Some 45 second beans.

Some one-minute gestures- in hindsight, it's sort of an awkward length of time for this.

I like the simplification you are using for both, there is a nice connection between lines that brings flow to the entire figure for a lot of these. I would recommend for your next practice session to push yourself to exaggerate, as I see a tendency towards timidness in energy. I think especially that the 30 second gesture practice is a good opportunity to focus on the essential lines and assess whether they are dynamic enough or can be pushed even further--whether they can be curved, tilted, or even straightened up more--and which can then be applied to longer poses.

For me the jump from the "robo bean" to the "mannquinization" is a big one. It would have helped to have additional lessons in between to practice the shapes for the different body parts. It would also have helped if Stan would explain what he is doing during the session. I only started with this chapter. Maybe it works out in the end.
I feel like there's a bit of a leap between how he presents mannequization in the lesson (putting together a bunch of simple forms like boxes, cylinders) to the way that he actually does them in these examples, which seems to me like just drawing out a very slightly simplified organic 3d form with extra wrapping lines. I guess it just requires existing strong understanding of prior concepts like gesture and landmarks.
But yeah I'm totally with you- I have basically no clue how to do any of this beyond the torso and the skull haha. I'll probably just do a ton of gesture practice and hope that helps, or maybe look at the anatomy course.
