Very strong start! :D
Proportion definitely appears to be your challenge right now. For example, the legs often appear to belong to a different size person than the upper body of your figures, such as the head. This is a common mistake to make and one of the hardest to train yourself out of, as you are focusing on capturing each individual part of the body accurately. But as you do so, take a moment now and again to try and compare the individual body parts to each other. How wide is the arm in comparison to the neck? To the thigh? Can you use the figure's head to measure the sizing of the other various body parts?
Thank you for sharing your work with us. I hope this helps a little bit.

I really like the volume and motion you've described here! The proportions are a bit off in some, but I'm not sure that that was the focus of your exercise.
I'd love to see more of your work! :)

Hi Jacquie777, I pushed a force update yesterday that I hope will address that issue for most people - so long as they are using relatively recent browsers. :)

Sometimes, big jumps forward require unlearning less helpful or outright wrong ideas we had before, and as the brain works on rewiring things are very messy in the interim.
Sometimes, we are just tired and need to allow ourselves the grace to not be up to our own standard 100% of the time.
Plase don't worry too much! You are doing okay! :)

This is a great exercise! I can practically see you learning as I look at this example. :)
I do feel as if I can tell which ones you do from imagination and which ones from reference, as the proportions are not quite there yet. But you're doing exactly the right thing to improve in that regard. Just keep on practicing!
