This was a fun project. Any critique is welcome! Any feedback for the figure in the bottom left? The pose feels awkward to me, as if it was falling.

Hi folks! Been spending several weeks to really master the bean before moving further; after a dozen-plus pages of similar-looking beans I think I need an outside perspective to keep from getting stuck making the same mistakes. Most beans I did working very lightly with a 0.9 mechanical pencil, but below are my first beans with charcoal on newsprint--they turned out a little looser and less structurally solid, but I think they're also more revealing of my weak points. They're referenced off of Proko's "Mallory" photoset. Where should I be focusing my energy most? I'm struggling to keep the gesture of the bean and human proportion in mind at the same time (most of my beans end up too elongated), or to indicate the roundness of the bean without turning into a mushy peanut. Any critique is welcomed, thanks community!

Oh man, so excited for this chunk to finally begin!
