I feel like I'm back in my human anatomy class ((biology study) at Uni:D
I did a few beans, any advice or critism for improvement? I did these as warm-ups in between my busy schedule.
Maybe in the first pose you could move the centreline so that it extends to the bottom part - we can see the pelvis front although it’s a bit twisted. I hope that makes sense...
hello, these are some of the beans that i drew. Did them before Stan and then compared to his drawings. And I have a problem with twisting, takes me a while to decide what way should I twist them.
2nd try...I was trying to make some cross contours but I really suck at it so far... I’ll keep trying-just wanted to show I try;) any feedback very appreciated,I love your suggestions- they are really helpful! Thank you, guys!
I tried overhand grip with Ipencil , didn’t know it’s possible! Lines are a bit wonky, I know... but I did try to vary the line as suggested:) what do you think? Any criticism very very welcome!
@Vera Zgonik I think it looks great. The only suggestion I can think of is focusing more on overlap and cross contours. If you indicate the 3 dimensional form using cross contours, the beans would feel much more solid and it would be easier to tell the orientation at a quick glance.
I'm new as well so I don't know if I'll be of any help. Maybe try to vary the strenth of the lines as Proko does to make the sketching of spheres less visible and to show the curves at the end more?

Any critique very welcome!
My first try on iPad... I’m still struggling with the gesture and I haven’t practiced for a few months now... I don’t like fb so I’m really glad for this site - I really want to get better so any feedback would be much appreciated!

Hi @Vera Zgonik These are great! Got nothing to critique, only a tip I received when I submitted my bean drawings for critique: Try to use different lineweight to emphasize the gesture and clarify overlaps.
Hope this helps :)
I used bird for the pose, gave him seahorse head with grasshoppers antennae, mushroom texture on the head, fern wing, beatle feet and tail from daisy and jellyfish. For the bkg I used the landscape reference... I know I should polish it but it’s 4 am and I wouldn’t make it to the deadline...
so this is a sketch I made in Procreate that I’m just getting to know...

Asked for help
Hi, I'm Vera from Slovenia - a tiny country in the middle of Europe (ex Yugoslavia). I have a PhD in biology and was a scientific researcher for 20 years but decided to give art a try because drawing at night and doing research at day with 3 kids is not sustainable in the long run as I found out;). (I was sick all the time due to the lack of sleep). So now I am trying to make it as a freelance illustrator and my end goal is to become a children's book illustrator.
I have no art education (except online classes) so any help and criticism are more than welcome! I am immensely grateful to Proko, all the professionals and everyone for taking the time for looking at this - you are the best!
Thank you so much!
I like the soft gray and brown ink lines you used in most of the pieces. Gives the feeling of light
