Here are some of my mannequinization studies. I drew the same poses Stan did, before watching each pose on his videos. I tried to apply every simplification he presented, for the head, torso, members, muscles, etc. I'm happy with the results, but would really appreciate some critiques

Here are some of my robo beans. Would really like some feedback on these

Here are some back and front focused landmarks exercises I did. They were done only from observation and no tracing. Here I've put each reference image along with the corresponding drawing for the sake of comparison. Any critiques or observations are really welcome!
On your first image, the red mark you put on her left knee area is not a boney landmark, its actually a bundle of tendons connected to that area (see the image i attached). Your sacrum, clavicle and sternum landmarks look good, but im not sure about the others. I hope this helps though

My first attempt with landmarks. The first photo shows the model, the second the identified landmarks, the third shows the gesture drawing with landmarks, and finally the muscle construction. All the drawing phases were done with observation, not tracing.
The back is really tricky, and I don't know if I identified the landmarks correctly. Any critiques are welcome

Here's my finished assignment, the first time doing this exercise. Some cubes and cylinders from imagination and observation, and also some animal drawings focused on structure simplification. Would really appreciate some critiques and feedback
Hi! Awesome studies these look pretty solid! One thing I noticed about the boxes, is that you have a bit of an “impossible box” thing going on ( the lines are too parallel, they lack tapering). As the lines get further away from us the viewer, they will converge and taper. So that's something to keep in mind!^^

Here are some of my beans, and also a few poses on which I used the bean as a starting point. I feel kinda happy with them, but I think I could have exaggerated more. Any feedbacks and critiques are welcome.

Some of the 2 min poses I did today.
This is my first attempt on drawing 2min poses in a long while. After some weeks doing only 30 sec poses, it felt really different doing longer ones, in a good way.
With this extra time I felt that I could focus even more on the movement and the connection between lines, making more conscious decisions compared with the 30 sec poses.
I had a really good time drawing these and will keep on practicing. Any critiques are more than welcome!
It looks like setting up you reference in this manor could take a long time. I would suggest a great windows program called image glass. You can have a folder of images and run a randomized slideshow of all the images and just draw from there. Another program is irfanview which can run slideshows at specific intervals. There are also some websites that have free timed sessions you can draw from. Hope that helps!
Okay, now I'm looking at this one, and I wanna give you another piece of critique. You're doing an eeeeexcellent job of simplifying the body to only the curves and lines that matter most. It's arguably the most crucial skill for us figure artists and you should continue cultivating it and having fun with it. Keep up the good work yo~

Here are some 30sec practice I did today, when I'm starting the course. I would really appreciate some feedback on them.
This is not my first time approaching figure drawing. In the past few weeks I have been reading some books about it, watching videos, and practicing with hundreds of 30 sec poses.
The only issue is that I don't know if my attempts can indeed represent movement well enough, so I started the course for knowledge and critiques
From the looks of this submission, it looks like you're choosing your lines very carefully which is good when it comes to analytical exercise drawing like the kind of gesture we do here. If you feel like you're not representing the visual movement well enough, remember the #1 rule... Exaggeration~! I know you must feel like you've heard it a million times by now and me too, Lucas LOL. But remember that this isn't necessarily 'REAL' pose drawing yet, this is an 'exercise'. Your gesture poses don't HAVE to be physically possible or look comfortable to actually pose in. Observe carefully for what the person is 'DOING (the activity or intention that gave RISE to the pose is what we're drawing, not truly the pose itself, which is why we can exaggerate)' and exaggerate the activity. If it's a guy looking down at his phone on a sidewalk, space the other hand out really far and bring his face in even closer to the phone. Like REEEALLLY look at that phone, almost cartoonishly lol. This is only an exercise, so when it's time for me to 'actually' draw a guy looking at his phone, I can tone down the intensity a little. You kinda see what I mean? I'm trying to make you feel more comfortable with the motivation behind exaggeration in the first place, make you feel more free to do so. Then you'll feel like you're Really directing the viewer's eye with your pose's movement.
I think you're capturing the motion - especially on the 2nd and 6th one. I think these are really good for 30 second poses and you're good to progress to your next studies.
