i feel my lack of ability in perspective and draftsmanship are really hurting me here.

stans exaggerated drawings make it hard to identify landmarks as some angles completely change because of the exaggeration.

Visualizing the torso as the bean really helps to get the proportions more accurate than just following the gesture alone. This was a very helpful exercise.

This lesson has been the most fun so far. Combining a little bit of anatomy with exaggerated poses really helps the drawing come to life. I find studying the model and then seeing them come to life on the page gives a really satisfactory feeling.

when would be the best time to move on to the next lesson?

Im really struggling with this one. I feel like the ones that i did originally were better than the ones i did now after taking advice from this video and the critique one. I guess i have to continue practising. I have been using the references from lineofaction and they seem to be way above my skill level lol.
