added comment inFigure and head drawing practice
You are on the right way. First steps are looking to the arms and legs as if they are cylinders. Next step is the posture. Keep in mind the weight this lady got on her right leg. Not the left leg. In your drawing you got the weight more in the middle, instead of the right leg. Push the butt more to the right, the angle from right knee to the butt is changing too.
My two cents,

Thanks, looking at it I realize I messed that angle up and didn’t really exaggerate here. Will keep it in mind for next time
I’m posting my anatomy studies here, feel free to critique
this is joint simplification
I’m going to post my practice here. Any critique is welcome

Hey, great job. I especially like the last page some of the poses really show that we’re above or below the figure clearly. Your asymmetry is really nice to look at as well imo. Sorry if that seems kind of unclear
one thing I recommend is finding a main line of action to unify the pose.
Also if your doing gestures don’t worry so much about representing anatomy at this stage. Gesture is about representing movement. I’m also a student myself and can’t explain it that well yet.
For reference thought I think you should look at Brent Eviston if you decide to go with finding the line of action and working from there. But if you want to start from the head and work your way down Stephen Michael Hampton is really helpful.
you can look at other methods as well, I’m just familiar with those two

hello again, I’m pushing myself into starting to learn anatomy. I tried the joint simplification and I just wanted to share my work and get other eyes on it

I’m working on gesture following Brent Eviston’s basic method for it these are some of my most recent gestures if you have any critique I’d love to hear it

Asked for help
I’m back and focusing on drawing the head this week using Stephen Michael Hampton’s approach would love some feedback
Michael Hampton is a really good source! My recommendation would be to draw heads in bigger sizes, mr Hampton's aproach uses a lot of construction and geometrical detail, so in order to get the most out of this exercise it might be a good idea to practice with a bigger size. If you are working on an A4 piece of paper (regular size), draw the head in a size so you have 4 to 6 heads per page, that would give you more space for details to represent the construction. The basic construction that you got looks about right, the proportion and later details will start to look better the more you practice.
Good work and keep practicing!
I want to share some of my drawings. Feel free to critique or share your thoughts. I’ve been stagnant for a while now, so I’m hoping that this change will help me improve.
