Hi @Stefan Moore , there's some good stuff going on here! Keep on practicing these! I think the top middle one has very good gesture (nice s-curve rythm) and I really like in the left drawing how you've connected the head torso and her left leg into a single s-cruve rythm, going through the center of the body. Whenever I get the change I try to simplify things into these long rythms! I'll do my best to help you further: PRACTICE TIPS I attached an image with some practice tips. I think this is the most important advice I can give you at the moment. If you practice a lot and with those tips in mind I think you'll be able to improve fast and find the answers to many of your questions on your own. LINE QUALITY I really recommend watching this video and applying what it teaches https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-hold-and-control-your-pencil/assignments Being able to draw long strokes confidently is a great tool for gesture drawing; the drawings come out faster and are more clean. 30 SECOND POSES - Don't forget to do 30 second poses as well. In fact, here is where I would spend most of my time in the beginning. 30s poses are great, because they force you to only focus on what's essential, plus you get to practice that 4 times instead of just once in 2 minutes. It's a great way to get comfortable with the human figure, the gesture & the proportions, and your pencil. Getting a good grip of the big picture also helps when adding details. DRAW THE FLOW I think you would appreciate reading the critique I gave another student, TobeO. There might be some useful stuff in there https://www.proko.com/profile/thosakwe/activity (Scroll down to his first post) But again the practice tips are the most important, especially the part about following along with Stan, since his good habits will become part of your repertoar I hope this was helpful :) Keep up the good work!
