thanks for tip
figure pose with cilinders + trying to redraw the pose next to the original
Starting with proportions
Any feedback appreciated
Been drawing nude figure drawing whole week and I think I can move on and start with measurements. I must say it was freaking disaster. 
I have to help myself with line of action, cilinders etd. I know it's not a bad thing but can tell right now that this will be diffilcult for me so I will be glad for any feedback, or your experience when you started this exercise so I don't feel like an idiot please 
hey, i would say you did a pretty good job with this one, don't be to harsh on yourself. As anything, just keep at it, you will get more accurate. One thing that helped me is to do as many lines as i needed it on the reference, like drawing a line on the leg to know the thickness of it for example, keep it up
This is actually very nice, there are some nice dynamic intersecting lines on the limbs and the exaggerated hip motion goes well with the pose (while not 100% accurate)
Just keep at it!
Cheers
another day, another figures

Great work looking solid!
Good work, fellow Jan '23 starter! Keep at it

Hey, it's been a while. I'm starting with gesture drawing. Figure drawing was really pain in the ass for me. It seems to me like I didn't understand the assignment and didn't improve a bit. I think it's because don't understand a figure as a whole so my plan is to practice gesture drawing first so I learn the siluet of human body so it makes sence and then move to making more detailed and more precise figures. I hope it make sense. Anyway my first gesture drawing and my first impresions are: "Damn, it's harder then it seems".
I know there are definitely thing to improve but I don't know what exactly so any feedback is appreciated 
I'll try to practice ggesture drawing every day for 30 minutes and post it here (for 1 month). sometimes i'll be drawing in sketchbook instead of photoshop so I'll post photos.
I feel you, it can be hard!
I think now in hindsight that the three exercises are very smartly selected. In one you draw cylinders spheres and cubes to represent forms in 3D space using a body as reference, in another you work hand eye coordination and measuring plus double checking yourself and in the third you learn to get a feel for the poses. No anatomy needed. A few things that I learned during the process of term 1 is that there are certain combinations of lines that can look very pleasing (like tapering curves that intersect with straight lines or angles denoting forces or flows of gravity) and others don’t (like symmetrical curves for example) and the importance of varying line-weight (and paying attention to quality of the lines in general)
One thing that helps woth this is to experiment with the placement of your canvas and how you use your arm to draw. Definitely try drawing big - use all the canvas - and have an angle that is comfortable to you - even better if it allows you to use your shoulders to draw
Cheers and keep working it!
