Hi, this is an update of today’s drawings because I did more! This keeps happening lol😅 I’ve been trying to be more loose with these :) would love some feedback! Thanks 😊

wow, these look great ! I see you beginning to simplify compared to the previous drawing.
really appreciating the calves and shins.
I don't necessarily have an answer for this question, but for the more dynamic ones I love how the weight of the person is very apparent. I wonder what can be done to make the weight-bearing more obvious in the more subtle ones (e.g, the first ones). I believe it has to do with creating tension in the weight-bearing side somehow.

This week's mannequinization exercise! 💪
There is a strange no-man's-land in between gesture and mannequinization, which my mannequins call their home.
But if they're effective (i.e., they successfully communicate volume, depth, and motion), then that's fundamentally a mission accomplished in my book. 😆
If you could offer any feedback on those, that would be neato. ❤️
I haven’t reached the ‘mannequinization’ section yet so I can’t give real critique but these look incredible and great expression :)

hellooo :) this is my second post today because I did more drawings😅 I would love to get some feedback on these :) sorry if they are hard to see some of them are overlapping a bit
thanks have a good day
Loving the movement I see in these!! I also sense you have a pretty solid intuitive understanding of anatomy, so you get extra points for that XD
As Christopher noted, the opportunity for improvement here is the line quality. You're doing "chicken scratch" lines, as they call 'em: using lots of little tiny overlapping strokes to compose a full line. The problem with those is that they will sap the energy out of your drawings, making it harder for them to look dynamic and feel alive. Maybe consider trying to draw using longer, firmer lines. The less lines, the better!
Anyways, as I said, awesome job. :3 Keep on grindin' and churning those out!
Great job on the two posts! Motivation is high I see!
The first thing about gestures is to use very fluid lines. Use your whole arm. You will always here, "Draw from the shoulder". It's not about accuracy in proportions here, get comfortable with drawings that have really bad proportions. The purpose of gesture drawing it to feel the movement of the form while trying to describe the figure with as minimal lines as possible.
Most importantly. Keep that motivation high, keep drawing, experimenting and having fun. The drawings you have now are well done they just need to embody the spirit of the gestures.
Thanks for sharing!
