Thank you so much, it was a great challenge during which I learned a lot. And the work of the other participants really encouraged me. Congratulations to all the winners and all the participants in general! Well done!
Maryna Tkachenko
Quick gestures. 1 to 2 minutes.  I didn't want to start working on this theme until I watched the stream, but it was when I was about to go to bed, so I made drawings the next day after I finished watching the stream.
Maryna Tkachenko
Also made a composition of four 20 minutes poses, and added a rough background. Thank you so much for the challenge, I had a lot of fun!
@leion
A batch of 2-3 minute sketches. There's still too much detail and I'm not pushing the poses as much as I'd hoped.
Maryna Tkachenko
I like your style!
Maryna Tkachenko
1.5 minute poses. I also tried drawing gestures from shapes.
Maryna Tkachenko
Speaking of which, my gesture drawings have gotten much better since I started participating in the 12 days challenge. This is what they looked like before
Maryna Tkachenko
I did a 20-minute drawings in which I did the structure with a coarse brush, then refined only the visible points with a finer brush.
Maryna Tkachenko
Did one quick color sketch (30 minutes). 
Maryna Tkachenko
I did a quick five minute sketches. And did a more detailed thirty minute one, but I didn't really like how it turned out. 
Maryna Tkachenko
Made two sketches with armor. The first one took 30 minutes to draw the pose better, the second one I managed in 20.
Maryna Tkachenko
I did an analysis of this photo. I drew the base first, then I drew the skeleton and muscles on top. I tried to spend about 30 minutes on each drawing. 
Maryna Tkachenko
I drew all 25 photo references that were provided. I tried to spend 5-10 minutes on each sketch. As soon as I saw the portrait of the second man, after I drew the first, I realized that they should be yelling at each other :D  They were even originally turned correctly to look at each other :)
Patrick Bosworth
These are wonderful! I love the simplification and shape design in your portraits, and the gestures are very expressive! Well done!
