I tried drawing some mannequins I decided to start with simple standing poses in order to understand the forms and proportions any advice on what I could do better
@maria_felicio
Hi! The first thing that stands out to me is the small size of the head comparing to the body in both drawings. I think you need to work on proportions in general. Also by looking at these I think you would benefit from using sheets of paper instead of a sketchbook and most importantly bigger sheets of paper if that's an A4, if you can of course. I'm saying this because I used to do the same and I think I improved a lot by drawing with more space. But otherwise good job! :)

Hi I just started up yesterday and did some drawings with the examples, the image with the star were all 2 minute sketches, the rest were untimed, I'm really happy with how some of these came out but would like some feedback! Looking at some of the other assignments and their feedback I think maybe I'm trying to run before I walk by trying to get the shapes this early on, I might try to just focus more on doing more loose stuff to get the gesture better, I'll try doing some 30 second ones since that should force me to simplify a lot more
@maria_felicio
Hi! I'm no expert yet but I think I can see one of your problems. I think you are following the contour too much, specially on the legs. It looks like you are actually copying the shape of the legs instead of making paralell lines to show the gesture. Watch Stan's videos and notice how he draws them. But besides that I think they're good! Just keep trying I'm sure it will get better.
