2 thru 6 again. At first I was making the torso too long and the legs too short. Tough to keep it in proportion! Thoughts?
Again, forgive the quality. I had to darken the marks so they'd show up in the picture

Good start. Pay attention to where you're placing the individual lines in relationship to the other lines in the pose. That will help with proportion.

Today's submission.
I'm having a hard time controlling the pencil today, maybe I'm not feeling it. Will definitely do this again tomorrow and post it here.

2024/9/5. Hi everybody! Hi Brent!! Here’s my assignment. I had big problems in connecting the secondary action lines to the primary one and I ended up with some unfinished figure drawings. I hope to do better in the next attempts, after watching the demonstration video again. Thanks for your feedback, comments or critiques! Have a nice day.

Good start. I like the curves, but all of these figures are looking too short and stalky. Remember to elongate the figure when the model warrants it.

Went through the reel twice with a few practice sessions using poses on my computer in between. I think my second go through fits the action better with a bit better proportions, but I was focusing on light lines better on the first go.

Great start! I like that you’re experimenting with different solutions to the same poses. Id like to see you pay more attention to the placement of the various parts of the body in relationship to one another. Even at this early, gestural stage you should start to establish the width and height of the figure. For example, in drawing 2 of 15, the placement of the legs widens the figure a bit too much. With continued practice you will be able to make these kinds of evaluations much easier and more consistently.

Great lesson and exercise. I already have some decent experience with gestures but I've never been able to simplify them so well and draw them in so few lines!
