Fundamentos de desenho de figuras para iniciantes — gestos e construção

Hello again Mia, thank you for you patience!  Really nice start here, you've done very well for a first attempt at figure drawing.  What you want to be mindful of is jumping in too early with details of the figure.  It's very tempting to want to jump into the more fun stuff like muscles and hair and whatnot.  Before you get to the more detailed work, try to work on more simplified underlying shapes and forms first.  If those underlying forms and shapes are not structured well enough then it's not going to matter how much detail we lay on top.  So, what I would suggest going is working on your underlying forms more. Some good sketches here, just need to work on execution.  Second, you've got the right idea with the cross contouring, but you want to cross contour all the way around the figure. Think of the figure as being made of glass.  Drawing cross contours transparently helps us to understand 3D form a lot more. Remember, we trying to translate 3 dimensions onto a flat 2D surface, and we have to take into consideration not only the side we can see, but the side we can't see. So, extend those cross contours all around the body.  Your gesture is overall good in many of these poses, just be careful of adding in too many straight lines especially on the limbs.  Straight lines will kill the gesture rhythm. Also, just judging from your line work, it looks like you might be drawing too cautiously, like you're drawing from your wrist. Free yourself up more by drawing from your shoulder. That's going to allow you to create big sweeping gesture lines. Think like a tennis player. Allow yourself to build the line work up lightly and gradually, and try to avoid overdrawing the pose.  Overdrawing usually comes about because someone is putting too much focus on copying the pose rather than interpreting it. Your goal is to learn to construct, not to copy. That coms back to using basic shapes and forms. Once you learn to draw the figure with basic shapes and forms in mind the less you'll focus on copying. But overall nice start here, keep it up!  Let me know if you have any questions about this class, and feel free to leave a review also if it's helped you out! :)

Hello Mia! Thank you for posting your projects.  I will take a closer look at them both tomorrow and get you some feedback then.  Appreciate your patience! :)

This is my first time doing figure drawing so I'm pleased that they're human shaped! Feel like I learned a lot and have a lot to work on.
