This is new for me - I’m trying loosen up, stop before overworking, and explore color.  These are my first efforts at quick studies with watercolor. I gave myself a fairly short timeframe (15 min) to work with a hard-to-control medium. LOA gave me all profiles this time.

I’d appreciate feedback - hope I linked them correctly. They’re in my sketchbook 
Thanks

Wow! I’d say you have a really good grasp of proportion in line. Since these are one minute drawings, I’m not surprised that they have a bit of a caricature feel (the more of them you do). I’m guessing you would capture more of the individual with a little longer drawing time. But great beginning to great drawings.

Nicely done. Your linework describes the shapes beautifully (particularly the 2nd and 3rd images). You did a great job of capturing the twisting forms in the 3rd - the feet are great (feet can be hard). 

I do think the heads  in both of those figures seem the wrong proportion to the bodies - they appear to be on the small side. There’s something that seems off about the back knee in the 3rd - looks like a side view of the knee, but the foot is facing more forward. It’s hard to say for sure without seeing the sources.
