Torso studies:

Practicing the shape of the torso was easier than adding it to the gesture drawing.

I'm finding that the torso on gesture drawings aren't very proportional and that my gesture drawings aren't that proportional either. I think I may be dragging the hip down into the legs too much!

Legs:

Overall, I found myself rushing through the practice since I felt like I couldn't get all the shapes down proportionately in time. The sitting pose was a nightmare haha I could not figure out the legs. I also have found myself cutting out the action lines because when I do that with the legs, I don't get anything very proportionate and end up redrawing over it anyway. Just hard to practice fast atm so I will take my time.

Update on legs:

I have been practicing drawing the legs by themselves since I found myself struggling with them and forgetting how to draw them. I rewatched the legs video and practiced a bit more.

Head & Neck:

Drawing the head seemed so simple but I struggled to draw the cranium in connection to the face for some reason. It's hard to see the shape of the cranium under hair and if it's oval or circle based on the angle.
