You nailed it! I agree, it's more important for this assignment to make those energetic strokes and find the rhythms. The proportions do look pretty good to me though. Nice work!

It looks good to me. Seems, like you figured it out 😉

Proportionally these look excellent! Your lines are very clean; don't be afraid to loosen up a bit, particularly for this assignment that is encouraging you to implement searching lines. This is a great opportunity to be more experimental. As long as you lay in your searching lines lightly, those lines will be easy to manage and help you find the right ones.

I like the gesture in your index finger. If you look at the plane that the knuckles create, the angle is quite different between the inner two fingers and the outer two fingers. This is what my immature eye sees. I hope it's helpful.

The results look very nice overall, so great job! I do notice some areas where practicing looseness could help the flow more, rather than quickly correcting before the line is able to gain flow. Give it a try to start with a very light sketch, leaving the mistakes on the page instead of erasing them. Because the pencil mark is made very lightly, you can just go over on top of it with a new mark if you mess up. That can help build more momentum for the flow and let go a bit more, without the eraser jumping in to interrupt. Once you feel you have the right line, you can just go over it with a final, darker line to make it feel more polished and clear.

This looks really good! You're getting a lot of things right here, your proportions are well observed, you're drawing with simplified CSI lines, I can see you're establishing a gesture and working from largest shapes to the smaller shapes. Really nice work! Running out of room on the page is VERY common, and an it's an easy fix for next time! Before you get started drawing try to imagine an envelope around whatever you're about to draw, and visualize the space you want it to occupy on the page. Sometimes I'll imagine it as a sticker between my fingers and map out where I want the placement on the page with my hand before beginning. Give yourself a few light marks on the page to establish the outside boundaries and start to work within that envelope. Even if you break outside of that envelope estimate later in the drawing, you're still being conscious of the page boundaries and quickly planning your page composition before you start drawing. Thanks for sharing your progress!! Putting your work out there for critique is difficult, but you'll see your improvement skyrocket if you keep up the practice and establish a feedback loop! Hope this helps, looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Really nice work! Great to see you drawing through, and thinking with big shapes first, then narrowing down. The proportions look really good too! Keep up the good work!
