Thanks for all the insights, it has been very eye opening.

Thanks for the insight, I'll look into the person you mentioned.

Did some watercolors figures and all critiques are welcomed. Should I add another color to make the figures more interesting? Also, any recommendation on books or resources about watercolor and gouache? I just realized I don't have books or references that focuses on watercolor and gouache.

Can I make stylistic choices when rendering? For example, I used ink and watercolor to capture the shapes of light and shadow. Also, am I obligated to make realistic rendering or is it a choice? All other crituqes are welcomed.

My first time using Proko's Robo Beans. It was akward at first, yet the torso and plevis looks more interesting. Any suggestions to improve this, especially foreshorten figures?

Thanks for the suggestions. I do prefer critiques that are direct and on point, all of your suggestions had been very insightful.

Also, what type of paper that is ideal for graphite? I'm using a sketchbook that said that it can be used for pencils and ink. But what qualities that I should look for when shopping for paper?

Some 5 to 10 minutes drawings, forget to showed them. One of my 10 minute drawing I was focusing on the upper body. I did noticed that blocking the shadows (with the help of squintikng my eyes) does make the process more simplified. Any suggestions?

Going through Proko's course, using the bean method is interesting. I noticed that my quick gestures do look more "alive". I will be continuing his course, especially his Rbobeans.

This was very informative, thank you for time to exlpain my shortcomings. I do watch Proko's content but to have a structure class that focuses on foundation figures is immensely helpful.

Critique on rendering and anatomy. The books suggest had been useful. Any suggestions for more challenging activities to improve shortcomings, especially foreshortening?

Edit: Fixing some techincal issues. For some reason, the link does not show all of my images in a single post. Not sure if anyone saw all of my drawings.

Working on Clairfying/Story Telling. I added expressions to see if the gesture captures performance. Also, I want to improve my rendering. Any tips and sugesstions? Resources? 10 minutes drawings really helped, should I study longer?

Thanks for the critique. As for the texts you mentioned, I have already have purchased the books and they have been a wealth of examples and tips. I will do more 10+ minutes of drawings.
