Really fun, but hard assignement. The hardest was to determine the inclination of both boxes.

I sense a clear feel for perspective in these robo-bean/structure poses, I really enjoy watching this, excellent work especially how you got carried away with the last pose haha, very creative. always make sure to check your boxes following the same vanishing point and mind the horizon line when working with more than one shape o nthe same perspective, that's all I have to say imo because you're definitely on the right track I think !

A little more gesture for today, the first one was really hard I don't think I got to represent the pose faithfully so a little structure/foreshortening practice is in order maybe?
I would say I'm very impressed with the overall line work, they feel confident and flow well into the next line/gesture. As far as foreshortening/structure, for the scope of this lesson it doesn't feel required and maybe just moving onto the next lesson where that is part of it is a good next step.
I've been working on this topic for a while as I find it a lot of fun.
I think I'm doing well and I do need to work on the sloppiness of the sketch. Some feedback would be great.
The middle one in the second image I instantely recognize Xavier Houssin's work, an artist that inspires me very much as well, my critique here would be more about exageration, if you observe the pose I mentionned on the original work you used as reference, try to imagine the simplest action line on it and observe how much Xavier pushed the gesture to make her more dynamic. Otherwise it is pretty solid work keep it up ~

Could somebody tell me if I'm doing okay? I would really appreciate it. (These are poses of 1 minute)
it feels like you're still focusing a little on contour rather than movement/action some curves could be simplified even more, always remember CSI, but I can definitely sense a flow and energy in these sketches, you're on the right track !

today's gesture drawings, randomness had me draw a lot more of standing poses today haha, I tried to apply some of the feedback I had.
2nd and 8th look great! I've been adding a cross-hair marker under my sketches lately and it helps add a lot of weight and depth. I think you should give it a try, especially since you seem to really have a good 3 dimensional understanding. It forces a little more decisiveness when placing the feet.

here's two minute poses I did for warm up, I practiced gesture for a long time but any kind of feedback is most welcome !
These are quite good. Only thing I would say would be to have more conviction with your lines. I don't mean confidence (that seems to be quite good). I guess I mean contrast and varying values of your lines. I might mean "paint" your lines. Pick an artist you really like specifically for their lines and try to mimic those. Make a deliberate artistic decision with respect to your lines.
Literally this sentiment I just gave is something I need to do now because what I've just said applies to me just as much.
No I think you got thought I would maybe widen the arms lines a bit looks a little narrow and try overlapping lines so show what direction the form going.
hey there! Wanted to say that you honestly did a fantastic job (the bottom right one is my favourite), the only critique I have is that you could have pushed the line of action a bit further with the standing one
