nice work!
Pull, stretch, compress, 'squash', squeeze,...
Expression is Animation really.

Gesture, rhythm, flow,...
It goes by many names
It's importance is actually stressed during very limited time durations
30secs to 1min
I noticed that I felt relaxed when I had more time like 3mins and 5mins
I studied Mike Mattesi's drawings and took up a few valuable lessons so I decided to practice them immediately.
>>Line weight and variation
>>Use of the most descriptive simple form
>>The way he labels his drawings with their time durations and circles them 😂

Ballpoint pen, 20mins each.
Perspective is one of the basic things here (Contour lines help to place the forms in space)
Then understanding of form, especially planes✍️
Through study I discovered that Armour plates are basically transformation of planes.
It's also interesting how there are no folds due to the hardness of the material

10 mins timer for each.
I had a lot of trouble with the one I'm pointing at (top left was 4th attempt). Not sure what's the main issue, I think the length/perspective of the palm facing up?? Did I overly shorten it?

Asked for help
Just starting out on the anatomy course so I'm not familiar with all the muscles - took around 30 mins to complete. I'm not sure what went wrong with the angle/proportion - should I have started with an outline or a gesture line first?
Overall, I noticed the whole gesture should be bent over further/lower. Might try the same image again.
Nice try @Alyssa .
>>Learn to recognize the biggest forms first ; In this case: head, rib cage/torso and pelvic region
>>Try to capture these forms in their simplest form/shape
>>Then study their angles with respect to each other
>>Then join the angles between them with a long connecting line: this is the rhythm/gesture line
>>In the case of figure drawing, think of balance(counter balance): balancing of these big forms (the legs and hands come in here most times)
>>Then look for the next big forms and start developing(lay-in /sketching/ measuring)them
The truth is...
It doesn't work out in the order above😮💨
It's more of iteration; repeated checking and cross-checking, using all of your head and hand,
Patience, practice upon practice
and Access to good materials (Good for you, you're already in the proko community😎)
Sorry for the long writing🥲
Hope this helps

Both in aesthetics and function, the human machine is indeed beautiful.
About 45mins for each.
About 35mins rather.
I really enjoyed the studies and I've come to enjoy doing studies than detailed finished works.

A little late😮💨
I spent 40mins on each and focused more than 80% of time on clothing and weapons.
It is interesting to see that the attention to the weapons and cloths makes it definitely come across as warriors.

Head Layins.
Nothing packs more of all the drawing concepts (line, plane, gesture/expression, mass,...) like the head.

The more I get involved in these daily challenges, the more I discover my weak points and inclinations.
I appreciate the daily push.

nice work!
Hey Love the sketches you got a nice flow with the core shadows ! But a friendly reminded to present your pictures better. make sure they are rotated the correct way.
