Here is my assignment for this lesson.
I think those are great! I struggle to get such flow to my own drawings. Good job!
Very good! Exactly how gesture drawings should be. Very nice flow, not too much detail / following the contour.

Hi @Luan Chan, looking good!
- I have a feeling some of these are a little "tame". There might be more room for gesture and strong stretches and compressions.
- You might want to draw through the boxes, especially in tricky positions, to get better contoll over space. In the 2nd row, drawing to the right, the ribcage box might be a bit deep, the way the edges are converging.
- If you still have the reference, I would retry the robo bean to the left in the 2nd row. The squishy part between the boxes feels slightly uncontrolled, as if you've pasted details seen on the reference on top of the bean, instead of constructing something that interacts with the been in the space it exists in. It helps to simplify. I like to think of the soft part as the rubber thing on a skateboard truck; intact form, but with flexibility.
Hope this helps :)

Hi @Luan Chan, really nice drawings. Good anatomy and well shaded!
- In the left one you might want to cast some light on the top plane of the left lower lip. See paintover for more details.
- I've looked through all your posts, and you're really good at shading! If you're looking for a next thing to study, I would recommend perspective.
Judging from your loomis heads and shaded drawings, you seem to know form quite well, but I think the feeling of form in your drawings would be even better if you had some extra perspective knowledge behind you. In the drawing to the left, above, it feels like the centerline should be a bit more to the left. I notice similar things in your head drawings; the center line would have to be moved a little bit away from us. That can be fixed with some simple perspective techniques.
If you want some tips on how to study perspective, let me know :) It would help to know how much experience you have with perspective; if you''ve already practiced drawing boxes and cylinders for example.
To get in control of the centerline of the face, and the placement of the features, all you need to know is how to draw a rectangle in perspective, how to find the center, and how to transfer the features to the other side.
Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
