I chose a stapler for this exercise. The back and front were more complex than i'd anticipated.

I know what you mean. I chose an eraser cause I thought it was going to be simple, only to discover it had more complexity than I thought. You did a great job on the stapler, super clean lines.

I can't put my finger on why but it looks so charming, it has a good silly vibe to it

I really struggled with this. I'm finding a conflict between lines that flow into each other, without symmetry and the desire to copy what i see and create fully formed limbs. Sometimes i think i'm just arbitrarily leaving out lines and i don't have a good sense of when i should or shouldn't. It leaves me feeling like some of the figures have less structure. In particular the placement of the spine (neck, back, pelvis) doesn't seem to fit within my design at all, and i seem to be drawing around it, rather than it playing a role in defining the body.
Idk if it's apocryphal, but there's a story of how Picasso drew a series of pictures of a bull - first fully detailed and lifelike, but then increasingly abstract until he only had a simple line drawing left. Essentially he kept removing details until there was nothing left to remove that wouldn't sacrifice the essence of the animal. Maybe pick 3 of your favorite poses and do something similar with the goal of finding the most important lines. After doing this a few times, maybe you'll have a more intuitive sense of which lines should and shouldn't (or rather can and cannot) be left out to communicate the gesture. Good luck!

I went for a more ambitious font which created some interesting challenges when extruding the curves. It's not always obvious when a line is necessary to sell the illusion.

Reminds me of graffiti. It’s cool!

Really enjoyed this. I've always struggled to understand gesture so this course is really welcomed. Looking forward to how we build from here.
