[Robobean] Feedback greatly appreciated

@mrincongruous
Out of all the Proko exercises I've done so far, I think this is the one where I notice the most the difference between what I want to achieve and the actual results.
... It's going to be a very, very long week :P
I think u skipped the normal bean...
Actually, I spent a whole week doing only the bean, though, as you can see, the results are far from impressive :P https://www.proko.com/community/topics/bean-am-i-doing-this-correctly
Still, I guess the only way to improve is to keep going at it. Thanks for taking the time to comment and give your feedback ^_^
Hi mrincongruous,
I advise you not to use clothed poses at this stage, they make it very difficult for you to see the shapes, especially the pelvis, which you have in fact misunderstood several times (it is perfectly normal since clothes hide it).
In some cases there are torsions of the torso and important foreshortening (some poses you have chosen would be problematic even without the clothes which confuse the shapes).
I'm attaching a couple of very quick sketches (sorry, they're quite messy!) to show you what I mean.
That makes a lot of sense, thank you for your feedback ^_^ I'll try with nude figures and see how it goes :)
I think something you need to look out for is the angle of the rib cage/shoulder and the pelvis. In most cases if the rib cage tilts one way, the pelvis tilts the other way to counter balance. This especially applies to the pose of the guy with his shirt off (a sailor, I think). You did this well with the guy with the rose, but don’t be afraid to push and exaggerate the poses. Another thing I believe would help you would be to practice drawing boxes. The perspective is a bit wonky in a few of these, especially the very foreshortened ones (ex.: the person with the skulls at his feet). Focusing on getting boxes down will help you in the long run. Hope this helps!
Thanks for your reply :D
The bad part of being a beginner is that everything is bad: the lines, the perspective, the execution, etc :P
The unit that goes after the proko figure fundamentals in the syllabus I'm following is going through the first 2 units of draw a box, guess that should help me with drawing boxes :D
