Hi @Bryan Hacohen (Hacob), I attached some brief bean drawings for some of the images you provided. From what I could see in the first image, we shouldn't be able to see the top of her torso, so the bean should be drawn to communicate that. Additionally, I just adjusted the overlap for the second image (which I believe was addressed by Maximilian).
In terms of the twist in the fourth pose, it is either very slight or non existent. However, since there is a clear twist going on from her head, I like how you exaggerated that in your bean drawing. The centerline doesn't quite match up, and we shouldn't be able to see the top of the torso, but keeping this exaggeration in mind is good for your future exercises.
Hope you found this helpful, and let me know if there is anything that I can clear up for you!

Hey Brian,
first of all, good practice! You seem to understand twisting, stretching and pinching.
There are two major things I noticed:
- First, take a closer look at where the center line really is. For example your last pose: Her whole body is facing right and only her head is facing left (from her point of view), so there is actually no twist - contrary to what you drew. A good indicator of where to put the center line are two points. Where's the pit of the neck? Where is the space between her breasts (or pecs for males)? Just connect these points down the rib cage. Also look at the other poses again adjust the center lines.
- Second, we tend to straighten out the poses that are too foreshortened. For example your second and fourth pose: In terms of perspective, there's more overlap of the spheres happening. In the second pose, the rib cage is overlapping the pelvis and in the forth pose the other way around.
Hope this helps. Keep it up! -Max
