Overall solid!. The spinal twist feels just right - not too much, not too little. Good cross contours too. Some muscles are feeling a bit out of proportion, notably the arm to the right - wrist is real thick, upper arm, deltoid a bit too arched. Remember to find the source of the curves - every curve of muscle will terminate or source to some point along the body. Find those source points (often landmarks but sometimes just a vector or notable curve) and use them to construct the musculature.

Two things I'm noticing. First, the drawing is pretty contour-heavy. Remember your 30sec gesture, and use that as a start point - get the feeling of the pose across first before diving into the specifics. Second, you've got the points in their generally correct location but they feel a bit arbitrary. Everything in the body connects to itself - if you look hard enough, each of those points will either be along a curve or at the end of one. Try going through the video here and copying Stan verbatim to understand how he rationalizes the location of each landmark, then move on to applying what you learned to another model pose. On the positive, your proportions are looking solid and that's certainly a finecky thing to get down!

Good take on Stan's! If you're still doing landmark exercises, try a different model pose now so we can see how you applied the landmarks you learned (that's the next step for me 8L )

nice - seems like a good process!

Hi @Dink I think there´s a lot of good stuff going on in these. I like the energy, and I can tell that you´re timing youself, doing whatever you can to capture the pose in those 30 seconds. Great! - My main advice for you is do aim for simplicitiy and try to connect things as much as possible; watch out for unnecessary details that don´t do much for the gesture. I like to repeat to myself "how can I capture this pose with as few lines as possible?" My suggestion for you is to try this challenge: Do 30 second poses, only using 5 or fewer lines (CSI) + head. It will help you see the big picture and avoid details. - Avoid searching for one line with multiple lines. Let the first line you put down be the one you use. Things will turn out crappy in the beginning XD, but in the end you´ll get cleaner drawings and you´ll be more efficient. Being able to execute accurate long fluid lines with your shoulder helps a lot. If you haven´t already I recommend watching this video and applying what it teaches https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-hold-and-control-your-pencil/assignments I hope this helps, and I´m looking forward to see more of your gesture drawings :)
