Hey Olha, looks good! One thing that's not always but almost always true: the lightest darks and darker than the darkest lights. Look at your picture with this rule of thumb in mind. Also: the edge work is already pretty solid, but I think some of the edges should be a little sharper If I remember the photograph correctly. Good luck!

I would some help on the mannequin I usually just draw them using boxes and cylinder but can't grasp my head around seeing the shapes you do should I stick to my own way or draw mannequins you're way and if so how?
Hello Josh, first of all: welcome. I would suggest you take the time and use at least some punctuation for your question. Makes it a lot easier for us here to help you. With mannequins I would suggest trying many different versions and doing at least 100 of them each, probably more. Toggle them on a weekly basis for fun. You will learn that in time, the mannekin will fade into the background and become intuitive for you and you may possibly develop your very own system, based on your own preferences. But you will never know if you don't them a fair shake.

Hey, I've studied gesture this month, here is some of the mannequins I did today, with a recipe I feel comfortable with, I set the limit at 10 min for each of them, please let me know what you think of them, I find myself that I have a hard time manage my form proportions but It is better than at the beginning so I think it'll get better over time! I often feel guilty on not getting the exact pose and the exact tilt of each member and all, and that even if my goal is just to capture the essence of the pose and the overall proportion. Is it normal? Is there a good tips or exercises to free my mind of the guilt? Please feel free to give your opinion, just a motivation message or a full critics, every constructive critic helps me grow as a draftsman :)
Some of these are already pretty good. Your heads tend to get a little too small sometimes. If you have 10 minutes for each of them, that's plenty of time to correct those. Good luck!

Hello together. Here are some of my drawings since I have started the portrait course. Critiques would be great. Thank you in advance. Have a great day 😉✏️
Your lines are already clear and confident. What is lacking is proportions and measurements. Some of the faces look a little wonky, go the extra mile and check proportions again if necessary. Try "triangulation", meaning, checking proportions always in relation between three points of measurement, not just two. Good luck.

This is my first attempt at the figures from the videos. I find the knees most confusing and the constructions lines get lost in areas with overlapping forms. Any comments or suggestions on what I should pay more attention to?
That's a good start! I would suggest you ghost your lines (make the motion with the pencil without touching the paper) before laying them down in a single stroke. At the moment, they lack confidence.
