Silhouette
© 2023 NaimaDone as part of a practice session with poses of 2 minutes. Tried to put a silhouette to my line of action.

Really good overall, but there are a few detailes that catched my eye:
The joint on her left arm is a bit to angular and the forearms lack curvature. I'm pretty sure that by fixing the latter you fix the former. Keep this in mind: On the side that you put on top there's a curvature that starts at the joint and gradually gets thinner. That's okay, but the thing is that the opposite side has curvature as well, but rather that getting thinner as you go down the forearm, this one has it's peak at roughly the middle of the forearm. If you search for reference you will see what I mean. Generally that side follows the curve of the skelleton's forearm.
Also her right shoulder has a strange interaction with her chest. What I think might have happened here is a common mistake: As artists we tend to have an idea of how things look like, and when drawing we tend to draw from both the reference and our notion of how it should look like. This, however, can lead to contradictions between our sight and our intuition, and we tend to listen more to the latter. Whenever you feel like this it's good to actively try to understand where that contradiction comes from. I guess what would happen in this particular instance is that either the arm or the breast should go one in front of the other, but you wanted to portray them on the same depth relative to the camera.
Hope this helps :)

Hi ! you've got the underlying bones and rhythm right and i can see some structure to it as well, to improve i'd suggest you draw/study different body parts seperately, eg the torso and pelvis (watch the proko bean) , arms and the major muscles then legs and then hands and head.In any order of your choice.Once you understand individual parts better it'll improve your overall figure.keep going! Cheers!

Nicest, nicest, nicest, and yet, nicest job on how organic your silhouettes have become so far but to date, Naima, but I'm not still getting enough of your most appealing organicness in your sketches and scriblbles. How would you kindly love to push your forces of the postives and negatives with 30 more minutes of 29 second scribbliest poses, using your non-dominant hand, using the flips of horizontal, then the vertical AND horiZONtal?
The reason why you could and furthermore should do this suggestion is because when you work thru your non-dominant shoulder or elbow, your lines will become the most, most, most, most, MOST boldest yet lightest in your strokes. My hat's off to you, and good for you.
