LandmarksI'm a bit unsure if I'm doing this assignment correctly, so I just wanted to ask if this is a good approach. Any other kind of critique is also welcome.

posting this so that anyone can reply, still not sure about how to post the actual topic as "Help Request".
So when I look at twisted poses I am able to break them down in to two boxes representing the pelvis and ribcage without much difficulty and visualize the twist prety well, however, I strugle with translating that information in to a bean. I often understand how a pose is twisting but I just can't seem to be able to capture twists very well with a bean, it just feels a bit too abstract. I guess what I'm asking is how do I turn something like this (first image) in to something like this (second image) (Not my drawings).
I don't have much experience with gesture drawing, but I can tell you're doing a really good job staying loose with your lines. With some of these, it looks like your line confidence is a little shaky and as a result muddies the gesture a bit. One thing you could try is to just commit to your lines and if you mess up just push onto the next gesture and come back to the pose later. That will help you avoid developing hairy lines as a habit when you're drawing.
I'm a bit late with responding but I did take what you said into consideration during my figure-drawing sessions by limiting the number of lines I can use when doing gesture drawings and it has definitely helped me improve my line quality. Thanks!

you just have to mark it when you make the post, but thanks for including this so we know you want a critique.
Hi! I did these gesture drawings after watching the video "How to Draw Gesture" and I'd like to hear your opinions about them. One of the reasons why I am asking this is that I have just started to go through the free figure drawing course a bit more seriously now, whereas before I was exposed to and practiced the principles covered in the course but in a kind of unstructured way for quite a long time and I feel like I am repeating a lot of mistakes because I did not draw along with the assignment example videos that much or ask for critique very often. So basically what I am asking is do you see any repeated mistakes that are holding me back? (or anything else regarding my gesture drawings) Feedback is very much appreciated, thanks!
These are 30-second and 2-minute drawings I did with the Conte à Paris 2B charcoal pencil that I got recently in preparation for going through this course on just normal A3 office paper.
If you would like to see more material to make a better assessment I could provide even more drawings, there is no shortage of it lol.
I'm pretty new to charcoal as a medium so I followed Proko's old video on sharpening the pencil and I think my pencil turned out looking pretty good but when I tried it the strokes did not come out nearly as soft as in the video. Anyone who knows what might be causing this?
My character design: The Autumnal. Attached a couple of closeups as well.
Hi there, I have been working on the figure drawing fundamentals course for a while now and although I do feel like I’m not confident enough to tackle the anatomy course yet I can’t help to wonder if I should be learning some basic anatomy along side the figure drawing fundamentals so that my drawings can start to look a bit more like humans rather than just mannequins. Or is it possible to make convincing human figures without any knowledge of anatomy and I just have to stick to the fundamentals?
This might have been a bit messy, but I hope someone can give some form of an answer. Any feedbacks is very much appreciated!
