Ok, here's my sketches after two weeks of everyday practice... I tried to do each pose multiple times until I'm either at least somewhat satisfied with the result, or tired of the pose. I'm starting to doubt my decision to do it digitally. I keep ctrl+z'ing my strokes and I'm afraid I'm learning to brute force good curves instead of thinking how to actually put them right. Plus it takes time, that's, I think, why these 2 min sketches look more like those from the 30 sec examples. Do you think this is the case? Any other critique is highly welcomed by the way. I put red checkmarks beside the ones that I like the most (or rather hate the least), so that you could tell me if I focus on wrong things.
I think these are great! If you continue doing digital I would recommend not erasing or “ctrl z”. This way you can look at the drawing, analyze the lines, and repeat. And that way you can visually see the improvements overtime

Congrats on your first assignment post Dante! Looks good and make sure to keep an eye out on the angles of the thirds. For example looking at 7 and 9 we see the angles of the thirds are not parallel like we need them to be. The lines of the thirds should be parallel to one another... at least in these exercises (they will vary later for things like facial expressions). For this concept though it's important to get the thirds equal in distance and parallel to one another. Good work on this exercise and I'm looking forward to seeing more!
Nicely done, Dante. You seemed to get better as you practiced these. Just looking at the last ones, I think on #31 the head looks to squat. Maybe the ellipse on the side of the head is too small, which makes the nose line and jawline too high. It doesn't look like a persistent issue, but it's something to keep in mind.
