I wish there was a bit more guidance with the photoshop use. I'm pretty lost as to which brushes to use like yeah I downloaded them but which is useful for what :/

Im using the hard round for the linework, the soft airbrush for the rendering and using his flat textured brush for the painterly style. Hope that helps.

Can someone help me with the twists? In the twist section, sometimes the bean takes an "S" shape where there are opposing overlaps in both sides, this one makes sense to me, but sometimes if you were to look at the silhoutte it looks like a tilting bean (with one long "C" curve at one side), but the vertical contour line bends like an S. It's not so much that I don't understand the bean itself, but when looking at the body I have no idea which twisting motion I should draw.
The way I'm doing the excerises is that I'm doing the bean myself, and then see how Proko does that same pose and at this point I'm just guessing. Sometimes I do it like he does but honestly it feels like I was just guessing,
For now, my theory is that if both spheres are twisting in the same direction but one less intense than the other then use the tilting silhouette and denote the twist with the vertical contour line, and if they are twisting in opposite directions then use the full S-shaped bean. Can someone confirm or correct my hypothesis? Thanks!
I was a bit thrown off by 27:08 (Man laying back) and the one with the answer.
Typically, it seems like whatever portion is nearer/coming toward the viewer will overlap, so that's why I don't get those ones. *shrug*
When I drew the men I made the pelvic sphere overlap the torso on the pinch side (our left) because the torso is leaning back away from the viewer and behind the pelvic sphere.
And, to me, on the answer pose, the pinch side looked right the first time because the torso is not rotating to the right toward us, it's positioned so the right arm goes forward and left, which is what he emphasizes in his curve, but that's away from us and the pelvis, so idk. *shrugs*
I'd like to hear other's thoughts and experience on those two examples as well.
Anyway, I see your theory. He uses the S curve to really emphasize the more opposite facing portions, especially useful for twists. At first I sketched the curves "as is" and my beans looked very flat, hehe, so the S curve really dramatizes dat bean!
this may seem like a weird advice but try to draw twisted flat objects or just draw twisted leaves and how they work, it will help you visualize better
