These proportion exercises are looking great, the female proportions are very aesthetic. Keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback! For those proportions I mostly tried to copy Marc from the video, these are the first ones I tried from memory:
And some 1-minute gestures:
I ran out of space for some of these, and on my last ones too. I think the ones that turned out better are where I remembered the lesson of the proportions exercise and started with the head.
I think I'll try the last figure exercise a few times and then start Term 2. The great thing about these self paced lessons is I can always go back to these ones if the new ones start to feel like too much.
Lately Cyberpunk 2077 and Sekiro! Which are probably having an influence on my art... 
here is my first try at the figure measuring exercise, it has some issues but I'm happy with it for a first try... maybe I'll get the courage to try drawing faces on my next ones!
Oh Cyberpunk 77, yeah it's a nice game :}
... unfortunately I bought it for ps4, so I've never played my own game haha xD
I tested it with a friend (he had the pc version) and I'm thinking about buying it for pc 🤔
It is really good on PC! Especially since they fixed almost all the bugs now.
Here are some more gestures., first a couple pages of 30s and then one of 1m, then one more figure measure drawing, which turned out a bit messy because I felt like I spent to much time on my last one and I decided to try to do this one faster:
Using references with boxing gloves is a good excuse not to draw hands 
When I first joined the feedback group I was struggling with just drawing the figure let alone the hands, Marc told me to just draw mittens for the hands until I was more comfortable. So drawing boxing gloves is like a mitten! Keep up the good work!
Thanks @Lockenheim! I think trying to draw hands more is something I'll have to do sooner rather than later, but with the 30s/1m gestures a basic mitten outline is usually all I have time for anyway
I've been doing some exercises but not posting them, I try to avoid social media sometimes, avoiding distractions is something I fight with a lot, so here's all my stuff since my last post:
because the faces I tried to draw in this one reminded me of the STONKS meme guy lol. But I really like this measuring exercise. I feel really confident drawing figures with measuring lines.
Snakker here, good stuff so far! I really liked that mech concept where you mashed a couple of real life military stuff to make a new concept, I think that's really cool and gives a kind of metal gear feel.
As for making things look alive, I think the key is using the fundamentals to your advantage to be able to convey any particular feeling you are looking for. I'm far from getting there but I do like appreciating how artists use the fundamentals to make a work feel bigger than life, another makes you feel sorrow, another might convey the innocence of youth etc. A lot of it comes down to observing the real world, life, and using what you observe - those little details that to you may convey something, some nostalgia, a particular feeling - something and use it to make something feel more alive. I think it comes down in the end to doing all these studies so that perspective, construction, gesture, composition, the figure, color, depth etc come together as tools for your own artistic vision to be able to convey those things.
In other words, you really shouldn't feel disheartened if your drawings feel lifeless at this point, it just means you still need to spend some time learning the fundamentals and then when you have mastery, even of one or a couple, you will be able to convey emotions and ideas much more easily in your work
cheers and keep it up!
