can disrupt the gesture. So keep proportions in mind for next time. Good luck with your studies!

Hello , here are some of my beam drawing pratice , any constructive comments would be very appreciated
I like how well you are able to read the twisting motion, however i would suggest you use a darker graphite so we can see better what you're drawing to give you better feedback. (or darken the lines in photoshop)

These look great for the most part. Sometimes you seem to take the form of the ribcage too small, like the second one on the second page. Always remember that the top oval includes the area of the ribcage as well as some of the oblique. It will be quite big even when foreshortened.
