My first attempt drawing a nuclear reactor and my third attempt drawing Proko's arcade from memory. I had a pleasant experience with this assignment, but I'm a bit sloppy with some of my lines.

My third attempt drawing the 24 poses after watching the demo, critique, and reading the e-book. All of the poses were drawn in ~7 minutes for a combined total of around 3 hours. I felt more confident in my rhythms the further I progressed, and I am happy with these results. I will definitely incorporate this exercise into my practices. Critiques would be appreciated.

These are super nice gestures!

Def I need more practice with rhythms... Any feedback is much appreciated!
Stefan Sharkov
Good attempts. It looks like your putting down the anatomy too early. If you must, spend the whole time just looking for rhythms between shapes and body parts.
@osa
Here is my 2nd attempt at the rhythms, I think I’ve improved since I last posted these. Each of these took me a while, about 10 mins on average. for me, finding the connection between the ribs and the hips is the toughest part.

These are strong attempts. Your line weight also looks much stronger. Great work.
@gimmiki
These were two different sessions of 8 poses, I feel like I stared to understand it alittle during my second go at it but my lines and my line weight were non existent here. Any tips to help me with those two problems is appreciated.
Stefan Sharkov
With the line weight, I would like to know what kind of charcoal pencil you're using. If you're using a HARD pencil, you won't get as much line weigh as a MED or SOFT pencil. The is usually located at the end of the pencil.

The second batch of practice I drew while watching Stan's Lave 1 Demo. Two of them were drawn with an overhand grip. I took too long (~30 minutes, even longer with an overhand grip) to draw each figure. I need to be able to draw faster.
Stefan Sharkov
That would be my advice as well. If you speed up, you will naturally simplify the drawings, hopefully to just their rhythms.

Hello, this is my first time doing anatomy poses. I have no idea of what I'm doing or where to start, can someone please help me and give me critiques?
Stefan Sharkov
My critique is to not worry about the anatomy. Just keep thinking about the rhythms that connect all the body parts together instead of the small bumps on top of those rhythms.

I did another set after watching the demo. This time I tried to be more mindful of ignoring the details and finding the flow, capture accurate proportions and also be mindful of line quality. These are some examples side by side (first before the demo, then after the demo). The results seem to me mostly hit or miss (not happy at all with the line quality) but it’s nice to see some progress overall. Any critique is appreciated.
Stefan Sharkov
Your second attempts are definitely more successful. Great work.

I started by drawing heads and then torsos. 
Stefan Sharkov
Great exercises. I would like to see your drawings of arms and legs as well, But I'd say right now it's more important to connect all these parts together. If your start capturing the rhythms through the whole body, all of these parts will look more connected.

These are some strong attempts, nice work.
