Hi! Recently completed this assignment. Would appreciate some feedback.

Hi Kevin.
One thing I would point out is that your shapes (especially for the limbs) aren't well defined.
Think of them having to look more like a hard plastic tube (or box). Yours right now kinda looks like Play Doh when you roll it out. Sure, it's a cylinder, but it's not a very defined one.
Improving your form will also help you draw more dynamic images, and think of stuff as made out of 3d shapes!
Hope this helps!
The issue im having with this lesson is that Stan's examples change so much in terms of how he approaches mannequinization... in one he'll do all tubes, and then he'll go almost to an anatomy precision level. I wish there was more of a standard on those.
Agree but on the bright side, he giving us more approach than one. I was thinking the same like you but at one point i just go on my own lol, using what i comfort with.
Done using wax or conte crayons, honestly not sure. A bit of the perspective problems thoe...

I find it difficult because sometimes the poses seem to be exaggerated in Stan's examples, and other times they aren't. There were a few poses I paused and started again because the gesture or proportions were way off. I think I have a tendency to make the boxes too thin and too short.
I struggle with the line work looking muddy because I'm not yet used to overhand grip.
Would appreciate any other feedback please.
Thank you
I think yours look really good - i especially like the twists!
Now, the bottom part of the boxes all seem to be placed flat on the ground (with a few exceptions). I would try playing with the rotation of the bottom box a little bit more and give it some more dynamic intention.
I think they´re really good but yeah, I agree that you could simplify it a bit further, especially the faces. Not saying what you get here is bad (far from it) but if you seek simplification, you could draw the dogs´ heads as just a sphere and a cylinder!
BTW, cute dogs!

I like the big ones and would encourage you to draw big whenever you can. With tiny drawings, proportion mistakes will be less noticeable, and you won't be able to get as much feedback from your own drawings. Keep it up!

I've been more confortable drawing straight to ink, and so a lot of times my pencil studies will have flimsy, undecisive lines, because in my head, I know pencil is not permanent.
Anyways, here's a few studies. I really liked the one in brown ink - it was my third attempt at that pose. Appreciate any constructive criticism on these!
You are doing an excellent job in most of these, just avoid detailing specific features. Do more of what you did in the brown ink drawing.

Hi everyone! The drawings below are my 8th Drawing Session with Gesture. I don't really know if I have improved or not. I think that my learning has stagnated.
Hey rak! I can see improvement for sure. Especially noticeable because you're doing less details and focusing on fewer lines. One thing you can do is simply copy Stan's drawings. They will guide you and hopefully you'll catch on to a few good habits.
Mostly, I would say - try finding one or two strong lines that will give you an overall feel of the figure. A lot of your center lines stop at the crotch, and I think you can challenge yourself by going all out - one line from neck to toe! See ow it goes!

Hi! I will be glad to hear comments =) My drawing from 2019. Now is the time to start studying anatomy again. I want to avoid old mistakes. Help with advice =)
hey Karina, these look good! The one thing that looks more obvious to me here is the neck muscle from the figure most to the right. Seems like you had some trouble getting the right angle for the shoulders, and compensated that by giving the figure a very strong looking neck!
Try to look at a skelleton model and think of the position of the main bones, and how they all connect. To be honest, side angles are hard for me on that part of the body as well, because we can't really tell if we're looking at the neck, back muscle or shoulder. Look yourself in the mirror and really pay attention while you pose similarly!

Would like some feedback on a sample of some of my recent gestures, I have been doing other studies and gestures before I started the course so anything to improve on that I may not know about would be appreciated.
I think they look very good! one thing I would challenge you to do is exaggerating the dynamic poses on the second page a bit more. This is hard and, as Stan says, you kinda have to break the rules there, but the end result is a much more interesting figure!
