Examples of the Robo Bean Leaning.

Hello, could you please give me some advice how to improve them? I think the main problem is proportions + wrong perspective. I sometimes find it hard to visualize the box behind all the distracting volumes of the muscles and skin. I try to focus on the visible landmarks, make a line where I see them, but then I struggle with connecting it to the other side (which is sometimes hidden behind those other volumes.
numbers by the drawings are refference to the poses from the Gesture Reference Sampler nude.

3D vision just ain't my thing.
I'm on my way there though.
The rest of the examples will come later.

In the first example Stan shows in this sequence, I'm a little confused how we are seeing the front AND back planes of the torso. Is Stan just super exaggerating his upper box to have and intense curve?

1st attempt is watching the pose 2. is watching stan do it 3. is again just watching the pose. any critique is appreciated if u go over mine i'll gladly go over yours

Robo Bean practice and draw along, could use some feedback. I get the towel twisting visually, but drawing and grasping it myself is more challenging. Anything else that is seen, please feel free to comment :)

Was drawing along with this video to understand a gesture in robo-bean better

These are fun, and insightful, and tricky!

My sketches for the robo bean "lean" lesson. I thought it was pretty challenging!

I used the references in the video above and didn't watch the actual process. I started with red as a foundation sketch, then black for my final, then yellow to show the difference in general direction between what I watched in the video afterwards.
The biggest thing I noticed was just how off I could be on some of the severity of the angles, effectively drawing a 15 degree angle when in reality the box leaned around 25 degrees. I also sometimes forgot that the start of a crease or fold typically started around the box itself not a random part of the mid section, but rather the lean of the top/bottom box causes and starts the crease.

I did the assignment examples on my own first and then followed along with Stan. I’m also unsure whether to indicate a top/bottom plane on some poses, but I found that overlaying Stan’s drawing over the reference first and then overlaying my drawing helped me understand where I misjudged the perspective of the forms.

stans exaggerated drawings make it hard to identify landmarks as some angles completely change because of the exaggeration.

I'm having fun following through this lesson but I'm confused by one thing in Stan's finished examples. How I study these is that when the reference comes up, I pause the video, Draw it for myself, and then watch Stan's process and see what he does differently and how I can improve my own, pointing out the mistakes I made during my process. My confusion is that in some of these drawings, Stan will draw the "guts" connecting the pelvic and rib-cage prisms together, and sometimes he'll just leave the drawing as two floating rectangles. Is there any particular reason for it? It's just a minor thing that was bothering me through the tutorial.

This section sure is tough compared to the previous ones! (Except the landmark section, I had no idea what was going on there ha), but I guess that means it's where the real improvement can take place. Here's some of my attempts, some of these are from the photos he used in the video, some are based off other reference. It's so hard comparing mine to his because his line quality is so amazing, ha. Mine are certainly a lot more messy than I'd like.
The hardest part for me definitely feels like putting down the first shapes. Would it be wrong to just start with a normal bean and then turn it into boxes? Starting with the boxes from the beginning feels really hard.
Any other feedback would be super appreciated. I'll probably spend a long while on this, cuz it seems like this is a really essential skill to practice.

This is my final robo bean study for now, as I've decided to move onto the next exercise. I'm certainly not saying I've mastered this, far from it, but I feel a need for a new challenge. I've enjoyed these exercises, but they are really tricky. Drawing 3-D boxes is harder than it looks sometimes.
