I think you succeeded nr. 1, 2 and 3 but what’s a little problem in 4 (the curves don’t seem quite present) is your problem in nr.5 where I don’t see the curves and therefor yourangle is off. ( hope my answer is clear enough as this isn’t my language)

Hello Anko, your studies are good, but I would advise you not to focus only on cylindrical shapes, because in bodies there are often rigid shapes that are more effectively represented by boxes. Usually when I draw animals, after identifying the curve of the spine, I identify and draw a prism for the shoulders and a box/cune for the pelvis, as these are often very characteristic shapes depending on the species, then an ovoid shape for the ribcage and the head; these are the primary shapes that give me the location in space and the general pose. Legs and arms connect to pelvis and shoulders respectively. Start with a gesture and then assess the shape: many herbivores have legs that are almost completely devoid of fat and with muscles evident only in the thigh area, so what you often see is simply bone and tendons, more like splints or wedges than cylinders. As for the heads, it is also quite rare to be able to simplify them into cylinders and cones: the fox's head, for example, is very angular. I hope I have been of help :)

I would say study boxes more drawabox is a YouTube channel that can really help with improving structure I would suggest using more clear and solid shapes as the monkey for example feels more like you put Contor lines around the arms and legs rather then soild shapes Overall your doing great keep it up hope this helped

Great practice. That fox is adorable :) Learning to use boxes more in your construction drawings can help define plane changes better and provide more structure for your final drawings, so I'd encourage you to try it out more even if it's really tough at first. For example, the fox's head could be done with a cube for the base and a rectangle for the muzzle, and I often find prisms work better to capture the shape of (animal) ears than flat triangles.

I think you've got the gist of it; once you become more comfortable, try to loosen up your hand and your lines (you want loose, confident strokes that are intentional); I think that's why you're feeling that yours look somehow different from Proko's. For the actual goal of the exercise, however, it seems you're establishing a solid foundation (a couple may be a little long, as someone else said, but you're still capturing the motion correctly).

They read real well. Some may seem a little long but that is fine because the idea is to exaggerate the motion so sometimes stretching the pose in the bean helps. The line looks good and I would save the darker line for the pinch from a lean or overlap from a twist. I'd also try the twist assignment too because the twist is very useful in making more dynamic figure drawings. Keep making those beans! Looking good!

In 30sec poses try to draw the main idea of the pose. And try to focus on force, flow and rhythmic line's In 2min poses try to focus on structure... And then inject gesture in it

on your 30sec's, i would try to incorporate some more S curves. ie @2's back
